Well it wasn’t an easy answer because I wanted to give our customers a recommendation that I felt was at least as good as MasterSiteManager.

And while I never would have admitted it while we were online, we did have a competitor that offered a very similar service with some extra “bells and whistles” that MSM just didn’t have.

After testing all our competitors software personally, I kept coming back to one particular company because they simply offered the best tracking, ease of use, interface and pricing.

Yes they are  $5.00 more expensive then we were at the Starter level, but it offers some very cool features that we didn’t and is well worth the incremental price difference.

However, they do offer a free trial account that will let you track 1 URL and up to 10 keywords, which is all some people really need.

This was accomplished by splitting the database over multiple servers. Unfortunately, one of our programmers forgot to update the database look up table, and so a few users (less the then 4) were not getting their stats updated as quickly as normal.

The issue has been corrected and now all user accounts are operational, with the added advantage of even faster look-up speeds for both keywords and general statistics.

I personally apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you or your clients.

Thanks for your continued support!

Knowing EXACTLY how many outbound links your site has isn’t just about SEO, and funneling page rank anymore.

When hackers break into your site they are far more likely to hide links on home page to game the search engines than do much of anything else like messing with your homepage, planting a Trojan or crashing your server/site.

If you’re not constantly checking the HTML code of your home page you will have no idea that you’re a victim of link spam.

To make matters worse if you don’t catch it soon enough, there is a VERY GOOD possibility that Google will ban you from their search results for linking into hundreds of “Bad Neighborhoods”.

Sure you can fix it (if you find it that is) and reapply for readmission into Google, but what a huge pain and waste of time.

The good news is hackers are pretty greedy and if they’ve taken the time to break into your site, they usually don’t just post 1 or 2 links – they post hundreds!

But now (in addition to all the other great stuff it does) Master Site Manager SEO monitoring software tracks the number of outbound links coming from each of your sites – and in effect, giving you an ‘early warning” that you’ve been hacked!

For example, if you see the number of outbound links on your site jump to 200 or 300, check your site ASAP -  it’s likely that a hacker has managed to get in and plant links to his porno / casino / sex drugs web sites.

Here’s an example how bad the problem is with blogs like wordpress:

The second reason we added “Outbound link tracking” to Master Site Manager is as an assistance tool for building your own link network.

If you have a site with a high number of outbound links on it you need to remember that each of these links will have less power than if it had only 3 or 4 outbound links.

You may want to work at lowering the number of outbound links on the site (or at least your home pages) so that its links to your “money” site have more power in them.

Now there is nothing else you need do in order to add “Outbound Link Tracking your account. Master Site Manager will automatically track this for you just like it does for all your other SEO Tracking Stats.

Keyword Deletion: Instead of having to remove keywords that you are tracking one at a time, now you can select any number of keyword and delete them all with just one click.

This new feature comes in very handy when deleting seo monitoring campaigns or client sites.

Also if you are tracking a few hundred or a few thousand keywords, being able to delete large groups at once saves you even more time.
