almost done. hey guys here is part 8 of the 10 Free SEO Tools i promised.
Tool #8 - Google Webmaster Tools
Where? http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools
What? This tool allows you to find the top Google search queries for your website, see
errors found by Googlebot, find issues with your website content (e.g. missing tags), submit
a sitemap, find out how many backlinks you have, remove content from the Google index
and generate a robots.txt file.
Why? Submitting a sitemap will help to ensure that Google crawls your entire website. The
diagnostics will alert you to any errors or broken links on your website and the top search
query information can help you to refine your website optimization.
How? Create an account and then add your websites to the account. You will then need to
verify that you are the owner of each of the websites that you added. You can do this by
following the instructions to upload a text file to your website or by adding a meta tag to
your home page.

Ahrefs
ReplyDeleteWhile we’re on the topic of SEO, I wanted to mention Ahrefs. Ahrefs is a tool that allows you to do keyword research to ensure you’re targeting the best keywords with the highest traffic and lowest difficulty to rank for.
While this tool isn’t free or cheap, they do offer a free two-week trial. Alternatively, you can use their competitors like Moz or SEMrush (who also have free trials, hint hint). Whichever one you choose, if you’re serious about ranking on Google, I highly recommend a keyword research tool. Without them, you only have access to Google Keyword Planner, which doesn’t really help you find the right keywords.
