Search Engine Positioning Resources
 At
Beanstalk Search Engine Positioning we believe that education
is the key to making any wise business decision. We spend time each
day researching and testing our tactics, visiting forums and reading
newsletters from other search engine positioning firms to keep ourselves
fully updated on what's going on in the SEO-world.
Below you will find links to some of the better resources that
we have come across in our travels. These links will take you to
sites with additional information on search engine positioning and
search engine positioning firms.
Should you know of any reason why one of the companies listed below
should not be on the list please contact
us and let us know including the reason. We will contact them
and assess their eligibility.
Search Engine Positioning Resources
ClickTracks
ClickTracks is the single best log analyzer that we have found to
date. This little tool allows webmasters, SEOs and business owners
to view more about their website visitors than you can imagine.
It will not only allow you to determine what keywords are bring
people from which engines (most stats will do that) but it will
go further to helpyou determine where these people are going on
your site, what pages they are visiting and even what links they
are clicking to get there and whether they purchased your produce/service
or not.
You really have to see it to fully grasp the power behind this
tool. They have allowed us to download their Flash demo which you
can view here.
LinkAdage
LinkAdage is a link auction site on which you can purchase and sell
advertising. Some SEOs and webmasters purchase links in hopes of
increasing their PageRank. This is not recommended. While purchased
text link can improve your link popularity somewebsites know to
be selling links are "penalized" in that PageRank is not
improved with links from them. It is recommended that you purchase
links from related sites for the traffic it can yield. If it inproved
your PageRank then it's a bonus but should not be considered the
only reason for purchasing links.
WordTracker
While this tool won't help you get top rankings it will help you
determine the best phrases to target. Very similar to Overture's
Search Term Suggestion Tool (below) except that this tool differentiates
between plural and singular searches, does not correct spelling
(i.e. it gives the number of searches for misspellings rather than
correcting them and giving a total for correct and misspelled words)
and gives the results in predicted numbers of searches over all
the engines per day rather than just one engine over a month.
The
Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool
A decent tool for researching keyword phrases. it'll indicate which
phrases had the highest numbers of searches on Overture the month
before. The biggest weakness it has as far as applying it to the
natural search engines is that Overture counts singular and plural
the same and also corrects misspelling so the totals are all lumped
together in this tool whereas on the natural engines they are considered
differently.
If you own or are affiliated with a quality search engine positioning
resource that you believe should be on this list we are happy to
hear from you. That said, companies listed on this page have basically
been given Beanstalk's "seal of approval" in the eyes of our site
visitors and we take this responsibility very seriously. There are
specific criteria which are noted on our "Partnership Application" page. Don't bother submitting your website if it doesn't match these
requirements as you'll only be wasting your (and our) time.
