Starting Point before SEO

[tony4x4]

Hi there,

I am about to embark on my 1st attempt on optimising my web site. Are there tools or a web site that can give me an overall SEO state of my web site in it's current state. Then my intention is to monitor my progress as I implement new SEO techniques on the site.

Thanks

Tony

The best tool would be your own. Decide why you are doing SEO in the first place, and track that through the progress of your SEO. One of the reasons I do SEO is for advertising money, and I track the money. The advantage is it broadens your outlook on SEO.

Checking where you are in Google or other search engines for your favourite search terms can be an indicator. If you start at number 400 and end up at number 1 then you know you've made some progress.

Human page requests give a good indication of how much your site is being looked at. These will catch search terms that you weren't nesessarily planning for.

For tools - search the web for "SEO Guy Tools" and "Digitalpoint Tools" you'll find some useful things.
