Web CEO is is the software I use to manage and track the web marketing for my websites. I go with the Enterprise paid version which runs about $300, but if you have multiple websites you will be very happy you have this software.
I primarily use the software to track the search engine ranking for all my sites and to monitor both the incoming links and link partners for my sites.  It is great that you can set the software to run on a schedule, so I just check all my sites on a weekly basis.

Another great thing about the software is that you can check ranking all the way up to the first 1000 listing!  Most software will only go to the top 100, or 200 top listings max.

I also use the software to send out reports to customers.  You can send e-mails out automatically to customers with your own company logo if you get the Enterprise edition.

If you do SEO for a job, Web CEO Enterprise is a must have.  And if you have multiple sites I would highly recommend the Professional version.

If you do your own search engine optimization for your website, Submit Eaze is a must have.  This software is the very best for submitting your site to all the free directories.  Actually… this is the software the professionals use when you pay them for manual directory submissions.  If you run multiple websites this software will come in very useful.  If you opt to pay someone else to submit your sites manually to directories, you will pay between $125-$250 per site. 

For $78.95 you can do it yoursel for an unlimited amount of sites.  This software would of course also be perfect for the SEO professional that charges customers to submit their sites to directories.

Now while the software is excellent, you will still have to spend a lot of time submitting.  I would estimate it would take about 5-8 hours to submit to 1000 directories. So if you’re cheap and a do it yourself’er, this software is a must.  I personally used the software for a few of my websites… but I ultimately opt to pay someone else to do the submissions for me.
