Bruce Clay SEMToolBar

Bruce Clay has released 2 new tools, the first being the new SEMToolbar, something we have been excited about for awhile.

You can download the SEMToolBarhere. The SEMToolbar is a browser plug-in that can extract data from the key search engines being Google, Yahoo and Microsoft as well as other sources and then deliver that data in a variety of ways through the browser and search results. You can set up any search engine you like to check results in, not just the aforementioned.

Since we have been road-testing the toolbar, here are some of the features we have found particularly useful.

At the touch of a button. (i.e very quickly), you can:

From the SEOToolset perspective:

• Run the Keyword Density Analyzer while in the webpage you want to review
• Run a Check Server command to view aspects related to your server, including block-lists and cloaking checks
• Use the W3c Markup Validation Service
• Review the keywords and domains you manage

From a search engine marketing and search results perspective:

• number search results
• quickly check different search engine results without leaving the page i.e. move between Google.com, Google.com.au and then Yahoo etc.
• search from different geographic locations, seeing the difference in results
• set and view various attributes such as site count, links, domain started on and then click through to cache and whois data very easily
• assign colours to domains, making finding your search results very easy and quick, especially if you have a number of domains to monitor
• view keywords stats on search terms including daily count, click through and cost per click as well as monthly trending at a glance

If you are a SEOToolser user this is a must. If you spend a lot of time in the search results, you will get value from the ability to view different search engine results, search from different geographic locations and  from enhancing the search results with additional information.

Being a part of Bruce Clay Australia you might expect me to say this. Try it and you decide.
