SEO-oriented software options

[ajames2005]

Just after some opinions here on the above 3 programs. Ive been getting Brad Callens lessons on SEO and learning quite a bit as well as newsletters from Axandra but Im not sure which is the best software program out of these 3 to go for or if theres something else better?

Basically Ive got an ecommerce database driven website and I dived into this whole SEO thing a few months ago. Ive learned a lot and have had another company doing some link building for me but Id like to take it over now and do it myself.

SEO Elite seems quite good but its heavily focused on google PR and Im seeing a lot of people saying that this isnt really relevant anymore? If this is the case then it probably indicates the program is out of date and needs a revamp. Apart from this it has a few nice features.

The IBP/Arelis package looks good but is missing a few of the features of SEO elite and Web CEO I dont really understand at all yet :(

Anyway, if anyone can offer some comments Id appreciate it :)

Your question is a very common conflict that I had myself.

Web CEO is still a very useful tool for Keyword Research and On-Page optimization, along with the Hitlens tracking services and the submission tool it is a very valuable tool.

I downloaded the Arelis links builder and allthought the software is good in quality, it is, in my opinion and my SEO team, a real pain when it comes to day to day activity.

I am using SEOElite for my OffPage optimization (link strategy) and it is so easy to use and effective that I am sticking to it!.
