Here is the list of the most useful SEO-tools you might be willing to use, developing and optimizing your next web-site.
1. We Build Web Pages: This tool allows you to compare your site against the top 10 listed sites in Google for a particular keyword or phrase. You simply enter your keyword and the system will begin comparing 9 different metrics for the top 10 rankings. This allows you to quickly compare the Yahoo rank, MSN rank, Google pages indexed, altavista pages indexed, backlinks to page, backlinks to domain, all in anchor rank, age of url, and whether or not the phrase is on the page.

2. Zippy: Zippy is a new meta search engine that queries other major engines and returns results in a format most suited for Webmasters and SEOs. The site was launched in September by the seasoned SEO Dave Naylor, and provides some valuable tools for site optimization.
3.URL Trends: UrlTrends allows you to see at a glance any of the information that you want to see about all of the selected urls. Whether you only want to see the PageRank of the Urls, or everything they monitor, you can now do so very easily.
4.NUAH: Super cool site. Crawls your entire site, see how many pages you have, their respective PageRanks, keywords and descriptions. Also has good sitemap generators for both Yahoo! and Google.
* Google Sitemap Generator: Create a valid Google Sitemap with no programming experience needed. Why should you install and configure a confusing python script when you can have Nuah.com to crawl your website and build a valid sitemap.gz file?
* Google PageRank Crawler: Easily get a big picture view of your Google PageRank for your entire website.
* Yahoo Sitemap Generator: Create a valid Yahoo Sitemap with no programming experience needed.
* Link Check Crawler: Let's face it links can expire, because invalid/expired links can effect both your search engine position and reputation we recommend you validate the integrity of your links with our Free Link Validation Tool.
5.Widexl: I love this tool. I mostly use the Meta Tag Analyzer and the Link Popularity tools but each of their tools is powerful and useful. Widexl is a web developers best friend. They offer the following free hosted tools to assist in SEO:
* Link Popularity - How popular are you on the internet?
* Search Engine Saturation How many pages do you have indexed?
* Meta Tag Analyzer - Analyze the Meta Tags from your website

6. Ezer: Need to check your Page Rank across all the data centers? This is a very handy tool. You can even get an idea of whe they are about to update PR with this tool.
7.Firefox SEO extension: When Aaron Wall of SEOBook says something is cool, we take note. I have been using this very cool SEO extension for Firefox (my favorite browser) for quite some time now and love it. I can click on the tool to display meta tags for any site I visit without having to switch to code view and scroll all over creation for them. It does much more than just that but that is one of my favorite features.

Online Money Making Tools - Free Keyword Tool
A keyword tool is, in other words, the way to tell how your potential customers are looking into their need. After all, it takes a need and its satisfaction to bring a salesman and a customer together!
There are some available online money making tools that include a keyword tool, others that sell separately and some keyword tools that are free. Although snubbed by certain people these latter ones can be of huge assistance and if used properly do not have anything to miss compared to the more sophisticated tools that sell for a considerable amount of money. Here are some sources for you to explore:
1)The free wordtracker tool. This tool lets you know how many times a certain term has been searched for in the search engines. You can find valuable information here and if you look closely to the related searches that this tool provide you can see certain trends that potential customers develop when searching to buy. Some disadvantages are the not so accurate search volume that comes up with, not in terms of relevancy but in terms of volume and the fact that it does not provide you with some competition information that other tools give you. Nevertheless, it is really effective especially for people that know to read between the lines!
2)The keyword tool from Google adwords. This is again a fine keyword tool that has the main advantage to provide data straight from the source: Big Google itself! It gives you info on the search volume of keywords, competition lookout and other statistical data. Among the online money making tools that you may encounter this should become a daily habit! It also has a really powerful feature of keyword research that is similar to reverse engineering!
3) The Google trends. While this is not the typical keyword tool it is free and can be used to spot search terms over the period of time. You can learn for instance that the keyword you were thinking to promote declines during the winter and spikes during summer in terms of volume search. So going after it just before summer would give you something to anticipate.

Basically search engine optimization is the most important and vital process of web promotion of any website. without considering a nice optimization it is almost impossible to draw a large volume of traffic towards the website. According to my own points of view " search engine optimization is the process of making website search engine friendly". After a healthy work of optimization a website will be alive otherwise sites will be considered as complete wastes. This means not only waste of website but it is directly related with money, time and lastly but not least that is targeted traffic. Here targeted traffic or unique visitors means those valuable user, who directly affect the sales.
Other steps of search engine marketing is always carried after initial search engine marketing. Search engine marketing strategy, pay per click campaign and paid promotion campaigns, traffic analysis report, ROI reports and positioning analysis report are the other processes of search engine marketing

Why Beginners Can Succeed at Search Engine Optimization
Think about it for a moment.
The aim of all the search engines is to provide fresh, original content to the person looking for it. Once you understand that statement, SEO becomes really easy.
Now you understand what the search engines are looking for, it follows that a web page needs to meet the following criteria to rank well:
- it needs to have original content
- the content needs to be clearly defined
- the page needs to contain high quality content
What this means to you as an internet marketer or publisher is:
- you need to write your own content
- you need to focus key elements of your web page around your keywords
- you need to write quality content that people will value and want to share
How well you need to do the above three elements in order to rank well depends on how competitive your targeted keywords are?
The more competitive your keyword phrase is, the bigger the challenge you'll face to achieve a high ranking for it. If there are only a few sites competing for it, it won't take too much effort to get ranked on the first page of Google. Well targeted, original content will simply do the job.
But, when the competition increases and you start to compete with thousands if not millions of other pages, you'll need more than well focused, original content, you'll need quality as well, and lots and lots of inbound links!
Why? Well lets consider exactly how the search engines measure quality...
It's pretty simple in practice. The search engines count how many sites link to your content. A link coming in to your page from another webmaster's site is seen as a recommendation. Therefore, the more pages you compete with for your chosen keyword phrase, the more inbound links you need for your pages to rank highly.
SEO is that simple! Experts try and over complicate it so they can sell you their products and services.
Simply place your keywords in your page title, page header and a few times in the content of your article, and then get lots of sites to link to your page.
Keywords and Links equal High Rankings!
The main reason that so many would be marketers fail at SEO, is purely because they want to rank highly overnight for competitive keywords! It simply won't happen.
Getting lots of free traffic from the search engines requires lots of time, effort and focus.
Apply all three of those, and you'll succeed at SEO.
