Seo Elite Scam
Before I started writing the review for SEO Elite, I kept ordering my thoughts in my head. It is a good product, a product that can be used especially by beginner and intermediate SEO specialists in order to increase the rankings. Well, actually, the best feature of SEO Elite is the fact that you it offers you an interface for analyzing the competition’s links as well as your own.
Well, I was going to write all that and give it at least 4 stars, and then I made the mistake of entering the software’s website… just for extra inspiration. And there it was: a typical Internet Marketing scam! Another one… one that really saddened me, as I always believed that Brad Callen, the creator of SEO Elite, was above the fold.
The product used to cost a one time fee of $167. When I entered the website, to my amazement, it said only $47. “A very good deal”, I said to myself. What had made Brad Callen lower the price so much? I don’t know why, but I started reading the fine print, and there it was:
“After the full 30 day trial is up, we’ll bill you the special member price of only $47/month. “
So it doesn’t actually cost $47, it’s $47/month! I bet that 95% of all the people wanting to buy Seo Elite are convinced they are paying a one time fee of $47. Just another scam in an ocean of scams! I am deeply disappointed by Brad Callen and this… well, this belongs in the Hall of Shame.

The monthly payment fee is killer. Everybody is hopping on the membership plan these days. I hate it. I guess it does mean the software is updated regularly and you won’t pay for updates but the monthly fee thing hurts.

I think you should re visit the site and take a look down farther. It is 167.00 with no membership. I don’t know why he put all that crap up there.. Looks terrible. I copied the sales pitch from his website below. I own it and think it was well worth the money. I also own Keyword Elite, I wouldn’t buy KE one again.

The $167 one time fee seems to have vanished. SEO Elite is apparently subscription only now.

He actually has 2 prices for this software. When you enter his website at seoelite it randomly redirects you to one of the two following pages:
The $167 price:

The $47/month price:

I also fell for this scam. It says
Get Full Access To SEO Elite for only $47! - Not $47 per month…
Rip off…
Get a copy of SEO Elite for only $47, less than filling up your gas tank! Use it for an entire 8 weeks. If you don’t see a dramatic increase in your website’s rankings and traffic, simply contact us and I’ll issue you a prompt refund. No questions asked. No hard feelings.
No hard feelings my a**. Dirty Dogs. I am going to flood the internet with dodgy reviews about this company. I have about $500 in adword credits. I need to use them for something.
