David Leonhardt from Happy Guy Marketing contacted me last week about the new tool on his website, called The Bookmarketer. It’s pretty sweet. We all know about the power of social bookmarking and are all well aware that one of the most sure-fire ways to get an insane amount of traffic is to get something on the first page of Digg, or the top of Reddit. There are often times when you may have a great idea or tool as David does and the only thing it’s lacking is exposure. Come on… I’ve been there. Trust me, I know the woes of having something to say with no audience. Social Bookmarking can not only bring you an audience, it can bring you an audience the size of Woodstock in your own backyard! David’s tool just makes it easier to reach your potential Woodstock.

Aaron Wall has really outdone himself here… This tool is awesome. The Backlink Analyzer is a desktop program which will grab backlink data from Google/Yahoo/MSN and displays the anchor texts, IP Addresses, Alexa Data, Page Titles, and Number of Links on each page. Very friendly spreadsheet style layout.

You should always know where your site is ranking, or not ranking if you’re one of the unfortunate… Here are a few tools I recommend:
Searching the top 50 SERPS, this tool at SEO Bench will Check for rankings on Google, Yahoo! and MSN at once.

There are many many different Google datacenters, and each of these datacenters have the potential to respond with different results for the same search query. Most times, seeing results that vary from datacenter to data center, means that Google is in the middle of updating their search index. Check out the Multiple Datacenter Rank Check Tool here:

I find it very important to always take a look at your source code from the way spiders see your pages. If there is a ton of javascript or elements that seem to clutter the page, then it’s safe to assume that those pages are harder to crawl for the spiders. In my opinion, proper use of external CSS and JS files is always recommended.
WebConfs.com and SearchWho.com both have great Search Engine Spider tools.

Great Yahoo! Search tool. Even shows number of inbound links and can easily exclude internal links from search. View the most popular pages from any site, dive into a comprehensive site map, and find pages that link to that site or any page. Will even show with or without deep links.
