This is a product review recently completed by Manoj at Web Analytics World. It is being reprinted here with his permission.
I was recently asked to review a product by Submit Suite called Website Popularity. Website Popularity basically tells a person how they are ranking on various measurements across the Internet. I was impressed with the speed at which it returns the data as well as the amount of metrics it returns. The cost is a one time fee of $50. This tool can be best used for many reasons:
- As a sales person who needs to provide a quick analysis for a prospect regarding their competitive landscape – A strategist who needs to report on the ongoing performance of their SEO efforts – A technical strategist who wants to take the exported results in order to create their own formula or performance grade.
Here are the metrics Website Popularity returns:
