What Are The Best Free Tools To Use For Ranking Websites On The Search Engines

There are many SEO tools being offered everywhere and which are recommended by lots of people of different levels of knowledge, skill, and backgrounds when it comes  to Search Engine Optimization.

But the question really is…

What are the best free tools to use for ranking websites on top of the search engine result pages?

While I have heard of some great tools wherein you need to pay huge amount of money first in order to get them, I am not really a big fan of paid softwares anymore. To be honest,  I once bought a really expensive and highly popular seo tool, only to find myself being more convinced and contented with the abilities of a free tool I found online.

If you will not be careful, you might fall on the same trap I fell into. What I mean by traps are the long and super catchy sales letters you will find around. While a certain percentage written on the content of these letters could be true, unfortunately the bigger percentage of the content written is just there for the mere purpose of convincing you.

So, before giving in to any of the attractive claims and offers mentioned from these highly expensive written sales pitches, open your mind first with the free softwares available for you to use anytime.

Here are some of the best free tools you can use while working to get high ranking for your site on the search engines:

Google’s Adword Keyword Tool

No doubt, this is the best free online software ever created particularly for those who know about SEO and keywords in general. This tool will give you the information you need on any keyword being used by internet searchers. The information you get from this valuable tool can be equivalent to huge profits if you know how to use it.

Google Webmaster Tools

Speaking of softwares that are made exclusively to help SEO professionals. The google webmaster tools website is a collection of free tools that give information about your website’s status like being able to find out what search phrases are being used by visitors to find your website via Google. Another important information you will get is finding out which pages of your site may actually be boken.

Google Analytics

Of course your main goal in achieving top search engine rankings for your websites is to make profits. In order for  you to start making profits through your site, you’ve got to be very familiar with the behavior of visitors coming in and out of your website. While traffic is the primary objective of ranking a site on top of the search engines, it is not the main factor to consider in order to make profits. What your site needs it targeted website traffic. And Google Analytics will help you solve the puzzle in finding out how to get super targeted visitors to your website.

Alexa’s Site Traffic Rank Tool

One of my most favorite tools that I cannot allow to not be installed on my browser is the alexa traffic rank tool. You can install this software on your toolbar so that each time you visit a website, you can immediately get an idea how much traffic that site is getting. It is helpful at keeping updated with the progress of your own website’s traffic ranking.
