After using NEMedia’s RANKSENSE SEO tool for over a few weeks, I decided to write a little review of the product.  I am not an affiliate of RankSense and they are not or ever have been a sponsor of any website of mine.

On October 15th I downloaded and installed RankSense software on my Dell XPS M1710 laptop.  My laptop has an 2ghz Intel Pentium Core 2 processor with 2 gigs of memory.  After installing and starting up RankSense, I immediately noticed it’s sluggish performance going from one screen to the next.  It does call up information from the web as you progress, and I’m on a 10mbs line, but it seemed a little much.  BUT, aside from this one flaw, I found the tool rather useful.

I’m not overly educated in the area of SEO and I actually learned a bit by just using RankSense’s SEO tool.  It gave me a much better understanding of what others are actually searching for in my niche, and also what surfer’s are typing that is helping my COMPETITION!  This feature I actually liked very much as it gave me a little insight as to what others are finding success with. 

Ranksense has a nice little tutorial built into each screen as to how you can use it to your benefit and what everything on the page actually does which I found extraordinarily helpful.

Overall, I didn’t get to spend as much time as I wanted to using RankSense’s tool before my trial period was up, but besides the rather, sometimes painful, pokiness of the next screens loading, I did find a useful tool to learn and benefit from.  One additional great point about RankSense’s SEO tool, or rather about RankSense, themself:  I actually went two days past my trial period and was billed for a subscribtion.  Within 10 minutes of emailing RankSense and requesting to have my subscription cancelled and the charge reversed, IT WAS DONE!  I am amazed by the quality of their customer service and the three email’s I recived in 10 minutes beginning with acknowledgment of my email, to the completion of my charge being reversed.  They were outstanding.

Right now, I’m not overly focusing on SEO for my blogs, which I actually should be doing more then I am.  But if I was and hadn’t tried their product before, it is something that I would recommend at least checking out.  They have a 30 day free trial backed by a 90 day risk free gaurantee.  If you are currently looking for the right SEO tool for your blog or website, you having nothing to lose by trying them for 30 days.  I can personally say from experience they are an upstanding business with better then acceptable business practices.
