Free Useful
Website Tools
Building a professional website is one
part of having an online presence. Whether you have a traditional
storefront, or office, your website will become more visible to potential
and current customers/clients.
Every website that is selling a service
or product is vying for attention. With billions of pages and millions of
websites competing, how do you combat this crowded cyberspace with your
website?
Before using any of the tools in this
article, be sure all the links are working and all your pages have updated
text and the contact information is current.
Use these useful free marketing tools
to keep your business website search engine friendly. In turn it will help
your website be listed at the top of the major SE’s like Google, Yahoo and
Bing.
Back Link Anchor Text Checker
Sounds like a mouthful, well that is
because it is. Anchor text is what another site will write about the link to
your site. It helps to know what anchor text is saying so that you can then
contact the other site(s) if the information is wrong, or to update them
about your company’s website.
It is also important to have “quality”
than quantity back links. The more quality and relevant links that point to
your site will further your position with all the search engines.
The Backlink Anchor Text Checker will
analyze the anchor text of links directing to your site.

Keywords and
Phrases
Everyone knows that keywords and
phrases still play a vital role. If you are having trouble coming up with
the right keywords, then The Search Combination Tool is a good start. It
will create a list of popular keyword combinations that you may not have
considered. By following some simple steps you can generate excellent
keywords. For example, just enter in a list of related keywords in the first and second box on each line when
you use the Search Combination Tool. Then click “create queries” and you
will get lists of keyword combinations that are popular in Google, Yahoo and
Bing. It is a smart idea to then use this information to optimize your site
and get more qualified traffic:

Keyword
Density
Now that you have a bunch of keywords,
be sure you do not overuse them. If you include too many keywords, it is
called “stuffing” and the search engines will either rank you very low, or
view your site as a spammer. Best practice is to limit the keywords to about
8 or 10. If you have up to 20 on any one page, then you might fall in
rankings.
The GoRank Keyword Density Analyzer
will analyze the keyword density of your site.
This tool gives you a report on single,
two word and three word phrases found on your site and if they are included
in the title, alt text, description and more. You can even check a
competitor’s site with this tool.

engine rankings. By typing the name of your website in the area
indicated, this tool will decide what the theme of your site is and
generate a list of top keywords, along with their search results.
