Have you ever wished that you had some free SEO tools to help you rank your site right at the top of the first page of the search engine results pages? Of course you have! SEO Tools are the cornerstone of any internet marketer's box of tricks, but they are also quite expensive. For the average Joe it is much more economical to use free SEO tools available on the internet. I am going to give you a list of all of the free SEO tools that you will ever need - This is the kind of information that the people selling SEO products don't want you to know.

Stat Trackers: While not necessarily an SEO tool, a stat tracker will still be one of the most important services you will ever use as it allows you to track how well your site is performing and where improvements could be made. This will tell you how many visitors your site gets everyday, how many pages they view, where they came from, and a host of other things as well.

Some free stat trackers:

Webmaster Tools: Webmaster tools allow you to keep track of the search engine optimization side of your site, providing you with detailed reports of your indexed pages, backlinks, web crawling, SERP rankings, keyword analysis, and many more. This is by far the most important tool available in building a search engine optimized website as it focuses on the development side of things.

Backlink Checker: A backlink checker will allow you to keep track of how many backlinks you have linking to your your site, as well as the stats for each such as anchor text, PageRank, and whether it is a dofollow or nofollow link. Backlinks are the most important element in search engine optimization by far and are more or less the only thing you need to concern yourself about when building a website. (Note: Some Webmaster Tools packages include a backlink checker.)
