Are Free SEO tools any Good?
Looking at the value of Free SEO Tools

The simple answer to this question is yes! I am certain in your quest for achieving better SEO you have come across hundreds (if not thousands) of expensive SEO tools that claim to give phenomenal SEO results. Some of these tools occasionally deliver on that promise, but one thing that is certain, there isn’t a single tool by itself that will give the awesome results that you are looking for.

To get great results on search engines, you will have to undertake a series of different activities, that when combined, will give you the results you are looking for. So the simple truth is that you will require a number of SEO tools to help you achieve good results.

Buying a number of good tools can be an extremely expensive process and in terms of the financial return you may achieve, it will probably be less than the money you spent on all these tools.

A prudent and extremely cost effective method of establishing what will work for you is to take advantage of the powerful SEO tools that are actually free. A number of these free tools are just as effective as the ones you pay good money for. Over time, experience and results will indicate to you what types of tools are most effective for your circumstances and you can narrow down your requirements. If you still feel the need for paying for software, then you can make an informed decision and get better bang for your SEO buck.

From personal experience we can attest to the fact that the majority of free SEO tools that we use are as good, if not better than paid equivalents. There are a couple of programs that we have paid for and still use, but these were very inexpensive and have paid for themselves a thousand times over.

How can a good SEO tool be free?
There are two kinds of free SEO tools available. A free download trial (that usually lasts 1 or 2 months) and a free no questions asked version. Firstly, let’s look at the free trial versions. Some of these tools you will only need to use once or twice (eg mass link submission) and as such, it costs you nothing. You may find that as you add more websites to your portfolio that you are generating income and that you can afford the outlay (usually less than $100) if you want to repeat the process for your newer websites.

Secondly, the totally free SEO tools (and there are many that are a great quality) serve either of 2 purposes for their owners. Firstly, there are a number of people on the net that simply want to give something back. They have probably already made a stack of money and aren’t threatened by sharing their tools with other internet marketers.

The second reason is that they have a service or product to sell that is SEO related. A good strategy is to give something to potential customers in the hope that they constantly return and link to your website. They work on the assumption that a small percentage will purchase a product or service in the long run.
