It’s said that these here below are the 3 most important SEO tools:
Backlink Checker is where you’ll be able to find the web sites that will link back to yours, you’ll also be able to see the text, the page’s Page Rank, if they use the “nofollow tag”, etc.
Niche Watch It’s a free tool, it’ll tell you which sites are on the front pages of the search engines, depending on the words you’re using.
Page Rank Checker Even when many people don’t think this one here is important, I still feel it’s important to keep the pagerank in mind.

SEO is Search Engine Optimization. It’s something you need to do to increase the visits in your website, these visits will come from the Search engine results. The higher you appear in the search engine, the more visits you’ll have.
The SEO is not appropriate for all web sites, this will depend on the goals you have for that specific web site. Since the algorithms of the search engines are constantly changing, there’s no warranty you’ll always be on the front page of the search engine.
There are two main factors to bare in mind with the SEO
- Internal factors: The right use of the keywords and article content.
- External factors: Links to our site
These are really relevant factors for SEO, and we need to remember this when we optimize our web sites.

They are:

There has always been a controvesy around the sites that are designed with Flash and their indexation in Google. There are many opened questions like: Will my content be fully indexed? What choices do I have to make it fully indexed?, etc.
As many of us know by now, Google is the major Search Engine that exists. Reason why we all want to be there. And of course, we all want to be indexed, so we don’t lose a possible customer.
Google tells us that Flash is a visual device. And the Googlebots have no eyes. It’s true that the Googlebots can read the content in Flash, and even extract the content and links from Flash. The structure itself is lost. If the content, on the other hand, is in the graphic object, then since the Googlebots cannot “see”, this content will be lost.
Google presents the next steps to solve this problem:
Use flash only when needed. Use Flash as a complement, not as everything in your site.
Do 2 menus, one in Flash and the other in HTML. So any user can log into the web page without been forced to download Flash.
Non Flash version of the site. Let the user choose what he/she wants to see. Let the Googlebots get all the info.
