site in Google SERPs, up to 100 pages deep, for multiple keywords in one

Tools- scads of free tools, but my favorite is the Keyword Suggestion
tool. A simple listing of Word Tracker and Overture keywords side by side |
|

Ranking (except on Yahoo, of
course). It's kind of flaky, because it's in beta testing. I guess you get
what you pay for. |

ranking over time for the major search engines |

Ranks.NL - Accurate
keyword density and prominence analyzer. Free as long as your page is not
too big. (if you can't use it for free, your page really is too big) |
|
Way Back Machine -
Every wonder what a site used to look like? Useful to check out expired
domain names, that have been thrown back into the pool (you don't want to
start a site with a domain that had an unsavory past) |
|
Google
Data Centers - a list of 63 currently active servers at 15 Google Data
Centers. Since the data centers do not update in any predictable way, it

own web site templates or images. It loads up and stays in the foreground
until you shut it down. |

good-looking web pages. (I hate sites that used golf pants from the 70's
as inspiration) |
