Pre buy questions

I've recently upgraded my site to vb3.6 and do not want to do the manual SEO edits again as it took me days. Since VBSEO is still around, I figured I would give it a serious look again.

Questions:

1. What best tools are out there to measure spidering activity patterns?

I want to be able to see if and to what extent, the VBSEO product is having on increasing SE indexing and traffic by spiders.

2. If I buy the product, how long can I use it? How much are upgrades?

Thanx.

u buy it and you can use it forever

there is a 35$ fee for updates once a year

you can use google analytics to measure your sites stats.

vBSEO license is lifetime, but there is an upgrade fee $35 per year to access newer versions of vBSEO.

sweet! I just purchased it, and will give it a shot. thx guys.
