WebPosition Gold

Just curious if any of you use or have used this product before? I used it ~7 years ago when SEO was a new thing (and easy, compared to today) Back then, it was great and, I believe, an industry standard. But nowadays, I hear good and bad, so I'm not sure if the investment is really worth it.

I appreciate any input.

Isn't worth a nickle. Search engine change dramatically over say 6 months - by the time they are competent at the current SE changes - the SEs change...???

While there is more than rank checking there - you get more here for free, plus near real time advice for free... and since you need to "read WPG to gain any advantage from their advice" and it is the "latest"... you tell me what the real value is...?

rank checking? - well you can get that free as well elsewhere.

..and since knowing where you rank - doesn't actually change where you rank - it is underproductive to check - if your sales didn't improve well "it didn't do anything for you".

It's a telling sign when the only product EVER to be listed on Google quality guidelines... as what not to use.

Not only not to use... but has penalized and outright banned anyone caught using it. Anyone fostering the use of WPG has their head where the sun doesn't shine. Bottomline: do not take the risk.
