Are there any hot new SEO tools that I am not aware of such as; for keyword research or seo friendly flash tool ?

Could give you a long, long list of SEO tools.

But, which tools ARE you aware of and are you talking free or paid for SEO tools?

Well currently I am using web position gold and web trends but I am still looking for something new. So far nothing has really captured my attention. What are you using?

Good resource, Spiche.

Check out this hub i wrote. it introduces a free tool that is very powerful:

http://hubpages.com/hub/SEO-Optimizatio … d-Research

check this site WWW.SEOTOOLS.COM!

Once I was advised that all tools should be selected based on the task I'm to complete, all other criteria being of lesser importance. And I came to conclusion that SEO tools should be preceded by certain amount of knowledge and experience before making part of the toolbox. I discovered that among lots of names of keyword research instruments it is so easy to come across outdated, malfunctioning softwares producing wrong results. This is the reason some beginning marketers fail - they use what they've been told as a 'cool tool' without actually knowing where it diggs the data from, which databases are used, etc.

www.seobook.com this site also got some good tools

Ya, what they all just said buddy!  :-) I also have a powerful love affair started over at Squidoo where Squidoor'ers like myself, build a little Lens, like our hubs, with various neat boxes and other powerful stuff, quite similar to our beloved Hubpages, in how fast it can get you on Google, my secret killer SEO tool of choice.!  I typed "larrybass lensmaster" into the King and there I was , two days later, rulin' the roost, if you will:-)  And, All of it So easy, that I could barely believe my ol' eyes!

Just type www.squidoo.com/MyAmigo  into your browser  for your own little trip down memory adventure lane to-day.  With Treasure Hunting the main topic of the Lens and the art and craft of putting together a simple Lens, or even Hub for that matter, being focused on and tested. :-)

Warning!

DO NOT be afraid to hook-up with the Squidoo crew, my fellow hubbing friend. :-)

It links real easy-like to Hubpages and Google just LOVES them both. I couldn't believe my buddy's super fast results! Google Rules! Don't forget to send your Hubpage URL addy to Google too. I know you will be VERY impressed what that simple and painless piece of web-mastery wizardry .

Good luck in all you do.

P.S. Are there any other fellow Squidoor'ers in here, that can confirm what I say or not? :-)

Later,

LarryB

Lissie, I just visited the link you provided. I just need ur own candid words on this Qassia link, how helpful has it been to you as a member or provider? Thanks, Andrew.

To be perfectly candid Andrew  I only joined yesterday so I have no idea.  However I have published some "intel" an article really - it was easy enough to do - you have type tags by hand.  Your intel doesnt appear until 12 others have voted for it - but that only took about 30min and it appeared fine.  I looked as some of the top posters and recognised one of the helpful top squidoo people - which gave me some confidence. 
The site is very new - only started Jan I think and  very recently  out of beta - there is a first mover advantage on some of these types of sites - the longer I stay on HP the quicker my hubs get indexed and the easier it seems to maintain a 96 or above personal score. 

I have a new venture where I need quality backlinks - qassia seems like an option- if it fails  -so what I wasted a few words on it - in fact you don't even have to be original - though you don't get as much credit for copied material. 

Oh and they have a cute sign up scheme - I get more credits if people sign up in the next few hours -so hurry up:D - it is definitly free so you CANNOT be scammed!

Thanks Lissie for your kind and quick response. I love learning from people like you here in HubPages. It is good to adventure into realities. Knowledge is power.
I will get registered now, I love to read from you on further understanding of their system.

I appear to be getting more traffic from them than I do Squidoo - and Ive spent less time on Qassia than Squidoo!

OK I signed up, Lissie!

Did you add all your Hubs in the "my sites" section individually?

......now I've signed up, I'm wondering whether it's going to be worth it.   

Basically what you have to do is write articles.  You don't get paid.  Every time you write an article, you can add a link to one of your sites at the bottom - irrespective of whether it's relevant or not.  You can also list links to all your sites on your profile. 

What worries me is that although it talks about writing "intel" which could be useful to people, the emphasis is on the opportunity to post "endless links". 

The message I get from their marketing is "make a half-hearted stab at writing articles - or copy and paste your stuff from elsewhere - and you can post all the links you like".  That sounds like an invitation to the spammers and I wonder if the site will end up getting a bad reputation on Google.

Maybe it will -Marissa to be honest I am on very steep learning curve with SEO but I am convinced that decent backlinks are the trick for your own sites especially in order to get indexed.  So far the intel looks OK - a lot of its not of its great literature but I haven't seen any outright spam yet.  I think the people using the site are fairly likely to know the disadvantages of spamming - and of course "overly promotional" as HP would call it is OK over there.
