Free SEO tools that I found recently...

Is there anything better than finding free SEO tools that are REALLY valuable?  Well, winning the lotto might top it, but not by much.  Okay, I might need a life, but I have found a couple cool tools lately that I thought I'd share.

Majestic SEO is the first one.  An awesome database of links over time that can show you how your links have grown, or how your competitors' have grown.  This can be some excellent intelligence to gauge the aggressiveness of your competitors and diagnose the tactics they're using.  I'm still digging into all of the ways to leverage this tool, but thus far, it's one of the most impressive free tools I have found.

Buzzstream is the other tool.  To me, one of the most inefficient tasks in SEO is trying to track your communications, particularly with all of the different methods of communication these days.  While it may not solve every issue in tracking your communications, it goes a long way towards documenting and categorizing your link building opportunities.  I'm just beginning to wade into using this, but the prospects are pretty exciting thus far.

Okay, keeping it short tonight...err...this morning.  Happy SEOing...
