  • Sales A web site is the perfect salesman. It answers questions, can collect revenues, works 24X7, never asks for a raise or vacation, and never looses it’s temper.

Free SEO Tool – Link Assistant June 14, 2006

Link Assistant offers a 30 day free trial download at:

LinkAssistant.com

This is one one the most amazing and useful programs I have ever seen. Easy to use to. I never did read the directions but was making good use of the program within 15 minutes.

Link Assistant Box A must have for doing serious SEO.

It has so many great useful functions but lets just talk about how it can help you improve your search engine ranking. Here are the main things I like about the program.

First, before you can improve your search engine rankings it's useful to know where you site stands. Link assistant will tell you exactly what page your site is ranked on in dozens of major search engines.  For example I was surprised to find out DreamFlex does very well at MNS but poor at Google, even though I have lots of Google ads running on DreamFlex.

Second, Link Assistant will help you manage your external links. These are links you have on your site that lead to other websites. The way Link Assistant displays and manages external links for you is just amazing, and fun. But what does managing your external links have to do with your site's page ranking at major search engines? 

Well just this. The more external links a site has the higher will be it's search engine ranking. Sure enough, Darkstar9.com, one of my client sites only constructed 14 months ago but having pages of external links has risen to Yahoo's second page for it's category "game sites". That's pretty good considering Yahoo listed over 2 million other sites containing the search phrase "game site"!

Third, Link Assistant has a built in key word collector and analyser. This feature alone is worth getting the program for. How important is this feature? Let me just say that before I had Link Assistant I payed $400 dollars to have this same service completed on behalf of a client. You see you really want to know the top 10 key words other sites are using to describe the same category your in.  But until reacently this was very expensive to determine.

With Link Assistant and about 30 minutes of your time you can find the top 10 words that best define your type of site to Mr. and Mrs John Q Public. Once you have the 10 most popular key words pass them on to your webmaster, err that would be me I hope. I'll insert them into your key word tags on every main page on your site. Yes yes yes this makes a big difference in search engine ranking. No I do not do this for you, the key words I put in your key word tags are guestimates. Use this powerful feature of Link Assistant to turbo charge your key word tags.

Fourth. Link Assistant has a fourth feature which looks the most promising of all to drive traffic to your site. The only thing is I could not make it work. Perhaps it would have worked if I read the directions?

So what is it? Well how about a automatic link exchange program that automatically sets up link exchanges with other websites for you. Woohoo I've got to try it again and report back to you.

I promise I will read the directions within the program and try to get this feature to work again. But even without Link Assistant actually going out ad gathering link exchange partners for me I still love this wonderful SEO tool!

E-mail Forwarding can help mask your real e-mail address from address harvesters.

For example if your real e-mail address was Sally9001@aol.com; and the name of the your website is FloridaSunGlasses.com …

Your webmaster could sets things up on your website so that:

E-mail to service@FloridaSunGlasses is routed to Sally9001@aol.com
