SEO TOOLS

When I first started to deal with SEO not many tools were available in the market.
Actually back in the “old days” most of the websites owners did not predict what the search engines, and mostly Google, are about to bring to the world. In a way, you felt in the air that something is about to be changed.

As soon as webmasters realized the power of been ranked high at search engine a big struggle started. We are still in the middle of it: A struggle that probably will never end: The webmasters who would like their website to be ranked high and will do almost anything to achieve a good position in a SERP (Search engine results page), while on the other side there are the search engines who try to deliver the most accurate results to the end user.

So… back then we tried to do what so called “reverse engineering”. We tried to figure out why a website is been ranked high while others are not. Sound simple? well indeed in the “old days” it wasn’t hard mission to accomplished. You had to find the right parameters that a search engine is “inspecting” and then to act accordingly.

You will be surprised, but this days the process is pretty mush the same, but with huge different: Back then you had to face with only few parameters. This days there are hundreds and even thousands of parameters that are been taken into consideration at the top 3 search engines (Google, Yahoo & MSN).

It become very hard to track about all the parameters. Very quickly some “SEO software” started to pop up in the market, promising you their way to be ranked #1.

Although I truly believe in SEO, and also believe that most of the websites can be ranked high as much as its owners want it to be ranked, but don’t get wrong on this: No kind of a software can guarantee to be ranked at #1.

All the SEO software that you will find in the market are just a tool to make your SEO work easier to handle. You will find that there are some procedures that you will want to run on a daily basis. For those kind of task those software are great. They simplify your work and allow you to achieve your goal in a reasonable effort during the day.

Remember, Although some of them are pretty sophisticated tools, yet, they are just tools. You need to learn how to handle them right and what to actually do with them.

Later on I will tell more about the SEO tools that I am using and how they will help me to promote this website.
