SEO Software

A friend of mine mentioned that I should use a program like:

WebCEO or something like that.

I was just wondering if any of you used software to track your results and if so what is the best one to use.

 

instead of software, we suggest organic seo stict to basics will help u a lot

 

I believe that softwares are good enough to track your results and get good data. I use many softwares in my daily SEO work. Some of these softwares are free and some are paid.

 

For tracking your data use Google analytic. You can also find data using IBP.

 

Though I'm pretty new here, I've already understood that it's IMPOSSIBLE to do SEO without SEO tools (of course if you're serious about promoting your site, 'cause it's just impossible to do hundreds of the necassary tasks by hand)

WebCEO (www.webseo.com) is a well-known tool, and it's popular because it offers lots of features (many of them are truely useless actually), but it's damn hard to understand this tool. It was developed by robots for robots - not for SEOs If you want to track results, you can try to use it, by keep in mind that free version allows you to check 5 keyword rankings max, which makes it pretty useless

I'd suggest using Rank Tracker (at www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker) for this purpose - the easiest tool I've found so far, and more powerful than WebCEO.

If anyone knows other good rank tracking software, please post your comments here (and please don't say a word about online rank checkers - they're p[retty useless as they don't keep history, and you can't even react properly on changes of your rankings) - these're just toys for those "I'm-a-cool-site-optmizer-guys" who just want to look *cool*, and not to get real results (no offense here anyway, since MOST of the people just wanna play SEO, not do SEO)

 

Hi pasSEOn,

I'd have to disagree with you on the online tools comment.

I use many good online based tools and in particular the ones across at SEOMoz for instance do keep history and allow reactions to ranking changes.

 

A couple of questions:
1) are these tools free?
2) do their free versions allow you to track more than 5 keywords?
3) haven't been at SEOMoz for a while - did they introduce rank tracker instead of rank checker already?

 

i have used webceo its little complex then it should be...
