SEO Elite Review
SEO Elite Review
I’ve been a user of Axandra’s IBP for quite a while and honestly never thought I’d have a need for SEO Elite. Well after seeing some of the things it can do that IBP and ARELIS can’t I changed my mind and took the plunge. The entire purpose of this program is to analyze incoming links to your competition, and to find places that might be willing to link to you. After all, if you can get incoming links from all the sites that link to your competition, you should be able to catch up with them on the search engines right? Yes.. If your on-page optimization is good that is.
SEO Elite allows you to check the links for several web sites all at once and select which search engines you want to chcek for those incoming links. This is important because MSN and Yahoo typically show a lot more incoming links to a site than Google does, so it pays to check more than just Google! This program also grabs a lot of information about the link pages and sites it analyzes. It will show you the Alexra ranking, Google PageRank, and number of outgoing links on these pages that link to your competitors. It also attempts to figure out the email address of the site owner, making it much easier to contact them for a link exchange. It will even check the IP address of the sites and filter the results to only show a single page on 1 IP address. This is because it is widely accepted that Google and other search engines track sites on the same IP address and discount multiple links from the same IP.
Another thing you can do is analyze the anchor text of the incoming links to a specified site. You might think that in order to rank for the term “purple banana” you’d want to get a whole bunch of incoming links with that anchor text. This is only partially true however. You may find that the site that ranks #1 for your target keyword only has a few links pointing to them with that exact phrase. The overall percentage of links with that anchor text is probably a lot lower than you’d expect. This can give you a great guideline for how many links you want with that phrase, and some other anchor text phrases you may want to try. Getting 95% of your incoming links with the same anchor text is a sure way to get penalized for over-optimizing your site.
There are several other ways that SEO Elite can help you, such as checking your link partners to make sure they still link to you. Oh did I mention that it can also send out emails for link exchanges for you? It’ll also find link submission forms. This program is very sweet and I am just starting to scratch the surface of what it is capable of. The only drawback I can think of really is that it is not cheap. SEO Elite is much less expensive than IBP though. I would take a bunch of screen shots and whatnot but you can see those here.
This is an extremely valuable tool in my arsenal now. It dramatically increases my effectiveness when looking for link partners. I don’t regret my purchase even for a second.
