The correct tools are make or break in the search for search optimization processes that bring more traffic.
Using the correct tools is very crucial.
A great place to start is with keyword seo tools.. Another good tool sorry not free is Market Samurai, which does a lot more than just keyword research.
Two Great Seo Tips that we are betting that you didn't Know
Another tool that might be worth your time is RSS feed submission software. Blogs already have RSS feeds, but its a pretty good bet that your wonderful html site might not. But this is not a problem as you can easily add an RSS feed to nearly any online site — this is something that few marketers know, which means you will be ahead of the game!
By submitting your RSS feed to different directories, you will be getting more exposure and more links back to your website.
Social bookmarking tools have also been popular for a couple of years now. However, “their effectiveness has declined a lot”, in many SEO expert’s opinions but not in mine and I have the proof.
The above text points specifically about or at Social bookmarking links and not the automated bookmarking tools. Some tools have or leave identifying marks in their work that are a easily read signals to the technical guys that play with the google search algorithms.
There is significantly more to seo tools, so don’t stop with this article.
Remember that rewards rarely come fast in this area – so be persistent!
Tired of reading stuff that you knew already, ha ha. If you are in expert in this field, i thought so.
Now for what the promised 2 TIPS that YOU DIDN’T KNOW
Google Analytic numbers are wrong.
Google knows they are wrong, in fact several years ago when Google purchased urchin, it was discussed that people turning off cookies could adversely affect the results of non-local analytics like google analytics.
So if google analytics is incorrect, how does one find out what truly the unique visitors are and what their patterns are like? Well, all major http servers like apache and IIS have logs. These logs will be accurate and will have far more accurate information than Google analytics.
Use your logs for analytics and don’t trust external 3rd parties.
How far wrong can third party counters be?
How about, in extreme cases as much as a shocking 3-400%
Ha ha, Ok, I know you didn’t know that !
The sad thing is that alexa and other sources that we use for competitive analysis can also be off significantly though probably not as much as 300%.
How fast is your website?
The amount of traffic that google sends to your site may in the near future be determined in part by the speed with which your website can satisfy user requests. A very slow website, can’t handle tens of thousands of users daily, so even if its optimized properly, has backlinks that number in the tens of thousands why should google send visitors to such a site?
Ha ha, bet, in the past, you hadn’t thought of that one either — but Google has. Ok, thats number 2. Over and out.
