Free SEO Tools From Google:
Google AdWords Keyword Tool
The Google AdWords Keyword Tool is a wonderful free resource offered by Google to see the average monthly usage of any keyword you enter. The results are only for Google specifically since they can't determine the usage elsewhere. However, since they are the biggest and most used Search Engine in the world right now, it's safe to say if people are using a keyword on Google, they will be using it elsewhere too. The great thing about this tool is that it will also show you results for other things related to the keywords you enter. This can help you to better refine your search to find just the right keywords for your website, article, blog post, Search Engine Optimization endeavor, etc.

W3C Quality Assurance Tools
The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) is an international group that defines what standards should be used to ensure the long-term growth of the internet. They are the people who define what each element should be and how it's used. Because of that, they are a great resource to learn more about website design and implementation. They also provide a few great tools to ensure the websites you build are "up to par" and follow all the right procedures. This may not seem like a big thing, but if you website doesn't do what it's supposed to, it can interfere with people being able to use your website properly.
AddMe.com Meta Tag Generator
Creating Meta Tags isn't all that complicated. However, sometimes it's nice not to have to create so much of the code yourself. Other times you may want to incorporate Meta Tags that you don't normally use. The Meta Tag Generator from AddMe.com is a nice way to do all of that.
The only issue we have is with a few of the "Optional" Meta Tags which really should not be used. Meta Tags like "Robots" should be used VERY sparingly as they can actually slow down the Search Engine - Robots.txt should be used instead whenever possible. The E-mail Meta Tag should only be used if you want your E-mail address open as it can lead to an increase in Spam. Finally things like "Revisit After" should not be used ever as it does nothing but add more code for no reason.
