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, 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.

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.

My first impression with my results was, "Wow! I've got a lot of work to do!"

But again, and Dan I don't mean to be critical, but I think you should emphasize that this data is nothing more than "indicators" and that us human users need to keep one thing foremost, and that is ask ourselves, "Is this natural? How can I use the indicators to make my site more natural?"

Here's why. I have a 5-page micro-niche site with each page built on one KW phrase. As an example, in the report one KW under "H1 Headings" was 'green' and with another KW it was 'red.' So just because the number of word totals don't match up with the "Avg Comp" doesn't "necessarily" mean that I need to change it. I need to ask myself "If I change will it feel, sound, look "naturally better". I may find that not changing will be better.

Please Dan, let me know if I'm getting the hang of this. If I'm not of the right mindset, please let me know. Love this course and I'm learning a lot.

So far I'm enjoying all of the SEO PowerSuite programs except for Website Auditor. It seems to have a bug in it which causes it to freeze after step 4, and I can't get a response from tech support. I don't want to throw out the baby with the bath water, but I really could use some help here.

It can mean any or both. Check if this keyword is being searched for - that's the only way to see if it's worth working at.
You can use Google AdWords Keyword Tool for that (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) - or Rank Tracker (http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/).

Hi Dan

If your competition is not using your keyword it obviously shows up on the report as needing action. Does this mean that the keyword needs to be changed or would it be by some miracle that I have chosen a unique keyword no one has thought of?

Regards

Phil

Anna,

It's all right to have 1-3 keyphrases. Actually, in most casses (including this one) you can think of keywords and keyphrases as synonyms. Just make sure your keyphrases flow naturally in your text and you're safe to go.

Hi Dan,
I have a question. At step two in the WebSite Auditor you're told it is best to target 1-3 keywords. Is 1-3 keyphrases too much?
Thanks
