Web CEO, Do Professional SEO Dudes Use it?

[OldWelshGuy]

I use it for reports for clients and that is about it really. As far as the SEO aspect goes, it is absolutely crap as far as I am concerned because it only looks at a couple of aspects of on page stuff. BUT if you have only a couple of simple sites and are looking to promote them without knowing SEO, then it will be Ok PROVIDING you are not operating in a field that is remotely competitive, as it is not up to it on those cases.

Ages ago it looked really poo, but version 7.3 upwards have been great achievements

hmm.. I really stopped using softwares ages ago. I like to retry the this version now. Thanks for sharing.

I use it, though more of a guide now. But if you are new to the game it is a fantastic help.

My Review of WebCEO:
SEOContest2008 SEO/SEM Downloads and Other Tools Blog Archive SEO Software Review: WebCEO - Comprehensive SEO Software for All

One major thing I like about this compared to Web Position and SEO Elite is the human emulation in ranking reports that does:

• The full download of pages and images just like how everyone else experiences it. Sometimes API tools have slight differences in results especially for Live/MSN.
• Uses emulated web browser user agents.
• Adds pauses in between ranking check to appear to be human.
• Uses several proxies owned by WebCEO so the source IP is not always the same, appearing to be human.

At the office where I work, we run Web Position and at home with my own business I use WebCEO. When we are running Web Position reports, and we do link: and site: commands on Google, Google suddenly gives us a CAPTCHA code saying it looks like an automated request. You can always download the free WebCEO. The only limitation it has in ranking reports is, you can only choose 6 search engines running 5 keywords. The reports cannot be exported nor printed.

And also, I forgot to mention, WebCEO's certification is pretty cool also especially for the people starting out in SEO. Check what I said about their certification program:
