Author: Mitch Keeler
If you think of owning your web site as sort of like owning a house, I am sure you would follow me if I told you that every so often you need a few good tools to do some home improvement. On the Web’s side of things, there are dozens of tools out there (some good, and some not so good) to get this done. What if you had the best of the best all in one spot? That surely would save you both time and work.
With that in mind, Lunarpages has launched a new Webmaster Tools section to help you with your own web site home improvement.
Ping Tool - Want to know if a certain web site is up or down? Here all you do is enter your domain name, hit submit and it will let you know if the web site is active and the ping speed.
Dmoz and Yahoo Directory Checker - Both Dmoz and the Yahoo Directory are both places you want your web sites to be listed at. With this simple tool you can check to see if you are there instead of having to hunt and peck your way around looking for yourself the old fashioned way.
Pages Indexed - This helpful tool tells you exactly how many pages under your web site that some of the top search engines out there today have listed in their databases. This way you can keep track of which one has been crawling you the most and which hasn’t see you at all.
IP Checker - This simple tool resolves the original host for a specific IP. Sometimes this can be helpful to locate a spammer. Enter in the domain name and it spits back out an IP address for you to follow and the status of the web site.
Keyword Density Tool - Want to know which keywords you use the most or the least to help you in the search engine optimization race? This tool delivers in that department for sure. You can get from 5 to 100 results for a single domain too!
Keyword Research - Need to get a few keyword suggestions but don’t know where to look? Type a phase or word into this tool and it will give you a great number of related terms you can us on your own web site or design.
Link Popularity Checker - So how popular are you? With this next tool it is easy to check. It tells you your inbound links for Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Alltheweb, Altavista and Sympatico.
Meta Tag Generator - Meta tags are still very important to many of the search engines out there. All you need to do here is type in all the content you want in your meta tags and it will send you back what you need to copy and paste into your web site’s code.
Page Rank Checker - The PageRank Checker checks your Google PageRank number to see where you stand. This is a number that many webmaster monitor - and the higher it goes - the more Google likes you. I promise you want Google to really really like you.
Crazy Egg - The CrazyEgg.com service gives you a heat map so you can see where people are clicking the most - and other statistical information to let you know where and how you need to focus your web site’s future (as far as design goes).
