Don't the gurus write their own tools or commission someone else to write them based on their specs?

Of course this is biased since I helped design it, but this software (which alerts your cell phone with new website visitors) and guesses their location based on IP (filters for AOL, yes..) is helpful for a lot of website owners and smaller web marketers. And hey, it's free:

Oh, and yes Mario - you're right as I wrote created this toolset with my pal in AJAX based on our specific needs - not really anyone else's general ones.

Firebug plugin for firefox is a great way to see the html and css of a web site while browsing.

I´m looking for a tool that count all website´s html files just using the domain ("domain".com). My goal is to know the total pages of a site and compare them to Google indexed pages, for exemple.

Could anyone help me?

Answering the topic, I think top tools are: Advanced Web Ranking, Google Trends, Google Adwords, Hubfinder and others.

Great post but, you forgot content linking tools like Arkayne. Its a widget that links your blog with relevant sites. Not a traffic exchange just a relevance engine.

For the curious: http://www.arkayne.com

Thanx for the post. I've heard also that some of them use Trellian, though I'm not sure if it qualifies. You tell me. And to pkenjora, thanx for the Arkayne tip ;-)

Microsoft Adcenter is free and has many useful tools for you to use, like how commercial a keyword is. Also, raw numbers instead of a bar. Check it out!
