If you're new to web development and search engine optimization, you may find this tool useful for ensuring your meta tags are correctly formed. The tool has two fields -- Keywords and Description: Keywords: Enter a short list of keywords and terms related to your site. The terms can be separated by a comma, but a delimiter is not required.
Description: Enter a brief description of your site and what it offers. This is sometimes used by search engines as a website’s “snippet” for search results. About Meta Tags: At one point meta tags were considered a relatively important factor by search engines. AltaVista and other older search engines used them to help determine a site’s theme as well as relevance to a given term. This is no longer the case; search engines now rely on much more advanced techniques to do this. That said, meta tags still have some life left in them; they are sometimes used as the snippet of a site's content in search engine result pages by Google, and possibly other search engines. It's also possible they still have a little influence with some search engines in determining a site’s content. |

What is the Code to Text Ratio
The Code to Text Ratio represents the percentage of actual text in a web page. Our content ratio tool extracts the text from paragraphs and the anchor text from HTML code and calculates the content ratio based on this information.
Why is the Code to Text Ratio Important for SEO?
The code to text ratio of a page is used by search engines and spiders to calculate the relevancy of a web page. A higher code to text ratio gives you a better chance of getting a good page ranking for your page.
Not all search engines are using the code to text ratio in their index algorithm, but most of them do. So having a higher code to text ratio than your competitors gives you a good start for on-site optimization. |

Use this tool to generate a simple robots.txt file for your website. This file allows you to hide files or directories that you don’t wish the search engine spiders to find. This generator tool is designed to create the text for the file for you; you can then make changes afterward should you deem it necessary. Generating a robot file with this tool is ideal if you wish to block certain directories or files from search engines. To use the generator tool, enter the required information below and click the button. You will then be shown the text for the file. Copy this to a file called robots.txt and place on the root of your website (in the same place as your home page). Imposing Restrictions
You may impose restrictions on which web pages to disallow indexing. By default, most users will want to allow all directories except their /cgi-bin/ directory, which commonly holds scripts, and their images directory /images/. To enable all web pages, select Yes to "Enable All Webpages," then enter each web page or directory path in the exclusion box, one per line. |

This tool will query all the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, Alta Vista, and AlltheWeb) when you enter the "site:" operator with your chosen URL. It will return the total link count for each URL.
You will notice that the totals vary greatly from search engine to search engine; this is because the figures shown represent the number of links that are crawled by that search engine (which will vary based on the size of their database). |

A lot of content and links displayed on a web page may not actually be visible to the search engines, e.g. Flash based content, content generated through JavaScript, content displayed as images, and so on. Basically anything rendered on the client side may not visible to search engines.
This tool simulates a search engine by displaying the contents of a web page in exactly the way the search engine spider would see it. |
