OK, you can't get more explicit than that!  What do we want?  The same as everyone, I suppose - high listings for a few targeted search words.  I can't get into the details of which ones in an open forum.

Sorry, I meant what is it that you specifically wanted to do with WPG!

For example if you wanted to monitor your position (and your competitors) in the Google SERPs for your keywords then this free online tool is very good (Search Engine Keyword Tracker & Keyword Ranking Tool) http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/faq.html

2) Make sure it's optimized for SE's.
3) Promote it carefully and responsibly.

WebPosition Gold is wonderful for checking how optimized your page is for particular Search Engines, plus it is updated regularly.  I work for a company the does SEO on pages for clients and this is a central tool of ours.

If you work for an SEO company whos 'central tool' is a $300 software package that Google dissaproves of then it's time you looked for a new job or went to College.

Grow up and instead of insulting, try saying something constructive.  Google only recommends not using it for submssion.  If you don't like it, then your free to say so, but show some maturity.

By the way we get excellent results by using our methods.  Do a google search for our homepage with 'Small Business Consulting'.  We come up #1 out of over 5 million results.
