Last time I shared a quick tip on how SEJ tools help to analyze your design . Today I am going to share another feature that allows to quickly collect your off-page stats (I say quickly because that’s actually the best part about the tool: there’s nothing there you can’t do yourself but with it you’ll save much time). Quality analyzer (the feature hides behind RESEARCH tab) is the tool that for any given URL generates the following report : The number of pages indexed by Google (as reported by SITE: operator); The number of pages indexed by Yahoo (as reported by SITE: operator); Backlinks in Google (Google’s link: operator); Backlinks in Yahoo; .EDU links (in Yahoo); .GOV links (in Yahoo); Domain age; Domain expiration; Google PageRank; Alexa Traffic rank; Presence in Dmoz. While I understand there are more similar tools, there are a few things I like about this report: Quick links to details (many similar tools lack this basic feature): click through to detailed results on Google or Yahoo; Easy scoring : I like it that 100 is taken as the maximum score, this makes it easier to understand how much you still need to catch on; Up to a point : only necessary information; it doesn’t list any extra superfluous info. All in all, that’s an easy way to evaluate where your site currently stands. Enjoy! Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal . Analyze Your Current Off-Page Stats with SEJ

Last week I came across amazing words describing how you should treat your website usability: A website is not like a house – people do not only come in through the front door. They come in willy-nilly, through the roof, the sewer system, the windows and the walls. This IS the nature of the web and you succeed more easily if you create a site that flows with that reality. ( Source ) So the first thing to do when analyzing how usable a site is should be to make sure people are able to easily find their way around no matter which page they first landed on. When it comes to huge websites, breadcrumbs can be a great way to help users identify where they are located. Here are a few essential things you should know about breadcrumbs: 1. Types of

SEJ tools have a very handy SERPs tracking option that allows you to track rankings of multiple keyword sets in Google, Yahoo! and Bing. But beside just monitoring your keyword positions, the utility gives you one more really useful option: compare your rankings with your closest competitors. Here’s a quick how-to: 1. Start by adding the keywords to the tracker: there are several ways to do that: Add keywords manually: go SERPs > Keywords and add one keyword per line or upload a CSV file; Analyze your on-page keywords and generate keyword suggestions from there: go RESEARCH > Research Assistant , provide your URL and let the tool extract keyword from the page. Now just select those you find useful enough and add them to the tracker; Analyze your domain rankings: go RESEARCH > Research Assistant , provide your domain and let the tool check your current rankings. Choose the words you want to track and / or improve rankings and add them to the tracker: 2. Once the list of the words to track is more or less complete, add your competitor(s) you want to compare: go SERPs > Competitors and add your competitor. Now, go SERPs > SERP tracker and enjoy a handy interface that will allow to easily compare your rankings: Enjoy!

If you are an active Internet user (which I bet you are), you probably always have numerous open tabs in your FireFox at the same time. Trying to make sense of them and find the one you need often takes time and frustrates. So in this SEO productivity post I am sharing a few tips to better organize and quicker access your browser tabs. I have once looked at a few really useful FireFox shortcuts (as well as those FireFox shortcuts that are especially useful for SEOs ); so here are a few more to switch between tabs (Windows, for other OS shortcuts please visit the official page ): CTRL+Number ( CTRL+1 … CTRL+8 ) switches between corresponding tabs ( Unfortunately I often have more than 8 tabs opened in the browser ). CTRL+9 shortcut always opens the very last tab. Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Page D own : switch to the next tab. Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Ctrl+Page Up : switch to previous tab. Ctrl+T : open a new tab. Ctrl+W : close the current tab. Ctrl-Shift+T : undo close tab. Tab
