SEO tools in GNU / Linux

Undoubtedly, those of us who have a site (or several) published on the web are concerned about its positioning (in Alexa, PageRank, etc.), since the better the position, the more likely to obtain new users who arrive from the search engines.

El SEO (Search Engine Optimization), is the process of improving the visibility of a website in the organic results of the different search engines, and to use it, several aspects must be taken into account.

My goal is not to cover them all, as they are enough to take into account. My goal is to show some of the tools to GNU / Linux that allow us to review our website in search of errors whose solution gives us better positioning.

If you want to get good tips for the SEO positioning of your website, we recommend that you visit SEONatural.net or stop by here For more information, although of course, we can rely on some applications to achieve it.

Applications to check our SEO

Let's start with the applications that we have available in the repositories.

KDE SC, has among its applications a call KLinkStatus, which will indicate in red color, the broken or badly constructed links of the URL that we want:

The fact that the links are well built and not broken is very important for SEO. In fact, it is recommended that you place the most important and search-meaningful keywords in it.

If we want a little more powerful tools, or with other functionalities, we can start thinking about LinkAssistant, which we can download for free to GNU / Linux.

LinkAssistant It offers us many options, including checking that the links work, SEO quality control, site registration date, anchored links and many more options.

It is one of the most powerful tools that we can use, but not the only one. There is another candidate (very good too) written in Java called Screaming Frog SEO Spider.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider weighs around 300Kb and is available in .deb, which does not prevent us from using it in ArchLinux (or other distribution), if we do the following:

1- We download the file from this link.
2- We unzip it using Ark, File-Roller, etc.
3- Unzip the data.tar.gz file
4- Let's go to the resulting folder usr / bin / share / screamingfrogseospider /
5- We execute the application with the command:

java -jar ScreamingFrogSEOSpider.jar

And these are just some of the tools that we can use. There are others, so if you know any you can tell us in the comments.
