Sheer SEO: Web-based Rank Reports

I have been using Sheer SEO's web-based seo software for a while now and I have to say it is a lifesaver. I have been searching for the best ranking software for a long, long time now and it's all just really slow, sluggish applications that take forever to set up. Sheer SEO's rank reports are done without you even logging in, all you need to do to see them is login. You can also have a professional account that will allow you to set up sub-accounts for your clients if you are an seo professional. They will have their own login and password and they can login to see their rank reports any time they feel like it. Best of all, it's fast and you don't need to open a whole new ram-heavy application to check rankings. Definitely worth checking out!

SEO for Wordpress

I use Wordpress for most of my blogs, which is a fair amount. It is far better than Blogger in so many ways, though I do use Blogger for this one being as the Google search engine seems to like Blogger blogs better than Wordpress blogs, which is no surprise as Blogger is owned by Google. We have struggled with how to make a Wordpress blog more search engine friendly an have found some winning combinations. MakeUseOf.com recently posted a piece about some plugins for Wordpress that can help you with this:

First up is SEO Friendly Images – as you can imagine, it helps you automatically optimize your images so search engines can see them. Search engines are not real people and they cannot see images. To index images they rely on Alt Image Tags which in plain English means Alternate Image Tags. You tag them and the search engines read them. Now if you have a blog with thousands of posts already what do you do? You install SEO Friendly Images as a plug-in, activate it and rock and roll! Let’s check it out.
