1. New Year's resolution: try SEOprofiler instead of your current SEO tool

Very many people switched from other SEO tools to SEOprofiler during the last year. That was a good decision. If you’re still using another SEO tool, you might be missing out on a lot. In this article, we'll show you why it might be better to switch from your current SEO tool to SEOprofiler.

Reason 1: you get everything that you need in one tool

SEOprofiler offers tools for web page optimization, keyword research, link analysis, link management, competitive intelligence, uptime monitoring, website analytics, SEO audits, and more.

website promotion tools and SEO tools

You do not need other tools when you use SEOprofiler to promote your website. In addition, SEOprofiler offers white-label reports in your company design. Your boss and your clients won't find out that you use SEOprofiler to do the work.

Reason 2: you get better data

Our most popular competitor is Moz.com. Don't get me wrong: Moz offers some great tools. However, I'm confident that you will get better results if you use the tools in SEOprofiler. Here are some examples:

1. For example, you get better link analysis data

In general, the Link Profiler tool in SEOprofiler delivers many more results than Moz' Open Site Explorer. With SEOprofiler, you will find more links, you will get more details, and you get more filters:

Here are some examples. The table shows the number of unique backlinks (links from different websites) that Moz' Open Site Explorer and the Link Profiler tool in SEOprofiler find for different domains:

Domain Unique backlinks Moz Unique backlinks SEOprofiler Difference
adidas.com 841 17,190 +1,944%
amnesty.org 584 26,621 +4,458%
boardgamegeek.com 1,307 24,052 +1,740%
nike.com 10,894 30,825 +182%

The Link Profiler tool also enables you to work as efficiently as possible. It focuses on active backlinks that currently influence the rankings of a website. If a link is not active anymore, or if it does not influence the rankings of the linked page, you won't find that link in the analysis.

That enables you to focus on the important links. You save time and you get exactly the data that you need.

2. For example, you get better ranking data

SEOprofiler enables you to monitor the position of your web pages on Google, Google Mobile, Bing and Yahoo in many different countries.

In contrast to other ranking checkers, the Ranking Monitor in SEOprofiler reports much more than just the position of your web pages in the search results:

If you want to know how your web pages are ranked on search engines, the Ranking Monitor in SEOprofiler is the ideal solution.

2. Internet marketing news of the week

GoogleIs Google’s Panda algorithm still relevant in 2018?

"The important thing to understand about these five areas of Panda optimisation is they’re as much about the user as they are the algorithm itself.

Google might not use testimonials as a ranking factor, for example, but using them might keep people on your site for longer and increase conversion rates – two things Panda does want to see.

This is where content quality and user experience overlap; because quality content is at the heart of all great experiences. The best approach to optimising for Panda is to focus on providing the best possible experience for users – starting with the content you provide them."

Google publishes quality raters guidelines for voice search

"We are publishing some of the first Google Assistant guidelines. It is our hope that making these guidelines public will help the research community build and evaluate their own systems. [...]
