DazzlinDonna’s take on SEO news, tips and theories.
SEO Spyglass is a very nice free SEO tool
I love SEO tools. I check out every one that comes my way. Then, I tend to tell you about each of them. Today’s gem is a free (for now) tool called SEO Spyglass. This thing has all the info you could ask for when researching your competition. Where they got their links, what the anchor text of those links are, what the PR of the page is, what the title of the page is, the age of the page, and tons of other great info. Not only that, but it has built-in reports to analyze all this information, and you can set up your own reports (really easily). I’ve looked at a lot of tools, and this is the best one I’ve seen of its kind. It’s fast, easy, and packed with information. I’ve just found my new favorite SEO tool. And I don’t have to pay for it. Woot! I’d suggest you download it while it’s still free (and I have no idea how long that will be). But first, watch the demo of it. It really gives you a great idea of the power of this thing. Anyway, just had to pass along the info on this one quickly, because it’s a good one!
For just a $5 tip, you can advertise your site or affiliate link on SEO Scoop. Find out how.
If you are the first to "discover" any of my posts in StumbleUpon, one of the following categories would probably be the most appropriate to place it into. You don't have to choose one of these, of course, but based on what I usually write about, there's a good chance any of my posts will fall into one of these categories.

Would love to take you up on that!
P.S. this version of the software does not have a save feature, so that’s a mark against it until they add that feature (which they say they will). It does have a save button on the toolbar, but it gives a message that this feature is not yet implemented.

I tried this tool out and got very different backlinks for the site than with Backlink Analyzer. I picked only Yahoo on both tools. Also a few of the links were sitewides and I didn’t see anyway to filter that so I could get back more links from different domains.
Seems pretty useful but a little raw, thanks for pointing it out

A really nice SEO tool it is. It doesn’t bring any news in comparison to other tools, but it works really fine.
