What are search engine optimization tools, webmaster tools, Google page rank checker, SEO tools, and how can these internet tools help to bring more quality traffic to your Blog? There are many free online web tools that webmasters can use to find out more information about their sites. The tools can also alert the webmasters to possible problems search engines may have with the site's template codes and design. Here, we shall, for the benefit of our new bloggers, explain how these webmaster tools might help improve your website's PageRank.

We define Search Engine Optimization as – a method or process of improving and optimizing the ranking of a website in search engine results.

With millions of pages of search results for any given keyword, webmasters would want to have their website appear among the first couple of search result listings. The higher the position or ranking, the greater the likelihood that internet users will visit your site. This Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) concept is no different from a brick-and-mortar shop where location and visibility affect how many customers will pass by the shop and hopefully drop in for a visit. On the internet, your virtual site deserves a good location and visibility, and SEO consultants believe they know how to achieve that.

Blog Directory and Search Engine Listings

After having published a Blog or website, the first thing to do is to make sure that the information relating to the site is available on the internet. Web Directories, Blog Directories and Search Engines are the internet Yellow Pages. Although the major Search Engines will crawl your website even without any action on your part, it will be much faster if you could proactively provide them your site information. We had written articles on how and where to submit the blog information so as to have your site fully indexed and appear in many places on the internet.

Free SEO Tools

After you have submitted your website's data to all the search engines and directories, you should be able to find your site somewhere on the internet. If you do a keyword search on your website's topic, you may find many other listings in the search results ahead of yours. These are the sites which have better page ranks and are optimized for the search engines. You can optimize your blog or website too.

To attract business, many SEO sites have put up some of their SEO tools for free. Commercial sites which are serious in wanting to climb up the search ranking will pay the SEO consultants for more value-added services. If you are like us, blogging out of fun and passion, it might be better to use only the free services for a start.

Search Engine Optimization
Of course, once you’re up, people have to know you’re there. One of the
most important ways to do that is get yourself a high-ranking in a search
engine.
There are lots of different search engines, but only three are really
important: Google, Yahoo! and MSN. In Chapter 21, I’ll talk in more detail
about improving your search engine rankings.
If you want to take a shortcut, there are plenty of companies which will make
the submissions for you and they’ll even optimize your site to get you as high
on the rankings as possible.

Links
Your search engine ranking will depend on a number of factors. One of those
factors is the number of sites that link to yours. As far as Google is
concerned if lots of sites about model railways link to your model railway
site, it must be a pretty good sign that people who like model railways think
your site is good. So they’ll want to offer it to people who search for model
railways, bringing you lots of free traffic.
Once you’ve got your site up and running you’ll want to persuade other sites
to give you links. You could offer to exchange links and you can even set up
a page that contains recommended links so that you’ll have somewhere to
put them.

SEO Elite
SEO Elite is a really excellent tool for learning from your most successful
competitors. You can discover the optimum number of times to repeat keywords, where you should put them, whether or not to use h1 and h2 tags and even your competitors’ link strategies, and a huge amount more.In short, you can find out exactly how your competitors have got to the top of the search engines, learn what they did — and do the exact same thing to swipe their spot.You can learn more about SEO Elite and pick up yourcopy from www.seoelite.com

There are a number of tools that I recommend to help with search engine
optimization. The first is the Google Toolbar, which will let you keep track of
your page ranking. You can download it for free at



The Alexa toolbar is also useful and will show you how your site ranks
against others. You can download the Alexa toolbar at

Probably the most important method though is to get a high ranking on search engines. That’s free traffic.

Again, there are all sorts of books and experts who can help you improve your SEO and win a top spot for a site. I have had experience with a number
of strategies that could help you improve your ranking. I’d like to share
them with you now.

Robot.txtThe first thing you need to know about indexing your site at search engines
is that you control which pages are indexed and which are excluded. You do
that with a file called robots.txt.
Robots.txt contains nothing more than a record of which robots should index
which pages.
Without going into too much detail, there are two conventions used in a
robots.txt file:
User-agent: [Defines which robots the site is addressing.]
Disallow: [Allows you to list the sites or robots you want to
exclude.]
In general, you’re probably going to use “User-agent: *” to make sure that
you’re addressing the robots of every search engine and you’ll probably want
include all of your pages (although you might want to exclude your
directories: “Disallow: /cgi-bin/”).
Robots.txt just allows you to control which robots index which pages. It’s
important to have in your directory but it won’t really increase your search
engine rankings.Titles, URL’s and links are much more important.

Titles And URLs
The first thing you need to know about indexing your site at search engines
is that you control which pages are indexed and which are excluded. You do
that with a file called robots.txt.
Robots.txt contains nothing more than a record of which robots should index
which pages.
Without going into too much detail, there are two conventions used in a
robots.txt file:
User-agent: [Defines which robots the site is addressing.]
Disallow: [Allows you to list the sites or robots you want to
exclude.]
In general, you’re probably going to use “User-agent: *” to make sure that
you’re addressing the robots of every search engine and you’ll probably want
include all of your pages (although you might want to exclude your
directories: “Disallow: /cgi-bin/”).
Robots.txt just allows you to control which robots index which pages. It’s
important to have in your directory but it won’t really increase your search
engine rankings.
Titles, URL’s and links are much more important.

Links
The more links you have, the better. And the better the sites that list those
links the more they’ll be worth. It is always worth aiming to put your links on
sites that look good and have high rankings. In fact, being listed on a poor
site can bring your ranking down.
One of the best places to place links to improve your search engine
rankings is on forums. This isn’t an exchange; you post your links on their
site, they don’t post their links on yours.
Make sure you browse forums regularly, add comments and include your URL
in your signature. You’re likely to get the best results on good forums related
to your topic but don’t be fussy. Even unrelated forums can help to improve
your search engine ranking.
Google’s spiders love forums and review them every week. And because
these sites tend have quite high ranking, those posts will do wonders for your
listings.
Of course, you shouldn’t ignore the SEO forums themselves for some good
tips. www.searchengineforums.com is one good place to browse and
http://forums.seochat.com is another. You should also check out my own
forum www.AdSenseChat.com. Although this is mostly about AdSense
optimization, not surprisingly, SEO issues are discussed often, especially as
they relate to AdSense. It’s a great source to dig up new ideas.

And if you’re going to putting your links all over the forums, why not
do the same thing for blogs?
You can think of blogs as places to read someone’s writings if you like, but
don’t forget they also let you add your own feedback. That means that as an
AdSense publisher, you should also be thinking of them as free places to post
your links. Again, any blog is good but top blogs on your topic are probably
the best.The easiest way to put your links across the Web though is to do a link
exchange. If you’ve got friends who have websites, start there. That’s
very easy.





Create Gateways
Usually, your links will lead directly to your home page. That’s where you see
your site as starting and that’s where you want them to enter.
But if the content the user wants to see is on one of the internal pages,
there’s no reason for them to have to click around to find it. Fill that page
with keywords that relate to the content on that page and it will have its own
search engine ranking — and well-targeted ads.
Thus, if you have a site about cats and one of your pages was about cat
food, it would make sense to put plenty of cat food keywords on the page.
That would get you cat food ads and a high ranking on search engines when
someone does a search for “cat food” rather than just people who wanted toknow about “cats.”
