Have you ever wondered what a search engine “sees” when reading your site? How many internal and external links you have on a given page of your site or the keyword density of a page? There are several “SEO Toolbars” that make it easier on the end user to see how their site looks from an SEO perspective.

Quake, www.seoquake.com, offers a free toolbar that allows you to view external and internal links on each page of your site, title and meta information, and the density of keywords on any page. This tool allows you to view the hierarchy of information on your pages in a similar way to how a search engine would see it.

Trellian’s toolbar, www.toolbarbrowser.com, packs the important SEO information into a button called “How Search Engines See This Page.” Clicking this button lets you see meta information and your content, as it appears to search engines. The display also calls out your heading information just as a search engine would.

Downloading these toolbars will provide an exciting glimpse into your site in a way you’ve never seen it before, and can answer some of your frequently asked SEO questions.
