Good round up but I’m surprised you didn’t mention Google webmaster tools and analytics – both are invaluable for identifying key word sources.

The best tip I’ve found is for an web marketer with a new client to put up a holding site (under a different domain but with several of the same basic keywords on the pages) and then use Analytics etc to see what keyword searches Google associates with the site. You won’t get click throughs but you will see what terms Google thinks match and then you can optimise around these.

Has worked well so far.

Cheers. Andy

I like their tools a lot but am always a bit wary of them; Google won’t shoot themselves in the foot, if you know what I mean 😉

In terms of SEO, Google Tools are the best because who else would know better what is happening in their house, but I am glad you brought into foreground other non-Google tools.
