New Free SEO Tool – Google Double Listing Demystifier

The brand spanking new Google Double Listing Demystifier helps you identify the actual ranking of individual pages in the top 10 when there is a double listing present. If two pages from the same domain occur in the top 10, Google will automatically insert the second listing directly under the first with an indent. While this makes it easy to find pages from the same domain, it makes it far more difficult to determine what the actual rank of the second page is. This simple tool will help demystify the double listing by identifying what the actual rank of those individual pages are. This can be incredibly valuable as it will allow you to know whether or not your or your competitor’s second page listing is vulnerable because it is actually in position 10, or...

New Link Atrophy Diagnosis Tool

Hey folks, I am going to do my best to keep these SEO tools rolling out this week in advance of Pubcon Dallas, where I will be giving a solo session on advanced white hat techniques. The latest tool is a link atrophy diagnostic tool. Link Atrophy is the rate at which links you acquire disappear. If your site depends on links that quickly come and go, Google may not have ample time to index, identify and attribute links towards your PageRank and ultimately your authority. Considering growing beliefs among SEO’s that the longevity of a link’s presence increases its value to the target page, it becomes increasingly important that you rely on permanent link placements unlike some techniques (press releases, for example) that only generate temporary links....

The first tool that I would like to proudly announce is what we internally like to call the PageRank Recover Tool.

Using Real-Time Analytics to Enhance Viral Campaigns

One of the greatest shortcomings of most analytics software is that it is non real time. With Google Analytics, you can easily expect to wait 18 to 24 hours for data to begin to pull in from the previous day. Most server-side analytics runs daily, processing the archived logs of the previous 24 hours. However, when performing a social media / viral marketing campaign, it is imperative that you watch your traffic sources closely so that you can extend the legs of your viral campaign. There are a handful of real-time analytics softwares available on the web including Chartbeat and Visistat, for our purposes here we are going to use Clicky, the real time analytics software used by Virante when running viral campaigns.
