SEOElite Review:

Overview: There are a few search optimization products currently on the market. I have tried several of the top names and SEOElite is the leader in innovation and the approach to develop deep links for your site.

Search Engine Optimization Background:

Historically no one really knows for sure what goes into the various search engine algorithms, what is known is that sites that have a) relevant and unique subject matter content, b) many links from well ranked sources from similar or relative topics, rank well on the top sites such as Google, MSN and Yahoo. There are numerous other factors such as length of time active and frequent content changes also make sites rank higher in the search results listings. All of the aforementioned factors and then some make up the proprietary ranking models that are used by the major search engines and indices.

For at least the past ten years there have been several companies that have focused on developing either services or software that promise higher rankings. High rankings are critical to small and home based businesses because organic listings within the search engines do not cost anything and provide high quality targeted traffic. Whereas larger better funded companies can spend the appropriate amount on targeted advertising.

Any SEO program that mass solicits other sites for links is basically doing you a disservice as irrelevant links will not help your rankings and may in fact penalize you. SEOElite takes a unique approach by helping you find targeted links by evaluating your top competitors, by understanding what backlinks they have in relationship to other linking partners.

Once you have found the appropriate text terms know as anchors you can then find where they are linked to. At this point SEOElite can create an email to send to an individual at that site and request a link exchange. SEOElite will then create a links page for you.

This is the right way to build link relationships. Any other method may cost you in terms of listing and/or relationships.

Ease Of Use: 8 out of a possible 10

The SEOElite interface is clean and simple. You know exactly where to start and what your options are:

Step 1, is your program directive, this where you direct the software to the task at hand. There are 8 different tasks that you can do.

• Analyzing backlinks on any site, This step automates the process that could take you hours 
• Get links to Your Website (Automated email function, huge time saver!) 
• Analyze the Anchor, Title and Text links of any site, Even if you knew how to do this it would take an enormous amount of your time. 
• Verify that requested link partners are linking back to your site, another tedious task automated by SEOElite  
• Find where your site is ranked for a given keyword(s), 
• Find out how many pages are indexed, 
• Find possible authority sites (This is an extremely important function in the ranking process. Having "authority sites" link back to you is critical in your ranking and listing, and the last item is 
• Submitting your own articles to directories, again critical in gaining backlinks to your site. 

Customer Service/Support: 9 out of a possible 10

Bryxen Software also publishes another reviewed software KeyWord Elite between both of these programs I have received close to a dozen free upgrades/updates. This is a professionally managed company that obviously takes pride in their product line. The software was easy to set up and there is a responsive Help Desk function for the software.

Overall Rating: 9 out of a possible 10

If you are serious about getting organic listings in the major search engines you need to have optimization software unless you have an unlimited supply of money then you can buy your way into the top. Seriously though, I don't think that you can afford not to have search engine optimization software because it has become so competitive. The question I posed at the beginning of this review was:

Is this tool worth the money?

The answer is a resounding yes. Considering what it would cost to hire a consultant to optimize your site, make changes and implement those changes not only once but over a period time as well, I would say that SEOElite is inexpensive in comparison. You'll save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. A first page ranking of your site in Google could be worth ten times that amount.

Many of the functions of SEOElite can be done by anyone with an intermediate to advanced set of computer skills, however it would take a very long time to get it done. That's valuable time that could be spent developing and marketing your products instead.

I personally use SEOElite, if you would like to see my results go to the SEOElite sales page and look for my testimonial and video. By the way, unlike many of the gurus that tout products, I paid full price for my copy of SEOElite and did not receive a complimentary copy of the software to review.
