So I have this webceo software freebie thingand it has some interesting stuff in it. Yet many of you are skilled SEO experts here, is this software any good to use for a do it yourself person?

I run the optimization tools and I have a few things wrong like no descriptions for my pictures and my title has stop words.

I just didn't know if this software is any good, and if there were any that are?

software can only tell you what it's programmed with, if that's crap then the result will be crap

Does your title make sense when reading it?
Would it still make sense without the "stop" words?

No it does not. Thats why I could not understand why it was telling me to get rif od the word And

**chrishirst** · 05-13-2006, 04:45 AM

Then don't

this concept of stop words is flawed WRT SE results

take a read through some of these

Chris I would take the advice of any seo software with a grain of salt. WebCeo is also probably giving advice on how to write your meta keywords tags and you've probably seen both Chris and I mention many times that meta keywords aren't all that useful.

Part of the problem with seo software is that the software is updated far less often that the changes going on in the seo world. For people new to seo you can learn some things from this kind of software, but they all have some advice that isn't meaningful and some that's even wrong. That can be a problem if you can't tell what is and isn't the good and bad advice.

Your best approach will probably be to run the analysis and make some notes about what questions you then want to go on and research a little more. I wouldn't just take the advice of the software though and implement it.

that all makes sense. When your new it seems like you want to start finding answers to make your site stand out. One of those things, is seo. A piece of software sounds nice, yet it seems like it may get you in more trouble than its worth
