of the “Cool” Tools we recommend you use when doing research for your

This is a search engine optimization metric service. It provides
information on relative importance and visibility of a website.
We like it, because the initial search is free.
Customer Focus Calculator http://www.futurenowinc.com/wewe.htm
This has got to be one of my favorite cool tools. It analyzes a Web
page and lets you know if the Web page is focused on you or on your
customers. After all, shouldn't our Web pages be written for our
customers . . . not ourselves?
Search Engine Optimization Tools http://www.webconfs.com
This site has three different tools that are really cool. One is a
Search Engine Spider Simulator, which displays exactly what a spider
would see when it visits your page.
Backlink Checker http://www.searchenginegenie.com/google-back-link-checking.html
Another free tool is the Google Backlink Checker, which lets you know
who's linking to your site and what link text they're using. The last
tool is the Similar Page Checker. We all know that "duplicate content"
is a no no. This neat tool will determine the similarity between two
pages.
Page Rank Checker http://www.searchenginegenie.com/search-engine-page-rank-checking.php
Are you interested in checking your Google Page Rank? All you have to do is click the link.
Search Engine Marketing Tools http://www.marketleap.com/services/freetools/default.htm
Our favorite tool on this page is the Link Popularity-Check. Enter your
URL and up to three comparison URLs, and the site will let you know
what your link popularity is in AllTheWeb, AltaVista, Google, Inktomi,
and MSN. It also compares your site's link popularity to other URLs you
listed as well as other sites on the Net. The Search Engine Saturation
tool determines how many pages a given search engine has in its index
for your Web site. You can compare your site to five other sites with
this tool. Finally, the Keyword Verification Tool checks to see if your
page is in the top three pages of a search engine's results for a
certain keyword or keyword phrase.
Website Security Report http://security.computer-concierge.net/sec...rity_report.asp
This very cool tool lets you find out how secure your Web site is.

Gibson Research Corporation offers a really neat (and free) tool for
checking the security of your computer: ShieldsUp. Scroll down on the
page to the Hot Spots area, where you'll find the link to ShieldsUp. Be
sure to go through each of the checks in the ShieldsUp section (File
Sharing, Common Ports, etc.).
Reverse DNS Lookup http://remote.12dt.com/rns/
This service converts an IP address to the host name by searching domain name service tables.
Doctor HTML http://www2.imagiware.com/RxHTML/
Click on Single Page, and the free service will analyze your Web page
based on document structure, image syntax, table analysis, browser
support, verify hyperlinks, and much more.
GifBot by NetMechanic http://www.netmechanic.com/accelerate.htm
GifBot will compress your GIF, JPEG, and animated GIF images by
decreasing the file size without sacrificing the quality of the image.
So, your pages load faster!

This online service allows you to test Web pages to help expose and
repair barriers to accessibility and encourage compliance with existing
accessibility guidelines. It's very important to make sure your Web
pages are accessible for those who surf the Internet with disabilities.
AnyBrowser.com Screen Size Tester http://anybrowser.com/ScreenSizeTest.html
Have you ever been to a Web site and not been able to scroll to the
bottom of the page? The scroll bar is there, but you can't get down
that far to scroll. It's not a pleasant experience. At the Screen Size
Tester, you can test your Web pages in different screen resolutions so
that you can be assured that all of your visitors can view your site in
its entirety.
Anti-Spam and Security Fix for FormMail.pl Script http://mailvalley.com/formmail/
"Formmail.pl, one of the most-used Perl scripts on the Web, is designed
to send data entered into a Web-form to an e-mail address. This script
could be exploited by a malicious user who could use Formmail as a spam
server. If you use this script, spammers may be able to use it to send
spam freely using your server's resources." This site offers a patched
version that prevents the script from being used by spammers.
