  2. I downloaded the show, thanks for sharing. I was actually using most of the SEO tools mentioned here, apart from a couple. Nice coverage overall, will be looking forward to next episodes too.

  3. This post is really helpful. It is like quality check list useful at final check point. Sometimes I wonder how to learn all these 136 SEO tools. I just looked for how dofollow or nofollow would effect the SEO & SEM. I agree dofollow blogs are abused by non related comments that add nothing to the post itself. I am interested to see this topic in “SEO Concerns”. I feel explanation about this topic adds value to the forthcoming posts. Regards.

  4. Many thanks for the great SEO tools not sure if you are aware of these tools but they are also pretty good www. backlinkwatch.com/index.php and www. linkdiagnosis.com
