Well , This is a little bit different question then the best seo softwares

so softwares like
SEO ELITE Cannot be called as SEM Software because it is only a link building software

Good SEM Softwares
Webceo
WebPosition
AddWeb

What do you suggest ?

I have personally used the Webceo 6.5 Professional Unleashed Version and i am enjoying it , but what is your favourite ?

I use WPG to track fluctuations in organic rank across the engines, clickpath to track offline conversions(phone calls), atlas to manage my ppc, etc... but I cringe a little at the term "SEM Software". The best marketing software of any kind is located between your ears.

I use WEB CEO Pro Unleashed to speed up some processes but like rob said, if you optimize just based on what any software is telling you, it will most likely not end up in your favor.

One of the great things about marketing is that, if you develop your knowledge/exposure/expertise, you are at very little risk of losing your job to a machine or having it outsourced to India.

I tried IBP 9, SEO Elite and WebCEO (yes, it is kind of hobby to test the SEO soft ) and can say that as for me WebCEO is the best. But of course one should remember that no software can substitute the brains, it is just a way to automatize the work

Yes i agree , Softwares just help you to fasten your work
Search engines techniques changes on daily bases and it's your theory on which you work not a software but you can run software according to your theory !

Webceo and webposition may be checked.:wub:
