Positioning Agents...Worth it or Worthless??

Well, we all know when it comes to building websites that the phrase "build it and they will come" does not apply here. You can rely on the good old meta tags and pray you get spidered, or you can enlist a little help. I have been submitting and creating sites for 4 years now, and just recently I have completed a fairly comprehesive study on several positioning agent-type software packages out on the market. Web Positioner Gold is the one that I feel holds the majority of the keys to effective web placement. I have tried Site Promoter and several other engines, and all seem to be a lot more work then they represent. Web Positioner, although time-consuming, is effective. It uses the known criteria that the search engines use to rank your pages, and helps you with its tips in creating a splash page that is directly targeted for a specific keyword or phrase. I found that their technical support was outstanding, and they offer not only voice support, but a money-back guarantee if you do not place in the top 10 when using their software. The demo program is fully functional in all aspects, except that it only submits to 3 engines until you purchase the registration codes. Not only will it let you generate custom reports for you, but as a webmaster, you can have it create custom reports for your clients with your name and logo. It tracks the pages you submit, monitors them (you can automate this), and lets you know their rankings. Not only can you grade your page, but you can grade your competitors as well.
