SoloSEO: Do-It-Yourself SEO

I signed up with a free trial at SoloSEO and I must say that it’s pretty impressive SoloSEO is an online Project Management tool with the emphasis on SEO. for those not familiar with the term SEO:

“SEO is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the site receives from search engines. Firms that practice SEO can vary; some have a highly specialized focus, while others take a more broad and general approach. Optimizing a web site for search engines can require looking at so many unique elements that many practitioners of SEO (SEOs) consider themselves to be in the broad field of website optimization (since so many of those elements intertwine).”
(definition taken from SEOmoz’s beginner’s guide to SEO.)

Since I consider myself a newb to SEO, SoloSEO takes you a long way. It’s not as comprehensive as IBP but it doesn’t pretend to be. I really like the Competitive SEO Reports you can run. It gives you a great insight how your competitors are doing and what kind of action you need to take to improve your site.

Another great tool is the Link Build it! widget. It will instantly tell you the site’s backlinks, pagerank, DMOZ listings etc. Now I’m aware all these tools might be out there and free to use but SoloSEO put’s it all in one place.

For beginners like me or for people who don’t want to spend money on SEO it’s a great tool to get you started. Again, I’m having a test trial but like I said the first 5 days were pretty satisfying.
