CNET Editors' review
Rank Tracker SEO Software analyzes the rankings of Web sites with search engines like Google and Yahoo. You select keywords relevant to your site, and Rank Tracker reports their search rankings.
Rank Tracker SEO Software installs easily. There's a Help file that explains how to use the program, but we were unable to tell if Rank Tracker has any other features. We analyzed two Web sites built by amateurs and one popular blog. Not surprisingly, the two amateur sites didn't make any search engine's top 100 list. The program ranked the blogger's first name in the top 100, but not the other keywords we chose. It's helpful but hardly surprising to know that our Web sites aren't on Google's radar screen, but we wish Rank Tracker gave out more information than that. Though our sites aren't ranked, any information about any hits the various search engines came up with would have been useful. Better still would have been some tips about how to improve the ranking of our sites based on Rank Tracker's analysis. Perhaps that's beyond the scope of the program, but it would have made it a much more useful tool as well as a better value.
This is an unlimited trial version of the program, but it has some limited functionality. It puts an icon on your desktop without asking, but it uninstalls without leaving anything behind. Professional Web site designers might be able to get something from this program, but it's not especially helpful for amateurs.
Publisher's Description
From Link-Assistant:
Rank Tracker is an effective rank checker and a premium keyword research tool.It uses the record number of 20 research methods to suggest a wealth of profitable keywords to optimize a site for. It also calculates each keyword's efficiency index by taking into account its search popularity and competition rate.

You can also work behind a proxy or even rotate users and proxies. Rank Tracker speaks 7 languages and is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac.

"Good to start with but it has a Java flaw."
Version: Rank Tracker Enterprise 5.4.3
Pros
Good easy to use interface,nice idea.
Cons
There is a problem with this program and its use of java.The program worked fine until the database reached 140mb.
(I have approx 500 keywords tracked over 18 months)
I received message saying the database was corrupt,I aked for help from Link Assistant who at first were good. They explained that the java component could not deal with such large file sizes. They managed to get my database to work again by deleting 1 years worth of data so now I only have the last 6 months of information. I asked if they could split the original file into 2 separate databases so I didn't loose so much information and would at least be able to delete keywords I did not think were necessary myself, this fell on deaf ears.
My opinion is, yes the program works, but only up to a point... at which time the data base will stop working.
I am very disappointed as fundamentally the program is a good idea, but there is no getting away from inherent flaw with java which we all will encounter.Summary
The idea of this software is to track keywords over a period of time. Because of its dependency on Java you will lose data if you don't manage your database sizes.

"Great software!"
Version: Rank Tracker Enterprise 5.4.3
Pros
I just started using SEO PowerSuite, and I was amazed that after just one week, I had front page Google rankings for two different keywords. Prior to that, I was not ranked for any keywords except my own business name. I'm impressed!
Cons
It's a bit pricey, especially since you have to continue to subscribe to the Live plan after the 6 month mark, but I still feel it's worth it since it gets results.
