2017-03-20 04:57:37 | By DamianKolen

Pros

+ Collects a lot of links, checks actual presence and analyzes quality
+ Unlike most of tools, allows adding backlinks manually from any extra sources (to see the most complete picture)
+ Lets you spy on competitors` backlinks and investigate their tactics
+ Has a disavow file generator

Cons

- Maybe the 40K limit per project, still no limits for the number of projects

Summary

The most intuitive backlink tool I`ve tried, a perfect fit for regular audits to stay safe from penalties and negative SEO attacks, and a good source for new ideas. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

"Five stars for sure!"

Pros

The pros are numerous, the major ones being the features: competition research, link analysis, link penalty feature. Easy to use, nice interface, stable.

Cons

A suggestion for future version: inbuilt proxies would help a lot

Summary

SEO SpyGlass is nice and simple, it does the job. Great to use for multiple projects. You can use it both to spy on your competition and keep track of your own links. There's also this nice and new link penalty feature: the software checks all your links to analyze whether they're harmful.

This is an excellent applications, the others don't compare to it. It's easy to use and I use it daily. Consistently stable with a variety of options yet relatively easy to use.

Well worth the price in my opinion. One of my all-time favorite programs.

"don't buy this junky product SEO Spyglass -- scam!"

SpyGlassTerrible May 02, 2013 / Version: SEO SpyGlass 5.5.4

2013-05-02 20:45:22 | By SpyGlassTerrible

Pros

This product has no pros, no redeeming qualities. It's a scam. As scamsters I'm sure the company will go bankrupt soon as their business model is silly.

Cons

This is marginally good at best analysis software that DOES NOT build links and the SCAM part is that even though you pay a high purchase price the software STOPS WORKING if you don't pay a HEFTY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION supposedly because the "search engines" have updated their algorithms, which we all know happens daily so what does that have to do with their CRAPPY SOFTWARE? who knows. DON'T BUY IT IT'S A SCAM -- SCAMMERS -- RUN AWAY NOW AND TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY WITH YOU -- SEO SPYGLASS SUCKS -- sucks I say! Piss poor, weak! Run!

Summary
