Lots of thanks emilia for your help!

I use a lot of the ones you've mentioned here too, but in addition: SEM Rush - which I don't think anyone has mentioned yet?
It's good for Rankings, competitor analysis, adwords analysis and SEO audits - it finds broken links, missing alt text, dupliacte meta tags etc etc. I find the reports it generates quite helpful and easy to use. I've used it for keyword analysis too in the past, but as my site is up and running I don't really do a lot of this anymore - I know what keywords bring in traffic... I'm pretty sure that I only scratch the surface of it and that there is a lot more to be got from it, but I only have so many hours in a day!!!
I don't just use one tool though - I use a few at once and combine the findings. I don't expect one tool to do it all
Hope this helps,
Amelia

You are right! Thanks for your answer.

No such thing as best tool for seo. Seo is huge, so there are different tools for different purposes.
-
That tool is similar to Accuranker. If you have time, you should try it.

No, sorry.
-
I don't know Accuranker, I use CuterRank. ¿Do you know that?
-
Accuranker is cheap, and allows me to instantly see how a page ranks for new content, and for after content is updated. I find it invaluable, as you can submit a page to webmaster tools via fetch and then check rankings 5 minutes later to see the effect (noting, you may see an initial effect and then some days later get more movement).
Cognitive SEO is great if you need full backlink data, i.e. for link cleanups etc or if you get hit by negative SEO etc. Basically it is cheaper than signing up to ahrefs, majestic and moz. Although Moz is great for all the other tools.
-
And the last tools that you say to me, are they good?
-
I use MOZ, screaming frog, semrush, ahrefs, cuterrank, xenu (I have started since Monday) and I don't remember more.
-
I only use two currently:
- Moz
- Accuranker (great rank tracker where you can update your rankings instantly as many times as you want)
- Occasionally I will use cognitiveseo as this takes in Moz, Ahrefs and majestic link data as well as webmaster tools data from your account and is useful for cleaning up backlinks (I was hit by negative seo last year).
I have tried many other tools, but these are the ones I keep going back to.
-
What tools do you use, and maybe I could recommend some others that way
-
Thanks Andy. I know all of them but I am going to search new tools for SEO. I hope that I am lucky. Thanks for all.
-
Lots of thanks! I use more tools but I would like to try new tools. I know all of them but thanks for your answer.
-
Unfortunately there isn't a 1 amazing tool like everyone has said, its all about using multiple tools and using the best tool to meet the specific task you are trying to complete.
It also depends on what budget you have for SEO software, I am quite fortunate in that I have quite a lot of the software agreed by my MD, but I know some who really struggle.
I use:
- Moz
- Rankwatch - for rank tracking
- Ahrefs
- Searchmetrics
- SEMRush
- Majestic
- Screaming frog
And those are the ones i use frequently there a couple more i have that I cant remember of top of my head that I use for certain tasks and projects.
I wish there was a one best solution, all the above solutions are good, but not great in isolation and need to be used together.
Thanks
Andy

SEO tools are like personal assistants:
- you will never find the "best"
- they never do your job (only assist you/speed you up)
- if you have the budget to have more, you get more work prepared by them
That is my shortlist
I personally use Screaming Frog + Moz, + Majestic + Xovi
I hope this helps.

Hello Carlos,
There isn't something like the best SEO tool, it always depends on you. I suggest you to test some tools (most of them have a free test month) and decide what works out best for you.

Best way to move a page without 301
I have a page that currently ranks high for its term. That page is going away for the main website users, meaning all internal site links pointing to that page are going away and point to a new page. Normally you would just do a 301 redirect to the new URL however the old URL will still need to remain as a landing page since we send paid media traffic to that URL. My question is what is the best way to deal with that? One thought was set up a canonical tag, however my understanding is that the pages need to be identical or very close to the same and the landing page will be light on content and different from the new main page. Not topically different but not identical copy or design, etc.

Webmaster Tools (Urgent)
So yesterday google webmaster tools has over 5,000 links linking to my site. I get in this morniing and now i have 16 links linking to my site and no rankings minus brand terms. I do not believe that I have been penalized but I might have been. After digging further into this it seems that my www.domain.com and domain.com are separated and webmaster tools is tracking www.domain.com and majority of links are to domain.com. Is this possible or am I wishing to see something that is not there. Any help and recommendations would be absolutely appreciated.

Best way to move from mixed case url to all lowercase?
We are currently in the process of moving our site from a mixed case structure i.e -> <sitename>/franchise/childrens-child-care/party/Bricks-4-Kidz/company-information.cfm</sitename> to all lowercase i.e -> <sitename>/franchise/childrens-child-care/party/bricks-4-kidz/company-information.cfm.</sitename> In order to maintain as much link juice as possible, should we be using 301 redirects to point from the old to the new? or would it be more advantageous to wait for the next crawl and the link juice would also be somewhat maintained even though the all the upper case letters have been converted to lowercase?

Best way to handle traffic from links brought in from old domain.
I've seen many versions of answers to this question both in the forum, and throughout the internet... However, none of them seem to specifically address this particular situation. Here goes: I work for a company that has a website (www.example.com) but has also operated under a few different names in the past. I discovered that a friend of the company was still holding onto one of the domains that belonged to one of the older versions of the company (www.asample.com) and he was kind enough to transfer it into our account. My first reaction was to simply 301 redirect the older to the newer. After I did this, I discovered that there were still quite a few active and very relevant links to that domain, upon reporting this to the company owners they were suddenly concerned that a customer may feel misdirected by clicking www.asample.com and having www.example.com pop up. So I constructed a single page on the old domain that explained that www.asample.com was now called www.example.com and provided a link. We recently did a little house cleaning and moved all of our online holdings "under one roof" so to speak, and when the rep was going over things with the owners began to exclaim that this was a horrible idea, and that domain should instead be linked to it's own hosting account, and wordpress (or some other CMS) should be installed, and a few pages of content about the companies/subject should be posted. So the question: Which one of these is the most beneficial to the site and the business that are currently operating (www.example.com?) I don't see a real problem with any of these answers, but I do see a potentially un-needed expense in the third solution if a simple 301 will bring about the most value. Anyone else dealt with a situation like this?

Somthing weird in my Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors...
Hey, I recently (this past may) redesigned my e-commerce site from .asp to .php. I am trying to fix all the old pages with 301 redirects that didn't make it in the switch, but I keep getting weird pages coming up in GWT. I have about 400 pages under crawl errors that look like this "emailus.php?id=MD908070" I delete them and they come back. my site is http://www.moondoggieinc.com the id #'s are product #'s for products that are no longer on the site, but the site is .php now. They also do not show a sitemap they are linked in or any other page that they are linked from. Are these hurting me? and how do I get rid of them? Thanks! KristyO
