Yea pagealizer looks interesting but it also looks quite expensive (free to $100/month depending on # of visitors).

Good compilations and reviews. Personally, I've been using Wordtracker for years, and give it a hearty thumbs up.

Google webmaster tools are great, but Yahoo still has some work to do. There set of tools seems to generic to me. But in the end its all about rankings, i couldn't care less what tools the big 3 offer if my site is ranking high...lol.

I have heard that search engine submission tools and services are a scam, and that the best way to get found by Google is to have an inbound link from a site that ranks well.

The general consensus is that you should never pay for search engine submission services, because there are too many free tools that do the same thing. When you first launch your site you will want to submit your site to the search engines and then forget about it and move on to building quality, relevant links to your site.

In fact a quality incoming link will get your site found faster than any search engine submission (at least from my experience, especially with Google). But don't just stop there, the key behind Google's search results are a sites incoming links (think of them as votes), and the more and higher quality links you can get the better.

Be careful though as there are some common pitfalls: 1. Don't just focus on sites with high page rank as a link from them is usually more difficult to obtain, 2. You need to find the right balance between quality and quantity (don't just get 1,000 links from garbage free directories and spammy sites), and the more links you can get from other sites in your category/niche the better.
