Majestic SEO - Backlink Sitemap Research

Search Engine Optimization Tools

In the world of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) not only does Google write the rules, but they also give away a ton of powerful and free tools. I’m not going to go into great detail about each one, but they are all worth your time if you are aiming to do some stellar SEO link building and will help you out in extreme ways when conducting any SEO campaign.

  • Google’s Keywords Tool – designed for AdWords this tool can also be used to find how much keywords are searched for each month.
  • Google Analytics – powerful analytic tracking and data to show how users interact with your website.
  • Google Webmaster Tools – Offering additional SEO data as well as your site’s functional performance and search engine status.
  • Majestic SEO – Great Referring Links & Backlink insight.
  • Search Engine Reports – Provides ranking information for your website in relation to keywords in Search Engine searches.
  • Google’s URL Builder – A simple URL builder for setting up Google Analytic Campaign tracking.
  • SEO for Chrome – An easy all-in-one Google Chrome extension for seeing how a website ranks and all basic info on websites.

Another service that is not free, though worth the cost for many businesses is SEM Rush. SEM Rush is far more intuitive than any of the Free Tools when it comes to helping suggest keywords and giving a competitive insight.

Live Search 2

  • Posted On

Live Search 2 has been updated with new features, improvements, and important bug fixes – all designed to make your site’s search experience even faster and more precise.

This update is free and automatic for all existing customers.

Don’t own it yet? Now’s the perfect time to jump in — Live Search 2 is 30% off for a limited time! No code needed — your discount is automatically applied at checkout.

New Features:

  • Added support for exact match searches using quotation marks around parts of a search phrase.
  • New option to show a “Clear Input” button.
  • Added Replace Character feature.
  • Now supports two separately defined search bars on the same page.
  • New option to adjust z-index.

Improvements:

  • Index file generation now detects and ignores duplicate content, such as text found in every page header and footer.
  • If any pages are missing from the index file, they will now still be searched dynamically.
  • Index file data is now compressed to reduce file size.
  • Pages at https://website/folder/index.(php|html) and https://website/folder/ are now treated as duplicates and will not be indexed separately.
  • Search results container height now only stays fixed during pagination — it will shrink dynamically for new searches.
  • When searching custom sitemaps, the default sitemap will now be ignored.
  • The popout search results container will now automatically hide when the search input is empty.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that prevented custom text/language settings from applying correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where result descriptions could fail to display a local section title.
  • Fixed a bug that could trigger an error if suggestions were enabled but the stack was not published to the page.
  • Prevents form submission before the page is fully loaded, avoiding unwanted page refreshes on slow-loading pages. A loading indicator is shown until the page is ready.
