Essential Webmaster Tools And Resources Part 1

Tools for webmaster are like apples for a apple salesman. Ok, that was crap. But you get the idea. Webmaster tools are catagorized based on the purpose. You can get tools for free as well as advanced tools for a price. I prefer free tools (doesn’t everybody?). So, I’ve layed out a few webmaster tools that you just can’t go without.

1. The first tool is a keyword tool. Keyword knowledge is essential before you begin any website. You need to do proper keyword research before any project to help drive search engine traffic. I’m talking about SEO book’s Keyword Suggestion Tool. You can also check out the other tools provided kindly by SEO tools.
2. The second tool I recommend to you is actually a website. EzineArticles is the largest article directory on the web. It’s potential is amazing. It’s not only a source for niche ideas but it’s also a large source for content. By checking out the articles you can see how many visitors per day that particular article received. You can easily know the market potential for the niche. Content is freely available. You can either do a direct copy leaving a thanks to the source or you can take the articles, use the ideas and create your own articles.
3. The third website I recommend is InstantDomainSearch. This website helps you find your perfect domain easily. Far easier than running searches on Namecheap anyhow.
4. The fourth website I recommend is Digg and Yahoo Buzz. You get up-to-date information on the hottest niches.
5. The fifth tool I recommend is SEO for Firefox. If you have firefox, just download it dude.
6. The sixth tool I recommend is eBenji – .EDU Links Free.
7. The seventh tool I recommend is Google Adwords Keyword Tool.
