Hi guys

Lately I've been looking for some powerful tool for tracking my seo progress
All the rankings, each page traffic, minuts/seconds visitors on the site
One good tool for everything.

Please advice me a good one that you use or know is fine

Thank you in advance

    There are a number of free, inexpensive, and more expensive rank tracking software programs out there. None that I've used will do ongoing performance metrics. Software like Google Analytics, Clicky, and others will all give you good data for those.

    SEO progress in ranking is pretty different than performance on different pages of your site. If you find one that does both, let me know.

    I use Clicky and GA for tracking. Always good to have a backup, and my clients like Clicky because it is user-friendly for non-industry folks compared to GA.

    I mostly use Link Assistant's "SEO PowerSuite" tool called Rank Tracker.

    Good luck.

      The main players are Raven Tools, SEOMoz & my company. Each service operates from a slightly different angle. It's up to you as to what best fits your needs.

      That being said, it all depends on what you want to track. If you just want to track search engine traffic and look at things like how sticky your landing pages are....google analytics will fit your requirements.

      If you have more elaborate requirements you may want to look at one of the services I mentioned.

        By the way, I need a downloadable software. Are the ones listed above browser-based or ones you can download?

        I know Google Analytics is on the website, that's why I'm asking...

    I think the SEOmoz SEO Software would do just all that in a single campaign. There's a 30 day trial on their PRO version at seomoz. org/plans

    Try Piwik. An open source alternative to Google Analytics. It's self-hosted and your data is more private that way.
