A Look at GRSeo Software, Search Engine
Optimizer
By Robin Nobles
Are you having problems achieving top rankings with your Web
pages? Are you interested in learning what to do with your Web site to boost
your chances at more visibility and targeted traffic that converts to sales?
With GR Software's Search
Engine Optimizer software, you can run your Web pages through the program,
and it will immediately offer easy-to-understand suggestions and tips that will
help boost your chances at top rankings.
Plus, it's simple to use. Here are the basic steps:
1. Set up a new Project for each Web site that you work with.
2. Point the program to the directory on your hard drive where you
store your Web pages. You can also import pages from the Web directly to your
hard drive.
3. Point the program to an exact Web page.
4. Choose the keyword phrase that you want the page to be found
under in the major search engines and directories.
5. Under Options, choose which options are important for you. For
example, I chose not to consider the final "s" when matching keywords; to skip
words whose length is less than three; and to automatically run the report in
my browser. In this area, you can also choose your favorite HTML editor, text
editor, and two other user tools of your choice, such as an HTML validator or a
keyword density tool.
6. Under Checker Elements, choose the search engine that you want
the page optimized for. If you've created a general page and want it optimized
in a very generalized way so it will appeal to the most search engines, choose
Generic Engine.
7. Click Start. The report will almost instantly be created, and
your browser window willto display it for you.
The program covers 16 search engines and directories, and it will
check your pages against over 60 different elements, including many
spam-related elements that could cause your site to be banned from the search
engines altogether.
If the program offers a suggestion that you don't understand, go
to the Report tab of the program and double click on that suggestion. The
program will point you to the exact location in your HTML file of the problem
area.
If you view the results in your browser window, you'll see both
the short and expanded descriptions of the problem areas as well as various
tips related to that particular engine. If you view the results through the
Report tab, you can double click to see the expanded description.
For the directories, the program doesn't actually run your pages
through its various checks. Instead, it offers 10 different tips related to
each directory as well as the latest news from that directory.
So, the Tips area for both the engines and directories is where
you can learn if the engine has formed a new partnership with a pay-per-click
engine, for example, as well as other newsworthy items. It also offers tips
that are unable to be included in the actual checks.
For example, here's one of the tips for the Google search engine:
Google is now powering AOL Search. (short description)
This summer, Google began to power AOL Search and its partners,
including CompuServe, AOL.com, AOL, and Netscape. Google is also the exclusive
provider of sponsored links for these sites with their Adwords Select listings.
For more details read the press release from Google:

(expanded description)
One of the best parts of the program is that its "checker" file is
updated every month with the latest happenings related to each engine and
directory. When an engine changes its algorithm, and when it is determined how
that change affects a Web page, it's added to the program. So, with this
program, you're always up to date with the latest strategies in working with
the engines and directories.
A free trial version is available that analyzes your pages for two
search engines, so visit this URL to try it out for yourself.
