I paid 99$/month for few months, but I end up only using keywords tracking tool... 99$ was too much only for that feature.

Any saas offering only keywords tracking? For something like 9.99$/month?

If you're just looking for rank tracking, there's a few I've heard good things about (obviously, I like Moz, but I use a lot of the other features too, and am biased):

- http://www.advancedwebranking.com/ - http://www.gshiftlabs.com/ - http://authoritylabs.com/

Hopefully those can help! And eventually, if you get deeper/broader in you marketing software needs, maybe we'll be worth another shot :-)

We have one as well (built from the ground up--my co-founder and I started building it in October 2010!)

http://whooshtraffic.com/rank-tracker/

Our rank tracker also has a competition analysis tool attached--so you can get data like # of backlinks, etc. for the top 10 Google results for any given keyword.

Co-founder weighing in here, for you HN geeks we use Erlang, RabbitMQ, and Riak for our rank tracker software.

I currently use the $100 plan on Authority Labs and their delayed reporting is incredibly frustrating. When it works it great to get detailed and exact ranking stats on keywords. When I can't get reports and keyword data is delayed 1+ days, it sucks.

I will give those other services a try.

Any keyword suggestion tools you would recommend before a site gets a lot of traffic? (other than Google's Keyword Tool)
Re:SEOmoz raises 18 million from Ignition and Foundry by plehoux on Tuesday May 01, 2012 @03:12PM (#3915939)
Tks for your time and suggestions. I will look into them.

I hear they tracked rank for some big brands at one point.

I just woke up but here we go:

- There is a version of Traffic Travis that is free (haven't used it in awhile though, and you'll see why further down the list): http://traffictravis.com

- SEO Rank Monitor is better priced at less than $20/mnth: http://seorankmonitor.com/

- The solution I use everyday is less than a one time purchase of $5. It's the Rank-O-Meter app for the iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rankometer-4google/id35903250...

You can even export white label rank reports from it!

- Allow me one more SEO tool recommendation: although it's not a rank tracker per se, check out real time analytics service called Hit Sniffer: http://hitsniffer.com

I've been using it for almost two years now, and whatever it may not have in eye candy makes up in it's very robust reporting.

Personally, I think $99 /mnth is so overpriced it's delusional, and I suspect SEOmoz's churn rate tells a similar story.
