Try he*xatrack.co*m

They have a free version, which I have been using for a month or so and seems cool.

I am going to upgrade to the pro version - $47/mo at this time, I have been waiting because they just upgraded their servers and will wait for all bugs to be worked out.

Yeah heard good things about spyfu also. As far as hexatrack they claim they are going to $147/mo this week although I am not affiliated in anyway to be for sure.

Hi Bactboats,

Could you please share the free version of Hex*atack if possible. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing to share, it's not software. You have to login to their site to use the service.

It just jacked up to $147/month, but the first month is $1. Hopefully someone who's used hexatrack in the past can chime in here and state if it's really worth the monthly price tag.

can u prevent programs like spyfu.com from obtaining the keywords you are using?

Yes, just stop advertising on google, yahoo, and msn.

for your own websites? someone with more technical knowledge can chime in about something about modifying .htaccess and disallowing www.spyfu.com(or those other keyword spysites) from even entering your site.

How exactly do they obtain your keywords? Do they just search an endless amount of words and record which ones pop up your ad?
