It’s been a while (probably 3 weeks) that I haven’t blogged anything because I was on holiday in Spain and Portugal for 2 weeks, and this week I was busy preparing the relaunching of our company’s website. Our company is a web design company, this re-design was planned since 1 year ago, but never got it done due to huge amount of work for clients.

SEO is really important no matter if your website is in development process, in maintenance or in re-launching stage, there are many factors to be considered and checked carefully, not only for the sake of SEO, but also for your website and customers.

So here are some useful SEO tips for re-launching the website, some of them may seem obvious, but they are often overlooked.

No doubt that Yahoo! Site Explorer is still the most popular Free backlink analysis tool in the world, but along with Microsoft’s acquisition of Yahoo search, webmasters clearly concern how Microsoft is going to deal with YSE. With SEOmoz’s dedication on Search Engine Optimisation, they created LinkScape, a great alternative to YSE. It also provides something that YSE doesn’t, such as mozRank, mozTrust, Anchor Text and how much trust an inbound link passes, these metrics can greatly help you to analyse the importance of back links.
