    SEOmoz.org has decided to limit Page Strength lookups to ONE per day, except for people who pay a tiny fee of $39.00 per month!

    Me, neither. Asking for $39.00 per month is absurd. They are biting themselves in the foot. Say goodbye to the popularity of "Page Strength."

    doesn't bother me at all
    they have a great site and have given these tools for free.

    you think you can get the traffic they do and offer tools, you'll see it isn't Free ;)

    Do you really need the PS?
    I mean, you can find everything in there on your own: backlinks, pr, alexa etc.
    It's probably not that hard to find out what algorithm they are using

    Hey, whatever. I'm just saying that we will now see the popularity of the PS tool quickly diminish. The vast majority of people will not pay that price, so it will not be mainstream.

    They are smart. I've started using that as a value-add to my SEO service. Crap

    I never said that I expected anything for free. I was just shocked that they went from $0 to $39. My main concern is that, unfortunately, most people won't be able to afford that cost, which means that the tool will probably lose its mainstream appeal. I like the tool, which is why I don't want to see it become less popular.

    It's not like you *only* get unlimited access to our Page Strength tool for $39/month. You get premium access to our other tools, plus you get access to our SEO guides and weekly SEO tips. We're always unveiling new features because we want the value of a premium membership to be high.

    Its a great tool and has become very popular but I think the price is ridiculous!
    What about the customers who only just want to get their page strength check and have tons of websites. If you want to provide good service I would at least give an option of paying like $5 per 100 arrangement. JMHO
