Website Popularity Tool
Disclosure: I was not paid for this review but the company did send me a free license to try out. As a side note I think this is a pretty cool way to generate buzz since they’re email wasn’t annoying and I think the tool is pretty nice.
I have got quite a few such emails over the past year or so but I usually ignore them because their product looks like spam or is completely worthless. Website Popularity, despite the generic name, is actually pretty cool.
With the free trial you can monitor two websites. The tool will calculate your inbound links, indexed pages, social tags, important directories (dmoz, etc.), and press mentions. I wouldn’t give a lot of weight to the results (they are basically as accurate as all of the other free tools out there, not 100%), but if you are using yahoo and google’s site: command, the information is all the same.
The nice thing is that it tracks information over time so you can see your backlinks increase, etc. Keep in mind that this information is of a limited utility - these days the relevance of your backlinks is more important than how many you have.
It’s not really going to give you any functionality that you can’t get yourself, but for $47 it is probably worth all the time you will spend monitoring a campaign, especially if you’re monitoring more than one website.
