Website: http://www.seodigger.comArea: N/AHighlights: Keyword Research, Website Relevancy, Search Engine Optimization
This website provides a unique service in that it answers, better than any other service I've seen before, the question of, "What does my website rank for?"
Essentially what this tool does is pick up the first 20 results of Google or MSN SERPS for about 60,000,000 keywords.

After we spend time inputting property data into these tools of the trade we often think that is good enough for our marketing and promotional purposes.

Area: Non Specific
Highlights: Article Distribution, Blog Post Distribution, Free, Great for Active Rain Members
Two weeks ago I begain this Website Review Friday post. At the same time I had started exploring the potential of http://www.realestatevoices.com. The site appears to be in its infant stages or perhaps lacks some serious enhancements that could take it to an entire new level. However I've spent four minutes on the site and have generated about 12 visitors to my new Active Rain Outside blog. I'm pretty sure that as I continue to participate two - three minutes a week on … (1 comments)
