SEO Expert Blog

The Web is one of the fastest changing media, but one aspect seems to remain unchanged: the Web is slow. Back when I started using the Web in the mid 90ies I either accessed the Internet from a computer in the university or from home with a 14K modem. It was a nuisance to download a page with more than 50KB.

Today, I use a DSL2000 connection to access the Internet, which is theoretically 140 times faster, but it still takes long to download many pages.

pMetrics (performancing Metrics) is a feature rich advanced Web statistics and visitor tracking solution offered by Performancing, Inc. The pMetrics module for Drupal lets you integrate this service easily in your Drupal site, provided you have signed up for pMetrics.

I am a guy interested in SEO otherwise I wouldn't run SEO Expert Blog and I probably would not read other SEO blogs. But I do so and one of the topics I regularly read about in SEO blogs is how to gain backlinks from .edu-Domains.

Links from .edu-Domains are popular because Google and other search engines trust these educational sites often run by universities. Usually .edu-domains are in existence for quite a long time and have a high PageRank.

This is a categorized listing of 105 free SEO tools you can use for optimizing websites. For each category I give a short introduction about what the tools do. Most of them have an English interface and are web based.

Some tools need to be installed on a web server or a client connected to the Internet which is indicated in the introductory text or next to the link. Have fun trying out these free SEO tools!

Google launched a new version of their free web statistics and tracking service Google Analytics last Tuesday. The first thing you notice is the completely revised dashbord that displays statistics on visits, pageviews, traffic sources and other data for the past month instead of the past 7 days.
