Thanks, that's a helpful list!

Bob Mutch has a helpful list at:
http://www.seocompany.ca/tool/seo-tools.html

There's also a helpful website metrics tool at:
http://inlock.com/

Also, Aaron Wall just did a very comprehensive review of keywords tools on his site:
http://www.seobook.com

[minstrel]

Well done. I think many people are aware of a lot of those but having them compiled in a "tools" list is helpful.

[Interlogic]

This page is added to my favourites list now, Thanks!!

[Discreet]

Tools:

This tool crawls your page and tells you about a bunch of on-the-page factors that you should fix to get better rankings (i.e. filesizes of images, loading time, etc). I use it to benchmark alot of my sites.

Website Optimizer: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/

Newsletter:

A newsletter published by the good people over at Developers Shed (www.devshed.com). They started this newsletter about 3 weeks ago, has some good content and information in it:

1. Reporting Spam to Google -http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html

HA HA HA!

[clay15]

That's a great list. I've added it to my favorites as well.

[phoenixcarpet]

Thanks for the great responses from all. Add rating to this thread if you like it so it stays at the top and others can see it later on.

I wasn't aware that thread ratings worked that way.

[phoenixcarpet]

Neither was I, but it sounded good when I was wrtiting it at the time! LOL

Sorry, used to a couple of the other seo forums.

[Bazkaz]

Nice list Phoenix. I know I have a lot of those sites in my favorites, but I always seem to find a few more when people post lists like these.

[phoenixcarpet]

Well thanks to who ever put through the ranking. lol

I could do it myself but it is more fun when one of you all do it.

[seodelhi]

Awesome!

Many thanks.

[boohlick]

Nice one bro!!! thats a lot of help especilly for those who just starting their SEO

[Canadianbacon]

wow some great resources for sure

cheers

[bobmutch]

Phoenixcarpet: Very nice resource. I just finished having my programmer mySQL my list at www.seocompany.ca/tool/seo-tools.html. Now adding tools is so so easy.

I am also spliting each category out into a seperate page (yes I am leaving them all on one page also). That means the tool awards section (tool of the month, best tool of the year, most improved tool) will be giving a link to each winner on 20 pages now.

I have not worked on this page for about 6 months while I was building up other lists and working on my directory submissions business. But now with it all automated you should expect to see lots more tools being reviewed and added up.

I added the 100th tool today.

[minstrel]

bobmutch, your assignment, should you choose to accept it.

This is mission critical and includes two parts:

1. You are to try to learn to use the "quote" feature in bbcode

2. You are to learn how to construct a post without slapping in at least one self-promoting link to your website somewhere in that post

This message will self-destruct in 10 seconds.

[T0PS3O]

Nice list, but half of them I don't see the SEO value. Like this one.

An objective list also wouldn't have aff ID's in it IMO.

Bitching aside, thanks for sharing.

minstrel: "You are to try to learn to use the "quote" feature in bbcode"
I perfer to do my quotes this way.

"You are to learn how to construct a post without slapping in at least one self-promoting link to your website somewhere in that post"
I notice you have 4 self promotional links in your post and keyword rich anchor text at that. Pull your self promotion and I will stop dropping self promotion links to as they don't matter to me. Other wise stop complaining about things you are doing yourself.
