A useful tool, with instructions, for analysing sites for keyword frequency.
The site for determining the right keywords. Often a revelation in proving that people don't use the search terms you expect them to, this is the best site of its kind on the web.
The (pretty much) complete alternative to Wordtracker (again)!.
Keyword Density Analyser with HTML character count
Very useful. Not only does it do the usual keyword density count, it tells you just how many starters the engines have to chomp through before they get to the main, indexable course.
Another keyword hunter.
Like, um, I dunno; what's similar to ontological?
PPC Bid Browser and Other Tools
Check those PPC bids to determine keyword worth - and more.

A combo of Wordtracker and Overture.
A freebie yet! Dowser, dowser, dowser.

Google suggests you try this..
Google Adwords Keyword Sandbox
Less complicated than it sounds - but what couldn't be?
Didn't go to Princeton, huh? Find out what you missed.
Another one where you enter various keywords and it spews them out in all their varying orders.
This is an uprated version of the concept.
The same old Google/Overture mix - but with twists, Virginia, strange and indescribable to the layman. Like a competitive analysis. Kinda.
Those very nice people at Keyword Spy have given me a free trial, but I'm way too busy to take it up! Ptooie! You'll have to see for yourselves.
Robots Tools
A Robots Text creator.
Make up a simple Robots.txt file with this handy tool.

Now that you've got the taste for them.....
Same deal really, just geared around the new protocol.
It was a dark and stormy night...the endless rain was beating against Windows when the office door creaked open.....the legendary Sam Spade set of DNS tools rolls up its sleeves, parks its Mac, tilts back its fedora, takes a slug from the bottle it keeps in a handy drawer and gets down to business.

A bit technical, this. See, when a robot software spider from an engine finds your site.......
A tad out-dated now. You'll no doubt hear of the term, though, so here's an explanation.
A lot of the free tools that are used to query Google use these. You'll need one sooner or later so best get one ASAP.
The Google Blogoscoped Neighboursearch Tool
Search for links including the anchor text you specify from sites you specify.
I call it "+" because it does a whole lot more than you'd think. Oddly useful.
This one has legs!

Just in case having a zillion wasn't enough...
Free and comprehensive stats from Google.
Basic but useful stats from Google. Should get you indexed anyhoo
The AFT for short.
To what degree are you optimising your pages? Always subjective, of course, but a reminder or two might be had from this tool.
Compare competitiveness of two terms in Google. You sometimes hear this spoken of as the Google Smackdown Tool. Sorry, Vince, but it does happen!
Compare competitiveness of two terms in Google. You sometimes hear this spoken of as being like the tool above but better presented and more true to its origins. Nobody say TNA!

The Keyword Cloud Keyword Density Checker Tool
Another keyword density checker, this site features the Keyword Cloud, a visual representation of your KD.

All kinds of page analysis, very useful.
What it says...
... on the tin.
You type, it squats. Find those elusive but sought after spelling errors domains.
Not really an SEO tool, more and SEM tool. A favicon can help with branding..
Bit of a mouthful, this one... is the page you're proposing to get a link from obscured by javascript, or rel=nofollow, or, well, anything at all? So you don't get any link benefit? Eeek! Check it first with this handy obfuscation checker.
Stealth surfing... can always be useful if you suspect that anonymous others might not be seeing the same thing you are. You'll never know you need it till you need it...also here and here.

Article Checker number 2.
The article checker from, no prizes, Dupecop.
The Brit version of Article Checker.
The where do they think are you tool?
You're trying to run your home-made burrito business from your front room in Neasden - but your web site just isn't ranking down Mexico way. Here's a heads-up; the engines prefer to promote local services over distant ones. Use this tool to find out where they think you actually are, then consider a .mx domain on a host server physically located in Tijuana. Vaya con dios, amigos!
Is your prospective link partner linking to somewhere unsavoury?? This tool peers over the fence and comes back with the skinny...
Professional Domain Researching - bulk queries, etc.
From toys-for-big-boys.com. Well, sorta. Expensive but probably an essential for the professional domainer.

Who does such and such a domain link out to?
FEEEED me NOW!!
