Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : SEO / SEM Discussions : SEO scripts - is there ANYTHING useful out there?

[eming]

Hey,
I've seen so many different types of SEO scripts "submit to 1 gazillion SE's" "Create a gazillion dorways" etc etc - but have anyone here actually seen any useful SEO scripts?

Anything that might actually improve your listing...white/grey/black hat?
We get asked all the time by clients and would like to have a few answers ready...

I've never seen a worthwhile script of any kind, particularly submission scripts. SEO is a strategic procedure. There is no "magic" software that does it for you.

i agree their is no magic software or script but i do use seo elite. not because it has tought me anything new but it just makes things a bit quicker for me to do. if it saves me 10 minutes per day, that is well worth it to me. but if you looking for a product that will make your site go from 1,000 to the first page, dont count on it.

BlackHat method surely does improve listing but for a short period of time and in a illegal way by fooling Search Engines.


When your client asks for a tool that helps them improve their search engine ranking. Simple recommend them softwares like "Web CEO" or "IBP" - these are few software which helps a webmaster find out the mistakes on their website and helps them with basic SEO'ing their website.

If they require proper SEO services, recommend them a very well known SEO Consultant who is been in the industry for a very long time or an SEO company.

There are few software which works imrove your position in SE, like "blog commenting software" and eBooks which teaches you some basic tips of SEO.

Note: There are different kind of blog commenting softwares.

1- which is illegal and lets you post automatic comments to mass amount of blogs.

2- This one is legal, one which acts like a search engine and lets you find a blog related to your niche and redirect you to the blog post and lets you read the post and post your comment, not a spam comment. Comments are written by you manually, make sure these comments does not look spammy in a way or so, post comments related to the post.

Or the best, if you are getting these queries often from client -why dont you start providing SEO services?

It's probably ******.

There is some useful scripts and programs, but they are not a magic bullet... They simply automate tasks you would normally do manually, thus saving you time to focus on other tasks.

Take Social Bookmarking Demon for example, yes people use it in attempt to "game" the search engines by hammering out 100's of submissions a day but it's also a useful tool if you produce bookmark worthy content. Instead of spending the best part of an hour manually visiting a dozen sites and logging in then submitting your content, you can achieve the same with the tool in about 2 minutes.

Time saving tools are great, tools to rocket you to #1 overnight so you can buy a BMW tomorrow are generally snake oil that will do more harm to your SEO campaign than good.

I would say that there are no really good scripts, scripts still need to submit to search engines and link firms. The best of these are normally owned by SEO consultants. In the end you will still need to build up your back links organically or if you want to pay, hire a reputable SEO Consultant, normally these are monthly payments and can be expensive.

I think a well-trained monkey..or today, since monkeys aren't that easily trained, a low-salary outsourced agent somewhere taught how to do SEO submissions would probably work best

There are many good SEO softwares available on the internet, these software are created normally by programmers and then sold to SEO's.

thats the truth

Just get in google and the rest will follow

Do not try any softwares that advertise like "submit to 1 gazillion SE's".. Just $699

Your site might get banned for spamming. You can sort those website easily, with colourful big fonts, 2 to 3 Testimonials with photos and normally one page website.
