5 Free SEO Tools That Can Help With Your Online Visibility

In a world dominated by high-priced SEO Tools looking to take your bank account hostage, there are a few “white knight” free SEO tools that can help. There’s nothing better than having free tools that can make your life easier when it comes to your website, and the market that you’re in.

Unfortunately, for every good free SEO tool, there’s 15 bad ones. The hard part is sifting through all the nonsense to find the ones that can give valuable information to you. So I’ve decided to throw out a few of the SEO tools that I highly recommend and maybe you’ll find some use for them as well.

5 Free SEO Tools

Ubersuggest.org – is a great idea generator when you’re looking to start keyword research for your website or blog post. This tool alone produces keywords using the Google Suggest and other suggestions tools. It’s helped me create some ideas for blog posts as well if I’m having trouble trying to figure out something to write about. Using it along with the Google Adwords keyword tool together can help you quickly remove the scrap keywords and find ones that could be successful for your website.

Tools.seobook.com – has a whole grouping of tools available for use in their free format. From a keyword density analyzer, to a keyword typo generator that shows the most common misspellings of the keyword you’re interested in, this site has a nice collection of free seo tools available for use.

Link Building Strategy Guide by Point Blank SEO – Looking for ideas on how to backlink? This guide is one of the best and most comprehensive lists that I’ve seen on how to plan for backlinking on your website.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider – an excellent spider tool that’s available for free and can be used to diagnose site issues, meta issues, and more. I use it every day on multiple sites to go through and critique some things that I’m specifically looking for.

Smallseotools.com – another good site built around simple tools to offer you information for free. I’ve used it for the plagiarism check and keyword diagnosis tool. Overall, similar to the SEObook suggestion, but I use both at different times for sites that need different information.

So there’s a few of the simple and free SEO tools that I use to get started with diagnosing a site and improving the SEO value of it. Overall, some of them are fairly self-explanatory, and there’s a few more that should be on there, but that’s a great base to get started if you’re new to the game!

New SEO Product Alert: Screaming Frog SEO Spider

I figured I’d throw this out there for anyone looking for a new bot to use on their site to get information and to check to see if everything is working properly when accurately scrubbed via a robot/spider. A new product has recently come out that’s both free(one I use) and paid. I believe the free version scans up to 500 pages, and if you’re working with a smaller site it’s an ideal product.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider

Since this blog is all about seo, I figured I would be doing my part by giving a pretty new product a chance to be seen by more people that may not have even been looking for it. Here’s a little information on the product described directly from the landing page of their website;

The Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a small desktop program you can install on your PC or Mac which spiders websites’ links, images, CSS, script and apps from an SEO perspective. It fetches key onsite page elements for SEO, presents them in tabs by type and allows you to filter for common SEO issues, or slice and dice the data how you see fit by exporting into Excel. You can view, analyse and filter the crawl data as it’s gathered and updated continuously in the program’s user interface.

The Screaming Frog SEO Spider allows you to quickly analyse, audit and review a site from an onsite SEO perspective. It’s particularly good for analyzing medium to large sites where manually checking every page would be extremely labor intensive (or impossible!) and where you can easily miss a redirect, meta refresh or duplicate page issue.

All in all, it may just come down to preference but so far it’s a tool that I’ve used enough that has made me actually want to use it more and really work with it to see it’s true potential. I just figured I’d throw it out there and see if anyone has used it, or maybe give it a try and let me know what they think.
