Search Engine Optimisation is something that you want to pay attention to as often as possible because it can dramatically increase your profitability. But from a productivity standpoint, it can seem exhausting at times.

Here are three helpful SEO Tools that you can use to monitor and improve your search engine optimisation.

Page Rank Checker

If you want to know where you stand, you can check out: http://prchecker.info to get a rating for any URL. You can also add a browser plug-in at Mozilla FireFox so that you can see the PR of a page when you visit it in your browser. This site also offers a free widget that lets you demonstrate your page rank on your website.

Be aware that if there are Google updates and your site’s page rank is downgraded, your widget will update automatically and it’s not always a good idea to list a PR0 badge on your website.

Keyword Map

http://kwmap.net is a keyword search tool that gives you laterally related topics. If you’re trying to optimise your site, knowing what the web might see as laterally related words can be very helpful.

Entering a main keyword can also help you identify potential sub niches for you. This type of tool can be great for inspiring ideas for website content and article marketing as well.

Keyword Analysis

http://live-keyword-analysis.com/ can help you determine your keyword density for up to 3 keywords from a document. This can be important when you’re trying to hit a certain %. A lot of SEO experts don’t recommend that you simply try to strive for a keyword density but if you’re worried your density is too high and could get a page flagged as spam, this tool can be helpful in that respect as well.

You’ll find a plethora of free SEO tools online as well that are proprietary to certain search engine marketing companies or free to SEO blog subscribers as well. You can find tools that help you generate your robots.txt file, make your site a sitemap, analyse your competitors’ keywords, plus a wide range of other services.
