More Useful SEO Tools - Social Media Tools
(Page 3 of 3 )
Check out these social media tools produced by social media geeks.
Social Media for Firefox - To use this you'll need Firefox Browser. Briefly, the tool is made for social media geeks. It tracks rising stories on Digg, Reddit and other social sites. As stories rise on Digg, they are submitted to Reddit, StumbleUpon, etc. As stories rise on Reddit they are submitted on Digg, and vice versa.
The more hot stories one submits, the more "authoritative" his account becomes. This tool eases the process of submission so one can be first to submit hot stories and get more friends and social media influence as a result. Someone with many friends can submit stories for link building and marketing purposes (camouflaged, of course).
Digg Alerter - Watch Digg for stories and see which ones are dug or buried. If a story starts turning hot, you can then submit it to other social media sites and get perks for doing so.
Add This Button - This is a button which you can place on your site/blog and let visitors add you to the social media site of their choice like Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, Myspace, YahooMyWeb and all other popular social platforms.
Online Copywriting Tools
There aren't many copywriting tools, because you can't automate writing.
Style Writer - This is an extremely useful tool, if like me, you have problems with your style. This tool works as a plugin to Word, Open Office or other writing software, and suggests corrections to your writing style to make it more punchy, simple and concise. It's a good "coach" to help you learn to write in the active tense vs. the weak passive tense. The active tense has been proven to get more conversions online, so if writing is one your tasks, I highly recommend this tool.
We - We Calculator - Many companies are stuck with "we-we" copywriting, talking about themselves instead of the ONLY person that matter online: the visitor. Use this tool to check how self-focused your website is. A good ratio is 30 percent or lower.
Thesaurus - I use Thesaurus when I run out of words or use certain ones too often. After Ask.com purchased dictionary.com (which owns Thesaurus), they cluttered this tool with adverts everywhere they can, so I bet it's losing some of its users. It's still a good tool though.
Online BS Generator - Play with this tool to find out what to avoid in your copy writing. "We visualize strategic bandwidth to grow bricks-and-clicks niches, aggregate end-to-end action-items and to optimize extensible models." Plain language rules.
