There aren't many tools that I keep going back to. Digital Point's tools obviously keep me coming back for more. I've noticed a few of you have tools out there too that you developed. What are some of your favorite tools? (Please provide links). Mine: SEO: Keyword Tracker Keyword Suggestion web development: Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox Ultraedit I'll add to my list later, but these are my favorites. I also use Dreamweaver quite a bit, apache, php, qmail, spamassassin, daemontools, perl, cvs, and tinydns.
Digital Points are #1 by far but I also use this free link checker: www.clicksentry.com and also: www.googlerankings.com when I need to find postition over 200 or just one keyword
I don't know where you guys have been, hehehe, but there are some very good tools by McDar [a member here and also in the tools above]: http://www.mcdar.net/dance/index.php http://www.mcdar.net/KeywordTool/keywordtool.asp http://www.mcdar.net/Q-Check/datatool.asp
Hey, Just found this tool – it’s by a member of this forum (Pen Tongue). It’s excellent. It’s a free invoicing and timesheet service. http://www.2ndsite.biz Great forum by the way!
See, if I listed ALL the tools I use, no one else would be able to post. I figured I would save the obvious ones for others
Here's another one I just found, but has already proven very effective: http://www.jedisthlm.com/index.php?p=29 It's a win32 wrapper for this program: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/apps/pngquant.html Basically, it shrinks png files. I had one that went from 250K to 20K! Using this, and a little css, you can use quality transparency masks on your images.
I don't like Googlerankings very much, or at least I tend to prefer prsearch. But googlemonitor is fun, isn't it?
I use McDar's keyword tool daily and I was very depressed when it was off line. Shawn's keyword tracker gets daily use as well. Of course I use our link manager mentioned by yfs1 above as well.
The w3.org link checker: http://validator.w3.org/checklink HTML validator at w3: http://validator.w3.org/ CSS validator at w3: http://www.w3.org/QA/2003/08/css-validator/validator.html.en
Changes daily, but for SEO tools.. #3 : http://www.webceo.com/ #2 : http://www.searchengineengine.com/ and #1 http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/pagerank-lookup/
I used to use also, on a daily basis g-metrics.com but now the returned number of indexed pages with the API is 0 or 3... No more the full 300 count... :/
