question, what's the difference between using the Google toolbar, and using the one at www.digpagerank.com? Is the latter more accurate?

I wouldn't consider article submitting software an seo tool. It's a promotional tool.

I like checking overture keywords also. Just to see how terms can be different from each keyword tool.

When I was doing SEO two years ago, I was using wordtracker and it was all the rage in those times. Not sure how popular it is these days.

Google toolbar sometimes doesn't display your green PR (which is actually months old). The real PR (internal) is updated by Google frequently...

If you want to know the live PR you can check using livepr.ezer.com

I think digpagerank is also a live PR checker tool...

I think Yahoo Site Explorer is the best tool.

I also have a paid membership to keyword discovery. Good for generating large lists of keywords.
