To those new to SEO, here are a couple of sites that I find VERY helpful. If anyone knows other sites, please feel free to add.

www.bruceclay.com/web_rank.htm

Lots of good advice and some free tools.

www.mikes-marketing-tools.com

Some good advice, some free tools, LOTSA links to SEO related products you can purchase.

(I'm not affiliated w/ them in anyway and they endorse some of those products but maybe they get a referral fee, who knows. I've heard though that Web Position Gold really is a good software. I'm working with someone now who has it so we'll see just how good it is.)

I also use this site daily now:

http://www.prlookup.com/

http://www.trafficrankers.com


JP

Is it just me but none of the links (within the body) of Trafficrankers.com works (I am using firefox).. the links in the header/nav work, but to actually use their free service, I can't get anything to load up..

Some useful sites:
