The launch of DIYSEO.com today, after over a year of development and design, came with much fanfare. They are offering a nice 7 day trial to test dive the system. The videos and screen shots of the system look VERY good so far. The site looks clean and really easy to understand and follow. But the true test will come with actually using the system, which is exactly what I plan to do.

I will be posting my honest review of the service so please check back here or subscribe to my blog via RSS or email.

I know that there are many SEOs that were really scared of this service, that it would take business away from SEO agencies and SEO consultants. The other side of the camp says that this service is a rip off and that it will not hold value for most users. But I do not see it that way. I think that this is a great idea and that the purpose is to help service the small businesses out there that do not have thousands of dollars to spend on SEO, and that literally do not really need to.

But I also feel that no matter how well made the site is and no matter how good the service is, that some people will still need help. I hope to help fill that void. I get a really big kick out of helping small businesses. You can really have a positive impact on someone’s life when working with small businesses. Generating 10% more profits for a Fortune 500 firm is really like a drop in the bucket, but for a small business it can be a game changer.

So I look forward to my journey with this new product and I welcome it to the SEO community. I may change that stance after using it but as for now it looks like and seems like it would be a great solution for a large number of people out there. Not everyone, but there is definitely a market there.

I sphunn across a wonderful new site, well new to me, called SEOname. The site seems to have a blackhat vibe to it but claims that it does not promote blackhat techniques but that it provides awareness in hopes that the exploits will someday be patched. But back to the tools! My favorite is the “Rank” tab which contains a bucket of tools that include a Fake PageRank Checker, Alexa Rank Checker, Google PageRank Checker, Ranking Checker, Multi-Site Google PR/Alexa Rank Checker, and more. Wow, and that is only from one of the tabs on their site. They also have a slew of tools under Header/Tag Tools, Keyword Tools, Link Tools, and Source Code tools.

I want to also give SEOname some props on their development skills. I like their text resizing and fluid width buttons, along with their RSS button, at the top right of the site. It shows some great functionality.

And you gotta love their statement on CSS and 2.0 design at the bottom of their site!

This tool lets you search millions of Flickr photos and add them to your Wordpress posts with just 1 click and without having to leave your blog. The plugin puts itself right into your write post page and uses a search box to find relevant photos, allowing you to add them to your post in small, medium, or large format with one click! Everyone knows that providing images really makes your posts more interesting.

I almost forgot the mention the best part, attribution links are automatically added underneath the images to comply with the Creative Commons license rules! Gotta love tools that keep you protected legally.

But and even easier way to use this wonderful add on is to utilize the right click feature. This allows you to right click on any link and gives you the option to create a tiny url for the link or for the page.

This is great and yet another shining example of why Firefox is hands down the best browser to use, especially for professional search marketers! With all of the SEO, Web development, and other functional add ons and plugins you cannot go wrong. So if you want to save yourself a ton of time use Firefox, and keep an eye out for my Firefox Tools series on my favorite add ons and plugins for Firefox!

An organic seo consultant is the real solution provider. Your e-business can boost up day to day if you opt for internet marketing through link exchange. In this way you go into pay per click advertising. Your access to adsense marketing opens new vistas for you. For general information you can consult Internet marketing guide online.

They also offer other services like custom headers, banners, e-covers, character design, corporate ID design, and logo animation! All of these services are at a very reasonable price for the quality of work. And for those of you that are saying to yourselves, “ah, those designs are not that great,” keep in mind that the designers have to do what the clients want and also keep in mind that for the price, the quality is excellent. If you want to go hire a professional and pay upwards of $500-$2000+ then Logo Samurai may not be for you. But if you are like the masses and need a cool design and do not have $2000 to throw around then Logo Samurai IS for you! Thank you Logo Samurai!

Computers are a combination of hardware and software. Microsoft started building computer software. Some websites give their visitors the option to download software sometimes. Many websites offer online personal finance software. While surfing the internet you can collect software information. Software is equipped with software tools which enhance the application of the software.

OK back to the nitty gritty. This amazing tool scrapes the search results and notes the rankings for sites. So you can type in a URL and find out all of the terms that a site is ranking for in the top 20 results. Tip: signing up for a full account allows you to do a full search for domain name, meaning that it will search for rankings on internal pages as well! Signing up is easy and free. You can search the US version of Google, the Russian version of Google, and the US version of MSN. I think that there is some weird thing with Yahoo! that does not allow anyone to scrape their data. SEO Digger has a database that consists of 44 million unique keywords and keyphrases! They also allow you to export the info to excel giving you the flexibility to slice and dice your data any way that you want.

The site also shows you Overture and Wordtracker keyword counts, although I find these numbers to be way off, they are good to have to just get an idea of what terms are more popular than others. Any keyword analysis tools that one uses need to be taken with a grain of salt because the numbers are not really close to being accurate, ever. We use keyword analysis tools to give us a better idea of what terms are being used for search and then which terms might be more popular for search than others. One should not ever try to use keyword analysis tools to predict traffic, revenue, etc. But I will cover keyword analysis in another post. The fact that this site combines both keyword rankings and keyword analysis is unprecedented.

Unfortunately they are only able to update the database every two weeks so the data is not perfect every time. But it does give you a really good idea of your rankings and keywords. Many people have no idea what their site is actually ranking for. The only way to tell before this was to look at analytics data and guess, but those are not very solid ways of going about it!

This tool is great for SEO sales people because it allows you to view the strength, keywords, and rankings of any site very quickly. This tool is also good for analyzing potential sites to buy links on. If the site that you want a link from has a PR of 5 but is not ranking for any of its terms then it is a bad site to get a link from. Remember that rankings and traffic are better than PageRank!
