SEO Elite Summary:
SEO Elite is SEO software for sale. I went to the SEO Elite website. I found a list of websites that use SEO Elite
for their rankings. The only page ranking number 1 mentioned in the list, is in reality ranking number 9 in Google.
The keyword-phrase used for this ranking has a low number of people searching for it.

SEO Elite promises...
So the SEO Elite advertisement goes:
...
"SEO Elite: New SEO Software!
The Grand Daddy of all SEO Software!
Get A Top 5 Google Ranking In Under 30 Days!"
...
This is what I read about SEO Elite and for sure I was interested.
So I went to the SEO Elite website to have a closer look.
There are 16 websites listed at the bottom of the page with their rankings.
Examining those 16 websites :
- 6 where about Yahoo rankings (and the advertisement stated clearly Google ranking!)
- from the 10, only 1 ranked number 1 in Google
- typing this so called number 1 website keywords in Google, the website ranks down number 9!
- and the so called number 1 website keywords is far from a popular keywords,
so not a lot of people search for that keyword AND the website doesn't rank number 1 for this keyword...
SEO software is a great help in optimizing your page for the search engine, oh yes it is.
But there is more in getting a lot of traffic to your site, than "ranking 1 in Google":
--- Always make sure you rank number 1 for a word a lot of people are looking for! ---
It would have been nice of SEO Elite to mention that on their website,
as it doesn't diminish anything about the software program itself.
SEO Elite: first impression
Whenever you are interested in something to buy on the Internet, check out the overall website.
SEO Elite website is a 1 page website...
Hmmm, now what was the first idea to set up the Internet? To give people information, lots of information. And we
are talking about a net in Internet: net means links here, there, everywhere... I didn't see any of these and I don't
like that. But that's my personal point of view. And I must admit: you can subscribe to a very very interesting 7
days course about "7 days to massive Traffic" ... from Brad Callen, founder of SEO Elite. A 7 day course using
SEO Elite of course.
SEO Elite: read and check before you buy!
Again this goes for all SEO software yo want to buy on the Internet: if they say "I ranked this website for that
keyword number 1 in Google", spend a few seconds to check it out!
SEO Elite: check out Google
SEO Elite's first sentence talks about "your page in Google"
This sounds promising: is SEO Elite "the" SEO software to get me number 1 in "the" number 1 search engine
Google?
Well, at the bottom of the screen of the SEO Elite web page you then read:
Using SEO Elite I rank number 1 in Yahoo for this, that, and more site...
Oops, Yahoo! ...
So do you want to be ranked number 1 in Yahoo, or do you want to be ranked number 1 in Google?
Everywhere I can hear you say... You want to be ranked number 1 in Google as that is at this moment the most
used search engine of all. If you get number 1 in Google, you surely will have a high ranking in Yahoo and MSN,
not the other way round!
So why starting the SEO Elite website with Google rankings and then switch to Yahoo?
But you mostly want to be ranked number 1 in Google because you have to pay for SEO Elite!
2. SEO Elite's website examples
The SEO Elite website lists 16 example pages: high example-rankings using SEO Elite.
From those 16 , there are 6 Yahoo rankings, so that leaves us with 10 Google rankings.
Remember my SEO keywords rule (Seo): SEO is well
possible if your keyword phrase has less than 5 million results in Google.
How many of the example site in SEO Elites website are below this 5 million?
Only 2 out of 10.
And how many of those 10 rank 1 in Google?
Only 1!
Hmmm. if I am going to pay big bucks for SEO Elite, then I want to be number 1.
Don't you just hate it to be number 2?
I do, especially when I need to pay for it!
3. SEO Elite's website examples : The numbers are wrong!
Example:
* keyword phrase : learn to type faster
* website typingmaster.com.au
Numbers, numbers and numbers... Always check the numbers on any website!
So SEO Elite claims to have a number 1 ranking website :
* keyword phrase : learn to type faster
* website typingmaster.com.au
It takes only a few seconds to verify what SEO Elite says :
Type in Google - learn to type faster - and see what comes out:
55 million results! and not 5 million like mentioned on the SEO Elite website.
Great you say: SEO Elite is modest, he is able to rank number 1 with a higher competition than mentioned!
Does he???
Eh, you take a few seconds and a scroll down to find typingmaster.com.au ranking number 9?
Eh, yes you say: maybe the competition took over after the time the SEO Elite website was written...
Or a typo like the 55 million that became 5 million, people do make mistakes you know...
That's why you need to check the SEO Elite numbers yourself!
Anybody can make mistakes, but luckily we can easily check everything what is said about SEO, so always check
anything said about SEO before spending money on it!
Rank 9 is not that bad after all you say....
I agree, the first time your website gets on the first page of Google is one you keep remembering.
But:
I had to scroll down to find the SEO example page and only found it because I was looking for the particular URL
stated in SEO Elite's example.
The quoted keyword-phrase : "Learn to type faster" has no ranking on the first page!
Now this is what really bothers me: if I search in Google for the exact phrase "learn how to type faster" I would
assume
that the SEO Example site would be number 1 there!
Back to Basics: what is the purpose of SEO?
Your purpose is getting as much people to your site as possible, isn't it?
SEO Elite and any software for that matter has the purpose of ranking 1 in Google.
Now it is very easy to rank 1 in Google for the keyword-phrase "jhdkghgkbdcds",
but who is looking for jhdkghgkbdcds??? Nobody!
So if nobody looks for jhdkghgkbdcds, then why bother to rank number 1 with it?
Same with the typingmaster.com.au site that has used SEO Elite for "learn to type faster":
The Overture keyword-tool says that 448 people are typing in this keyword sentence in Yahoo.
448 people... is this a lot?
Nope,
and those 448 need to find typingmaster.com.au at rank 9... not ideal SEO!
What is a nice number? Anything above 10.000 but: also know that above 10.000 "the big boys' are competing
with you, below
1000 you kind of have the field for yourself. Ranking second for typingmaster.com.au could be expected after 2
months, but
it should be number 1 in no time, even without using SEO Elite.
Real SEO for this SEO Elite example
Summarized, SEO starts before using any SEO software,
the first SEO questions to ask are:
* what is my website about?
* what do people look for related to "what my website is about"
* what is my competition?

SEO Elite does what exactly
SEO Elite has the following idea:
- look at the page that ranks number 1 in Google,
- and do exactly the same %2B a bit better, and you will be number 1
SEO Elite will examine all the SEO things that you know about for the number 1 site, and will automate the process
in mimicking this for your site.
Sounds great, but always knows that you can "fool" the search engine spiders only for so long... An idea for the
spiders not to get fooled by mimics, is to take the age of 2 pages in consideration, and rank the oldest page first.
SEO Elite Conclusion
A very easy way to sell SEO Elite better is that
Brad Callen, founder of SEO Elite, updates his SEO Elite website
so at least the numbers you check are true:
you cannot go around the facts, unless you don't know the facts!
