Google Analytics - I actually found this plugin a few weeks ago, and implemented it into my blog. It’s quite nice because it automatically generates your tracking code for every post you create. Before installing Google Analytics I used the BAStats and found it to be buggy and rather inaccurate. So far I have been quited please with Google Analytics. However, there are many of you out there that prefer that Google doesn’t know your stats. I am told that HitWise provides a good analytics package.
Keyword Density - Last week I found a tool that spidered your site and came back with your keyword density. However, it had one major drawback—it only showed single words. Having a tool that shows keyword density on single words AND phrases would be quite helpful. Therefore, I was excited when I found such a tool at www.WeBuildPages.com. There is one glitch that I am not quite sure how to get past. When I did a query for this blog I found that the number 8217 showed at the top of all my lists. In case you are wondering the number 8217 is computer language for apostrophe. Yet, it’s not such a glitch that I wouldn’t use the tool.

I was really excited about checkranking.com’s keyword suggestion tool when I first checked it out. But I tried it and I think that it may be showing inaccurate information.
For the keyword buy Nintendo wii it showed this info
Count: 17091
Keywords: buy nintendo wii
Actual Competitors: 542
Competing Adwords:0
But when I Googled it, it showed that there were over 60 competing Adwords ads.
Am I confused about the purpose of the competing Adwords feature or is it really just showing inaccurate information?
