"I spied on all my competitors & within 3 months I am #1"
Version: SEO SpyGlass Professional 4.7
Pros
Way to many to mention. Easy to understand options and interface.
The spying brings back tons of information which takes a bit of time to understand and process but once you have done this you can use all of this gathered information to start boosting your own websites ranking.Cons
You initially get 6 months of updates for free after which updates are paid for. The updates relate to search engine algorithm and sometimes the other lower search engines get updated but Google does not so for that month I don't bother with updating the software and paying the month fee to access the updates. As soon as the bigger search engines algorithm gets updated (the software wont return any results for them) I know I should pay the months subscription fee to grab the update and continue spying on my competitors.
Summary
The software does what it says which is spying on your competitors website and showing you exactly how they have achieved their position in the search engine rankings. All you need to do for your own website is the exact same thing and a few extras in order to overtake your competitor from their spot. I have used all the information gathered in this programme and applied my own linking strategy and after 3 months I have managed to take the #1 spot for my niche.

"Also got conned - look elswhere"
Version: SEO SpyGlass Professional 4.7
Pros
I only lost $99
Cons
Where do i start? Software is buggy as all hell, java errors, crashing, etc, Then after 6 months. Just stop working. WOah i thought... i checked carefully that i was buying an ap, not a licence and revisited the site. Its crystal clear that's the case. No. they say. its not. too bad... you have to pay again. Um. no, I'm bloody well not.
Summary
Look elsewhere. Look on google, plenty of bad reviews. Look on other software sites. Plenty of people have been ripped off, not just me. Don't trust this company they are scammers.

"Total rubbish. Dishonest company selling rubbish"
Version: SEO SpyGlass Professional 4.7
Pros
None. Other software works better, does more and is cheaper.
I agree with the other posters. The favorable reviews on this site have been authored by the software company themselves to make the software appear better than it is. NONE make mention of the con which is the hidden fees so they must be fakes.Cons
Sold as a lifetime licence, but its only 6 months, and then disabled. Make no mistake, this is done intentionally. Many other companies sell their software on a 6-12 month renewable licence and the terms are crystal clear. This company intentionally makes you think you are buying the software but you aren't. As a result when you make a price comparison within similar products its seems fine, when in fact its far too expensive.
Summary
Don't buy it. You'll be sorry. Other application do more, for less.

"Save time, money and kill your competition."
Version: SEO SpyGlass Professional 4.7
Pros
Extremly user friendly with some great tutorial videos on the web. Sure, you may be able to get the same information using free tools on the web-- but it would take you hours to get all of the info SEO Spyglass provides you with and who has that time to spend on research -- I rather save time and see results!
Cons
None that I can think of -- some people complain about the live plan but for what you are getting it is worth the little cost.
Summary
This software is excellent and I have used it on multiple sites to move up in the search ranks -- there has been a few sites I just could not beat in search and using SEO Spyglass I was able to replicate the same type of backlinks in addition to some of my other competitors making me number one. If you want to save time, money and kill your competition -- SEO Spyglass is for you.

"Ripped Off"
Version: SEO SpyGlass Professional 4.7
Pros
none - nothing you cant do using free tools online
Cons
Total rippoff. Software seems to be unlimited time period, but it stops working after 6 months. I complained and was told to read the fine print... but even after doing so was still unable to find anything that made it clear the software would be disabled if i did not keep buying updates.
I mean. What ********. OK, if you don;t buy the updates and search engines changes something, sure, it might not work as well and you'll need to get an update. But for the software authors to sell their software as if its a unlimited lience with an option to buy upgrades when in fact its disabled if you don't is dishonest.
Not happy Jan. Con artists. ********. *************Summary
Don't buy it. IN fact, you CAN'T buy it, all you can do is get a short term use license even if you thought you were buying it.

"Very highly recommended"
Version: SEO SpyGlass Professional 4.7
Pros
Exceptional usability, it's the best backlink checker I've come across.
Cons
Price + live plan issue. Before the purchase, I did my research on the web to find people complaining about the additional fees, so that was what I asked before the purchase. I was told about the live plan - that it should be extended in 6 month. I don't mind it really because the tool is exceptional.
Summary
Very highly recommended, worth purchasing (with all the fees) for the detailed statistics on every link. Made my competition research very easy.
