But sometimes, the best ones are those that are offered for free. Google’s Webmaster Tools is certainly on the top of my list. This browser-based web application from Google has ton of functionalities that can help determine your site’s condition from one end to another.
(2) Advancing from SEO to CRO: Using AB Testing to Maximize Conversions – I realize this contradicts the fact that SEO is a marathon and not a sprint, however I’m not talking about the process or the results, but the industry In a recent post by Matt Beswick he compares SEO to “trying to build a house in a fault zone,” and specifically that “by the time you have laid down the foundation, the gound underneath may have shifted.” I know often times SEO’s focus on the on-page factors before jumping into link building, but there is usually a lot of money conversion left on the table.
(3) How to Optimize Any Page for Your Target Keywords – This is more of a beginner post than I would usually write, but several friends at Indy Hall and around the Philly start-up community have been asking for a while, so I decided to write it.

In this post I will cover:
Getting Started with Keyword Research
Finding Related Concepts to Write About
Designing Your Meta Attributes
Internal Links
Next Steps: Off-Page SEO
Time-frame: Depending on the volume of content on your pages, this will probably take you between 1-2 hours your first time. You will become exponentially more efficient, but for the first time plan to set aside a couple of hours.
