The Best Free SEO Tools
There are many free SEO tools on the Internet, but here's a list (not listed in any particular order) of the ones I found to be most useful:
 The SEO For Firefox tool allows webmasters and Internet marketers to easily conduct competitive search engine (Google & Yahoo) research directly in the search results pages to analyze key statistics and data about a particular domain name or keyword. The tool is a Firefox add-on which can be activated or deactivated from within your Firefox browser.
 The Google AdWords free keyword tool allows webmasters and Internet marketers to generate keyword ideas and check their relevant local or global traffic. It also allows Internet marketers to check which keywords are driving most of the traffic to a competitor's website.
 The Google Ad Planner tool allows webmasters and Internet marketers to identify the websites their target audience are likely to visit based on their search habits, interests and demographics.
 The Google Search-Based Keyword Tool generates highly relevant keyword ideas to a particular website, which helps webmasters and Internet marketers optimize their AdWords campaigns by revealing new advertising opportunities or create new, unique and relevant content based on new keywords.
 The Google Insights for Search tool allows webmasters and Internet marketers to compare the Google search volume patterns of specific regions, categories, time frames and properties.
 Google Trends is a free keyword tool that allows webmasters and Internet marketers to check the latest trends that certain keywords are creating (or have created over time) across different regions, cities and languages. They can also use Trends for Websites to gain better insight with regards to the audiences of specific websites.
 Keyword Spy allows webmasters and internet marketers to spy on a competitor's advertising strategy revealing which keywords are generating the most traffic to a competitor's website. The free version of Keyword Spy only shows 20 results per query, to have access to all data, you would need to upgrade.
 Compete Site Profile provides webmasters and internet marketers free information for every site on the Internet including site traffic history and competitive analytics. Compete offers many other useful services for a premium charge. Click here to view the full list of services.
 The Alexa Toolbar allows webmasters and internet marketers to quickly view the Alexa rank of any website which generally gives a very good indication whether a website is regularly publishing unique content and if it's generating regular traffic. The closer the rank is to number 1 the better a particular site is performing (generally speaking). Google.com for example is currently holding the number 1 position.
