A lot of the time I am asked for a list of the tools I use and what they do for SEO. It is a trade so you will need tools just like if you were an auto mechanic. The fact is that a lot of tools out there duplicate eachother so I don't really mention specific brands of tools but I will give you some info on what types of tools you will need to do SEO.
The first tool I use any time I am doing any SEO project is a keyword tool. There are tools like Good Keywords, The Google Adwords Keyword Tool and even Wordtracker. I really think anything in terms of keyword research that you pay for is a waste of money. All I look for is how many searches a term gets a month, then from there I can decide if I want to spend the time targeting it or not.
The next thing I like to recommend is a tool that builds links. This might be a tool like a BLOG commenting tool, and article submission tool, or some other method that brings in a lot of links. You can find all kinds of options for these tools on the internet. There are social bookmarking tools, tools that will find BLOGs for comments, and even complete courses on building links.
The next tool that I think you will use the most is a tool that tells you where you rank in Google. I use a free tool that will tell you where you rank in Google as long as you are in the top 1000. This tool is free and it is an excellent thing because I can literally monitor where my pages are in Google and see any progress or results from search engine work I have done.
To conclude there are a lot of tools for SEO and you have to wade through the sales letters to find out if they will truly help you. Most people that sell SEO tools are SEOs and internet marketers themselves and they make money by selling their tool. Make sure the tool is of value to your methods of SEO before spending the money. Like I said earlier I really thing courses on link building are your best deal.
