the "myseotool" site - anyone used it?

[Haze]

HI

Just found this on a facebook link and was wondering if anyone had tried it, and/or had any comments on the service, if they have. I have just opened a free account and playing with it for a wee while... oops link here

[net-curtains]

I've just had a go. There are a lot better free tools available in my opinion.

[myseotool.com]

Hello. I am the owner/developer of My SEO Tool. I've been writing SEO/web marketing software for over 15 years.

There are no free tools out that come close to what we offer. How do I know this? I've been in this industry over half my life. I have tested/dissected every single major/minor SEO tool on the market.

Show me a free tool that is better then our tool and i'll give the first 20 people that post to this thread a free membership for a year.

So, if we find better software than yours available for free we can get a free membership of your worse software for a year? You really know how to give an incentive

If it is indeed worse software.

Not disrespect to the original responder but I have used everything under the sun and a free alternative that is superior to our system simply does not exist.

Personally I couldn't care either way. But I do find it very amusing when businesses chase down and respond to every negative comment made about them.

I'm glad I was able to amuse you 

I'm not sure if you own a business or what not but we've worked ourselves to the bone for almost a year on this. We like to set the facts straight when things are being said about our software. We eat, live & breathe this business.

I think you'll find it does.

For example (first one from my list of free tools), this site http://www.onewaytextlink.com/ offers a free, quick semi-automatic option to submit sites to 1370 directories.

In comparison, yours links to just 4 directories (one of them DMOZ) with no semi-automatic submission option, just a link to the submission pages.

Or for a range of free tools there's SEO Panel: http://www.seopanel.in/

I think you need to check out the competition before declaring your superiority in this incredibly crowded market.

Do I qualify now for a years free membership to your free service?

"For example (first one from my list of free tools), this site http://www.onewaytextlink.com/ offers a free, quick semi-automatic option to submit sites to 1370 directories."

Submitting to a zillion random directories will do nothing for your SEO. Google has algorithms that detect and discount this type of activity. This whole submission blast mentality has not worked for many years.

It is much more important to establish links with a few quality/reputable websites then to blast your url into the stratosphere.

"Or for a range of free tools there's SEO Panel: http://www.seopanel.in/"

SEO Panel is a very basic tool-based application. It gives you zero insight as to what tasks you need to perform in order to increase rankings. This is completely different from our wizard-type approach so it's like comparing apples to oranges. Tools based applications like SEOMoz or SheerSEO are much better then this suite.

We offer better free tools here(no login required):

I would love to give you a free account net-curtains....keep trying

That's not really an excuse for having only 4 free directories to submit to, and no way of automating the submission process. I don't use the tool I linked to to 'blast my URL into the stratosphere', I submit a few links occasionally with the option to choose from 1370 sites, and the semi auto bit makes it easy to do so. Either it's useful, in which case increase the number of directories to match that of the free tools available and offer more than just a link to the submission pages, or it's bad for SEO and drop it completely.

Additional Links only available in the Paid Version

Right.

You don't offer 'better free tools'. I can find any of those tools on other websites, and most of them are pointless anyway.

Rather than paying for your software (up to $79 per month),  I can find alternative (and better) free resources for some of the features you're offering, such as link submission, or I could buy IBP Business, which offers a whole lot more for my money and for a lot less dosh.

For example if I used your software for 5 years it'd cost me $4,740 compared to $637 for a full copy of IBP Business with free updates.

I like the way your software is organised and the reporting is good, but I still dispute your claim that "There are no free tools out that come close to what we offer." There are free tools that offer similar features or even more options. They're not integrated together nicely as they are in your system, but then again they're not costing me $79 per month so I wouldn't expect them to.

These 4 directories you see here are only a sample. Once you become a pay member we manually search out targeted link sites(not just directories) based on your industry and what market you serve. This is much better then submitting to catch-all directories. Not to mention if you auto-submit using the same content Google has algorithms that will discount these links. You have to vary your text(anchor, description etc.), this is the most important part of all this.

You are aware IBP Business only gives you updates for 3 months? Then you have to pay $99.95 for 12 months of additional access. Your 5 year cost for IBP is actually $499.95 initially + another 57 months of payments ($474.81) = $974.76. Desktop applications are always going to be cheaper then web-based solutions. There are no servers and automated reporting involved with a desktop app. This is true with any industry, not just SEO.

I totally respect your opinion. Everyone has different needs and requirements. The truth of the matter is that you can spend a lot more then $79/month elsewhere. Look at SEO Book, SEOMoz etc. Those are some of the best resources/tools out there and thousands of people pay many times more per month to use them. Last time i checked SEOMoz had almost 6,000 members paying between $79 and $2,000 per month.

I do. The software allows a selection of accounts to be created, so you can vary the information. Or you can change it manually and just keep the default setting for your email contact, web URL etc.

I personally believe the free version is better than the one that comes with your software because

1. It provides the option of storing your details for semi-automated submission

2. It offers access to over 1000 directories

3. It's free

I didn't read that bit, but to be honest most people wouldn't bother to update it every 3 months. Even if they did, it still works out at almost a fifth of the price of your software for a lot more features. $974 instead of $4,740.

If I run out of money and can't afford to update it again I don't lose all my information and can keep using the software regardless. If I stop paying your monthly fee then all my accounts and hard work are no longer accessible. And then there's the possibility that your company could stop trading at some point, or you decide to discontinue the service because someone else is offering a free version and it's no longer financially viable, and I lose all my data that way.

The truth of the matter is that you can spend a lot more then $79/month elsewhere.

I could, but I won't. Time spent manually submitting to a range high quality sites and directories via a spreadsheet or semi-automated tool, coupled with well written page code and top notch, regularly updated and promoted content will do more for your page rank than any amount of keyword tweaking.

p.s:

The Page Rank for http://www.myseotool.com/ is 0/10.
