Why Should I stay with SEOMOZ ?

Why Should I stay with SEOMOZ and pay a minimum of 100+ a month when you can get the same tools with no montly fees in other sites?

Do those other free tools allow you to save campaigns, have automatic weekly custom PDF reports sent to your email, and pull social data all in one place? Probably not, that right there is worth more than $99 to me

Hi Carlos,

I tend to pay close attention to where my money goes.  When I first began visiting and using this resource I came to ask myself this same question.  I thought to myself, as you do, I can get this stuff from other places.  I did spend a little time in this deliberation and found that it can be done, but I did not find it to be easy and most importantly nearly as good a quality.   I like getting this type and volume of content in one place.  Its easy to use and there seems to be new tools and information constantly coming available.   Honestly, the cost of this service never crosses my mind.

If you are doing client work then the pricing structure is barely an expense. 5 reasonable clients should make $99 insignificant - if not you need to increase your rates.

When I first signed up for pro, I wasn't able to take advantage as I got pretty busy.

This time around, I devoted some time to setting up my campaign.

In the six weeks I've been back, I've corrected multiple errors on my site as a result of the weekly crawl.
And I've seen my rankings rise even with the tumultuous times the SERPs are undergoing.

I was actually just coming on the forum to find a place to share this as I have seen real results from my efforts, the weekly crawls, the reports which I can translate into direct changes on my site, this forum, the blogs, etc

Ok, so lets drill down a bit - of course there is information 'out there' - some will be accurate and some will be hype.

Then it becomes a question of looking at the source, how do they come to their conclusions, how much do they test, what is their information based on, who are the people behind the information, what are their ethics and belief systems, what drives them. Is there accountability and transparency ... ? that type of thing

I have been on the internet for a long time, and always learning, but I like to believe that one thing I have sussed is who to follow and where to go for good information.

I use this website for myself, and for my clients ....... and wish I had more time to spend on it.

Why not give it a go for a few months, and make sure you use it, and then decide

Hope it works for you, as it does for me and that this perspecitve helps

Dont get me wrong , I love SEOMOZ , a lot of good Info and resources here , my only dilema is Why pay extra if you could get the same service cheaper.. I dont find 100 dollars a month expensive , not even 400 , 600 , etc . Whoever is in this business and cant pay 500 dollars a month for  tools and resources clearly is not doing enough money from this ( so do another thing for a living).  I just want to see what you guys think..

Here is a similar question...

I think that the private question that can be asked each month is one of the most valuable services offered.  You have access to a diversity of smart experts who will give you very valuable advice - easily worth $100 each time.   And, done in private.

Well all the information you see on  the dashboard and on campaigns are from tools , the other things I see is this forum and the learning tab which is excellent information but is information you can find for free if you know where to look. So I want you guys to tell me  what exactly im missing by no joining SEOMOZ.....

As the Oracle said, look at the tools

Take advantage of the SEOmoz community

Get answers to specific questions by the experts

Learn from the experts who have tried and tested their hunches.  (There is a lot of rubbish / noise out there from so called "experts")

Join the events - both on and off line

They are really really nice people (and fun - I know, I have met them)

The statistics they run on sites are extremely useful and save you hours of head scratching (You could even sell a report or two to pay for your monthly fee)

Time is money ...... this site will save you time, and make you money

All the very best in your quest  ............
