Great seo app! Nice to see a company creating native Mac OS X seo apps. Have been a user of SErank for a while and SEintelligence.

I've been using SERank for over a year now and own a few other rage products. I've tried a lot of other seo products both downloadable and online. I have found SERank to be, by far, the easiest one to use on my Mac. Most other rank tracking products are built for Windows first, but SERank looks and works fantastic on my Mac!

The only one feature it is missing is scheduling. But because you can select all your websites and have it run in the background by itself, it's not the biggest deal.

I also, love the Google Analytics integration. It tells you how many visitors come to your site from each keyword. It's interesting to see when a well ranked keyword either brings you a lot of visitors or very little. Letting you know which keywords you should really be targeting and which you can forget about it.

Support has also been great!

...which won't even show you details or price in their spam-esque website? Smells fishy to me. SERank at least is a legit software offering, while not perfect, is consistently working towards improvement.

@Frodo_life: The products do different things. I think most user will find SERank much easier to use. Most importantly, SERank is a 100% native Mac OS X tool. If you find some features in Market Samurai that you would like in SERank, please let us know.

But feel free to download both apps. I think most users will prefer SERank's ease of use, interface, and features over what Market Samurai offers.

It offers a number of features that Market Samurai does not have including extensive PDF reports, Google Analytics integration, competitor analysis features, easy searching of multiple websites with multiple keywords (to name a few). Plus, combined with our new SEIntelligence app, you'll have a full set of Mac OS X native SEO Tools.

But we're always opened to improving our software and look forward to any and all feedback we get!

The current version appears to work very well on Lion. No crash reports or issues. Please let us know if you have any specific problems with it and we would be happy to look into it.

Without seeing the crash reports we won't be able to provide an adequate solution.

Thank you for the crash report. The problem isn't Lion, it is the case sensitive file system. SERank will work on Lion.

We should have a fix shortly for the case sensitive file system.

This software was pretty useless for me, and the company wasn't much of a help!

Most of my domains have an international domain and I check their rankings against google in their respective locations, the problem here is that "Rage" only let you check it against google.com ( in the demo mode ) which is useless to me. Reaching out to the company with this issue went completely ignored! So that's what you can expect from this company.

So thanks but no thanks. NO money for you.

Your situation may vary, but I would be careful from a company whois ignoring support requests even for potential clients.

Hi,

Sorry you did not receive a response to your question. Did you check your SPAM folder or Junk folder. We respond to all questions sent to out support department.

You say the software was useless to you because you can't check international domains with the demo version? That is correct, but the paid version lets you do this of course. We also offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you don't like the software.

The demo version is just for seeing how the software works. Checking one search engine is the same as checking all of them, they work they exact same way. Plus again, if you don't like the paid version you still get the money back guarantee.

We can't give all the features away for free :)

If this supported automated / scheduled checking of rankings it would be much much nicer. I had expected to see that in version 2.0;-(

I have the same question, as I haven't upgraded. Some of the 2.0 features are for the Pro version. I have the standard edition, and don't care all that much about my competitors ranking. But I like using the latest bug-fixed version, so would like to upgrade if there was just a little more beef.

Had it had the feature to auto-update, whether launched or not, on a custom set interval, now THAT would be something! Advanced Web Ranking has such a feature.

This is a counter review to my previous review, since I've finally been able to use this app. Maybe it is me, I dunno... Anyway, it works fine now...

Feature request for version 2.0:
I would like to see some automatic checking, like in Advanced Web Ranking, where the app checks rankings according to a user defined schedule. The app doesn't even have to be open, it just does it in the background. That would be neat.

And let me add: SERank does not support use of Yahoo and Google API's in order to be able to check rankings safely.

SERank DOES support using APIs for Yahoo. That is how it checks your Yahoo rankings.

There are no APIs to check Google's ranking. They were discontinued a long time ago.

If you want to know what SERank is doing, feel free to email us at our support pages at http://www.ragesw.com/support/

I would be happy to answer your questions. However your assumptions here are misleading for users who have not yet used the software.

Our software CANNOT hurt your search engine rankings in anyways and is as safe as any other rank checking application.

Well well well what can I say... I really want SERank to work, since I'm a registered user.

But - it has many glitches, some get fixed in a new version, then reintroduced in the next version. But worst of all:

The human emulation does not work - so often, after using SERank to make a simple check on search ranking, I can't use Google afterwards, since Google deems my IP address to be equal to a spyware or spam robot! Then I have to write a captcha in order to make Google let me in. That is ok, but I get goosebumps by thinking about hidden Google ranking penalties my site may get as a result of this.

Talk about brute force SEO tactics;-(

Now I consider getting Rank Tracker or Advanced Web Ranking instead.

When doing searches by Keywords, Google has no idea what URL you are searching for. If it were the case that you could sabotage your rankings by using a Rank Tracking program, than anyonecould sabatoge their competitors rankings very easy.

You will not hurt your rankings in any way by using SERank.

Furthermore, the emulation can be adjusted in the Preferences. If you are checking a lot of keywords and a lot of urls, adjust the wait time in-between checks in the Preferences. Our algorithms are no less effective than in any other competing applications.

You are right on the keyword searching. My bad.

It doesn't matter how long you set them, if you are checking a lot of keywords and a lot of websites this will inevitably happen. We are working on more sophisticated ways of checking your rankings BUT this will happen at a certain point with any automated Rank Checker.

I don't know how many keywords or websites you are checking or how often so I can't say if are the norm, or going way above what the average user would check. If you would like to discuss this issue further for your particular case, please email me using the form at http://www.ragesw.com/support/

And please see my response to your other feedback. WE DO support the Yahoo APIs. They are ALWAYS used, so you don't have to worry about it. Google discontinued their APIs for SEARCH a long time ago so we can not support them. You can not get an API key for them anymore.

Please remember, we are working on ways to improve this, but the problem is not unique to SERank and can in no way effect your websites Google rankings, or rankings on other search engines.
There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
