There are many Free SEO Tools on the internet as well as tools that you will have to pay for. There are tools which can submit your site to 100’s, even 1000’s of link and article directories at the same time, toolbars which will check page ranks and sites which will check page rank, backlinks and give an estimated value of your site all in one go.

Here are a few of the best SEO Tools:

Page Rank Checkers / Backlink Analyzer

dnScoop - dnScoop is a website which shows you a few statistics about the SEO state of your website. It shows you Google Page Rank, Inbound Links, Domain Name Age, Domain IP Report (See which other sites are hosted on the same server)

Page Rank Predictor - Want to find out what PR your site will have? Try here. I would not take this guesstimate as an accurate prediction though, more like a bit of fun.

Keyword Tools

Keyword Suggestion Tool - This tool will show you links to suggested keyword monthly search volumes and much more, so you can see what terms are searched for most on all of the search engines.

Hittail - Hittail tells you what keywords your visitors you are using to find your website from search engines. It also suggests what you should optimise your site for. It can be as easy as putting these terms in a <h1> ir <strong> tag and they will help a lot.

Firefox Plugins

Live Page Rank - This is a plugin which will display the Google Page Rank of the page you are viewing in the bottom right hand corner.

SEO for Firefox - This will show up when you do Search Engine searches, under each search result it will show information like Page Ranking, links in DMOZ, Backlinks, Technorati links and .gov links.

Blog Tools

Everytime you post on your blog you should ping. These sites will help you get in the largest blogging directories online.

Link Submitters

digiXMAS Directory Submitter - Using Paid Mode it will add your site to hundreds of directorys automatically with you just having to choose categories and entering CAPTCHA confirmations. Paid Mode costs $15 per site but if you have many sites this price will go down. This is a valuable tool with helping gain back links and many of the top Link Submission companies use this.

Free Mode will allow you to still add your link to many directories it is just a bit more time consuming as it is not fully automatic. You will have to manually go through each directory and check the details and then press submit, whereas Paid Mode does everything for you.

Article Submitters

digiXMAS Article Submitter - This is a great tool used for submitting articles to around 1000 article directories at the same time. It will register you to the directory, it will access your email and activate the registration and will then submit the article to many, many sites.

This is semi - automatic which means you will have to input CAPTCHA fields and choose some locations where you want your article to be shown but it is very speedy with the accuracy and detail of manual submissions.

The software is free but there is a small charge of around $10 per article for submission (Which is a steal for around 1000 article directory submissions)

RSS & Blog Submission

Submit Em Now - This will submit your blog & RSS feed to over 100 directories. Great for backlink building.

Social Bookmarking

OnlyWire - This takes the URL and and the title information from the page and submits it to 18 different Social Bookmarking pages.

Social Marker - This is the same sort of site as OnlyWire but it will submit your link to a lot more sites.

Make sure you bookmark this link as I will be constantly adding new tools as I come across them. If you have any or know of any great tools to help with SEO then please feel free to leave a comment with the information on this.

I've been using the directory warrior and it works pretty well. it takes some time to set up but once you have it then it saves a bunch of time in the long run

But my advice would be for you to start by building links:
- Get a free press release about your company through PR.com
- submit your site link to search engines and local directories,
- create your business profile on your website hosting provider,
- submit to business directories/online yellow pages

Also, make sure your content has the right keyword - say 'photos of Toronto' or 'sunset in Ottowa' and your metatags are set right.

Hope this helps.

Backlinks are important for SEO: the more backlinks which a website has, the more relevant search engines consider it. At the most basic level, the more pages which a website has linking back to its home page, the more backlinks there are. So add pages to your site: FAQ, About Us, Products, Services and so on: the more "branch" pages a site has, the more backlinks there are by default.

Another way to create backlinks and increase the relevance of a website is to sign up to online directories. Some request that the linking be mutual but not all and those that do merely add credibility to your site because they have "chosen" to list you, as far as your customers are concerned.

Keep your website regularly updated with a news page or blog, or both: a constantly updated or evolving website is looked upon favourably by Google as being relevant. In the same vein, add and amend pages so that when the bots or spiders crawl, they see updated content and report it back, increasing your relevance. Link back to your main site with blogs on Wordpress, blogger and so on and report updates to your blog on your main site and via social networking tools,

Be aware that link farms usually catch gogole's eyes and are percieved as BAD seo.
