10 Free SEO Tools Part 10

well all good things must come to an end and this is no exception.
here is part 10 of the 10Free SEO Tools.

Tool #10 - Google Analytics
Where? http://www.google.com/analytics
What?
This is an alternative to StatCounter, as it provides similar information about your
website visitors. However, it presents the information in a different way, so you may find it
useful to use both StatCounter and Google Analytics.

Why?
As well as finding out where your visitors come from, how they found your website,
how many pages they visited and how long they spent on your website, you can also view
the data in a variety of different formats.
How? Register with Google Analytics and generate a snippet of javascript code. Follow the
instructions to Install this code on all the pages of your website and then login to Google
Analytics to view your site statistics.

Tool #9Statcounter
Where? http://www.statcounter.com
What?
Statcounter allows you to see how many visitors and hits you have received to your
website, the keywords that your visitors searched on, the pages that they visited, the
browsers they use, the countries and towns they live in, the pages that they entered and
exited your site on and how long they stayed on your site.

Why? It is useful to see the keywords that your visitors use to find your site and the search
engines that they came from as this can help you to refine your optimization. It is also
valuable to understand more about your visitors, the countries they come from, the
browsers and computers that they use and what pages they visited while on your website.
How?
Register with statcounter and follow the instructions to generate a small piece of
javascript code. Place this code on all the pages of your website so that statcounter can
track all your visitors. You can then login to statcounter at any time to view your statistics.

10 Free SEO Tools Part 4

hey y'all. it's me again with part 4 of the 10 Free SEO Tools.

Tool #4 - Social Marker Bookmarking Tool
Where? http://www.socialmarker.com

What? This tool allows you to bookmark your website in multiple bookmarking websites
with one click of a button.
Why? Many people search for pages on the web using bookmarking websites rather than
search engines. The more people that bookmark a web page, the higher that web page will
appear on the bookmarking website. Some social bookmarking websites will also give you a
backlink which will help to improve your search engine rank.
How? First you will need to register individually with all the social bookmarking sites listed
on the Social Marker site. This will probably take you around 1-2 hours, but you only need to
do this one time. Every time you create a new page on your website, write a blog post, or
find a page on the web that you find interesting you can bookmark that page in all of the
bookmarking websites by visiting Social Marker.
A similar alternative free bookmarking website is http://www.onlywire.com – this is quicker
to use but contains around 20 bookmarking websites compared to Social Marker’s 48
bookmarking sites.
