I own a couple of websites, and I've been optimizing them by slowly developing quality links for five years now, and thought I knew most of the long-established sources of link love out there.
I was even looking to buy SEO Elite for my sites' SEO campaigns, but found SEO Spyglass to be MUCH BETTER alternative instead. I am shocked at the wealth of information I can retrieve in just a few simple steps, even with the free version of SEO Spyglass.
SEO Spyglass uncovered some fascinating links to related sites which I was able to follow up, including 60-70 from .edu and .co.uk pages which I'd never seen before. Some turned out to be quite close to home and were more than happy to link to my site! How cool is that?
To the guys at Link-Assistant.Com... My hat's off to ya!

SEO Spyglass basically does what it says ... but you're not going to be surprised by great results. Of course, it is just reporting information that is readily available from the search engines. I thought it might be worthwhile to have it gather everything into one place, but I was wrong.
*) It is very basic. You can put in keywords or a URL and have the tool examine it.
*) I found that the results were off-topic. That is, not what relevant for what I wanted. The real disadvantage is that you can't re-direct/pare down the results. You know how you use advanced search techniques in search engines to find what you really want? You can't do that with SEO Spyglass ... which means you're back to the early days of the internet. Searching through a ton of results that you don't care about.
*) It just spits out a bunch of data. It's up to you to make sense of it and get results. If you're a webmaster looking for an automated way to gather a bunch of stats, I guess it would be OK. If you really want a tool to help you improve your search engine ranking, look elsewhere.
*) It is sloooow. I've let it run overnight before and it never finished.
In short, the interface is basic, but getting what you want out of it is very difficult. If you want to spend a lot of time getting up to speed and analyzing data, maybe you'll like this software.
Anyway, they have a free trial that you should definitely try first. I wish I would have ... then I wouldn't have purchased the full version. There are better services out there.
