Take the SEOiQ vs SiteSeer Challenge
Alright, I figured I’d address this issue before it became more widely discussed (already grumbling in the forums) - and post an official SEOiQ vs. SiteSeer Challenge now.
As background: The other day a Super Affiliate Friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) informed me via conference call that he had tested out StomperNet’s SiteSeer (or “Site Seer”) application and she/he was flabbergasted at how “mediocre” it was compared to our new SEOiQ Diagnostic Test (in front of 20+ other Affiliate friends of ours) - and was amazed ours had not gone ‘mainstream’ yet.
Naturally, I figured he was simply exaggerating and stroking my ego, so I went to StomperNet to see exactly what all the hype was truly about. Unfortunately, I was met with a lot of ’shiny pennies’ and glitzy effects - and quite honestly not much substance. (I had to mute my machine after 30 seconds of the techno music from their video intro/sales piece.)
I’ve always wondered how programs/systems/applications get so popular. Clearly, salesmanship is more important than functionality, my friends (case in point).
Seriously our SEOiQ Tool blew StomperNet away…it wasn’t even a fair fight.
Upon first glance all the glitzy graphics and futuristic image transitions will impress/please the eye - see a screenshot of the SiteSeer welcome page eye candy (and I use that term loosely, unless you think web design peaked with Microsoft’s first iteration of the XBOX brand site back in 2001) below:
I have to hand it to the StomperNet folks, they truly know how to do create high value video/audio productions, but their collective ability to build a great SEO diagnostic tool needs much to be desired.
In comparison our SEOintelligence Homepage is simple and cleanly laid out:
Next step in the process is to check out the SiteSeer Tool input form. Here’s a screenshot:
Compare that to our SEOiQ Diagnostic Tool input form process to SiteSeer’s (they have almost identical inputs!) — see SEO isn’t that complicated ;):
Below are the (IMHO - lame) results from the SiteSeer diagnostic test series - long winded and very difficult to interpret (in comparison to the graphical and easy to understand SEOiQ Test 
):
Now let’s compare the SEOiQ Diagnostic test results and accompanying SEOi Toolset’s highly prescriptive results - see below:
As you can see the SEOiQ results are not ‘buried’ in a ton of rhetorical SEO 101 copy/text, instead they are all displayed in easy to read charts for simple comparison and analysis…(covering onpage and off page topics including: site structure, social networks, readability and popular search engine index stats and many more) - some other SEO diagnostic tests simply “can’t handle the truth” - ehhh hemmm.
I respect the StomperNet Team - but a spade is a spade.

Doesn’t seem fair to compare a free tool to a paid one.
Both the tools compared here ARE free. SEOi offers a paid tool, but the SEOiQ test is free.
The free SEOiQ test link is here…http://www.seointelligence.com/seoiq-testing-center.php
