Position Gold Ltd is creating this introduction to illustrate some of the tools that we use. We have also made these tools available, for FREE, allowing anyone with internet access to use them.

Keyword Density Checker
This tool enables you to search for any word or phrase through a given piece of text and identifies how many times that word or phrase occurs. This is an important tool as it enables you to quickly identify how many times a keyword appears in the text. As we talk about in our FREE `How to SEO` manual, Keyword densities are very important. They enable you to rank highly within a specific field on the Search Engine Results Pages (SERP's). The keyword density checker lets you know the percentage of your keyword and highlights where it appears in your text.

Robots.txt Generator
This fantastic Robots.txt tool allows you to sculpt your website and restrict information that is shown to search engines when they are crawling your website. It is an interesting tool as it gives you more control over the website and gives you a sense of superiority over the search engine giants. This is an important Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) tool as it allows you to restrict search engines from viewing any administrative data.

Code to Text Ratio
The code to text ratio tool is a vital part of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) as it allows you to compare the amount of text with your HTML code. Within a website it is better to have more textual content than HTML coding and so this tool enables you to ensure this by creating a ratio. Position Gold hopes this tool will be of great use to you and improving your website.

Eye of the Spider
The eye of the spider allows you to view any website as a Search Engine would view it. Search Engines ignore colour schemes and pictures and just read the text. The eye of the spider allows you to see if any content is being ignored and shows you what content to focus upon.

Page Size Checker
The Page Size Checker tool enables you to see the full size of a web page, which is important as it is widely believed that no webpage larger than 30kb, will be scanned by a search engine. This is an effective tool as it shows you how large a website is, how much space there is left and whether the website contains too many items that consume space.

Class C Checker
Another tool, FREELY available on Position Golds website is the Class C IP range checker tool. Although it may sound dauntingly complex, it is really rather a simple tool. The internet exists of many neighbourhoods, some good some bad. By entering the web address of a website, the tools allows you to see the IP address of the website and establish what sort of neighbourhood it "lives" in. Position Gold hopes that this SEO tool will help you to further understand the logistics of Search Engine Optimisation.

Meta Tag Analyser
The Meta tag analyser is an interesting tool that enables you to see a URLs Meta tags. This can be used to see a competitors Meta tags and keywords. This is a benefit as it means you get an idea of what your competitors are up to and can base your tags upon theirs. The Meta tag analyser tool is another addition to Position Gold Ltds' SEO toolbox, enabling you to further understand Search Engine Optimisation.
