Viewing Your Site with an All-Text Browser
Improvement implies a feedback loop: you can’t know how well you are doing without a mechanism for examining your current status. The feedback mechanism that helps you improve your site from an SEO perspective is to view your site as the bot sees it. This means viewing the site using a text-only browser. A text-only browser, just like the search engine bot, will ignore images and graphics, and only process the text on a page. The best-known text-only web browser is Lynx. You can find more information about Lynx at http://lynx.isc.org/. Generally, the process of installing Lynx involves downloading source code and compiling it.
The Lynx site also provides links to a variety of pre-compiled Lynx builds you can download. O’Reilly Network — An Excerpt from Search Engine Optimization
