Useful SEO Tools and Links from Chicago SES 2008
I attended the Search Engine Strategies Conference in Chicago last December, although cold it was a very enjoyable event. One of the highlights for me was the blackhat and whitehat debate with the very funny Dave Naylor. Whilst at the conference I collected a lot of websites that were recommended by the various speakers at SES and here they are (in no order). They range from articles on SEO to SEO tools you can run your website through. I haven’t tried them all yet, so if some are better than others let me know…
www.seedkeywords.com – Find keywords using your friends and colleagues.
www.uie.com/articles/trigger_words/ – Article by Jared M. Spool on trigger words
www.usertesting.com – Very cheap usability testing, the site claims from $19. I haven’t tried this yet but could be fun and at that price there’s no excuse not to do usability testing!
