Top SEO Tools Reviewed

Article Marketing is still a very useful tool in any SEO / website promoters’  arsenal in obtaining backlinks and traffic. Once a website has been keyword ‘optimised’ and metatags set up, there really isn’t anything else to do but build links to your site, in order to increase its ranking in the search engines. It is pretty much true that the more one way links to a website, the higher that site will rank and the more organic (search) traffic the site will get. More traffic means more money, simple as that.

Of course, the quality of links pointing to your site are also a major factor; there’s nothing like a large number of high page rank (PR) links pointing to your site but these are difficult and often expensive to obtain and besides quantity has a quality all of its own.

Obtaining several thousand PR0 (page rank zero) links will almost certainly propel your site to the top of the search engine results for many keywords and is certainly worth the effort if you can leverage certain tools to make your article marketing efforts count.

This is where article spinning and submission comes in. Let us consider the traditional method: You write a good quality article, submit it to some good, high PR article directories like ezinearticles and before long, you will get some good links and traffic, right? At least that was worked in the early part of the new millenium.

The problem is that article marketing has been used for several years now and in truth, the article directories are swamped already with good articles that generate ‘some’ traffic but there are simply so many articles on these popular, famous directories,  that the link ‘juice’ isn’t what it used to be.

The way article marketers have tried to get around this is simply to submit more articles, submit their articles to more directories, or both.

Now this brings a whole other set of issues; writing acceptable quality articles of around 400-500 words is very time consuming and then submitting the articles to article directories takes a lot of time also. With each directory, you have to create an account (if you don’t have one already), log in, load up your article, load up your resource box (containing the links back to your site) and finally make sure that you submit the article to the right category before moving on to  the next article directory and repeating the entire process.

The next problem is that whilst submitting an article to several article directories will shortly give a high number of backlinks to your site, eventually the link ‘juice’ from these article submissions will be reduced drastically due to the duplicate content rules set by the search engines like Google.

“In an ideal world article marketing would be like this…”

• No need to spend too much time researching and writing good quality articles, we want to be able to find a good quality article on the web and ‘borrow it’.
• Then, using something called an article ‘spinner’ we could change certain text within existing articles so that the article still makes sense to a reader but looks completely different to search engines.
• Next we would want to be able to produce several hundred unique ‘versions’ of our original article and then submit one unique ‘version’ to each of several hundred different article directories at the click of a button.

Like I said, this would be in an ideal world! Now let me share with you how this is in fact a reality and how in just half an hour using article marketing software, I daily build around 400-500 links to my chosen site using my target keywords as ‘anchor text’ (i.e. the link description. For example ‘click here to find out more’ is nowhere near as good as say ‘plymouth plumbing services’ as the text on a website link if you are trying to rank for that phrase).

So, here is what I DO. Not theory, reality!

(1) Find a really good article on the web relating to the keywords that I am trying to rank for (10 mins)
(2) Load that article into my magic article spinner (1 minute)
(3) Spin the article so that it is more than 30% ‘unique’ (10-15 minutes)
(4) Load my resource box containing my links (1 minute)
(5) Load the new article versions into my magic article submitter at the push of a button (1 minute)
(6) choose the directory categories most relevant to my article (1 minute)
(7) press the submit button and put the kettle on for a cup of tea.  By the time my cuppa has been consumed the software will have submitted a unique version of my article to around 800 or so different article directories. This translates into 400-600 ‘accepted’ links that will be indexed by the search engines in about a week or so.
(8) repeat. I normally do this just once, sometimes twice a day and every single time the site that I am promoting rapidly climbs the search results and gets more traffic.

A good article spinner will cost you around $40-$60. A good article submitter about the same. Buying both together you should save money and after trying out a good dozen or so spinners and another dozen or so article submitters over several years, I can say without doubt that I now own the best spinner/submitter package on the market! I just wish someone had shown me which one was the best one years ago and saved me several hundred dollars and several hundred hours in wasted effort. It’s the Magic Article Spinner and Magic Article Submitter, hands down. This remarkable article marketing software package is still the top seller and comes with regular free updates to both the spinning database and directory database, so you’ll never have to buy another article marketing tool, ever.

Social Bookmarking Your Site For A Massive Jump in Search Engine Rankings and … why you should use Bookmarking Demon Software

As part of an overall strategy  to build links to your website, in turn getting higher search engine rankings (and therefore more traffic), social bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, Mr Wong, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Propeller and so on simply cannot be ignored: they have very high Page Rank (PR) and are indexed by the major search engines every few hours. You may have noticed when you do a Google search that results from these bookmarking sites show up with increasing frequency…

Let’s say that you open an account at Digg.com. You bookmark all of the pages from your site, choosing your target keywords (your ‘anchor text’) as your bookmark titles. Each of these bookmarks will appear on Digg.com as having 1 ‘dig’ or vote. There you go, you’ve got a good solid anchor-text link from Dig.com to your target website, one to each website page, links that will very quickly be picked up by the search engines and counted in their calculations to rank your site. The higher your websites’ rank the more (targeted) traffic you should get, so it stands to reason that you should be using a bookmarking strategy to get your site more traffic.

The first thing you can do is open an account at socialmarker.com. Then you go and open account at several bookmarking services and use Socialmarker.com as a tool to ‘semi’ automate your bookmarking. With a couple of hours work you can gain several dozen back-links to your website, FREE OF CHARGE and many will also carry the ‘do-follow’ tag, meaning that Google assigns maximum ‘juice’ to these links.

You can also get the free browser toolbar from onlywire.com, this can allow you to bookmark with 20 or so top bookmarking sites with a couple of clicks. This is a great little tool and the paid version (about $40 per annum) is pretty good value.

Yes, it’s a couple of hours work for each of your websites but it needs to be done! The problem now is, if you want more links from social bookmarking sites, then you have to open another bookmarking account with all of the social bookmarking providers using a different email address and different log-in information. To open a hundred accounts (yes there are at least that many popular, high PR rank bookmarking sites), well, you can see how this could become very time consuming but believe me, if this was the only method that you had at your disposal to build links, you would see massive, positive results very quickly.

As your site gets another ‘vote’ at each bookmarking service, it moves up in their internal rankings meaning that as users search within the bookmarks for recommendations from other users, rather than use a traditional search on say Google or Bing, your site may even start to get traffic from the bookmarking service itself as well as from higher search engine ranking positions (‘SERPS’).

Like I said this can be VERY time consuming and for the past few years many automated and semi-automated services and software solutions have arrived, the most effective and best of them all being the Bookmarking Demon software from Edwinsoft (BMD). Yes there are a few other packages of SEO tools offering bookmarking as a module, Miracle Traffic Bot and Magic Submitter to name just two (which I also use extensively!) , but BMD is the one dedicated to automated bookmarking.

I bought BMD back at the start of 2009 and it is still the top selling bookmarking software at the time of writing (June 2010) and deservedly so. At first I would use the software to automatically open bookmarking accounts, load up my web pages and leave BMD running in the background  all day every day. It wasn’t long before I was getting ‘some’ traffic  and sure enough I started getting ‘some’ movement in my SERPS. Disappointment set in, I tried searching the internet to see what other users were doing different to get better results but alas it took several hours of trial and error, waiting weeks and weeks to see the outcomes, before I found out how to get the maximum out of the Bookmarking Demon Software.

All I can say here is that the trick –and people are charging $30 to $50 for this one piece of information – is not to bookmark your whole site over and over; instead sign up for 20 or so email addresses from Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. Put all of these new profiles on an excel file and import it into BMD. Then use the software to create accounts, load a FEW pages from your site – the best pages – and let BMD go nuts bookmarking your site. Then do the same again every month or so and sit down for a couple of hours bookmarking through BMD the sites requiring CATPCHA input.

It is easy to use? Yes. Does it deserve it’s place as the ‘Daddy’ of all bookmarking software? Yes again. Is it worth the price tag ($149 to $199)? Absolutely. Does it work as promised? Yes, if you use it right. If I could only have one SEO tool to promote my sites, this would be it, without question.

Summary. If you want to see your site climb higher in the search engines, get more traffic than ever before, show off your SEO acumen to clients with real world results, then you simply have to own a copy of Bookmarking Demon. Doing SEO without it is like being a mechanic without a wrench – or a graphic designer without Photoshop. It is simply an essential tool and until something better comes along, the only serious choice.

p.s. please leave a comment with your own experiences of using BMD or any questions you may have. Finally, don’t forget to mutiple bookmark my whole site with your copy of BMD – and I will do the same for you!

This is the last software that I purchased in an attempt to turbocharge traffic levels to my network of wordpress blogs. After exactly 30 days I can confirm that as a direct result of buying and using this software, traffic levels (and of course clicks on google adverts   ) have risen some 16% across the board already. Impressive!

How it works is that every article you post onto your blog or website gets assigned an individual RSS feed, which is then submitted to LOADS of RSS aggregators (or ‘directories’). Being as each feed has your keyword-optimised title, this in turn brings lots and lots of juicy deep one-way links to your site. Over time, the results are pretty damn good!

I know this is a very short review but heh, it’s a simple idea and it works on autopilot. 10 out of 10.

A few people have asked how to create a resource box to use when submitting articles to article directories. If you are just submitting articles to the major directories then you are pretty much limited to promoting just two keywords but if you are using a cool article spinning tool like Magic Article Spinner and Submitter then you can even randomise the whole resource box: the text, the target URL AND the keywords! Anyway, for a standard resource box which you can add to all of your articles and posts on all sorts of blogging applications, just cut and paste this line of code into your article, replacing the NAME, YOUR-URL and the KEYWORD phrase with your own:

Article submitted by NAME. To find out more about <a href=”YOUR-URL“>KEYWORD</a> or  <a href=”YOUR-URL“>KEYWORD2</a>just visit!

For example, if I wanted to build links for the keywords “Article Marketing” and “Article Spinning Software” and I wanted these links to go to my blog www.topseotools.info then my resource box code would look like this:

Article submitted by Bryan P. To find out more about <a href=http://www.topseotools.info>article marketing</a> or  <a href=http://www.topseotools.info>article spinning software</a>just visit!

When the resource box appears online in the directory, it will look like this:

Article submitted by Bryan P. To find out more about article marketing or article spinning software just visit!

Naturally, Google Yahoo Bing and all of the other search engines will give more link ‘juice’ to my site for the search terms (keywords) chosen. Submit this resource box with a couple of  hundred articles and you can pretty much bank on ranking at (or close to) the top for your keywords. ($$ Kerching $$!)

Now, let’s say you are using MAGIC ARTICLE SUBMITTER like I do. You know that your article is going to get published at several hundred sites and that you are only usually allowed to put two links in your resource box, even if they are two links to the same site. What if you are trying to rank for THREE or more keywords?… easy… Magic Article Spinner allows you to even spin the resource box! … so you could have each article submission randomly choose between keywords. For example:

Article submitted by Bryan owner of a <a href=”http://www.topseotools.info/”>best seo tools</a> review blog with top tips on the<a href=”http://www.topseotools.info/”>best article spinner|best article submitter</a> just visit!

Notice how the second keyword submitted on all of your articles will be 50:50 between two keywords. Clever eh? So for example if the magic article submitter sends your articles to 600 directories that accept it, you will get 300 links for the first keyword and 150 links for each of the other two. There is nothing to stop you spinning in as many keywords as you want and then using the same resource box for all of your articles with the same URL (website addresss) that you are trying to promote. I’ve found that spending just two whole days on promoting a site this way will allow me to ‘borrow’ spin and submit about 30-40 articles  and a few weeks later I start to see seriously good Google rankings for my target sites for multiple keywords, followed by a HUGE increase in traffic. That’s how I do it, anyway! Now, you owe me $200 for the advice and $200 for my time… just kidding!

Enjoy your day,
