Useful Programs to boost your SEO on Wordpress

FileZilla - This is a free program that allows you to upload/download files to web servers like Godaddy.

The info you would need is the host name, user name, password and port.  Godaddy would have that info if you hosted with them.

SpyFu - This is a limited free program that allows you to check out other websites and see where their traffic is coming from.  You can get a lot more out of it if you buy the paid version.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider - This is a fantastic tool that you can run on a website to see stuff like broken links and things like that.  Just started playing around with it.   This was the program I used to find my broken links.

Pinterest - Adding a Pin It Button To Wordpress or Blogger

Pinterest is a new player on the scene in the social network space.  The website has exploded and is becoming a huge player. 

Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. Pinterest allows users to organize and share images and video found across the web.  Users can search for and browse pinboards created by other people to discover what other people are pinning. 

The Pinterest Pin It functionality allows you to Pin anything that catches your eye: cool pictures, great articles, or fun finds!  A Pin (basically a bookmark) can be added by visiting a website by clicking a Pin It button.  The Pin It buttons are similar to a Like for Facebook or a Tweet This for Twitter.  Each pin added using the Pin It button links back to the site it came from.
