How to Get Your Web Site on the Search Engines:
38 Webmaster Tools You MUST Have - ALL FREE!!!!

     One of the first things you want to do when creating a web page is to keep in mind what key words will bring someone to that page if they were searching for it in a search engine such as Yahoo or Google.

     You cannot just submit a site once and then forget it. It is something that should be done monthly - so put it on your calendar!

     Every page must have its own unique set of keywords - words which appear frequently enough in the body of the page to catch the search engine's attention.

     The keywords appear in what is called a "metatag that will be one of many and will like this near the top of your page's HTML code:

<meta name="keywords" content="Free, Web, Graphics, Backgrounds, wallpaper, gif, jpg">

     Some companies (such as Sitemeter.Sitetoolbox.com to name just one) charge as much as $1,000 a year for the FREE tools we are providing you here. One word of caution: Check any download for adware or spyware, since we make no warranty as to someone else's software. Most of these services are online services so there is no risk of downloading malicious software.

     With that said, here are some useful tips and free resources from the Webmaster Toolkit: (NOTE: External links such as these may or may not be working, since we have no control over other people's websites)

     This Keyword Analyzer will read the page you specify and give a report on what words are used, and how many times they are used. If you find there are useless keywords appearing frequently, you should consider re-writing your copy and making it more keyword-rich. Optimum keyword density for targeting the majority of search engines is considered to be between 3% and 9%. Just type in the page's URL.

     The Keyword Research Tool will help you research appropriate words and phrases to include in your web page's body text to aid in promotion. Simply enter the sort of word of phrase you wish to be found under, and the tool will suggest some additional words and phrases you can think about using. Just type in the keyword or phrase you're searching, then select a search engine.
     This checks AltaVista, Excite, Google, Yahoo, HotBot, MSN, All The Web and Teoma search engines. NOTE: Some suggestions may not be 100% relevant.

     The Search Engine Position Checker tool will automatically query the search engines you specify and check if your URL appears in the first 50 results for your chosen keywords. If the URL is present, it will output what position it occupies. As an additional feature, the tool also informs you if any other URLs from your domain appear in the search results. The tool queries the following engines: Altavista, Excite, Google, Yahoo, HotBot, MSN, WiseNut, All the Web, and Teoma. Just type in the URL and keywords.

     The Link Popularity Checker tells you how many websites are linking to yours. Website popularity is an important factor in your search engine ranking. The more popular your site is, the better it will be ranked on the search engines.
     To find out how popular your site is, just enter your URL in the box below and press the "Check Popularity" button.
     You should try different methods of inputting your URL, as some search engines treat them differently. For example, these different methods will probably produce slightly different results.

www.yourdomain.com
http://www.yourdomain.com
yourdomain.com

     You can include /page.htm to any search to find links to specific pages or /directory to test links to pages in a specific directory.

     This Search Engine Spider Simulator strips out the HTML tags from the page you specify and shows you how the page would look to search engine spiders.

     This Web Page Analyzer will read the page you specify, and put it through a few basic tests to see if qualifies as 'search-engine-friendly' for the phrase you specify. It then gives a report on the good, and the bad points of the page in SEO terms.

     The Top PPC Bids Checker allows you to query a number of PPC (Pay Per Click) engines to see what the top bids are for a certain keyword or phrase. This is useful if you are paying for keywords on search engines.
     Simply input the keyword or phrase you wish to target, then click the "Check Bids" button. The tool will then query the engines and bring back the top bid from each one of them.

     The mod_rewrite RewriteRule Generator will take a dynamic url given to it, and generate the correct syntax to place in a .htaccess file to allow the url to be rewritten in a spiderable format. The apache module mod_rewrite converts urls in a certain format to another format, and can be very useful in helping a site with dynamic content to be indexed. For more information on mod_rewrite, visit the apache documentation site.

     The Link Appeal Tool will calculate the desirability rating of having a link on the url you specify. This calculation includes factors such as PageRank, number of outbound links and the overall percentage of links to html. It is intended as a guideline for evaluating whether you should ask for a link on a certain page or not.

     This Class C Checker will allow you to check if 2 domains are hosted on the same Class C IP range. What's the use of that? Links from sites that are not on the same class C IP range as your site are thought to give more weight.
