does anyone have experience with seo elite and IBP 8 ?

can I risk to get my link on a linfarm using these tools or be penalised otherwise? :confused:

and what is the best seo software to use...?

No software out there on the market today (or tomorrow) is able to do the proper job of a real human SEO with years of experience optimizing sites. Every website is different and needs a human, personal touch when it comes to optimization. After all, every website is 'going after' a different keyword set.

That said, there are seo tools (http://www.stuntdubl.com/2005/12/12/sem-toolbox2/) that SEOs use to analyze sites and perform optimization and analyzation tasks. Link building, a necessary part of SEO, is not and cannot be automated. But, you can use an SEO tool to help you find possible links.

So, to answer your question, IBP is actually not a tool that I recommend. You need to use a combination of tools to optimize a site and you need the knowledge of what to look for when using those tools.

I recommend that you look at the seo tools (http://www.stuntdubl.com/2005/12/12/sem-toolbox2/) that several SEOs recommend.
