I use it on okdork and appsumo. Personally it helps me find the keywords that convert the best.

Maybe I'm being dense, but can someone explain what I'm getting and how exactly I'm supposed to be saving?

It says I get Starter plan, value $228, that is $19/month. I cannot see a plan with such name nor price: http://www.ginzametrics.com/pricing.html

What are this service's unique selling points? Its "Feature Tour" shows:

SEO Dashboard Overview - I cannot read what is on X nor Y axis of this graph, description doesn't say either and I cannot zoom in.

Monitor Search Engine Rankings - I'm not very much into SEO, but... am I supposed to pay for this?

The Starter Plan is only being through the duration of this deal, and is available once you log in.

There are quite a few features in the menu on the left hand side in addition to the page you mention (though I do need to make the screenshots zoomable - thanks for the reminder).

> I'm not very much into SEO, but... am I supposed to pay for this?

There is an assumption that signing up for an SEO service would be proceeded by some interest in SEO. ;-)

EDIT: changed the first sentence for clarification.

AppSumo should be careful with deals like this, I don't know what the case is in the US, but under UK law if you make a sales offer you have to have sold the product at the claimed full price previously (or otherwise make it very clear that the product hasn't been sold before).

Good to know. FWIW, the starter plan was available before the AppSumo deal (though not for long - it began as an experiment) and is also available to any other existing user. I just plan to turn it off after the deal ends to move things over to my new pricing plans, but decided to keep it alive long enough for this deal.

Just realized that you need to enter CC details in order to activate the 12 month offer. Should probably mention it on the offer page (or it just skipped my eye)

Good point, I'll have them update the page.

Good call Paras. Updated.

Ginzametrics guys are helping me on Live chat regarding this. Their support looks great!

PS- Ginzametrics rules! In case my upvote wasn't enough of an endorsement.

Thanks :-)

What about sites and keywords in other languages? This would be useful to us if it somehow didnt put a lot of english keywords together with the italian ones

That is supported. Usually people target one major market with each site, so you could segment sites based on country, which defaults to the main language in that country. If you have multiple languages in the same country, all on the same site, you'll be interested in some upcoming features. :-)

I am already registered for the free ginzametrics plan. I just plonked down $17 and got my code, but it says to use the code when I registered. How do I use the code to Upgrade my existing plan?

[edit: After discussion with Ray, click on the Starter Plan on the Accounts screen. Enter your code on the checkout form. The price will change from $17/mo to $0. Enter your CC info (not charged), and submit.]

I'm online now to walk through any questions.

In order to use the upgrade, you can click on your plan name, choose the starter plan and then enter the discount code on the order form. It will show $0 for 12 months before you finalize the upgrade.

Nice work Ray, glad to see more mentions of your service.

Thanks!

How many websites can you track with this package?

This is for 1 site.

Should it be one site for the whole year or can I swap for another every few months?

It's the site that you set up the plan with. I haven't created the feature yet that lets you swap plans like that but I probably will at some point.

What's the definition of 1 site, is it one domain (does it include subdomains) ?

It's basically equivalent to the definition you use with your analytics package (Google Analytics, etc.).
