What with the onslaught of purportedly super duper product launches hitting our inboxes 24/7 these days, simply keeping track is becoming a daunting chore, not to mention separating the wheat from the chaff.
Here's a few we've found decidedly useful, promising (at least) and well worth checking out. Your mileage may vary, of course, and what's good for the goose need certainly not be good for the gander in search marketing: far too many different business models, SEM strategies, web site setups and fundamental targets involved to realistically expect a one-size-fits-all solution. This said, here goes.
We've discussed Peter Drew's BruteForceSEO program twice on this blog already, namely here: Brute Force SEO Video - the Fight Club Angle and, featuring first results, here again: Google Results with BruteForceSEO: 60% Page #1 Domination! so it doesn't really require another introduction.
The initial 1,000 slots were sold out fast. This was a $1 test run for a week, so it didn't really come as a big surprise, but retention after that was a stately 60% which is quite good.
Now, the program is being relaunched in about seven hours' time (as of writing this) to fill the remaining 400 slots though at a slightly higher price. Again, you'll start off with a 7 day trial for a buck, after which monthly subscription is $147. If you haven't had a bash at it yet, do go for it here: BruteForceSEO.
Like with most of Peter Drew's scripts, you'll have to live with the bugs and a fairly eccentric how-to documentation in tidbits spread across just about everywhere. In our experience, the bugs will actually get sorted out over time, technical support's very helpful and usually quite speedy (unless overwhelmed by the initial launch onslaught), and the user forum camaraderie is quite genuine and well worth participation as well, especially for Internet marketing newbies. But it does tend to test your patience more than you may care for on occasion.
Tip for affiliate marketers: You may also want to look into signing up for the BruteForce SEO Affiliate program. Sure, it costs a buck to join up which many people don't like one bit (long story...), but conversions are pretty decent and payments are instant via PayPal, so overall it may well be worth it if you have a web site and/or a decent mailing list to promote to: BruteForce SEO Affiliate program
However, for a slightly cheaper and probably better matured application and service that does practically everything the BruteForceSEO setup offers you, and at a (now) lower price as well ($97 per month), you may want to check out the most recent incarnation of SENuke instead (or in addition).
While it does have its quirks, it's a great application that comes accompanied by tons of cut-to-the-chase how-to videos and it supports proxies which in our view is quite indispensable to the power user! (By contrast, Peter Drew feels that proxy functionality would only complicate matters unduly, something yours truly refuses to agree with.)
The trial version comes for free (no $1 for the first week or anything) and certainly merits attention: SENuke
Finally, there's IBP (short for iBusinessPromoter), an SEO application that even comes with a ranking guarantee. Well, sort of:
Why we can guarantee top 10 rankings
Actually, noone can guarantee top 10 rankings except for Google's engineers. However, IBP has a success rate of more than 98% and we will give you your money back if you belong to the very few people who don't get top 10 rankings on Google with IBP.
Expect IBP to achieve your rankings (you define your own keywords) within appr. 90 days - whereas the guarantee is good for a full year, so that's fair enough, we'd say. There's a free demo version available for download and full version pricing's a one-off payment of €249.95, so no recurring monthly fees to factor in which many people may prefer.
We haven't been able to test this thingy in depth ourselves yet, so while we cannot vouch for its efficacy first hand, in view of their reasonable pricing and the money-back guarantee offered we do feel it's a game you cannot really lose at if. Download it here: IBP
