Comment on The Inside Story of a Small Startup Acquisition

Maybe I'm missing something, but why is this a subscription app? Couldn't I run this on my site for a month, find the long tail keywords I need to improve, and then cancel? For most sites wouldn't the keywords generally stay the same?

No, they vary pretty widely, even week to week. I have several years of suggestions now and new ones continue to come up every week as I add new content and my rankings shift in the engines.

From what I know about SEO, it takes time. Why is the data useful if the results are wildly changing from week to week?

The results are not changing wildly week to week, but you do receive new suggestions frequently (depending on how much traffic you receive). And with this kind of SEO (long tail), the point is that if you write a single blog post or article focusing on the suggestion, you will rank on the first page of the search engine within a few days. That's the point of HitTail - it picks out terms you will very easily (and quickly) rank well for.

Interesting. I'm going to take the trial for a run shortly, may write a review about it in the future.
