I find SEObook.com to be a really useful resource for SEO, especially their SEO Firefox Extension, which when activated gives you tons of useful information under your Google search results such as who is linking to your site. You can use this to find out who is linking to your competitors. If they are linking to your competitors, they may link to you as well.
I just received the local Indy Chamber of Commerce magazine where they are offering discounts to members for “ChamberBlog” using Compendeum Software’s platform.
A bit of bold marketing claim in the copy: “We’re the only blogging tool on the planet that magnifies content for maximum search engine exposure”.
* my answer to the Question of the Week: What’s in your basic SEO toolkit?
=>> out source to those that offer “maximum search engine exposure” and I can’t lose 😉
Website Grader is one of the best SEO tools.
I would add SEObook, which has a pretty useful Firefox plugin that provides SEO information in your Google results such as incoming links, monthly traffic, number of delicious bookmarks. This is a great tool for researching the competing sites and finding out who is linking to them.
Hi John and Chris,

What are the best ways to show ROI of a company blog?
What are the best metrics to look at when measuring success of a company blog? Traffic, new leads, Google rank?
