Part I: Monitoring SEO Parameters 

First Things First

First and foremost we should be aware of what SEO parameters are, They are numerical indicators which helps us indicate how a website have progressed such as pageranks, indexes, and links.

SEOQUAKE ToolBar is an IE and Firefox extension that helps us monitor SEO Parameters all at once just by merely looking at your toolbar for every page you visit.

SeoQuake Parameters:

  1. Google PageRank

  2. Google Index

  3. Yahoo Pagerank

Download SeoQuake Toolbar

Everytime you visit a site all SEO parameters provided by the SeoQuake Toolbar would automatically appear. This is a very important tool for "Link Builders" which allows them to monitor the progress of their work and the effectiveness of the SEO Strategy they are using.

Part II: Creating Accounts 

Registrations or Sign-Ups

Although creating accounts during signing up and registrations may sound so easy but actually inputting each informations such as real name, username, passwords, birthdays, email's and other important details on each of the required fields takes a lot of time. Roboform is a downloadable software which helps us to input all important details with just one click of a button.

Roboform Tutorial


You don't need to type each info in each boxes just one click of a button all the required fields on each are completely filled up. With Roboform registering or Signing up is just a nick of time.

Part III: Directory Submission 

OldSchool

One of the oldest strategy in link building is Directory Submission. In this way we can create an inbound link everytime we submit our site to an online directory, so the more directory we can visit the more inbound links we can create. Just like creating accounts it requires a lot of informations to be filled up before we can completely submit a link which actually takes a lot of time to do.

Here's a shareware tool that will help you with it.



Download Directory Submitter (Optional)


Directory Submitter Tutorial




The Directory Submitter is a downloadable software which automatically fills in forms in each directories. Initially it will provide you a total of 350 directories combination of free, paid, "reciprocal-link required" directories and it gives you the option of adding directories manually.

I can only give this software a rating of 6/10 because of it's 2 downsides; first it's not easy to add additional directories to this software, second extracting URLs seems to be impossible which makes it hard to record URLs if needed.

One of the tools that I recommend using is SEO Auto Complete Tool which is a much better tool compared to the Directory Submitter. Although almost perfect one of the downside is it's not compatible with other web browser. It is an extension provided only for Firefox2.0 and it's updated version but not with Firefox 3.0 webbrowser. I can only rate this 8.5/10.

Download SEO - Form - Auto Complete - Tool (Recommended)



All you have to do is visit a directory and select a button on the lower right corner of your browser as shown above(The number indicates which site you would like to submit), It automatically fills in the required fields for directory submission.

For this to work properly
1. Download the Seoform.xpi file
2. Open the file on Firefox browser to start installing the plugin.
3. Fill in each form completely and never leave any important details unfilled.
4. Make sure your Firefox browser is not updated to Version 3 because it is not compatible with it.
5. If not you should Download the Firefox 2.0.0.16 Version browser for it to work properly.

With this tool you can visit as many directories as you want and never worry of adding directory sites and recording URLs.

Part IV: Social Bookmarking 

NewSchool

Socialbookmarking is one of the most effective and by far the fastest way of building backlinks to your site compared to Directory Submissionbecause of the fact that it has greater audience and it allows you to creating intriguing titles that would actually draw some of the internet surfer's attention immediately. There are more than a hundred social bookmarking sites that are existing on the internet such Stumbleupon, Digg, Propeller and the likes but there are websites that compiles all of the Automatic bookmarking sites such as the sites listed below.

Addthis-PR9 -36 Social Bookmarking Sites Available
Addthis has the highest page rank on the list but I personally don't recommend using it because it's uneasy. With addthis you still have to signup just before you get the button and it sometimes fill's in form's with wrong titles and description. *3/10


Socialmarking-PR3 -130 Social Bookmarking Sites Available
Socialmarking has the greatest number of socialbookmarking sites available and still it's not that easy to use just like the addthis.*4/10


SocialPoster-PR5 -has 80 Social Bookmarking Sites Available (Recommended)

Socialposter by far is the best site that i have used. It completely fills in bookmarking info in frames so you can easily scroll back and forth through the listed bookmarking sites and submitting is just a click of a button.*9/10


Socialmarker-PR5 -47 Social Bookmarking Sites Available
Socialmarker The interface is much similar to socialposter with it's easy scrollable frame submission. However the only difference is it has lesser number of social bookmarking sites available.*8/10

SEO Studio 

Software Review

To tell you honestly what's keeping a website pushed down from the top? is competition. It is hard to fight better rivals, correct? The better they get the more you get pushed down and the more competition there is the lesser the chance you will lead the race giving you a long, long way to go and a lot more effort to get ahead of the other competitors. Here's one interesting software that I found Online, the solution. Even if your new to SEO you can compete with other sites that are best in line and you could even beat them in an SEO race even if you just have started. It's like a SEO on steroids!

Example in a chess match you can never beat a champ unless you think like the champ, correct? The point is you must think the way they do. If only you have some kind of sensory perception or what they call telepathy you can beat them. In a card game most likely we aniticipate to win but if you have an insight of what your opponent have in hand then we are 99% sure we would never loose. That is what SEO Studio does, giving you that same ability. It allows you to think what other leading competitors think and look into what they have in hand. SEO Studio simply looks into the minds of every competing websites giving you a bird's eye view into the foundation of an optimization and link building road map for you to follow reverse engineering your top competitors' websites.

    Link building will always be an important part of ranking well in search engines. I found one of the best ways to find relevant, quality website to get links from, is a tool called Trackur. It is primarily meant to monitor your brand online, however I have found it to be a better link building tool. You enter a keyword that you are looking to rank for and the tool will scour the web for websites, blogs, forums, discussion boards, videos, images, and social media sites for any mention of the keyword. The tool is reasonably priced for what it can do, or you can try their free trial before you buy. Hope this helps with everyone link building campaigns.
