SEO Tools from We Build Pages

Jim Boykin is a friend of mine and respected voice within the world of SEO, linking and informational blogging. I received a request from ReviewMe to do a review of We Build Pages, Jim’s company, and their extensive list of We Build Pages SEO and Internet Marketing tools.

If Jim would’ve IM’d me and asked for the review, I would have done it myself, but I’m honored that he asked via ReviewMe, so I’ll attribute their paid blogging review service to this post.

As a reviewer, I’m going to stay completely honest about this posting and will look at one of Jim’s useful tools.

Spider Viewer : The Web BuildPages Spider Viewer claims to show web sites the same way a spider sees them. Usually, when presenting to clients or people interested in how a search engine views their site, I simply turn off CSS and browser images, to show the simple HTML text based version of a page.

I think by doing so, the client, is usually hit by a brickwall of reality, especily if their sites are image based or using strange CSS techniques.

We Build Pages uses a more organized format, classifying the information that search engines are indexing including Title, Description, Page Size, Text, Outbound Links, and number of Words on the site. I would also recommend that they add a load time, based on a 56K connection, as some in the industry will tell you a page should not take longer than 15 to 30 seconds to load on a dial up connection.

Here’s also a rundown of the other tools We Build Pages offers:

1. Top Ten Analysis SEO Tool

Like I wrote before, Web Build Pages is a reputable company in search optimization and I’ve read Jim’s blog and used their tools for years. It would be inappropriate however, not to also list two other of my favorite SEO Tools hubs;

* SEOBooks’s SEO Tools
* SEOmoz SEO Tools (a bit more advanced)
