Premium Webmaster Tips and Tools

December 18, 2006

Netmechanic.com has been a top provider of Web site maintenance and promotion tools, as well as server monitoring services since 1996 — a strong industry presence for a period spanning one decade. Recently acquired by Keynote, the Keynote NetMechanic suite of products is one of the most powerful set of Web Tools available today.

I have been using their tools and have been a subscriber to their acclaimed FREE Tips newsletter since 2000.

Among the tools offered by Keynote NetMechanic are:

HTML Toolbox - discovers bad HTML tags and syntax that prevents browsers from processing your HTML — and prevents visitors - both humans and spiders — from reading your site. HTML Toolbox automatically fixes html problems upon request with one quick click.
Browser Photo - helps avoid display differences by showing you actual photos - not emulations — of your pages taken on 24 different browser and computer configuration combinations!
Server Check - tracks server performance and alerts you to problems via numeric pager, alpha-numeric pager or email to allow for immediate repair.
Search Engine Starter - website tools handle your search engine marketing needs quickly and cost-effectively. Automatic submission to 100 popular engines of your choice, and periodic resubmissions, requires just 5 minutes of your time - instead of the normal 8 hours it takes to submit to 100 sites. Starter also updates its search engine database frequently to create spam-free submission.
Search Engine Tools - A superb collection of SEO tools to help you achieve top search engine rankings.
GIFBot - GIFBot is a free tool that compresses your GIF, JPEG, and animated GIF images. Decrease image file size without sacrificing image quality!
HTML Tutorial and Tips - NetMechanic Webmaster Tips Library is packed with HTML Goodies!
Accessibility Information - The Web Accessibility Resource Center has a wealth of very useful information on website accessibilty policies, tools and tutorials.
