Everybody loves free, especially around the holidays when most of us spend more than any other time of year. And when it comes to building successful websites and creating targeted Search Engine Optimization campaigns, free tools are the best!
Today I want to share a few of my favorite free tools and tricks for SEO. These puppies are a great way to get more natural search engine traffic and work great with the strategies I’ve suggested before.

If you’re blogging, WordPress is the only tool you should ever consider using. Search engines love it, it’s easy, and the results are always great! You can download the WordPress open source software free at their website or simply setup a free blog on their servers to start promoting your products or services.
4. Yahoo Site Explorer
Looking for SEO-related info about your websites? Yahoo Site Explorer does a tremendous job of making it easy to see exactly where your links are coming from across the web. Good stuff for tracking your linking campaigns.
5. Wordtracker Keyword Tool
Research and refine your keyword targets online with Wordtracker’s free preview keyword tool. Type in a target phrase and see what pops up. But beware: some of the projected traffic numbers they list can be a bit deceptive. Think of this more as a general guide and a companion to the already well known Google Keyword Tool.
Use all of these free SEO tools in concert to improve your business Search Engine Marketing results quickly. Sometimes there is such a thing as a free lunch.
