Competitor monitoring and new hosting

Competitor monitoring and new hosting

Time for an update on where things are with SEOsupporter. I have been really busy with my work at Just-Eat, and have unfortunately have little time over the last three weeks for work on SEOsupporter. But this weekend I finally found time to get cracking on some very important stuff that will help make the service better.

First off, I felt it was necessary to move the site to a more powerful webhost. The daily data updates are beginning to become substantial and I wanted to automate that part. I used Site5 for other projects and have been very satisfied with their hosting (if you want great hosting at a very low price – give them a try). So over the weekend I decided to do the move. It didn’t go as smooth as I had hoped, and it resulted in almost a day and a half of downtime. I’m sorry for that, but am glad to say that a lot more power is now behind the site and it means I can start adding more data-intense features.

Having the new hosting in place I spent two days on integrating competitor monitoring into the projects, and it has turned out great! It’s not done yet, but the basics are in place and I will keep working on it so you get maximum value out of it. Right now you can track up to three competitors and keep an eye on their rankings on all keywords you are tracking on a project, as well as the basic domain SEO data (pagerank, pages indexed, backlinks and Alexa rank). You setup the competitors under the “Competitors” tab in a project.

Oh and to finish off – a celebratory note. Yesterday we passed account number 100! So happy that people are liking the service and have had some great feedback from everyone. I will do my best to make sure the service and tools grows and becomes better and better. If you have suggestions or feedback on features, please let me know.
