Hi,

Has anyone seen this product? I just got a promo to try it. They mention nothing about cost, but it is free to use. I'm guessing that after you install it, you are given info on what an extended license will cost.

The free version doesn't seem to have any restrictions so I'm not sure the benefits of getting a license.

Anyway, the promo page lists these elements:
- Rank Tracker
- SEO Auditor
- SEO Spyglass
- Link Assistant

It sounds good. Just wondering if anyone has tried it. If it does all they claim in the download page, it'd be invaluable - especially since it's free.

Any thoughts?

Sylvia

    This page details the differences among the Free, Pro, and Enterprise editions. You'll see there are quite a few restrictions in the free version.

      Thanks Jan,

      It looks like the free version provides a good try-out. Price is steep, though.

      Do you use it, and do you have any opinions on its effectiveness, ease of use, quality of results, etc?

      Thanks.

        Nope, I don't use it. I just posted this because you said you couldn't find pricing or feature info.

          Thank you for your replies.

          I wonder then. Can any of you help me with the query in this thread:

          http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...help-fast.html

          It seems no one has any answers for me.

          If you could help me figure those things out, I'd appreciate it.

          Jan...

          Actually, I wasn't looking for pricing. I just happened to notice that no mention was made on the download page. The free version is fine until I try it out and see what it can do.

          Mostly, I was interested in knowing what people thought of it.

            I have it and have been pretty pleased with it so far. Like the rest, I use Ranktracker and the Seo Spyglass mostly. I've just started using the auditor and, like you, have had trouble interpreting all the information it provides. :confused: Right now that module has not been that useful.

              When I went to download the program, it brought up a message stating that my system did not meet all the requirements. I'm not sure what that means, since I have Windows XP, recent version of Firefox and IE8. Unless having Windows XP Pro is not enough - it has to be a newer version? Mine dates back to 2002.

              Still, I was able to run the program but it kept locking up on me.

              I also found that after I ran one keyword report for one of my sites, I could not run another keyword report because it kept using the first site, which is a different niche. I guess that's what the license covers - being able to run more than one report without shutting down the program and reopening it.

              I was just reading through the specifics on this page: http://www.link-assistant.com/news/s...list-tips.html and the link assistant is basically what SEO Elite does. Since I already have that program, I can just use it instead, although I was having a similar problem with that program trying to figure things out. As far as getting links and submitting requests through the program, SEO Elite does that so I don't really see the need for the link assistant. But I'll give it a go and see if it gives me any new feedback.

                Yes, the unlicensed version is kind of quirky (it won't let you save any information for a project until you upgrade).

                  Yes, I did understand that from one of the pages Jan provided above. I wasn't trying to save the first project, but maybe the program kinda gets stuck on that project until you DO save it or delete it. I tried deleting it, but it didn't make a difference. I still got the same niche keywords. After I shut it down and restarted it, it worked fine.

              Hi Sylvia,
              I am writing this as an affiliate and paid user of the SEO power suite product. The product is great and you should buy it as a bundle, if you follow the instructions it should pay for itself in under 60 days for a newbie type user. I will warn you that the free version has some great tools, however you have to use most of them without being able to save your jobs, copy and paste, print or use proxies. Saving jobs is just a big time saver plus you can gauge your sites performance. The proxie issue is very important if you are serious about seo, the software will scan every page on a website including your competitors site (website auditor), these fast rate scans can appear to be a DOS attack and the sites server can ban your ip address, having proxies installed should take care of this problem. If you perform several tasks and wide searches on several search engines all at once you will need to gauge your time between searches. If you like, pm me and I will send you a discount link for purchase.
              Good Luck

                Thank you for your response. I did get an email from them with a reduced rate of $199 or something, but I'm not prepared to buy at the moment.

                The few scans I have done so far on 2 of my own sites have revealed some very disturbing news. Namely, I am not ranked for much of anything, even on my 3-year-old site. Since the program has not given me any results to work with, I'm basically starting from scratch.

                I've been posting keyword-targeted articles, giving them the related tags, and writing and submitting articles with the same keywords. The resource boxes link back to the posts. Yet, I have no rank. The entire site is PR1, probably because the site has been around 2+ years and I'm credited with 1 keyword. :rolleyes:

                At the moment, I'm looking for some sort of meta tag plugin so I can make sure each page gets the proper description & tags. Maybe that will help, since that is the error I got for every single one of my pages (64) using the Site Auditor.

                As the tips page says, there's little point doing any backlinking until you get your site in top form with SEO.

    Hello Sylvia,

    I'm using SEO Power Suite for more than a year (as I write Rank Tracker is working for me ) and I am fine.

    Mainly use Rank Tracker and SEO Spyglass. These are two great solutions that help me to control both the positioning of my sites for keywords that interest me and all the backlinks that I create.

    I decided to buy a license for the entire suite so that I can use everything I need in my work and helps me so much. I am sure you will also appreciate the ease of use and simplicity in the configuration.

    Furthermore, I guarantee you have a great service software upgrade (in fact at least once a week I get an upgrade). Moreover, their customer service is excellent and every time thaqt Goolgle change something in the settings of AdWords the software is immediately updated.

    So I would recommend it.

    Essert I hope I was helpful

    Andrea

    I use it and love it. Like money79 I mainly use Rank Tracker and SEO Spyglass. The pricing for the bundle just makes sense instead of buying individually.

    Be aware that the license for the live plan is only good for 6 months then the software will stop working. You will have to renew your subscription yearly. Which is fine with me as the software stays updated and its a part of my business that I utilize. Alot of people miss that on the salespage.

    Hello!

    Since it's free, you should at least give it a try. You won't lose anything. But since it's free, it maybe low quality and not that useful. But it wouldn't hurt to try. So give it a shot and if it satisfies you, you should get a license so you can get their updates.

    Best of Luck!

    Power Suite is a good set tools, the problem is that it always comes as a surprise when your apps stop working asking to a renewal, while you were never told during the purchase that there is annual fee.
