SEO 2.0 Tools and Resources from the Ebook – Part 1 of 4

You might have already heard about the SEO 2.0 ebook I’ve been preparing for a few years. Due to all the writing and preparations I have neglected this blog here.

To reconcile both parts of the SEO 2.0 empire I started disclosing the tools and resources I recommend below each of the 31 chapters.

I try not to overwhelm you with links and usually only add approx. two tools and three resources per chapter. Likewise

I split the link list on my blog in three parts. This is part 1 of 4, covering the first eight chapters.

The tools are must use tools, not necessarily new ones and tools you don’t know yet as a professional.

The purpose is to be able to empower all kinds of readers to achieve success on the Web.

Thus I added some “Captain Obvious” tools along ones you have rarely heard of. All the tools listed are free to use to some extent at least.

The resources are either easy to understand ones that explain what I said more clearly or resources that cover the topics in-depth in an actionable way.

They are meant as an addition to each chapter to dive in deeper into each topic. Over the years I fixed some links or added/removed some tools.
