Old school SEO tools / software / websites

[RikkiD22]

Hey Mozzers,

I am doing some research and wonder if you can help me out?

Before Moz, Hubspot, Majestic, Screaming Frog and all the other awesome SEO tools we use today what were the SEO tools / software / websites that were used for aiding SEO?

I guess we can add the recently closed Yahoo! Directory for starters!

Thanks!

And of course DMOZ, if you are talking old-school directory. And the keyword meta tag (not exactly a tool, but it got the job done).

Wordtracker for keyword volume and Overture PPC for keyword value were my two go-to resources.  And WebTrends for the painful process of attempting to figure out what was happening on-site.

Thanks! I'll take a look at those. Exactly what I needed. If you remember any others let me know

Thanks!

Whats going on with Dmoz? Last time I looked the site was still live but I remember submitting some clients around 4 years ago and still haven't got a response!
