Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Spencer:

I use an open source product calledKeePass. It's a tiny program that resides on my flash drive. Very easy to use, and access can be password protected or you can use a physical "key" that resides on the flash drive itself (my choice as the drive never leaves my desk.

I can't imagine going back to the piece of paper method and having to manually type the characters in now. I just copy and paste and in seconds I'm in.

Hey Jos: I use a vector based drawing program (CorelDraw) and draw boxes with lines like you. I can highlight main pages by border thickness and colors.

It's probably not nearly as elegant as  Sameer's suggestions, but I've used it for so many years, it's as comfortable as a pair of old jeans

Thanks Tom. The problem I have with SearchEngineland is that there's too much info. I find that I tend to move on without reading if I'm short time. Now a "Readers Digest" of SEL would be great!

Hey Sean: The only thing about 301'a and Google that I'm aware of is that 301's do lose a little "link juice" But this would be from any link, external or internal. I've not heard of a difference in ranking between the two.

Ask them to show you what that "latest intelligence" is and have them explain their rationale. If it's the real deal, they should be able to back it up with something.

Hey Thomas:

When I first started learning SEO, I had dozens of tools bookmarked. But like others have said below, too much time spent in tools, removes the benefit of the time savings of tools.

My top4 tools:

1. the SEOmoz web app (wish they'd come up with a better name than that!)

2. Raven Tools

3. Wordtracker (I think it's a more English based tool though)

4. Richards keyword tool

I also echo Gianluca's desire to have historical backlink data in the web app sooner than later.

Hi y Kerem:

I can personally recommend three for you. as I own and have read all 3.. If you have to get just one then make it "The Art of SEO. It's written by a few co-authors, and our vey own Rand Fishkin is one of them m

Hi Petra: I'm hoping someone with mobile experience jumps in, but I remembbered reading a post from Cindy Krum (suzzicks) about mobile sites that might address your question. I'll have to just give you the URL as the Q&A text box is a bit wonky for my browser:

Richard, you are a Q&A answering animal dude!
