Hello!

I'm new here
Actually I'm quite new to the whole web-design business. I have a fair amount of knowledge in HTML/PHP coding, and some in Flash.

However I had a customer recently who required that his site was in the first page of results by google (when searching on some keywords).
I read some books on seo and some online tutorials/hints and got a general idea on the subject. I managed to do some onpage optimization and I am currently working on the offpage optimization with links to my site etc.

What I wanted to ask is , that in some e-books I read , it pointed out to 2 applications that would help me in my quest for optimizing my customers site. The first one is GoodKeywords which is a free program and I have already downloaded and used, and the second one is SEO Elite which is not free and I would like to know if anyone has used it and if it is a good investment!

I mean you can obviously do all the things by yourself, but this SEO Elite program seems to help a lot and could be a good investment for further sites requiring SEO.

What is your opinion?

PS. Sorry If I posted in the wrong forum, I couldn't find another forum more suitable for it :/
