Must Have SEO tools.

Hey guys. I have a pretty general question about white hat SEO and any answers are greatly appreciated. If I am trying to rank my keywords in google using white hat methods such as web 2.0, blog commenting, etc, what are some MUST have wordpress plugins and tools to check competition and progress or to just overall help in this process?

 

Am looking for an answer as well please reply techies

 

The main "tool" you need is a brain and from what I see you don't have one.

How the hell , web 2.0s and blog commenting are whitehat?
If you build links {manually|with automated tools} you are doing blackhat seo.

 

Hey,

You dont need tools if you are using white hat methods.. just a rank tracker should be used..

 

You learned nothing on SEO except getting French Leads!

 

Here is a nice list of tools:

OP, you need two tools SEO spyglass to spy your competitor's backlinks and Rank Tracker to check your work progress.

 

Better you use the checker tools outside without installing the plugin into the Wordpress. e.g: ahrefs.

 

White hat SEO doesn't need any tools like that except maybe for Google Analytics for tracking. Anything that you will do to manipulate the search engine in your favor is not white hat anymore.

 

There are several tools available for blog commenting mate. You can post this in Fiver to get tolls in best price. And adding to the note. Google doesn't accept blog commenting as White Hat SEO. Try to have a clear idea about white Hat SEO.

 

Best tool we can heve is our brain and some language programing skills, and for check competitoin ahrefs.

2. work hard ethic

 

Well, for white hat purpose I would advice:
- screaming frog seo spider (Help with on-page tasks)
- this JS macros for meta

Code:

javascript:void((function(){var a,b,c,d,e,f,h,g,i,j,k,l;c=d="";a=document.getElementsByTagName("meta");for(b=0;b<a.length;b++){e=a[b].name;f=a[b].content;if(e.match(/keywords/i))c=f;if(e.match(/description/i))d=f;}i=document.getElementsByTagName("title");if(i && i.length>0)j=i[0].innerHTML;k=document.getElementsByTagName("h1");l="";for(i=0;i<k.length;i++)l+="<p>h1: <b>"+k[i].innerHTML+"</b></p>";g=document.createElement("div");g.innerHTML="<div id='MD' style='padding:0.5cm;background-color:white;z-index:99;position:fixed;top:0;width:95%;border:solid 1px #000;'><div style='float:right;color:red;cursorointer'><a onclick='document.getElementById(%5C"MD%5C").style.display=%5C"none%5C";'>close</a></div><p>Title: <b>"+j+"</b></p><p>Keywords: <b>"+c+"</b></p><p>Description: <b>"+d+"</b></p>"+l+"</div>";document.body.insertBefore(g,document.body.firstChild);})())

- this JS for headers

Code:

javascript:void((function(){var a,b,c,d,e,f;f=new Array("pink","orange","yellow","aquamarine","lightskyblue","plum");for(a=1;a<=6;a++){b=document.getElementsByTagName("h"+a);for(c=0;c<b.length;c++){d=b[c];e=d.style;e.backgroundColor=f[a-1];e.border="1px solid black";e.color="black";d.innerHTML="H"+a+" "+d.innerHTML;}}})())

- MOZ
- Magestick Seo
- Imacros

 

The idea is simple my friend, build manual links, and when you know what works best, look for a tool that can help you automate what you were doing manually.
