Creative Compulsion

Lately, I’ve been working on the SEO for my websites one by one. I recently took a free online search engine optimization class taught by Cricket Walker. The class is great, with easy to understand information and each lesson gives you another aspect of SEO to work on. I highly recommend it!

So, needless to say, I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the subject. Last night, I came across a site called SEO Book. Wow! What a resource.

The first thing that caught my eye was the SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool. Totally cool. I’m currently paying for a keyword service, and while it’s good, I find it a little overwhelming to work with. The SEO Book tool is much more basic, but gives a host of information.

With this great tool, you just pop in your keywords, and it will come back with predicted daily search counts from Google, Yahoo and Live. It also gives you keyword variations based on your original search.

Once you’ve studied the keyword counts, you can go on to explore Google Trends, Google Traffic Estimator, Keyword tool and more, right from the same page. At any time, you can click on one of the keyword variations and the process starts again. I love it!

Other great tools found on SEO Book are the Rank Checker and SEO extensions for Firefox. Try them, I guarantee you’ll love these nifty little time savers!

Beyond the tools, SEO Book also offers a blog, a forum, free training videos and paid SEO training as well. I didn’t even scratch the surface of this site yesterday, I know how I’ll be spending my Saturday morning!

Enjoy
