Has anyone used IBP?

Instructor · 10-02-2008, 10:18 AM

Hi,

I recently purchased IBP and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using it. How would you compare it to some of the other paid SEO tools.

How is it for keyword analysis?

Thanks in advance.

I am using the old version IBP 9, have not upgraded yet.

Overall it is quite informative, with all the reports telling you how to make changes to your site or pages for maximum SEO effect.

But sometimes, the report are so detailed that i can't really do everything it says if you get my drift.

It prefer to use other keyword software in addition to IBP's bulit in one. Reckon it is more tailored for organic SER.

Okie dokie, that's my 2 cents worth, hope it helps.

cheers mate.

I love it. The reports are great and it is effective.

I have used it for a couple of years on our main ecommerce site and it works great as far as I am concerned. We climbed to page 1 of Google for our keyword phrases and have stayed there for the last 2 years. I attribute much of the initial climb to IBP.

To be honest, there is no reason to use SEO software like IBP anymore. It was great 3-4 years ago but a lot has changed since then. I am not saying that IBP is bad. I did use it myself in the early days, but there is just no SEO software on the market that can outperform my own data research and link development. Honestly, it's TOO EASY to get top search engine rankings these days. I don't use any software anymore and only concentrate on relevant content creation plus link building. That's ALL you need!

By the way, forget the word "Page Rank" too

IBP is crap and for newbies. Don't use it.

I used it when I was starting out, but it wasn't worth time. The features are not very useful for dramatically increasing your results, sure it is better than nothing at all but not worth the money.

V9 was good, especially nice reports for clients.

V10 is a dogs breakfast. It's a confusing mess now.

The new interface is an example of what not to do for ease of use.

Disappointing as I have the most expensive version and I'm now out looking for an alternative.

Under the hood it's good stuff. Usability = 1/10
