This site features online text and html changing, modifying, converting tools designed to save you time making web pages or preparing text for web publication. If you've ever needed to capitalize sentences or convert line breaks to <p> or <br /> then this site can save you needless manual labor. There are other useful tools as well, like the one to uncompress html to make it readable and the ones to uppercase or lowercase text. Basically, the most common tasks that someone who works in an office or does freelance web development might encounter. Most of the tools have been created using javascript so you should be able to change large amounts of text as the processing is done on your computer instead of being limited by a server script.

Some of us have a great eye for complementary colors and matches--and then some of us still don't understand why brown shoes and black pants are a bad idea. For anyone looking to set an image against a complementary background or find a color scheme, Whats Its Color (their grammar, not mine) is a free web app that can help. Upload an image and the site creates a palette page with a complementary background and a list of unique and dominant colors in your image. Photoshop and GIMP gurus might already know how to sift these kind of things already, but the visible color matching could be a boon for presentation slides or small design projects.

UrlTrends was developed to allow Webmasters, Search Engine Optimizers, and domain buyers to determine a website's (or a specific page's) rankings in the various search engines and directories. Based on this information you can make competitive analysis of any website with another website -- and from this you could possibly determine whether your SEO tactics are positive or negative to your website; or, if you are a domain buyer, determine if a particular domain should be purchased.

UrlTrends was designed from the beginning to have a different approach to viewing link popularity and other pertinent information. The theory was that webmasters would like to be able to see their link popularity stretched out over time, not just for the current day. This unique approach to viewing the information allows people to make a truly accurate judgment of the website and not be subject to artificial inflation that the instant link popularity reports suffer from.

Currently, the Trend Report allows webmasters to view their linking trends for eight different search engines (Google, Alexa, Yahoo!, MSN, AllTheWeb, Alta Vista, Teoma and IceRocket), as well as the PageRank and Alexa Rank. A recent addition also allows our users to view the number of end-users of a website that bookmarked the website using Furl or Del.icio.us.

Dataopedia gives you a run-down of all the data it can find about a website. It aggregates data from dozens of sources in combination with a number of public APIs, and includes data about traffic, screenshots, names of people involved, WHOIS information, Google PageRank, multimedia links and embeds, jobs, office locations, and so on.

Somebody called Google's new Ad Planner tool "Google Trends for Web Sites on steroids," and that's not really an overstatement. Even experienced media planners will want to test-drive this gratis, information-rich planner program that lets you tap into Google's wealth of information and build media plans with just a few clicks.

Create or log in to your Google Account first, then start your research or build a media plan. Choose your country, language, demographic data, likely keywords and sites, then see which sites Google says your audience is likely to visit.

Within the application, you can click on a site and get thumbnails showing relevant data: how the site performs on your chosen demographics, by country, other sites visited, popular keywords, etc. Keep the thumbnails open for fast comparison. Click to view according to audience reach, best matches or composition index to further refine your results. [WDFM Annotation]

SearchStatus is a toolbar extension for Firefox and Mozilla that allows you to see how any website is performing. Designed for the highly specialised needs of search engine marketers, this toolbar provides extensive search-related information about a site, all conveniently displayed in one discreet and compact toolbar.

For every site you visit, SearchStatus lets you view its Google PageRank, Google Category, Alexa popularity ranking, Compete.com ranking, Alexa incoming links, Alexa related links and backward links from Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

The SearchStatus Mozilla/Mozilla Firefox extension appears unobtrusively at the bottom of the browser on the status bar. If you choose to view backward links for a particular page, they open in new tabs in the same browser window. Disable the automatic Google and Alexa queries and they fold away from view.
