admin — Wed, 09 May 2007 08:38:24 +0000

Virante have released a web-based, free SEO Tool that shows a graphical representation of inter-linking between the top 50 domains for any given keyword search. From their website:

“The diagram shows three concentric circles. The center shows sites ranking from 1-12 for your keyword. The second shows 13-24, and third shows 25-36. The size of the “blips” for each website is dependent upon the number of inbound links from other sites in the top 36. The colors of the lines indicate which direction the link is pointing. If the line is the same color as the blip, it is an inbound link. If it is a different color, it is an outbound link.”

Google monitor is a downloadable, free SEO Tool for position monitoring, or rank monitoring. The tool prompts you for a domain, and then set of keywords, and when you hit search, it returns the rank position of your domain for each keyword (matching any page in your domain). On subsequent searches, the tool will retain your best performance for each keyword, update your current rank/position, and tell you the change in rank/position since your last search.

SEO Book’s Keyword Suggestion Tool

Aaron Wall’s web-based, free SEO Tool, called the SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool provides search volume estimates for a keyword of your choice, and for a selection of keyword suggestions. This data is drawn directly from Overture, and thus inherits the inaccuracies outlined in our review of Overture’s Keyword Selection Tool. Further, this data is then used to estimate Google and MSN traffic, simply doubling the Overture figure for Google, and halving it for MSN. As Aaron points out, the inaccuracies in Overture’s data are thus amplified, and the estimates of double and half are obviously not exact, and will vary between countries. For example, Google in the UK has a 77% market share as of March 2007.

However, Aaron conveniently provides quicklinks to assess each keyword suggestion in a variety of other Keyword Search Volume tools, including WordTracker, Keyword Discovery, Google Trends, and Google Adword Traffic Estimator. In short, all figures are to be taken with a pinch of salt, but it’s a great hub from which to direct your free keyword search volume research.

Lastly, SEO Book offers links to a number of further research tools refered to as ‘vertical databases’, that include Google Blog Search, Del.icio.us, and topix.net, and should give you an idea of the extent to which your keyword or phrase is or is not a popular topic of discussion across the web.
