Hi all,
I'm in the process of evaluating this piece of software for our SEO staff;
[link]
Has anyone used it or had experience of it as I'd rather get opinions from the frontline as it were..
All feedback greatfully received.
Thanks,
BA.

The seller's website has a PR of 3.
Nuff said.

Hampstead is saying that as a software to help SEO´s do their job it should prove its worth by having significant PR of its own.
I never used it though I tried. I downloaded it and it would never work. I must say the customer service person that dealt with me was very patient and I gave up before she did.
Perhaps if you are looking to buy seo tools do related searches in google and others and find which supplier has the best overall SERPs?

I get your points - really valid, cheers!
On a slightly different tact is there a piece of software you've used that is useful?

Web CEO is a good software application. It can help you find elements of your SEO efforts that sometimes go overlooked and help you correct them. It's been put together by some of the most knowlegeable people in the industry.
It is my belief, though, that there's no substitute to experience and knowledge when it comes to Search Engine Optimization. You just have to know what works for some industries and what doesn't work for others--and how much optimizing you need to do for certain sites and what you don't need to do--what would be overkill for some sites. No software can replace knowledge and experience.

I have found "internet business promoter" or IBP to be a good collection of tools.
Search for it. You'll find it easy enough.

Actually, to be fair to WebCEO, what Hampstead implied by the comment about their low PR is a bit misleading. That doesn't indicate anything much about the software. It does, however, show that they could concentrate on acquiring some more quality IBLs :D

All web businesses do not need high PR or do not have high PR if marketed by other means than search engines.
STFU about PR already.

Yeah, thanks for stating the obvious, dude. The point was that the low PR of their page doesn't necessarily indicate the quality of their software.
As this has direct relevance to the OP's question about WebCEO, I'll STFU about PR when I've finished offering what little insight I have to share.
If that's OK with you, or course...

Smog.
Of course one doesn't have to have a high PR if one is using AdWords or the like, but the software for sale isn't to aid you in your bidding.
It's for SEO - get it???
