But rather than just waffling on about what each of these tools does…
…I am going to show you how to use them to increase YOUR search traffic.
What Will I Learn?
SEO Spyglass: 7x Backlink Analysis Methods
SEO SpyGlass allows you to:
- Make competitor analysis
- View your competitors backlinks
- Run backlink campaigns
- Uncover (and steal) their strategy
- See how you compare to your competition
- Reduce risks on your site
- Spot potentially harmful risks
- Clean up your profile
If this doesn’t show (or you want to change competitors) you can go to:
Projects > New
…to restart the process.
#1- Download Your Competitor’s Backlinks
The first piece of information the tool will display is your competitor’s backlink profile.
For my blog it shows 35,549 links:
Which is less than what Ahrefs shows…
…and Google Search Console…
But is still a significant number of links to work with.
(You can also connect SpyGlass to Google Search Console and access links from their joint database of 1.6x trillion links.)
You can download the link profile by going to:
Backlink Profile > Backlinks > Quick CSV Export
That’s this button here:
This will give you a CSV file you can use with other SEO tools.
#2- Compare Backlink Profiles Of Websites
To compare link profiles of websites just go to:
Domain Comparison > Summary
Where you’ll be asked to enter your competitor’s domains:
If you aren’t sure who your competitors are…
Look for domains which show up for your target keywords in Google.
Click “OK”.
You’ll then see a side-by-side comparison of each domain’s backlinks:
Some key metrics to pay attention to here are:
- Total backlinks
- Total linking domains (look at Majestic total backlinks vs linking domains above)
- IP addresses (look at Ahrefs links to IP ratio above)
- Top traffic source loation
- Anchor text diversity
You can also use this data to legally steal their backlinks.
Better still…
The Link Intersection tool shows you which websites link to your competitors but not you:
#3- Get Complete Anchor Text Breakdowns
It’s important that your anchor text is relevant to your page.
It sets the expectation for what a user is going to find on your page.
If they see an anchor text saying “dog beds”, they want to find a page about dog beds.
To check your anchor text, go to:
Backlink Profile > Anchor Texts
Where you’ll see a complete breakdown of your site’s anchor text:
You can then use this information to find any irrelevant (or unusual) anchor texts.
Like this one:
Find out where they are coming from:
And contact the webmaster about them.
#4- Monitor Backlink Growth
You can see the growth of your backlinks over a period of:
- 1x month
- 3x months
- 6x months
- 1x year
- 3x year
Backlink Profile > Backlinks
And filtering the graph which displays at the top of the page:
#5- See Which Backlinks Send Traffic
SEO SpyGlass can connect with your Google Analytics account and show you which backlinks send the most traffic to your site.
Some pretty handy data right there!
Head to:
Backlink Profile > Referral Traffic
And you’ll see a breakdown of each site:
What I love about this data is that they show you the bounce rate for this traffic too.
This allows you to see which sites send you the most targeted traffic.
#6- One-Click Penalty Risk Analysis
Not all backlinks are created equal.
Some of them can:
- Cost you traffic
- Increase your chances of a penalty
Go to:
Backlink Profile > Penalty Risk
Here you can see a list of all risky backlinks pointing to your site:
If there are any risks, you’ll need this next feature…
#7- Disavow File Generator
If the Penalty Risk tool shows any risky links you can instantly disavow them.
Simply scroll down to find the high-risk link.
Highlight the “Disavow” section:
Then click the “X” to disavow the link. You’ll have to export the file and import it into Google Search Console.
BUT:
In my opinion, there is absolutetly no need to upload a disavow file unless Google has given you a manual action for links.
Learn how to disavow backlinks with my step by step process.
LinkAssistant: 4x Ways To Build Powerful Links
LinkAssistant is a link outreach tool that can help you to:
- Find link prospects/link opportunities
- Automatically find email address/contact information
- Create intelligent email templates
- Contact site owners in bulk
Then you’re ready to start building links…
#8- Find Backlink Opportunities
One of my favourite features of LinkAssistant is “Look For Prospects”.
It searches the web to find the most relevant backlink opportunities for your website.
This can save you hours of research, or hundreds of dollars on research assistants.
Go to:
Prospects > Look For Prospects
Which is displayed as this button in the top left corner:
Click the button.
That opens up this menu:
You can ask LinkAssistant to find opportunities for the keywords you want to rank for.
Let’s say you wanted guest posting opportunities.
You would:
- Select “Guest Posting” from the menu.
- Enter the keywords you want to rank for
- Follow the wizard for the next two steps
- Hit “Submit”
Then you’ll be presented with a list of guest post opportunities:
All while I was doing something else!
#9- Automatically Lookup Contact Information
LinkAssistant will also crawl a website to find you their exact contact information.
You can do this by going:
Right Click > Update > Contact Info > Submit
Here’s how that looks in action:
This will then extract and harvest available email addresses that are available on the site.
They will be displayed in the results window for you.
#10- Bulk Email Outreach
Once you have enough email addresses you can contact people in bulk, inside the tool.
Select the sites you want to contact by using “CTRL + Click”:
Then click the “Email” button above the spreadsheet.
You’ll now have all of the emails in one place:
Here you can create an outreach email to be sent to all of these people.
The template they give you is pretty poor, so I recommend you make it sound authentic.
To do this click the cog icon here:
Then add your own text:
Click “OK”.
Now you have a ready-to-send bulk email:
And you can take it easy while LinkAssistant does all of the heavy lifting for you.
#11- Monitor Your Links
If you’ve been guest blogging or buying links (naughty) it’s good practice to monitor your links.
Why?
To ensure they are-
- Still active and have the anchor details as intended
- Providing link juice
Prospects > Backlinks > Add
Then pasting your links from SEO Spyglass into the tool.
Change the status to, “Website Links Back”.
Click, “Verify”.
You’ll then see a screen like this:
Check in periodically to make sure your links are where they need to be.
And if not:
It’s easy to email all the websites that drop their links in on click to see what’s up!
Website Auditor: 6x Ways To Improve Onpage SEO
With Website Auditor you can:
- Perform entire website audits (including content audit & technical audit)
- Effectively optimize your content
- See your website like Google’s crawlers do
- Find your most valuable keywords
- Uncover competitors’ content strategies
Once you’ve done that we can start optimising our website…
#12- One-Click On-site SEO Audits
The first step you should take is to run an on-site SEO audit.
To do this go to:
Site Structure > Site Audit
Don’t tweak any crawl settings for now.
Submit the information.
Once the tool is finished you’ll see a screen like this:
Here you can see website:
- Errors: Problem pages that need to be fixed
- Warnings: Pages that could present a problem
- “Info” pages: Factors you’ll need to revise at a later date
Along with more information about the error and how to fix it–
Just work through all of these errors and run another audit to double check you got everything!
#13- Content Optimization & Technical Audits
You can also perform a one-click audit on a specific website page.
This will help you:
- Check how well your page is optimized
- Get page-specific recommendations based on top-ranking competitors
Head to:
Content Analysis > Page Audit > Content Optimization
Then select the “Add Page” option at the top of the tool.
Here you can see a list of every page present in the current project.
Either:
- Choose a page from the list
- Search for the exact page you want to audit
Select it.
Enter the keyword you want to rank for.
Let the tool run the audit…
…and you’ll then see a complete audit of this page:
Go through each of the:
- Errors
- Warnings
You can then repeat the same process for technical errors by clicking on the Technical Factors tab.
Speaking of which…
#14- Google Mobile Friendly Testing
You can see:
- If your page is mobile friendly
- The exact errors holding it back
Content Analysis > Page Audit > Technical Errors
And scrolling down to the “Page Usability (Mobile)” section:
Given the recent deployment of the mobile first index, it’s critical that your site works well across mobile devices.
#15- Optimize Internal Link Structure Easily
Website Auditor allows you to easily restructure your site.
The better the structure, the higher you can rank.
There are three key elements to this.
Firstly, you need to keep a shallow website structure.
This means all of your pages should be within 3x clicks of your homepage.
This is called “Click Depth”.
You can see this by going to:
Site Structure > Pages > All Pages
And checking the click depth column:
Secondly, you need to ensure your most important pages have the most internal links.
The more internal links to a page, the more important it is perceived.
So make sure that is reflected in your website structure.
You can see this in the links to page column (next to click depth):
Finally, you need to ensure all your important pages are linked to internally.
To test this you’ll need to activate the “Orphan pages” option in your crawlers settings:
If you find any orphan pages you ever need to delete them and redirect the URL to somewhere else.
OR
Place some internal links to them from relevant pages on your site.
But if you’re a more visual learner…
#16 – Interactive Site Visualization
WebSite Auditor’s visualization has two really great features.
And it becomes pretty obvious when something isn’t right…
See Your Site The Way Google Does…
Firstly:
It crawls your site in the same way Google does.
It combs through your site looking for:
- Crawling issues
- Indexing issues
It also checks elements like your site’s robot.txt and generates instructions on how to improve the issues it finds.
Visual Maps Of Your Sites…
It then presents this data to you on a visual map.
Go to:
Site Structure > Visualisation
And you will see a visual breakdown of your site.
The perfect structure has all pages within three clicks of your homepage.
Like this
But as long as your site has:
- A logical structure
- No error pages showing
Here’s a case study about how improving website structure helped 14x search traffic.
#17- The Best TF-IDF Tool On The Market
SEO Powersuite has the world’s best TF-IDF tool.
TF-IDF stands for Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency.
That’s a complicated way of saying:
Your search competitors use these words so you should as well.
To find this great tool go to:
Content Analysis > TF-IDF
Ensure you’ve selected the page you want to audit.
It will then show you the data for each keyword:
This is a mix of prominent and relevant keywords taken from your competitor’s pages.
Each of these will come with a recommendation:
Which translates to:
- “OK”: You have hit the sweet spot
- “Use More”: Increase the amount
- “Use Less”: Decrease the amount
- “Add”: Include this on the page
RankTracker: 6x Things You Should Be Tracking
With Rank Tracker you can:
- Monitor your current rankings
- Reveal keyword difficulties
- Fully automate your reporting
- Track featured snippets
Can you name 1 other keyword tool that can do keyword tracking like that?
#18- Reveal Keyword Ranking Difficulty
The starting point of any profitable SEO campaign is effective keyword research.
Rank Tracker can calculate keyword difficulty.
This means you can effectively gauge how hard it would be to outrank top competitors.
This makes decision making much simpler.
Here’s a quick video on how to set this up:
Your reports will now show keyword difficulties.
Simple!
#19- Get Precise Search Volume Numbers From Google
Nobody likes reports with huge data ranges.
It’s useless to see a keyword receives “1000 – 10000” searches.
But Rank Tracker can turn these ranges into precise numbers.
Go to:
Preferences > Number of Searches
And select, “Google forecast” from the drop-down menu:
You will now see exact search numbers in your dashboard:
#20- Fully Automate Rank Checking & Reporting
Want to get ranking reports sent directly to your inbox?
Simply go to:
Preferences > Scheduler
And select the “Check search engine rankings” option from the menu:
Select the frequency it should update data-
Then repeat the process but select the “Publish Reports” option the next time you open the scheduler tool.
Wait for the reports to roll in!
#21- Check Local Search Engine Rankings
Rank Tracker lets you see geo-specific local rankings.
Better still:
You can narrow them down to street level.
This gives you a massive advantage over your competitors.
Go to:
Preferences > Preferred Search Engine > Google > Add Custom
Then select the local details you need and set only your preferred location:
You’ll now be able to see reports of your performance in that region from that specific street.
Nifty huh?
#22- Check Mobile Rankings
To check and track mobile rankings you’ll first need to go to:
Preferences > Preferred Search Engine > Google Mobile
And select the “+” sign to add it to your search engine list:
Then head to your rank tracking reports.
And customise your workspace feature to add this column-
Now you can see general mobile ranking data along with any other data you have selected to view-
#23- Check YouTube Search Rankings
You can also check rankings for your videos on YouTube.
Go to:
Preferences > Preferred Search Engine
And select YouTube from the list.
You can only track YouTube videos in YouTube.
To make sure it all works you’ll need to go to:
Preferences > Alternative URLs
And include the URLs for each of the YouTube videos you want to track.
Then the next time you update your rankings, RankTracker will check how all of your YouTube videos are ranking on both YouTube search AND Google search.
Note: In my opinion, Rank Tracker is one of the best Youtube tracker tools available.
#24- Track SERP Features
You can track rankings in SERP features like featured snippets, images, videos, and maps by going to-
Preferences > Rank Checking Mode
Then uncheck the “track organic results only” box.
And check the “track multiple results for keyword” box:
You will then see all the results for the keywords in the rank column.
You can also add the Google SERP features column to your workspace to see all the features.
The ones you rank for will be highlighted in green.
They also introduced, recently, a Keyword Gap analysis tool which helps you find competitor’s keywords that you don’t rank for yet. Indeed, this new feature is extremely efficient and is only present in high-end SEO tools like: Ahrefs, Screaming Frog SEO Spider, and SEMrush.
Basically, SEO PowerSuite tools help professionals, as well as newbies, through their keyword research and keyword analysis processes.
The tool is easy to use so anyone can start building his SEO strategy the right way.

148 Responses
What are your thoughts when comparing SurferSEO and the on-page analysis of Website Auditor? Which one would you use? SurferSEO and Website Auditor are giving me some conflicting recommendations.
Hey Mike,
I recommend and use Surfer SEO!
Please read my review to learn why: https://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/seo/reviews/surfer-seo/
Having used this software for over ten years I was initially impressed with it, However I find now that it does not work as it should, reporting is inconsistent and unreliable, data supposedly imported from Google analytics account does not match.
Rank checker is hit and miss with Bing, and does not provide reliable information
Website Auditor does not import correct data from Google.
This suite of software is now ineffective and not worth the subscription I would not recommend to anyone.
Thank you for sharing your experience with SEO Powersuite, Grant!
Good work
Best information
Best of luck
Thank you, Amjad!
I want to buy seo power suit. pls send me your affiliate link.
Just use the links from the ‘Wrapping It Up’ section of the post. Thanks :)
onestly, the program has made giant strides. I like to call it the little hrefs :). I have been using it for 4 years, and with the latest updates it is becoming a truly indispensable package. Thanks to them I canceled my LongTailPro subscription, because their keyword Difficulty (with the last update) has definitely improved and with more consistent data. I love SeoPowerSuite, I can no longer stay without it.
Yes it really is a valuable set of tools!
Have you selected the Winners already?
Yes they have been selected :)
i want to win this time.hope will get the chance
Good luck!
Awesome great information from you good job
Thanks! Good luck.
Whats wrong here? It said 36 hours for contest end and reading in the comments you say the contest ended a long time ago? If that is so, why have it functional on this page or have a “disclaimer” the contest has ended already. I love your stuff for years Matthew but I don’t know why you would have this operational if its already done. Sorry I could not find a date or a clue to judge the freshness of this page. I feel I have spent twenty misleading minutes interacting on this page and promoting this contest that is not possible to win anymore. Oh well.
It was still active at the time of your comment.
I have seen many posts but your post best.
Haha, glad you think so :)
Thanks for the opportunity buddy!!!
No probs Manuel :)
Strong article, nice and hard work. Thank you.
Thanks very much!!
Awesome Share!!!!!!!! It is a good SEO guide for beginners. It should be remember that ultimate objective of doing search engine optimization efforts is to get more exposure and traffic for website and business.
Thanks, hope you found it useful!
I have used trial pack of SEO powersuite. It really worth giving a try. By the way thanks for the honest review.
Glad to hear, thanks Shuvo
Thanks for all your informative videos!
No worries Lenny, I hope you found them useful!
Great post. I’m actually talking about SEO Powersuite at an event later this week (SearchCon in Breckenridge, CO). Hands down, one of my favorite tools in the industry
How do I see it?
Hi Matthew, I’m in the process of assessing my SEO toolkit. Clients range in size from US-based ecommerce to local retail in Aus.
I need tools to cover website auditing, rank tracking (inc. local), link building/monitoring. Plus, help with other local search factors. Powersuite is also appealing because of the one-time cost.
Some specific questions:
• Link monitoring – read your excellent article comparing Ahrefs, Spyglass, Raven, Open Site Explorer, Majestic. Ahrefs appears indispensable but what about webmeup? Seems to be feeding all its data to Powersuite and it’s been 10 months since your review, can it rival Ahrefs? Or will it at least suffice for someone like me so I can avoid an Ahrefs subscription?
• Link building and outreach? How does Link Assistant compare to the SEMrush link building tool for example? (I already have a subscription, mainly for keyword research, so can save money)
• What’s the best rank tracker? How does Powersuite compare others?
• Finally, local search, any tool tips or will Powersuite cover me?
Yes the tools can do everything you need and especially at scale will save you huge costs although I recommend investing in some proxies to keep things smooth.
If your working with a team you can also host all the project files in the cloud or dropbox to keep everything in sync.
1) Feeding in Ahrefs data to SEO Spyglass is a much better approach but if you are on a budget, the SEO Spyglass/WebMeUp DB does the trick. I am going to update my test soon :)
2) I haven’t used the SEMRush link building tool to any extent but you can take the free link assistant trial to get a feel for how it drives. I guess the main difference is SEMRush will retrieve data at a much more rapid rate because the data is usually already in their database vs link assistant which scrapes fresh everytime and although slower, is more accurate.
3) RankTracker is the best RankTracker. Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwMnfRATjWw for complete clarification on why
4) Depends what you want to do – in terms of monitoring rankings/reporting local, you are covered!
What’s up mates, how is the whole thing, and what you wish for to say regarding this piece of writing, in my view its
genuinely remarkable for me.
Thanks
Hi matt what WordPress plugin would you recommend that we can provide analysis SEO report to clients by typing their URL in our website?
Cheers
I’m not aware of a Wordpress plugin that does that =/
I am really astonished after seeing that seo powersuite gives 50 to 75% discount during black friday. So i am really thankful to you as this website will help everyone like me to know the discount offer during black friday.
No worrys :)
Hello, I have one question there is no cheaper package where I can buy spy glass? I just need for a site so, ther current version is very expensive and I can not afford it, thank you, I managed to buy rank Tracker.
No sorry :( sometimes they have sales though so sign up for the trial
I tried the free version. Really need to try it in greater depth before buying. Among all, I think it’s the cheapest compared to monthly subscription.
Yes its definitely good value for money!
Thanks for this review, Matthew! I’m a happy owner of Website Auditor and SEO Spyglass, so I agree, the tools are great! I like the way they are improving them this year, especially Auditor – now it is very powerful! It shows so much info about the website and so much work to do :D
I’m thinking about RankTracker right now. It has anti-ban option now so I hope this tool will also work for me.
If you drop them a mail they might let you upgrade to the full SEO Powersuite for a low fee rather than buying RanKTracker separately
I am a newbie in the content, affiliate, social, and sales funnel world.
I have a basic understanding of building links and on page Seo from your blog and Moz.
Is SEO power suite a great affordable place to start? Or should I buy SEO monitor and use The free versions of SEO explorer and moz tools until I make more to spend more? $300 is a bit high for a college student. I got Buzz Bundle Black Friday for $100 :)
Thank you for all the help you have given freely so far!
You to buy the tool that best aligns to your strategy and current goals
Greetings!
Have tried the software and was rather surprised with the features it offers and the price it asks.
The subscription made me think twice before the purchase, but when you done simple calculations you’ll see that the price is lower than it could be.
Also I saved money on buying proxies and anti-captchas, as these guys put the anti-block solution into the software.
For the main minus is that the tools are desktop type.
Should I recommend – absolutely yes (but it’s on your choice);).
Hey Matthew I am confused between semrush and Seopowersuit. Which one i should buy. Looking for your recommendation
Well that depends on your goals and what you are trying to achieve
Ah, a huge fan too! Just like keeping it all organized, and I must say – I just love the handy interface across all tools. That new anti-ban feature is a bless, too! It may not always be working flawlessly, but this must have been a ton of work behind it, so I`m glad to deal with it while I can wave goodbye to the proxies and captchas.
Still, my favorite one is WebsiteAuditor – I can see most of the weak spots after a few-clicks audit, and all the stats are really actionable. This is just way more user-friendly than most of the tools, with all the tips and recommendations at hand. Definitely going to get an extra one for a friend during the nearest sale!
I really like what I see in SEO Powersuite with their recent updates. The anti-block feature is really great, I used to spend about $100 per month for proxies and captchas, now all this is resolved on their end, which is really cool. Hope they will run some sale soon to upgrade to Enterprise with a discount.
I guess they will have one for Black Friday next month?
Hey Matthew, what do you think of Seo power suit after the recent updates? Would you say it’s a big improvement? I’m seriously thinking of picking it up rather than paying the large monthly payments for other tools. Thanks in advance.
It’s a very versatile suite of tools versus what you actually pay for it!
Hello everyone,
Well, the software is cool.
I asked for a trial period to be sure before the purchase and would like to say that is much cheaper in comparison to other tools with the same available features. Actually there are minor cons, but with the latest anti-block solution I forgot about them. No proxies and captchas – that’s what I needed.
Depending on how much you are doing with it, it is possible you will need proxies if you scale up your projects!
I am panning to buy but price is huge. any discount code available?
Sometimes they run sales/discounts!
If you have a competing software you can get a competitive discount: http://www.link-assistant.com/competitive-discount.html
Your software is buggy on linux! I’m using Debian v. 8 – Jessie. I installed your seopowersuite, ran it, managed to initialize a browser window clicking on Google Analytics, went through the wizard step by step, and in the end it froze.
I noted at the bottom it said I should upgrade my version of Java, so I did this – to version 8. I re-ran the program, this time, clicking on Google analytics opens up an alert: browser window initialization failed.
Pity, I was looking forward to using your software.
This isn’t my software sorry, speak with support of the company that makes it directly.
cool!
Yup
Hi Matthew, got a knoob question:
If you use proxies, like the ones you referred to buyproxies.com, you don’t have to buy captchas anymore?
Thanks for everything, you are the man!!
In SEO Powersuite it would be very unlikely you would see a captcha but still possible. The best setup is to use https://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/seo/reviews/gsa-captcha-breaker/
You were right, no captchas needed when the right proxies in place, thanks!!
No problem :)
I think this tool has one of the best features ever. I am using this tool since four months and results are awesome and it save our precious time. I ran it for few minutes and competitor keywords are on my table.
I recently write review on this as well for promoting its services.
Which feature is that?
Cool competition ………I want to win this.
It closed a long time ago sorry
which is better in term of search engine ranking, a website built in Wordpress (self hosted) or self make php site? Kindly advice.
Makes no difference at all
Which one I sgould honestly buy SEO Powersuite or ultimate DEMON i’m confuse.
They both do very different things so it depends on what you want to achieve.
Dig the grossly verbose (and pretty) reports you can smash out with this app, here’s hoping this software suite doesn’t end up ‘in the cloud’ lol
One of the main reasons I use their RankTracker is because it’s not cloud based!
Hey Matt,
I own a copy of SEO Power suite and was thinking about how Link Assistant might compare to Scrapebox if you’re simply looking to generate a list of say, 500-1000 sites in your niche for outreach.
I’ve heard Neil Patel talk about using scrapebox to generate a list like that when he creates his “ultimate guides”, then mailing them to let them know about it and nudge them for a link.
Seems to me that Link Assistant could be used for the same thing, but since I don’t own SB, I was wondering if you think it would be superior?
Dom
Hey,
Yeah it can be used for the same thing, scrapebox is quicker at scraping results but doesnt have any mailing functions
hi
great articles, but I am confused as to were to stop, I could download heeps of software, they all sound good!
would Powersuite replace Traffic Travis ?
Yes it would!
Hey,
So, I was using Moz but I really liked SEOPowerSuite.
But, I didn’t understand why there is a option for Proxies and Captcha.
And exist a huge difference between the Professional package and the Enterprise package?
That’s because it looks up a lot of data from lots of sources that may block it
I noticed one small flaw – the SEO Spyglass link next to the page is the same as Rank Tracker’s
Ahh nice spot thanks – fixed :)
Nice tutorial!!!
I am little bit confuse by checking sites backlinks. Here in tutorial you checked matthewwoodward.co.uk backlinks and it show you 826 backlinks……When i checked your site backlinks in ahrefs it show me up to 20k backlinks and in webmeup show me 11k+ backlinks of your website……so why SEO SpyGlass show only 826 Backlinks.
Because SEO spyglass has a smaller links database https://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/seo/tools/backlink-checkers/
I think this tool has one of the best features. I once it used it for my friend and the results was great. I let it run for hours and the tool came back with my competitors backlinks report.
Anchor texts, page url, keywords etc.
Thinking to buy it for myself :)
The whole suite is pretty good!
I amlaready using it and really beneficial for webmasters to use it.
It is indeed!
What are your views on Traffic Travis?
Haven’t used it extensively enough to cast a valid opinion
Hi Matt,
I have been using Rank Tracker for around 2 years now and its always been a really great bit of software but its not working so great over the last few weeks with google not returning results after about 10 keywords.
I’m using it with rotating proxies on a VPS and am still getting the same problems. Just wondering if anyone else is having any probs at the moment.
Great blog BTW – and thanks for the New Scrapebox Tutorial

Hi Matthew, your insights are invaluable, thanks! I just wanted to ask about your thoughts on Rank Tracker. I use it, in fact swear by it. But it’s become frustrating to use the keyword suggestion tool which is built in to it.
Currently it only returns suggestions from America! How bad is that?
I was wondering how you get around this issue, I personally just use Google’s keyword tool directly now, but I really miss this feature in Rank Tracker.
Cheers
Hi Morgan,
Give the team a shout and im sure they’ll help you out!
Hi Matthew, I know that, their service is good – especially Yuri. I just wanted to know if you have encountered this issue and what tips you have to get around it?
Hey,
I don’t use the keyword suggestion tool so your guess is as good as mine in that respect lol
Hi Matt,
Just curious =) Do you pay for the monthly algo updates? Cos I have friends who have been using the software for a number of years and they never purchased the monthly updates.
Just checking cos it is almost time to purchase the algo updates.
Yes overtime as the data sources make changes the software wont be able to return the results you need.
The best tools, I have ever tried!
Word to that ^^
so who won the contest?
Stuart Jewson, Dustin Gomez & Anna Mirasol
Thanks for the video, usually most most of the time you can find just articles, but very few interesting video reviews.
Thanks =D
I use SEO Powersuite Enterprise version, it’s a must have tool, what every webmaster must have.
The seo spyglass is not so faster, take hours sometimes to check all the back links for big sites but do a good job.
Hi,
I have to agree :)
You can increase the speed of spyglass with more proxies/connections ^^
In addition to proxies, are you also running these on a VPS or some sort of virtual machine?
No I keep it local and project files remote
Hi Iosif!
To speed up the process, you can update ranking factors for your backlinks in chunks.
Just select 700-1000 backlinks from the list – right-click on the selection and select ranking factors to update. Next repeat the procedure for the rest of your links.
Also, you can allocate more memory for the app to be able to process more data at a time.

I have to say I am massive fan of SEO PowerSuite, especially as its available on OSX and a lot of SEO software overlooks mac.
Yeah its great that it is cross platform – rare for an SEO tool ^^
Great Competition – I need these tools!! Your videos are great mate…!!!
Competition is over sorry =\
I use powersuite all the time-rank tracker mainly, as well as website auditor and spyglass-now wouldnt be without these tools -top stuff
That makes two of us =D
hey,
was wondering if you use proxies with seo power suite and link tracker
been trying so many different solutions for proxies to work with rank tracker but haven’t found one that works…………..
be great if you have a suggestion for proxy source for rank tracker :)
thanks matt
Hi,
Yes I do – like you I had huge problems finding reliable ones. For example ‘SquidProxies’ sucked at anything to do with rank tracking/Google, I have had a great experience with https://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/get/buyproxies/ though and the semi dedicateds from those guys spanked the ‘dedicated’ ones from Squid.
I’ve just downloaded the trial. It seems to be a nice tool. And how do I enter the competition ?
The competition has already ended, the current competition can be found at https://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/get/competition
Hey Matthew,
Loved your review of SEO Powersuite, I’ve purchased a license for this and I’m looking forward to using it on my clients websites!

Thanks

Hey, do you do freelance writing? If you don't kindly let me know…. sent you a PM on 2 forums without a reply!
Replied to your email :)
I wont get this prize. Anyways a tweet for this nice video. Thinking of buying Rank tracker but costs very high. So I have to stick with market samurai.
Its the tool everyone knows but never use most of the time. Rank tracker is top class. 100x better than market samurai.

Actually I honestly have nothing lined up yet or even potentially lined up. Will see what I can do :P Im launching some free software soon if that counts ^^
MatthewWoodward.co.uk seems I've been suffering from foot-in-mouth syndrome over this last week. Free software most certainly counts!
Tweeted! I am pretty confident that I am going to win this. I was born for this. This is my destiny. =)
