Does SEOprofiler work with websites from my country?

SEOprofiler is an international SEO tool that works with websites from all countries that use the Roman character set (for example, English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Swedish, etc.).

Is it safe to use SEOprofiler?

SEOprofiler uses only search engine optimization methods that play by the rules of the search engines. These methods are called white-hat SEO. This has several advantages:

• Search engines: They win as they are provided with pages that are easy to understand and that contain the quality information that their visitors search for.
• Searchers: They win as they are getting what they ask for from the search engines. They search for “inexpensive lcd tv” and get a page about inexpensive lcd tv’s.
• Web site owners: They win as they are getting quality visitors who are interested in what their website has to offer.

Some companies offer fully automated “SEO” solutions. For example, they promise hundreds of backlinks automatically, or you pay a certain amount to get a certain number of backlinks, etc.

These methods are very risky and Google considers them spam. Google’s engineers are working hard on detecting automated systems and manipulation attempts. If you can find a fully automated “SEO” solution on the Internet, it’s very likely that Google’s engineers can find that service, too. If you want to get high rankings that last, avoid these so-called black-hat SEO methods.

The tools in SEOprofiler play by the rules of Google and other search engines. That means that you will get great results and peace of mind.

► Use the tools in SEOprofiler to build websites that are beneficial to web surfers, website owners and search engines. This leads to lasting high rankings on Google and other search engines.

Technical questions

From where does SEOprofiler get the competitive intelligence data?

We run our own crawling servers to offer you the best possible data for your research.

The sophisticated technical infrastructure that is needed to offer you our detailed backlink, ranking and AdWords databases costs us several thousand dollars each month.

We do the work and you get the high-quality information that you need. With SEOprofiler, you get accurate data that is not available on other websites.

Some facts about our databases:

• More than 100 web servers continually search the web for new links, rankings and Google AdWords ads.
• Our backlink and ranking databases are several terabytes big (1000 GB are 1 terabyte).
• Our databases are continually updated and extended to make sure that you get accurate and actionable data.

Can I have further information about the backlink data?

We operate our own web crawlers to find the high-quality backlinks that Google and other search engines won’t show you. Our web crawlers analyze the web and update our link database on a continuous basis, globally. As we find new pages or new links on existing pages, we can add these straight to our database.

• All of our links are available with extra data; for example, the ratio of outbound and same-site links on the linking page, the position of a link on the page or tags (in addition to data such as anchor texts, attributes, age, title of linking page, etc.).
• The database is continually updated every minute.
• All of our links are canonicalized and unique; for example, www.example.com/index.html and example.com/ count as the same link for us. Our backlink reports inform you about canonical problems on your website.
• We do not index links from Asian and most African web pages; for example, we do not index links from .cn or .th pages, because our target group cannot read these pages anyway.
• We don’t differentiate between www.domain.com and domain.com. Both count as the same subdomain for us. Of course, you can also run reports for subdomains.
• We don’t index links from a site to itself. SEOprofiler only collects inbound links, not same-site links.
• Our backlink reports group and filter the backlinks so that you get actionable information. We parse the links for you. Of course, you also get a CSV file with the raw data.
• You get up to 30,000 backlinks to any domain with SEOprofiler. That’s much more than you get from Google or other sites. If you find a service that promises billions of links, check how many links you will actually get. You will always get more links with SEOprofiler.

SEOprofiler helps you to concentrate on the really important links. You will save time and that you will get results more quickly.

Can I have further information about the AdWords and ranking data?

We monitor the rankings and ads for the 15 million most popular keywords. The top 1,000 keywords account for 10.6% of all searches, and every fifth search is for one of the most popular 10,000 keywords. 20-25% of all queries have never been searched before.

Any further keyword after the top 10,000 ones belongs to the “long tail.” Long tail keywords are very specific keywords that aren’t searched very often.

The 15 million keywords that we check represent the vast majority of the keywords that are regularly searched on Google and that regularly deliver the most visitors.

We monitor keywords in 15 countries of all continents:

• Austria
• Australia
• Brazil
• Canada

• France
• Germany
• Great Britain
• India

• Italy
• Mexico
• Netherlands
• New Zealand

• Spain
• Switzerland
• USA

We support keywords in 7 languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Just like the backlink database, the ranking and AdWords databases are continually updated.

Why does it take so long to display some results pages in my web browser?

The analysis tools in SEOprofiler deliver much more information than other analysis tools. In addition, the results are parsed and sorted so that you get the information that is the most important to you as quickly as possible.

The results pages can become very large. For example, the weekly organic keyword opportunities page can have a size of more than 2 MB. If you have a slow Internet connection and an old web browser, it can take some time to display such a page.

With a modern browser and a computer that has at last 2 GB RAM, there won’t be any problems (the more RAM, the better).

We recommend that you install the latest version of Firefox, Google Chrome or MS Internet Explorer to make sure that you get the best performance.

If you don’t want that, simply cancel your subscription during the first month. Recurring orders are non-refundable. The trial period won’t be reduced when you cancel.

Subscription products are billed on the same day every month. As months have different lengths, you’ll be billed on the 28th every month if you purchased after the 28th.

If you have already canceled your subscription, the cancellation link will not be visible.

How can I change my SEOprofiler plan?

If you want to change your SEOprofiler plan, just order the new plan here. Your old plan will be canceled automatically. We don’t prorate for partial months. Your project information will be available in your new plan (if the new plan supports the number of projects that you had before).
