KLAGRECA  Updates to 2.0 look good but what's the consensus, do you all think its worth the upgrade price?

BUMBLEB  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.

BUMBLEB  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.

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

PLEVINE  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.

***..

BUMBLEB  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.

PLEVINE  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.

BUMBLEB  Paul > Then out of the box the delays should be longer. And SERank should support Google and Yahoo API's.

You are right on the keyword searching. My bad.

PLEVINE  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.

JCIZZO  I really love this app. In addition to its stylish interface and ease of use, the app is so helpful for me to keep track of all my websites rankings, and to keep an eye on competitors and analyze how they are ranking high. Thanks for the update!

DETLEVSKI  A word of warning before you buy, I own about 150 software licences and I guess this is a company with the worst support I have ever seen. They don't do anything with feedback, but they lie about and features, you can read it below or read it yourself over here : http://www.ragesw.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=872

Question How about adding Dutch and Belgian Search Engines ?

This is something we can certainly add.

If you can wait a few days I can get you a patch for these search engines. I hope to get it to you soon, things are just a little busy with the new release here today.

Glad to hear your like it.

November 22rd 2007

Great, I fully understand how hectic it must be at the minute, but consider yourself a definite sale as soon as those two search engines are active :)

November 29th 2007

And another one for dutch/belgium engines, unfortunately I've already purchased SERank.

Yesterday I bought Advanced WebRanking, for all you dutchies out there, do the same.

I don't SERank is going anywhere ... what a waste.

November 29th 2007

We have already added new search engines for netherlands and belgium. We are just doing some testing but we hope to get a patch out later today for you guys.

I am sorry you feel SERank is a waste, but we are only at version 1.0. There are a lot more features we will be adding.

December 7th 2007

How can I become this patch? I'm curious...

December 10th 2007

Paul,

You wrote that the patch is ready... and I'm ready to try...

December 11th 2007

Sorry for the wait. We will be releasing a public update with additional search engines very shortly.

Stay tuned though for an announcement before the release of RAGE SERank 1.1. We have a new free tool that works great with RAGE SERank and will definitely be helpful.

DETLEVSKI  It's good to see a non-Java native mac app for SEO. Downloaded the demo and it looked promising. Unfortunately you cannot add search engines yourself and that's a pity, because my market is in the Netherlands en Belgium.

One should be able to add more ..

I guess I was to quick buying SERank ....
