Product Review : GR Search Engine Optimizer

Another search engine optimization product? Well, this one is quite different, as it is designed to complement rather than compete with the major SEO players like Web Position Gold and IBP.

GR's SEO product critiques your pages on a variety of dimensions that are not included in WPG and IBP. The first time I used GR SEO, I had already run my pages past the "page critic" in WPG, yet I still found a number of key errors on my pages that might well have penalized me with the search engines.

To me, that alone justified the purchase of the product, especially since I've continued to use it as I develop new pages for my site, and developed several more new sites.

GR Search Engine Optimizer looks for various things the search engine spiders will be looking for to rank your pages, but it also looks for things that the spiders might not like. In particular, it warns you if your page contains content that the search engines might penalize as spam, but it also points out simple errors that might cause a search engine spider or a browser to mis-read portions of your pages.

As noted above, the first time I used GR Search Engine Optimizer I found a number of errors in my pages that had been overlooked by two more expensive search engine optimization programs.

The program is simple to use, and gives you its critiques in plain english. There is also a nice feature whereby you are notified by e-mail as product updates become available, and they're easily downloaded the next time you start the SEO program. I've owned this program a couple of months, and already received three such updates, maintaining my confidence that the program is helping me and giving me the latest information.
