Link managment software opinions..

I have looked at:

SEO Studio http://www.trendmx.com/

WebCEO http://www.webyield.net/webceo.html

SEOElite http://www.seoelite.com/

Arelis http://www.axandra-link-popularity-t...m/download.htm

I actually bought SEO Studio and found that in use it really doesn't live up
to the demo version and is full of bugs.

All of the above software *seems* to do the same thing; find and manage
IBLs. Does anyone have any experience of the above products and which do you
recommend?

I am simply trying to do the following:

1. Find out exactly who currently links to me, and decide who I want to link
back to.

2. Look for high page rank *relevant* sites and request a link partnership.

All of the above programs appear to do this but after being severely let
down by the effectively useless SEO Studio, I though I would ask here for
opinions before I hand over any more cash.

Thanks

Paul

in Google, type in the search bar: link:www.your-web-site.com
in Yahoo, type in search bar: link:http://www.your-web-site.com

partnership.

Lots of different software for this task automatically. Personally I like
PRProwler. The traditional way to do this, however, is to perform keyphrase
searches and generally, the higher PR sites are closer to the top positions.

Just a opinion here, PR is one factor to consider when developing linking
partners, if you feel that you must. Other factors such as link relevance
( similar keyphrases as yours ) are just as or more important.

Most of all you want authority sites, government, educational
facilities, military.

I use SEOElite but don't recommend it for link management because you are
not able to manually add links that you obtain from sources other than
SEOElite.

You can do this with Arelis. They are coming out with a new version soon
which looks promising. The upgrade to the new one will be free, according to
the company.

I think link management is probably best done using an online service. The
only problem with the online services are they want too much money. $5 per
month should be enough to cover costs and still make a profit.
I haven't tried Arelis but it looks like it does much of what SEOElite does.
