SEO:There’s An App For That
Posted by Emily Collins February 22, 2010Categories:Search Engine Optimization, Travel Marketing |
I’ve recently acquired a new iPhone and was astonished to see so many applications relating to SEO and online marketing. The prices range from free to £14.99 and they all differ in what they offer iPhone users.
Mani Karthik, from Daily Bloggr, has written a blog post on what he considers to be the top five iPhone applications. PokeSEO was the only one on his list that really stood out for me, but using my phone I was able to find some applications that I considered to be more relevant to the type of work that we carry out in our travel marketing agency.
PokeSEO
PokeSEO allows you to check SEO statistics from your iPhone. This is one of just a few applications that have the ability to check the page-rank of a website on the move. A handy backlink checker also reports on backlinks from four of the world’s most important search engines, including Google. This is the perfect tool to quickly check up on your online optimization campaigns and therefore would be ideal to use en-route to a client meeting.
ProSEO
ProSEO is an SEO content analyzer. In order to get it working simply browse to the page that you wish to analyze and press the analyze button. The application then prepares 14 different analyses of the source code. This includes a look at the title tag, the meta-tags and the keyphrase repetition on a website. Whilst, at our travel marketing agency, we provide a more in-depth site analysis to determine ways in which our client’s websites could be improved, this application would be useful in determining whether or not a website needed SEO or how competitive their competition’s website was in terms of SEO.
SEO It!
SEO It is a comprehensive application that includes elements of both ProSEO and PokeSEO. It quickly allows you to ascertain which keywords a website has been optimised for and so works better with websites that have been optimised. Unlike both ProSEO and PokeSEO it also provides analyses on alt tags and inbound links. In fact, the application covers everything that PokeSEO offers with the exception of the Google page-rank checker.
There are hundreds more SEO applications available through the Apple AppStore and these are available for a range of different languages and user capabilities. We haven’t had time to try them all out at our travel marketing agency, so any further recommendations would be very well received.















Thanks for the backlinks tip, but I am weary on how to use the backlink generator.
