The way you have written this post makes it more fun to read than just explaining in a straight forward way.

All the relevant information is there and it is interesting to read others take on SEO tools. Excellent.

A very nice take on SEO tools. I believe you are not saying we don’t need them (sorry for the double neg), but that they are only good if our mind is clear and focused. Great point.

@Tikku – inspirational? lol… thanks, had no idea it would be that…. suhweet! The main thing to to hopefully have folks think more about tools in the sense that they contain no magic bullets – they simply give us data points to hopefully accomplish the task at hand. I’m glad u enjoyed it and I hope it makes folks think… cheers for dropping the kind words.

@Eric – to me each site and each SEO program is unique. While there are tools I’d use on most projects, it will vary ultimately. And yea, without the knowledge to analyze the data, the tool becomes useless.

@Steve – good to cya as always brother Steve… hope to have some fun training together in the Dojo

@VCF – thanks for the kind words… glad you enjoyed it.

@Gabe – it is most certainly a 2-way street. One needs the knowledge to understand what to test and needs quality tools to get the desired data. I too love my tools… just try to make sure I don’t have TOO many which can cloud the efforts.

Nice personality in the post I dig it. I think its more of a two way street. I can know alot theory and best practices, but without the tools I can manage the data or refine the data points to support my theories. Testing is always critical, it helps support innovation and out of the box approach. Without the right tools I cant test JACKKK… nice article but I love my tools. I believe I can freestyle something easily, i am that good :) but my tools are my compass in the wilderness of billions of pages in the index.
