    Hi Folks,

    I am in the process of developing application with similar functionalities as SeoPressor but with much more features.
    There are 2 ways of monetizing it :
    - Offering it as a free web application. People can use it without having to install wordpress site , they can optimize their on page SEO on my site
    Monetezitation method: Adsense, Clickbank, CPA
    Drawback : Not integrated with your own WP blogs. People have to copy and paste the code into their CMSs or static HTML pages.
    Advantage : Don't require wordpress site.

    - Sell it it as a commercial wordpress plugin, people have to buy for a license
    Drawback : Required wordpress site to install.
    Advantage : fully integrated with wordpress blog.
    What is a better method to make money between those two?If you were me, what route you will choose?

    Thanks a million!

    Offering it as a free web application.

    There too many SEOPressor like plugins so I doubt people will replace their old plugins.
    New release like Easy WP Seo and Wpseobeast

    If you want to sell it than I suggest you wait for awhile while the new plugin that was released just recently die down.

    Just my 0.2 cents

    Yes with right kind JV partners and promotion you can get that kind of UV's.
    Who wouldn't want a Free tool anyway?
