As someone who’s used and tested a click fraud detection and tracking system called PPC Assurance I received an email earlier from their CEO with a special offer. The offer was for a free trial of their full system which was just completed. Rather than summarize I’ll just copy-and-paste the email information. But first, you may want to read a bit about PPC Assurance to get an idea about what it is. We’ve got a short write-up on our PPC Engines page.
But what’s the offer? Here’s what I got in my email:
We’re offering you a FREE TRIAL of our full PPC Assurance reporting service until December 14, provided you sign-up by November 2. Once the trial is over, you’ll also get the discounted price we’re offering for future months!
The faster you sign up, the faster you’ll get your PPC campaigns audited and your money back for any bad clicks! If you choose to cancel, email us before December 14, and we won’t bill you on December 1. It’s that simple.
Sign up today, for your FREE Trial on PPC Assurance at http://ppcassurance.enquisite.com/couponcode.html, sign in, sign-up, and you’re off!
On the payment information page (specifically the credit card entry screen) enter the coupon code “ENQ-1102″. The purchase process will only accept that code or an empty coupon box.
This tool is highly recommended for anyone running a PPC campaign. From the day I first got a look at it in San Jose when I was sitting on a panel with Richard Zwicky I was impressed, I have since recommended it to clients and will extend that recommendation on to you. And let’s face facts, … the price is right.

Well it’s finally happened, the fine folks over at Redmond seem to be making at least some minor gains against Google and Yahoo! After literally years of losing search market share (due in large part to an under appreciation for what search would mean in the early days) MSN is finally making gains against the search giants.
The latest ComScore results are out and they show the following for the major engines:
- Google sites dropped from 50.7% market share in May 2007 to 49.5% in June showing a drop of 1.2%
- Yahoo! sites dropped from 26.4% market share in may to 25.1% in June with an overal drop of 1.3%
- Microsoft sites rose from 10.3% to 13.2% from May to June with an overall gain of 2.9%
- The Ask network held steady at 5.0% market share
- The Time Warner Network dropped from 4.6% to 4.2% between May and June of 2007
Some other points from their stats:
- Americans conducted 8.0 billion searches online in June, up 6 percent versus May and up 26 percent versus June 2006.
- Google Sites led the pack with 4.0 billion search queries performed, followed by Yahoo Sites (2.0 billion), Microsoft Sites (1.1 billion), Ask Network (403 million), and Time Warner Network (341 million). Despite declining in search market share in June, both Google Sites and Yahoo! Sites enjoyed increases in search query volume.
- Microsoft Sites experienced a significant increase in search query volume (up 36 percent) and search market share (up 2.9 share points) in June, due in large part to Live Search Club, a program launched by Microsoft in late May to engage and reward users of Live Search.
We of course would once again like to extend our sincere thanks to ComScore for making this information available.
Please note that the variables used to power our free keyword activity tool have been updated to reflect the new marketshare numbers.

Today we launched my personal favorite of our recent tools and that is a keyword density and Google rank checking tool. Enter any page into the form and we’ll crawl the page, retrieve the most common terms in one, two, and three keyword strings and provide for you the densities of all the terms in the list.
After that we’ll let you select which terms you’re most interested in with checkboxes or you can use a search box to speed things up and we’ll provide your rankings on Google for all the phrases you’re interested in. It’s a great tool and definitely one worth adding to your favorites.
Tip: this isn’t just useful to check your own site. Enter your competitors’ pages and find out what they’re targeting and how they’re ranking.
You’ll find this new tool here and the rest of our tools (now 11 and counting) on our free SEO tools page.

Here we go again, yet another free SEO tool from Beanstalk. Let me know when you’re getting tired of them. 
The tool launched today allows for a simple comparison of some of the key onsite elements between your page and the pages of your main competitors. It takes a look at titles, meta tags, body text and even shows you the top 2 and 3 word phrases used on each of the sites to give you an idea of what else they may be targeting. You’ll find this new tool here.
The tool we’ll be launching is one of my favorites of our current offerings though we have some great ideas for future enhancements. So be sure to come back again tomorrow or bookmark our free SEO tools page.

For those of you who visit our blog/site regularly you’ll know that we’ve recently taken to launching free SEO tools for our visitors. Today we are launching two more. These tools are geared towards helping you get a better understanding of how spiders are seeing your site.
The first tool is a site index tools. We’ll send out a crawler and report back which pages that page links to, both internally and externally. This allows you to quickly and easily determine how crawlable your links are and where your pages are linking to. You’ll find this tool here.
The second free SEO tool we’re launching today is a search engine spider test tool. Essentially we’ll crawl any given page and report the page back to you as a search engine spider will see it. We’ll also give you the keyword denisty of some of the more commonly used terms on your site, your word counts and more. Very handy for making sure the search engines are seeing your site the way you do. You’ll find this tool here.
We’ve got more coming so be sure to visit our blog regularly or bookmark our free SEO tools page.

Well, after this morning’s little rant about Matthew Rankin I thought it might be nice to speard some good cheer. And so we launched another tool.
The tool launched today it the first in our onsite SEO section and is a Search Engine Saturation Tool. Basically it provides the details on how many pages you and your competitors have indexed on the major engines. As you likely know, the more pages you have indexed the strong your site will appear to the search engines. There’s also a handy by-product and that is that the more pages you have the more phrases you’re likely to rank for.
You’ll find this new tool on our site here and all our SEO tools on our free SEO tools page.
