Tips on the best free tools or techniques to promote your site

[ClaireH-184886]

Hi i would like to know after receiving lots of email about tools to help with seo and promoting your site and would like to know if  anyone has used any as yet. I have kept away from paid tools as i have been reading that they are a waste of time but would like to know your thoughts.

I would also like to know if there are any good free tools out there to use to help make your site better and increase traffic and if there are any techniques or sites that i should be using

any advice would be great

For site audit to find duplicate content ot missing title tags I use Screaming Frog. Free up to 500 pages, then you have to pay for larger sites. Using this tool will let you know what to fix on your site and help improve the site.

I'd check out some of the responses you got to a similar question about paid tools that may help you, in case you weren't subscribed to the answers when they came through. http://www.seomoz.org/q/has-anyone-used-paid-services-to-help-improve-their-site
