Hi Dan.

I have a bit of a problem here! I'd like to use both Website Auditor and Spy/glass on my most successful local competitor (measured by website traffic) but unfortunately my competitor's website is blocked locally (we're in adult advertising), so the software can't even find the website. Usually I can easily access any competitor's site using hidemyass.com or similar, but that won't work here. Any ideas?

Kim

Hi Dan,

Are you aware of the new beta version of Website Auditor (I'm sure you are)? I think it's a great natural progression for the software as Google has made it clear that "themed" sites with good internal link architecture, clean loading etc will do better in rankings (by how much remains to be seen!).

The disappointing thing about the new addition is that it's just data and for those of us relatively inexperienced folks, it's unclear quite how to use it. The beauty of WA so far has been that it gives you step by step guidance on what to change and where. The new addition just seems to give you data.

Do you know if there is proper support for this in terms of a video or tutorial? Are you planning to build this into SEO in Practice? At the moment I feel limited in how I can use what seems like fantastic new data.
Thanks
Andy

I'm running into a bit of a problem with the tools when you add localization onto the keywords. In my case it's "Mailing Service Sacramento." I'm not concerned with competing on a world wide basis. When I add the Sacramento to my Keywords I run into 2 issues. The KEI for my key words is poor and in some cases comes up as "no data" and the Web Site Auditor shows my competition as having a 0% keyword density. Now I can run it without the Sacramento... but my competitors come up completely differently and I'm off the charts when it comes to rank tracking.

What's the best way to handle that?

Answer

Here's what I would do in your case.

1) Check KEI for words without "Sacramento" and select the most appealing words. Let's call it List1

2) Check KEI with "Sacramento" and compare words with the highest KEI on both lists. This will help you refine List1.

3) Optimize for words from List1 but with "Sacramento" added, and look for competitors with "Sacramento", accordingly.

Like I already told you in the email, the percentages for the competing sites show how well those sites are
optimized. Your own optimization rate is shown at the top of the page.

Hi Dan!

First of all thank you and you team for the work that with SEO tools. They are great and I'm having very good results with them.

I have a question, when you do a report with WebSite Auditor, on the competitor's zone, if the word that I'm checking now, top 10 webs shows an Optimization Rate with green colours, it's would say that my optimization with this work is fine? If we compare with the top 10 sites.

I left an image of that

On the down side though, I have so much red looking at me I thought I was in Moskow :-(
Still, at least I can see it with my own eyes now.

I mean, this is really good stuff. I opened the auditor software when I first downloaded the trial software. It meant nothing to me. Now it is really looking like I will be able to work with this software, I am really impressed with it.

I work is a town of just 10-12k people . In my business (hopefully to be passed on to my daughters soon) local business people always wonder about each other. I have had a really good idea that two of my competitors were doing much better this last year, and that three had virtually stopped trading!
I just did the auditor test for (what I think is the top keyword), and hey, the report says just what I have been thinking, what’s more, it does, it gives me x-ray vision, you can’t buy it!!!

First class!

@Dan Richmond

Dan, thanks for the feedback. I re-read this lesson and you know, I'm going to stick with the software. Here's why..

You use it and it helps make your clients get more targeted traffic which leads to a nice flow of money coming in for your clients.

I need to pay attention to each little element that makes up the SEO of a site. Because by optimizing each element for its maximum potential may very well mean the difference of being #1 or #2. And there is no better place to learn about the elements than from the Software Report. It's very detailed and really makes it simple to make the changes that need to be made.

The software gives me an educational experience with SEO every time I use it. So the more I use the Software, the better the software makes me at SEO.

@Ken Taylor

Let's put it this way: you have an ability/knowledge to deside what's good or bad for you and interpret the data the right way.

There are thousands of people however who do not have the understanding of SEO or copy at all. So for those folks, it's better to follow the software's advice.
