Free Webmaster Tools You Should Know About
Creating and taking care of your website or for that matter any collection of online content can be a daunting task, especially without the right tools. Herein three vital free webmasters tools and how to use them will be discussed, with appropriate links to the tools included. The free webmaster tools are listed in order of use, from Google AdWords to Textalyser and then Iwebtool. This listing order is meant as a chronological order of use whilst developing your website or article for associated content.
Free Webmaster Tools: Google AdWords Keyword
The title of this Google tool can be quite misleading, as the name seems to suggest it would only be of use to those who wish to advertise using Google. Basically it was meant to be a tool to show people intending to advertise what key words are looked up and in what volume, however it is also useful in deciding what words to include in an article or website as it shows the volume of people that search for certain sets of keywords. It also gives recommendations for other keywords to include in an article or website, thus boosting potential views. As such, the AdWords keywords tool is one of the best webmaster tools available.
Free Webmaster Tools: Textalyser
Textalayser is a great free webmaster tool which analyses a given set of text and gives details regarding it. Namely details such as what words appear and how many times they appear, how many keywords it has and how readable the text is. Where it is useful is that it enables webmasters to see the view of a webpage that search engines do and as such it allows webmasters to check the topic they think they are writing about against the topic that search engines think the article is about. As such, Textalyser is one of the best free webmaster tools.
Free Webmaster Tools: Iwebtool
Iwebtool is not so much a single tool for webmasters as it is a collection of webmaster resources. It has a collection of programs that can achieve many things useful to webmasters, from checking how many links are on the web to a specific site to checking page rank and search engine position. What really makes iwebtool one of the best webmaster tools is its professional and easy to use design, with as little clutter possible. As such, iwebtool is an indispensable collection of tools for webmasters.

8 Simple SEO Techniques Every Webmaster Should Know
Every webmaster should have some basic understanding of
these simple SEO techniques if they want to achieve
Top Rankings for their site. The more you know about these
Search Engine Optimization techniques; the better your
web pages will fare in the different search engines,
especially Google.
Optimizing your pages for the search engines should be
your main priority because conquering and dominating your
chosen keywords is often cited as one of the major
determining factors in the success of your online site
or business. You must have a rudimentary grasp of how
SEO can work for you and your site.
These simple SEO Tips will help you understand
the basics and help you reach your online goals.
1. Title Tag
The Title Tag is located at the top of your html page
and it tells the search engines what your page is about.
When you open your page in a browser these are the
words at the very top of the screen. Despite its simplicity,
the title tag is crucial to 'on-page optimization'; it should
include your main keywords and it should be 63 characters
or less if you want your title to appear in full on Google.
Many SEO experts create web pages in a three-prong
approach. They place the title in:
- the title tag
- on the webpage itself
- and in the URL for that page.
Sometimes they will just pick the main keywords from
the title and place them in the anchor url instead.
For example: [http://www.yourwebsite.com/keywords.html]
3. Meta Description Tag

Your description will show up in all the search engines
so you have to be careful to write precisely and objectively.
It should be about 140 characters or around 20 words.
Make sure to include your keywords but don't spam; don't
repeat your keywords more than twice, using variations is
helpful.
Keep in mind, successful webmasters make their descriptions
stand out from the crowd and entice the surfer to click
their link. It is also the first contact with your potential
visitor or prospect so make a good first impression.

or from site to site. This tag should have your title
or the main keywords from your page title to be the most
effective.

links in order to rank high.

has.

of listings for each.

of your site by using the cache command.

retrieved.

must dominate the search engines for your
chosen keywords if you are to succeed online.
You must be able to find variations of your
keywords to completely conquer your targeted
niche. To find what other keywords Google has
associated with your main keywords, just use
the tilde ~ command to find associated phrases
in Google.

~keywords

your keywords in the title just use the allintitle

in the picture with regards to your standings in the search
engines. Your site's stats or raw traffic logs will also confirm

within Google. This is yet another example where knowledge
