			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are no dearth of SEO analysis tools on the web but they only give you bits and pieces of information. SpyderMate almost changes the game by giving a meticulously detailed view of any website. It starts with giving you an overall SEO scorecard for a particular site. The scorecard includes industry standard statistics like Alexa rank, number of Google keywords, number of unique backlinks, domain authority, but it also analyzes all of these to come up with a specific SpyderMate SEO score that factors in all these elements. You can also see how the domain has been performing overtime for each of these scores.</p>
<p>The next feature of SpyderMate called &#8220;Auditor&#8221; tells you what issues there are, how severe they are and how to fix them. These are issues that impact your website&#8217;s SEO. You can drill down on each issue to view further details. Another feature called SERP Tracker not only lets you track your rankings in major search engines but also lets you do that for your competitor. You can also trend the rankings over time to gain a better perspective.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sp1.png?570cd5" alt="seo analysis tool" /></p>
<p>One of the most amazing features of the tool, however, is the &#8220;Low Hanging Fruit&#8221; part of the report. It identifies keyword opportunities,  and tells you which keywords have the most potential. You can also see how different keywords are being targeted. Moreover, the SEMRush report tells you what keywords a domain is ranking for in Google, what the search volume is, the average CPC for a keyword and which keywords are driving the most traffic to your website.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sp2.png?570cd5" alt="spydermate" /></p>
<p>The tool comes with a 30 day trial membership that is free, but right now SpyderMate  is  giving away  10 free accounts ( for six months each ) to our readers. The accounts will be given to first 10 commenters.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Get a detailed SEO analysis for any website.</li>
<li>See quantitative rankings and scores.</li>
<li>See how keywords are performing and get recommendations.</li>
<li>Discovery SEO issues and how to fix them.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a webmaster and familiar with what search engine optimization (SEO) is and how it works then you will know that on-page SEO is as important as off-page SEO. SEO Page Explorer is an online tool that can analyze a webpage by applying various on-page SEO factors to see where the page stands.</p>
<p>It shows the title and metadata, number of keywords used, links (both internal and external), HTTP headers and other technical details. It then gives you a score for the page based on the analysis.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/seopageexplorer1.png?570cd5" alt="seo analysis for a website" /></p>
<p>The only thing you need to do is enter the URL of the page to get the results. It won&#8217;t analyze the entire site if you enter the site address. Instead, it only checks the specific page (the homepage in this case) and analyzes it.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li> Check how good a webpage&#8217;s on-page SEO is.</li>
<li> No registration needed. Just enter the URL and go.</li>
<li> Results shown under various tabs.</li>
