Seo Tools a Good Idea?

There are a number of different types of seo tools. Some seo tools are used for keyword research, competitor analysis, link building, content generation, checking pagerank, checking to make sure your code is good and lots of other things. I classify seo tools in two different categories.

There are on-page seo tools and off-page seo tools. Most of the top seo blogs and websites offer the use of on-page seo tools. They check your site to see how it is being crawled by the search engine spiders and things like that. Those of you who have been reading this blog will know that I attribute seo success mostly to off-page seo factors like link building and network building.

I think on-page seo factors account for about %15 of your success or failure. I maintain that on-page seo is not critical to your rankings. Link building (correct link building that is) is where the bulk of your seo campaign should be directed. In that regard link building tools are great for seo. I have no use for the other on-page tools.

Some good seo tools for building links are:

1. Social bookmarking software
2. Article submission software
3. Directory submission software
4. Blog commenting software
5. Rss Submission software
6. Blog creation software
