I'm not an SEO so please bear with me.

I do however have a friend who is an SEO and she told me about a tool that will crawl your site like google does and tell you technical details and information on how google sees the site.

The kicker is, i dont know what the tool(S) is. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

According to a Google's Help Center (http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=745&query=lynx&topic=0&type=f)

Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site. Most spiders see your site much as Lynx would.

Lynx View (http://www.rankquest.com/tools/Lynx-View.php) is One such tool that will that will crawl your site just as Lynx would.(In other words Most Spiders Would)

I personally use OptiSpider to spider sites because of the SEO-related reports that are available once the site is crawled.
