Web design and hosting firm Aplus.Net (aplus.net) announced on Tuesday it has released six marketing tools to help small businesses improve their search engine positioning efforts. The new tools, free for Aplus.Net customers, help Web site owners create more search-engine-friendly content while enabling users to track the results of their search engine optimization efforts.

The Google KeySuggest tool evaluates Web site content and suggests a list of search-friendly words to include in page content. Backlink enables users to create a list of the sites that contain links back to the target Web site to achieve higher search engine ranking success.

Four new ranking and statistical tools display personalized search engine position reports for major search engines, enabling users to store detailed campaign histories for later analysis. Google KeyRank Monitor is specifically dedicated to Google's search engine, tracking search results for multiple keywords over time. MSN KeyRank Monitor does the same for the MSN engine.

"SEO has never been an exact science. For many people it involves a good amount of trial and error," says Ivan Vachovsky, CEO of Aplus.Net. "The new tools automate many complex and time consuming SEO processes. We are proud to be the first company in the Industry offering such tools to its customers."
