According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a tool is “something (as an instrument or apparatus) used in performing an operation or necessary in the practice of a vocation or profession” OR “an element of a computer program (as a graphics application) that activates and controls a particular function”. What we are going to share with you falls on the second category. I wouldn’t say it’s hard to find tools out there, but what really consumes time, money and energy is finding the RIGHT ones.
Let’s face it: Word’s clip is NOT a tool. Or it is, in a more colloquial sense… if you catch my drift…
And, the best thing: it’s free. You can always donate cash to the developers of these tools and take a nice look at their sites. If you want to thank me for compiling these, hey… cookies are always a nice treat. And don’t forget to check our products and services.
This one is going to be your best friend for years to come. If you need reports about traffic, content and statistics, Google Analytics is the one tool that will make your life easier.
2. WordTracker Labs Keyword Question
Keyword Question is a tool that will help you know what people’s been asking about a certain keyword. It will help you create contents that answer questions.
I hope you’re not afraid of spiders, because this one’s the mommy of all freeware spiders. It’s useful to detect broken links, re-directions and loopholes of all sorts. A gentle beast for free.

This tool is amazingly useful for quick reports and for newbies who want to start their SEO campaigns on their own. It gives you a surprisingly detailed report of things to work on. Good for 23 skidoo reports.
When it comes to freeware, I am a fiend for it. If I can find a freeware tool that does the same as an analog commercial application, I’m sold. This one has amazing features to analyze browser/server communications and make them better.
This one will save you tons of time, giving you simultaneous rankings and tables for several pages. There. Anything else you need to know?
A tool to analyze keyword density and prominence not only on the contents but also within the tags and titles.

An oldie but goodie. This one is still pertinent and FREE. This one will take you places (and believe me, higher rankings are places you want your sites to be).
10. ilikesem.com Free Report Tool
We don’t want to blow our own horn here, but I reallylike this one. It gives you a rather complete report of the assets and drawbacks of your site. The best thing? As soon as you get this report, WE CAN HELP YOU OUT!
