Web Review of “Bad Neighbourhood” Webmaster and SEO Tools

This site has an unusual title of “Bad Neighbourhood”. It is a set of SEO tools to help webmasters to optimize their websites for search engines. Here’s the link.

According to this site, it states that doing a link exchange with a penalized website can have some detrimental results. And hence it provides a tool to scan the links on your website and flag possible problem areas. (Link) I did a test run with my own url. And I realise some of the links I have in my websites are actually Blog SPAMS, some are REDIRECT URL, and it is stuck at a WAIT mode for a paypal link… Probably this program still needs some refinement for the stucked link which jammed the whole process to a WAIT status.

Yahoo Multiple Keyword Rank Checker is a good tool to check what position you are now ranking with some of the keywords you are aiming to be related with. (link) Again, I checked with my url and realise my website is not optimized with the keywords I am working with yet.

HTTP Header Detector is yet another important thing to look at when you are working with the website (link). This is the actual reply from the web server whenever a browser calls for a certain url from your website. Here’s an example of what it returns when a url is called. This is what it will reply:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 18:51:19 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Pingback: http://www.charleslau.com/xmlrpc.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.11
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

I think the rest of the tools might not be really useful for now in the site. However, the best tools to use in this site is actually Text Link Checker Tool, Yahoo Multiple Keyword Rank Checker and Detect Headers. It eases a lot of work on our side to see some of the results which can be manually done for a very long time…

This site don’t seem to be fully supported by its author. I would suggest to use it sparingly until he works on it some more.
