SEO Elite 4 Software Review + Free SEO Tools

September 16th, 2008 at 03:46am Under Free SEO Advice+ Product Reviews+ SEO

I’ve been an SEO consultant for about 8 years (with 2 years before that running a ecommerce store that I cut my SEO teeth on) and for several of those years I’ve been using SEO Elite (bought it within 6 weeks of it’s release) and as a professional SEO consultant I recommend this SEO software to other SEO consultants who spend a LOT of their time doing SEO analysis.

I would not generally recommend SEO Elite to the average webmaster since a lot of what SEO Elite does can be achieved for free: there’s a LOT of very good free SEO tools and free SEO software these days.

This post is based on a thread (Re: My Google Page Rank is 4) in the NG alt.internet.search-engines and a request for help in the comments at SEO Expert page.

Original poster asked about his 3-4 month old site www.cre8ivemind.com, with a PR4 home page, but no pages indexed in Google despite using Google site map.

Confirmed with the Google toolbar the home page was indeed PR4.

Confirmed with a link:http://www.domain.com/ search in Google that the site had backlinks (5 backlinks) did the same with Yahoo, though Yahoo has changed it’s link: format recently and sometimes it doesn’t work (used to work with any site including deleted ones!)! Yahoo showed 113 backlinks.

The owner of the Locus Optimus (Els) is a web designer who focuses on accessibility based web design, a growing niche market due to recent web site accessibility legislation.

Some Free SEO Advice

If she came to me as a client with the primary goal of accessibility since that’s her niche market in web design and compromising accessibility would damage the sites credibility (I have SEO clients with similar needs, and you are a pain in the neck ) my optimization advice would be as follows.

SEO Consultant Ranking

July 17th, 2006 at 10:53am Under Free SEO Advice+ SEO

Was reading a post on alt.internet.search-engines (newsgroup) called “SEO certification” which had gone a little off topic, had gone on to basically how to show you are a good SEO consultant by showing your rankings (SERPs). I started to respond, but thought it would be better on the SEO section of the blog (some new much needed SEO content)-

Someone said to show you are a good SEO consultant make a site that ranks well for some SERPs. Another poster (a self proclaimed ethical SEO expert) agreed rankings is the way to go giving a easy SERP as an example and that got me started-
