SEO Elite 4.0 Review

                                       (Brad Callen)

Rating:  5 stars out of 5

Intro:
SEO Elite is a reciprocal linking strategy software made by Brad
Callen, who also produces the famed "Keyword Elite."  If you've got
any recent experience with Keyword Elite, you'll only expect good
things from SEO Elite.  (Search Engine Optimization Elite).

While reciprocal linking is becoming less and less important
nowadays, it still has proven to boost websites up the ladder--that
is, if it's done right.  Especially if the pages on the sites that
are linking back to you ("backlinks") are ranked higher than your pages.
It also helps for newer sites that don't have squat for page rank. And
SEO Elite V4.0 is tweaked really well for helping you get higher page
rank sites to link to yours.

Price:  $167 (at the most)

Cons:
Reciprocal (2-way) links with sites that have the same or lower page
rank as yours are becoming less effective.

Pros:
There are other link analyzing scripts out there but few that do all the
things that SEO Elite does.  As a matter of fact, some of its best
features have little to do with directly getting you backlinks.  Check
out these cool features:

Keeps you protected from 'bad neighborhoods.'  First off, it helps you avoid linking to any spammy sites to begin with.  But if for some reason a link is pulling your page(s) down, it will notify you so you can cut them off.

Keeps a running record of how your site is ranking for any term.  This one feature is worth the price in my opinion.

Finds all the high page rank sites for your particular field and allows you to 'spy' on them so that you know what's profitable and what's not; what to spend time optimizing for.

If you sell anything, allows you to find "super affiliates" to sell your stuff for you.

It does other things but these are what come to mind.

                      

Personally:
I've had good success with article marketing to boost my sites.  And
since I knew that the best way to climb the search engine results
ladder was to get one-way backlinks among other things, I left my
copy of SEO Elite on my hard drive, unused.  (Like a lot of other stuff,
I'd bought SEO Elite--version 3.2 and earlier-- long ago and used it
without reading the instructions...had so-so results and stuck it in a
folder where it sat untouched for quite awhile.)

Not long ago, I 'pulled out' SEO Elite & downloaded the update to
version 3.2 (another good thing about SEO Elite is that Brad is always
updating it and they are all free--the latest, of course, being 4.0). 
I used it on a fairly new adsense site that was recently indexed by
Google.  Amazing how much better some things work when you follow
the instructions!  This site went from nowhere in the SERPs  (Search
Engine Results Pages) to the first page!  (not overnight, of course)
 
Yes, it does work, but like all good SEO link programs, you need to
spend 30 minutes or more a day to get the most out of them. 

There are other good programs similar to SEO Elite, like Auto Link
Exchanger, Zeus Internet Marketing Robot, and Link Assistant.  SEO
Elite, however, comes with the best instructions of any...Brad Callen
has been doing this for much longer than newcomers to the SEO
world and he's tweaked the step-by-step instructions to make them
idiot-proof.  He steps you thru the process with screenshots...
screenshots of software in action is one of the best ways to learn any
program. 

The Callen brothers (Brad and Matt) were also some of the first
internet marketers to incorporate video tutorials to the extent
that they do.  This helps you learn the a-b-c's of learning new
software tremendously.
