Hi there I'm wondering if anyone had any advice on SEO software as I have used both IBP & Web CEO & I like both of them, however I was considering buying the full version and would like as much advice on this subject as possible, As the main reason that i am considering purchasing this software is the handy Link submission feature IBP has which aufo fills link submit forms for you.

Any feedback or advice would be excellent!
Cheers
Nick

If you’re deciding whether to buy an SEO suite, treat the software as a workflow accelerator, not a magic fix. Look for accurate, fresh data sources (especially backlink index size), a robust site auditor, reliable rank tracking, easy exports/APIs, outreach/workflow features, and responsive support—then compare those practical points across trials before committing. (digitalauthority.me)

Be cautious about automating bulk link submission. Mass, low‑quality submissions or large‑scale article programs built mainly to pass links are exactly the kind of link‑manipulation Google warns against; automation that sprays forms at random will usually create worthless links or worse. Use automation only to speed vetted tasks (prospecting, contact-finding, templated fields) and always personalise outreach. (developers.google.com)

A simple, safe workflow you can apply now: audit your current profile in Search Console, cross‑check with a third‑party index to prioritise prospects, build outreach that offers value to the target site, and measure referral traffic and conversions rather than chasing raw backlink counts. If you find clearly spammy links or a manual action, follow Google’s removal/disavow guidance rather than trying more automation. ()

Action checklist

  • Export Links report from Search Console and flag suspicious domains.
  • Use a link indexer (trial version) to qualify prospects by authority and topical relevance.
  • Automate only prospecting and admin work; hand‑craft the outreach.
  • Track incoming referrals in Analytics and pivot to the tactics that send real users.

This keeps the practical, hands‑on advice recommends while heeding ’s caution about detectable automation—focus on quality, measurability, and vendor features that match your workflow.

Don't spend money on SEO tools. They don't do anything that you can't do for yourself for free. Plus doing it yourself is usually far more productive.

1) Google doesn't display all of your backlinks

2) Google only updates their public backlink count every three months or so, so that information is not current.

The odds are Google knows about your backlinks so I wouldn't worry about it at all. To get more links, just submit your site to directories. Start with relevant directories then move on to directories with relevant categories.

I'm not sure about any particular SEO products, but odds are that no matter what you use, the search engines can figure out it's something automated, and might shy against that.

Since you brought up Aaron, check out his tools.seobook.com for some really good free tools that often come in handy, such as a thorough, concisive listing of all domains that link to you.
