SEO Tools/Products: How to choose?

JillO asked 3 years ago
I’ve taken on a side project and need some help in the SEO department on my own. I’m familiar with SEOmoz and Raven’s Tools- they’re both actually really great. I just want to make sure that I’m not missing any must-have SEO products/tools.

Is there anything out there that I absolutely should be working with?

An interesting discussion on the use of keywords and metatags.

I took a look at the SEOmoz site and read their free “Beginner’s Guide to SEO”.
They cover the keywords meta tag issue.

I knew most of it already, but their explanation of how the ‘description’ isn’t used in rankings was quite revealing.
( It is valuable to you because the end user will see it in your listing in google)
(I think I got that right anyway)

Too bad they did not respond immediately to my affiliate signup form.
It asked for my contact info but not my website – then they replied ‘they’ll review my application?
(what are they going to do – search the web for my name and then WOW me what they found out?)

You definitely want to look into Majestic SEO as links are still King in SEO. It’s one of the best tools out there to track link building and analyze competitors.

Upon everyones (good) advice I went to Majestic SEO

Majestic SEO == COOL
It is indeed slick.

Got good news for one of my sites with the ‘Backlink History’ even with the free registration. Then I got bad news for another site, and then a disturbing trend for another site. I haven’t done much more exploring, watching or reading yet on their site yet – but I definitely will.

I then went to “market samurai”.
I love the “SEO Competition Analysis”, I wish had seen this before I created my sites.

Coincidentally, when I clicked on a ‘detail’ tab I was brought back to Majestic SEO.
Other detail tabs brings you domaintools, quantcast and alexa.
That site seems to ‘bring all the pieces’ together.
The videos are great and the 40 day trial is FREE.

I am also interested in hearing what anyone has to say about ‘SE Nuke’.
I’ve seen the ads and heard good & bad.
