Whats the score with Web Position ****????

[giddion]

I would just like to ask for peoples views on Web Position **** “page critic”

I have been doing SEO for a while now, and achieved good results.

I have been advised to use web position gold’s “page critic” to optimise titles and descriptions.

But is it all it’s cracked up to be??? I heard is was good in it's day but it's past it now.

Your views would be appreciated

Welcome giddion

If you're doing well then, IMO you are far better off using your own knowledge than using WPG page critic, I used it once about 2 years ago.... binned

Unless its changed a lot recently, other members here may use it ?

Thanks for making me feel welcome highman

And thanks for your feedback.

I'm under a little pressure to give WPG a go. But I’m unsure!

I keep getting a mixture of opinions - many BAD!

I've been told it's the industry standard. So I thought it best to ask the industry before I commit myself to something that is a waste of time and will not achieve any better results than I already am.

You could always 'give it a go' - try it on one page, it would prove the point.

You could then give us an update?

I stopped using the Page Critic about 12 months ago and even before that I only used it to "critique" some of my own techniques. If you want to use it, feel free but I wouldn't rely too much on the advice given. Trial and error will tell you what works best, IMO.

Use your knowledge and the WPG as a little guide to what they engines are looking for. If you Opt well with out it then why use it?

WPG critic? Not. Industry standard? lol.

Simply read in here.

I've used Web Position ****, and AddWeb, in the past and while they're clever packages, they surely only give a guide - you must use your own knowledge (and improve that) rather than hope any software will do it for you.

As your understanding increases, so your flexibility to respond to changes out there will benefit - otherwise you'll need to wait for a software upgrade !!!

Isn't it the same with designing sites ? DreamWeaver, for example, is a seriously competent package, but you need to understand the process to use it properly. And then - why not hand code anyway to keep complete control (and take things further) ???

IMHO, software packages are great for learning, but to be seriously competent, you need to leave them behind.

Page Critic makes a good guide, but its not the gospel. I recommend putting sites through it when you're first starting off, and everyone once in a while when you want a second opinion.

But in all honesty, its not that hard to know more than it does. By the third time I'd ever ran it on a page, the only thing it could find wrong was that I had written more copy than it thought I should, which isn't really a problem.

Page Critic also focus mainky on keyword density. While I haven't tried it yet, GRSeo seems to have more critiques, warnings and suggestions, about other subjects like stop words, using your keywords in the left cell of your table, and so on. Can anyone give me a review of this program?
