SEM
Check - a Simple but effective New SEO Audit Tool
By John Alexander
At our recent SEO Mastery Workshop
conducted in Las Vegas, Michael Marshall demonstrated a simple
but effective new SEO audit tool.
Michael is the original author, creator and mathematical mind
behind of the original LSI tool, ThemeMaster which Robin
Nobles and I introduced to our workshop students several years
ago with great excitement.
More recently, Michael's strategies on multivariate analysis
of competitive search landscapes has been making news on
several fronts. As recent as August, Michael has joined our
own SEO research team and has agreed to assist us with the
development of new training modules for distribution through
our growing network of Search
Engine Academys located in the local communities across
North America. Stay tuned for more news and exciting
developments in SEO training coming soon to a community near
you.
In the meantime, at our most recent Workshop, Michael
mentioned a simple little SEO audit and reporting tool which
he wanted to share with everyone so he ran a
demonstration.
