SEOmoz Pro Account Review
SEOmoz seemed to have some nice tools, so we decided to give it’s PRO account a try. And indeed the tools are quite nice. I especially like the idea of Linkscape and Ranktracker. Linkscape shows you exactly what pages are linking to your site. And better: you can easily filter them to see which do not come from your own website, which ones have nofollow on them, etc. Ranktracker does what you expect from the name: track search engine positions for different keywords over time. There is a bunch of other tools as well, but those are not really impressive and maybe even a bit outdated.
However, the site and tools are SLOW, a significant portion of my requests fails or take ages. I’ve tested it during multiple days, so it’s not a one-time thing. In my opinion as a programmer I’m better of reproducing the tools with some small scripts, because unresponsive sites really annoy me, especially if I pay $79 a month for them. I do not think I lost that first payment though, because there is also some great paid content over there. But that’s not nearly enough to justify paying $79 every month.
An Idea I do like it that I can take a questionnaire after I cancel and get another week for free. Because on our sites people usually don’t want to take the effort to tell us why they cancel.
