Jaaxy vs Longtail Pro: Which Is The Right Keyword Tool For Your Niche Site?
I have been a Jaaxy user for about four years now, but have been hearing a lot about another keyword research tool called Longtail Pro so I decided to download it an compare the two.
Could it be the first Jaaxy VS Longtail Pro post in the history of the internet? I think so. Please feel free to congratulate me in the comment section 🙂
Longtail pro is actually the more widely used of the two tools, and is quite popular among niche website makers, especially the tribes that follow Spencer Haws (creator), Pat Flynn, and a couple other famous niche guys.
So where's the Jaaxy love?
Well, Jaaxy's a newer tool. Jaaxy's user base is also primarily members of Wealthy Affiliate, the online business community where I learned how to build my first niche websites. Just guessing. It's really not that important, but I wanted to give you a bit of history before we get into the actual comparison of the two tools.
I've recently updated this comparison, so it should reflect the changes to the two tools as of 2017. Please feel free to make any corrections or add your own opinion in the comments. For starters, here's the winner in my opinion:
Final Conclusion
- Jaaxy: 4 Points
- Longtail Pro: 2 Points
- Tie/Undecided: 2 Points
First I'll do a mini Jaaxy review, then a mini LTP review, then a side by side feature/performance comparison. ==> Skip to the comparison

Information Jaaxy Provides
- Monthly Searches
- Expected Traffic
- QSR (quoted search results, true competition)
- KQI (keyword quality index, overall keyword quality)
- SEO Power (score based on traffic, QSR, competition)
- Domain availability for keyword
Report this ad
The first unique thing you'll notice about Jaaxy is that the numbers it gives you will be unlike many other tools out there. Monthly searches and expect traffic are a number determined by algorithm, not just taken from Google's keyword data. Google gives notoriously inflated numbers, so while you might see an 4500 searches from Google's tool (and Longtail Pro in this case), Jaaxy will usually give you a much smaller number.
The same goes for the resulting traffic you'll receive. Jaaxy takes their data from a number of different sources and combines the data into one number.
QSR is another thing that no other tool does, and a lot of people don't understand, therefore don't pay attention to.
The “quoted search results” is the number of results that come up when you search for a phrase in quotes. So instead of searching for ‘keyword phrase here', you'll search for ‘”keyword phrase here”‘. That's really hard to explain in writing, so here's a picture:
Why does this matter? That's your ‘true competition'. True competition is the number of websites ranked in Google that contain that exact phrase.
Although Google will initially give you a result like 5 million pages, if you dig past page one, that number gets more accurate, and on low competition phrases you might discover that less than 100 websites actually contain that phrase. Whether that's a real number of if it's shaved off by Google using some kind of algorithm, I don't know. But if the big G doesn't think those results are relevant, neither should we.
Competition Analysis
Outside of QSR you can also dig into the top 10 results of Google searches and find information about the websites that rank.
You can view:
- Title
- URL
- Meta Description
- Meta Keywords
- Word Count
- Links on site
- Alexa Rank
- Keyword Density
- Backlinks
- Page Rank

Other Features
There are two other features of Jaaxy that I use regularly. One, is keyword lists. I love having the ability to sort my research into lists and store them within Jaaxy. Each list stores all data related to the keywords, and even gives an overview of how many keywords in a list and the traffic you can expect from that list.
I haven't done it, but I've always wanted to try selling some keyword lists. How cool would that be?
100 keywords, 30,000 visits per month, $19.95. Maybe one day 🙂
The other feature that I use a lot is the rank tracker. You can track the rank of any domain for any keyword. Usually you'll want to track your own of course, but it's nice to spy sometimes.
There are other features of Jaaxy that I don't use as much. You can read about them in my full review, but they don't play a role in my comparison to Longtail Pro.
Longtail Pro Review
So I'll be the first to admit that I've spent less time with this tool, so I have less to say about it. I will say however, that I know a lot of pros that use it, which is why it was the first tool I ventured out to compare to my own go-to-guy.
I'm going to discuss some of the features in the Longtail Pro section, then spend a few paragraphs comparing it to Jaaxy in the next section.
Features & Results
- Global Search Volume
- Local Search Volume
- Domain availability
- Title Competition (Bing/Google)
- CPC (cost per click, an indication of paid advertising competition)
- Rank Checker
The information in LTP seems to be heavily dependent on Moz and Google's own tool for Adwords. Perhaps it's just taking from Moz and Moz is taking from Google.
Unless you create filters and limit the number of results, you can get up to 800 keyword results in one search. This is quick way to list out your blog post for the next 3 years, but looking at that amount of data in one go is a bit overwhelming.
Report this ad
Moz
It seems impossible to talk about LTP without discussing a bit about Moz. After you get your keyword results, you can dig into each individual keyword to see more detailed information about the top 10 results of Google for that search term.
The data you're given is:
- Page Authority (Moz number)
- Page Links (total number of links, internal/external)
- Juice Page Links (Inbound links that pass link equity)
- Domain Authority (Moz number)
- mozRank (Moz number)
- Page Rank
- Site Age
For Moz fans out there, this is a great way to consolidate data you'd get from them, and basically compare your top competitors based on these metrics. They do know a lot about websites, and looking at the data they have for my own sites, I can see that a lot of it is accurate.
(this is also a very cheap way of accessing this data because a Moz membership is quite expensive in my opinion)
However, not all of it is exactly correct, and not all of the numbers displayed for LTP carry weight on rankings. Page rank and site age are two numbers that jump out at me as things I don't really pay attention to, as you can see lots of PR 0 sites ranking on page 1 for search results, including my own.
But before I get too critical, I will say that this is just a measure of approximate competition. Even QSR, the number that I'm used to paying attention to is not an infallible metric. In fact, an old + high PR site without an exact term could definitely outrank a new/low PR site with the exact search term.
Since I'm already starting to compare and there aren't any other features of LTP that don't warrant comparison, let's get into what the difference is between Longtail Pro and Jaaxy. It's quite hard to write them in order of importance, so I'm just going to go through my list, and you decide what's important at the end.
There's quite a bit, so if you want to tl;dr it, there will be a final conclusion at the bottom.
Jaaxy Vs Longtail Pro Feature Comparison
Rank Tracker
Winner: Jaaxy
Report this ad
Jaaxy now track your rank quite effectively. You can also update your rank tracking automatically, for daily, weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly. That means it will automatically check your position for keywords over time. With an Enterprise version, you get 50,000 automatic searches, so it's more than you would need unless you were running a flotilla of websites.
Longtail Pro also has a rank tracker. It shows similar, but different results than Jaaxy. However, your rank tracking is severely limited, which is detailed in my full LTP review. Yes, it'll show your rank, but will only update when it feels like it, so it feels very limited. With Jaaxy you can do individual rank tracking on the fly, or track over time, according to how often you want to update.

Keyword Research
Winner: Jaaxy
The most important feature of these tools, and I can't pick a winner? Well, it's because both do good jobs, in different areas. Longtail Pro provides MORE data, so you can more information to sort through to make your decisions. For an experienced SEO, that's great. For a newbie, it's overwhelming.
Jaaxy provides a more refined list, and though there are not as many results listed, it's very easy to dig deeper with a new search and simply add more keywords to your saved lists.
For example, if I search for “natural caffeine” and “green coffee” turns up in the results, I only have to click “green coffee” and Jaaxy will start a new search based on that term. If I want to go back to my previous results, I can check my search history. For newbies Jaaxy +1. For experienced SEO's, LTP +1
After updating my review in September 2017, I see that LTP added a new “filter” feature, where you can search for keywords based on a “seed” keyword, but exclude certain results.
So if I search for “microwaves”, I can exclude the word “buy” from my search results, since I don't want to try to rank for “buy stainless steel microwaves”. I can also limit results to a number words in the phrase, so results like “new microwave” doesn't turn up. I only get the best of the best results! LTP +2 right here.
However, one good reason to use that you have limited number of results you can view. Each result, even crappy ones, knocks one point off your total allotted for the month. Jaxxy has unlimited searches. Jaaxy +1
Also, Jaaxy has a much easier system of organizing your search results into spreadsheets or text docs with the keywords and stats. Jaaxy +1.
Then, with the new improvements, in 2017, you also have alphabet soup, which gives you a TON of related results that can help you find relevant phrases that use your keyword. It's like Google Instant on crack.

I much prefer Jaaxy's method of organized keyword research, plus the tools that help you find ideas to write about, rather than spending 100 years trying to find the perfect keyword that will be easy to rank for an make a million bucks. In my experience, I have made more money writing about interesting topics consistently, rather than trying to build a perfect site made of precision keywords.
Competition Analysis
Winner: Longtail Pro
Which competition numbers you pay attention to is going to be a decision that every niche marketer will decide for himself/herself.
Personally, I find that QSR is enough for me. However, the competition analysis in Longtail pro is more comprehensive, and takes more factors into account. Sometimes, QSR is simply not enough to accurately tell if you can outrank a website.
If you see a keyword like “buy camo cargo shorts online”, it's guaranteed to have a low QSR. But you can also bet that it's going to be Amazon, Walmart, and Bass Pro on page 1 of Google, which is going to be pretty hard (not impossible) to outrank. There's simply not a lot you can say about buying cargo shorts online that will impress Google.
However, consider that building a website, you should have world domination in mind, so I don't really care what PR or Moz rank the leading sites have. In fact, my MOZ rank for One More Cup of Coffee is only about 27/100, which is quite low for a 7 year old website with 1500 posts. Still, I can rank very well, sometimes in the #1 spot within hours for low competition keywords.
What's the point of knowing your competitors rank if you've got a great website?
But if you are planning on building a small niche website to flip online, or as part of a portfolio of niche websites and don't want to build it out into a huge authority site, you will want to pay attention to things like domain age and other detailed metrics to properly suss out your competitors.
I'm not quite sure how the title competition works in TLP, but the numbers that I saw in my tests looked extremely high for Google, and Bing resulted in 0's across the board, so I'm not convinced this is a metric I'd recommend paying attention to.
Back to Jaaxy: The ability to see things like keyword density, meta descriptions/titles, and word count can tell you a bit about the ranking page's on-site SEO.
Both tools have features I like in this category. If Jaaxy had Domain Authority and Site Age, that would be perfect. If LTP showed the meta data, keyword density, and word count, that would be awesome too.
User Experience, Tool Usability
Winner: Jaaxy
Jaaxy is web based which means I can use it anywhere, on any computer. I wouldn't use it on my phone, but tablet, PC, and laptops are part of my weekly routine. Jaaxy is also very intuitive, user friendly, and well designed.
LTP is software, which means you have to have it installed on every device you need it on. Since it still needs to connect to the internet to work, advantage for the big J here. Updates can be an issue. Longtail Pro hands you a lot of data, so it can be confusing to look at in the beginning.
Customer Support
Winner: Longtail Pro
I haven't personally tested LTP's support, but a buddy of mine Chris, from Media Fresh Press sent a few questions and they were answered within hours of sending them in.
Jaaxy's support is non-existent. I hate to say it, but I think emails to them through the main website just go to an email address that no one reads.
To get support with Jaaxy you need to be a Wealthy Affiliate member, and contact the owners directly, or ask the community. There are many folks in there that use it regularly, and can answer your questions quite quickly, sometimes within minutes. That's the advantage of crowdsourcing. Still, needing to pay an additional $49/month (cost of WA membership) for support is silly.
Overall Cost
Winner: Jaaxy
Jaaxy is $49/month for basic, $99/month for Enterprise. The main differences between the two are 1) returning numbers instantly, 2) ability to sort data based on keywords/competition/traffic. With their new update, the number of automatic searches is also increased for Enterprise members who might be tracking rankings for several websites, including client websites. Discounts available for yearly members. All accounts come with unlimited searches.
You get 30 free searches on the free version of Jaaxy, but some results are blurred out so you don't get full access to the tool.
Lontail Pro has changed their prices a few times. They currently have options for $25, $67, and $147 per month. It looks like the only difference between the plans are the number of keyword searches you are allowed. The numbers are 10,000, 25,000, and 60,000 keyword searches.
Looking at it from pure dollar amount, LTP has the cheapest option of $25 per month. However, their Agency plan is $147, which is a lot more expensive than the Enterprise version that Jaaxy offers. What value you get from the tool will determine what cost you can justify. Personally, I find more value in Jaaxy's features, so I think the basic account for $49 is the best for beginner online marketers. My vote here is with Jaaxy, but I could see if someone see more value for the LTP Starter Plan.
Overall Accuracy
Winner: Undecided
In the end, neither of these tools is going to give you the EXACT data you can expect from writing a post on the keywords they churn out. They are just tools, projections, and guesses based on historical data and other metrics. That being said, I feel that Jaaxy data is much closer to what happens in real life than what's shown in LTP. Expected traffic often very close to what Jaaxy projects, and Moz doesn't even give this number. As far as monthly searches go, I know that Jaaxy pulls from a number of sources, while it seems that LTP only uses Google. Another case for the former being more accurate.
If you are not used to seeing these numbers, it may seem “off” to you. Why is adwords telling me there are 45,000 searches and this thing is telling me there's only X amount? Look at your traffic from ONE keyword you rank for, and see how it compares.
That being said, as far as competition goes, I feel that LTP gives you a closer look at what type of competition you are up against for a particular keyword. Though I don't use Moz and often don't pay attention to things like Domain Authority or Page Rank, they do play a factor into who's ranking for what.
But I will add that it's completely possible outrank those with better stats than you, and there's always room to improve your own site over time. I know for a fact that my Moz numbers are crap, but I make a full time income from just this one website – A silly score like that is no indication of how much money a site makes.
Final Conclusion
Jaaxy: 4
Longtail Pro: 2
Tie/Undecided: 2
There's a lot of information here for you to digest, so I'm sure you're now wondering – which keyword tool is best for me?
If you are a member of Wealthy Affiliate, the clear advantage is for Jaaxy. The keyword data is easier to digest and more refined, the searches are faster, and I feel the competition information is more relevant to what I want to know.
Creating keyword lists is extremely helpful to me in making niche websites, and I feel that is also much easier to do here.
If you are not a WA member, then you need to decide if you can use the tool independently. If not having support isn't a big deal to you, then at least try Jaaxy Pro and see if you like it. Again, I feel the data is more relevant, and more aligned with my style of research/marketing. Also, considering that the traffic numbers are more accurate than LTP, I feel it's a better tool overall.
If you have no intention of being a paid member of the WA business community, and want the option to contact a support team with questions about the tool (including the owner on his blog or in social media), then Longtail Pro gets the clear advantage here. If Jaaxy decides to start providing support outside of the WA community I might be able to give it a better recommendation in this area.

Long Tail Pro Vs Jaaxy: 9 Comparisons That Will Give You The Best Value
Ok, why Long Tail Pro vs Jaaxy in the first place (or should I say, Jaaxy vs Long Tail Pro)?
You must have heard of Google Keyword Planner, Niche Finder, Keyword Spy, Keyword Elite, Keyword Discovery, Power Suggest Pro and probably a dozen more.
You can Google “Long Tail Pro vs…”, “Market Samurai vs…”, “Wordtracker vs…” and you’ll get a pretty good idea of who the good players are in the Keyword Research industry.
Ok, probably Long Tail Pro and Jaaxy may be two of the better players, but not necessarily the best and most expensive in the industry today. However, since I’ve got a hand on both of them, it’s only appropriate that they’ll be the ones to be grilled in this comparison.
This post is not necessarily a detailed review on each tool, but you’ll have a basic glimpse of how good (or bad) they are. Hopefully, you can already have an initial assessment of what they can or cannot do.
To give you an overview of what’s in store, here’s a table of contents.

What Are The Criteria in Comparing Long Tail Pro vs Jaaxy?
I’ll be dwelling on 9 aspects that will give you the best value in comparing both softwares. It might even put you to some points of confusions, especially if you already are using other keyword research tools, but rest assured they are packed with real, updated information.
Here are the 9 Criteria for judging.
- Keyword Research (15%) – includes ease of use, functionality and accuracy
- In-depth Competitor Analysis (15%) – analyzing competitions’ weaknesses and strengths
- Support (10%) – basic support system whether it’s a community or helpdesk
- Speed (10%) – the amount of time that your keyword displays the results
- Mobility (10%) – are they available beyond laptops?
- Export Results (10%) – based on how the keywords are organized and exported
- In-Depth Tutorial (10%) – pertains to how-to-videos about the software and their “Why’s”
- Site Rank Accuracy (10%)- indicates how your published article is ranked in Google or otherwise
- Cost (10%) – sometimes this alone becomes the decision-making factor.
How Does The Comparison Work?
There may be other aspects that may have been included in the criteria, but I think if you’re deciding on which keyword tool to purchase right now, these criteria are the most fundamental ones to watch out for.
If you’ll notice, the meat of keyword researching has a total weight of 30% (Keyword Research + In-Depth Competitor Analysis). Your experience here should already dictate which of them can be used for the long haul.
After all, if you’re seriously considering blogging, affiliate marketing or internet marketing as a long-term plan, you MUST have a tool to research keywords for your next contents or domains.
What I’ll do here is to go through each of the criterion to give you an initial overview why I’m rating each accordingly.
At the end of my assessment, I’ll again show you the table with the tabulated scores. My ratings will be from 1 to 5, with five being the highest. I’ll only use 0.5 for really tough choices. It will then be multiplied by the weight of the corresponding criteria.
Then, the total score shall be declared the winning piece of keyword research software.
So if you’ll notice, I’m trying to be as objective as possible. I may have hits and misses here and there in this process, but it should be close to a very objective comparison. After all, I love both tools.
I’ll leave the rest to you to decide.
So if you’re fine with the criteria and on the manner as to which I’m comparing both Keyword Research tools… let’s dive in!
The 9 Comparisons That Should Give You The Best Value
(1) Keyword Research – In Jaaxy, you can just type in your desired keyword then click “Find Keywords”. You’ll then have your results after about 5 sec.
In Long Tail Pro, sometimes it’s confusing. Once you’ve searched for the keyword already, it’ll display that keyword below your recent (but new) keyword. If you’ll just drag the bar at the right, it’ll be pushed back down. You have to click that keyword again so as to make it the most recent.
In Jaaxy, if you’ll see a green KQI with a really low QSR, say, below 20 or 30, it’s a good keyword to use. anything that’s below 300 is ok. You’ll just have a green KQI when it’s a great keyword. For keywords that are OK (but not great), you’ll have yellow KQIs.
As an example, take a look at the image below. Both tools have indicators – Jaaxy’s KQI and QSR and Long Tail Pro’s Ave. Keyword Competitiveness.
In this case, Jaaxy says it’s 169, which is below 300, thus it’s ok to use. It’s not that great, but it’s ok. But because of the color coding, it simplifies the keyword research itself.
LTP’s Ave. Keyword Competitiveness indicates a 29 (anything that’s below 30 in LTP’s Ave. KC is a great keyword). It’s just recent though that LTP changed its plan and pricing. They simplified it to Monthly and Annual.
Prior to that, I purchased the software for $97 with a Platinum upgrade option which was $17/month. I didn’t go with the Platinum thus I didn’t have the Ave. KC functionality. But since I upgraded to Platinum recently, I do have that option now.
So as far as ease of use is concerned under the Keyword Research criteria, my vote goes to Jaaxy.
For the accuracy of the research though, I can’t tell which is consistently winning. I do tend to validate my findings in Jaaxy in Long Tail Pro though (maybe because I’ve been using it for more than a year already).
In this particular case, I shouldn’t be using the KQIs that are yellow. But since I want to test the Powtoon Review keyword as part of my case study, I still used it. In contrast, LTP says it’s a go because it’s under 30.
Wanna know where my article stands right now after publishing it 3 weeks ago?
I’ll show it in Site Rank Accuracy category later..
I also tried to check “animated easter greeting” as a keyword.
On Jaaxy…
On LTP…
See the difference?
Should I write an article based on these findings? Maybe. Maybe not.
I’ll keep on doing this and after writing articles on them, I’ll compare the results and will update this post accordingly.
(2) In-Depth Competitor Analysis – Jaaxy did everything in the backend to come up with a recommendation. That’s why you’ll have a Green, Yellow or Red on the KQI. If you’ll compare the competitors though, you need to go through each line (in Pro account) to analyze the competitors. Do refer to the image below in Jaaxy.
In Long Tail Pro, you just have to check on the Page Authority (if there are at least 2 that are less than 30), have low Juice Links under 30, a few sites less than a year old, no more than 1 or 2 root domains, Keyword Competitiveness of 30 or less, etc. Below image is LTP’s.
I think it’s really important who’s ranking on your desired keyword. And since it seems it’s more in-depth to do analysis at the competition by just keying in a keyword in LTP, I’m giving Long Tail Pro the edge.
(3) Support – It’s really important to talk to someone who can help you once you’ve hit a dead end especially if you’re a paying member.
Jaaxy doesn’t have a support crew.
You do have an unfair advantage though if you’re a Wealthy Affiliate member since the owners of Jaaxy are the same owners of Wealthy Affiliate.
The community can support you anytime you need. If you’re not a Wealthy Affiliate member though, I’m not sure how to maximize the support. For almost 3 months though that I’m using Jaaxy, I didn’t need a support or a ticket.
Again, it’s that easy to use.
In Long Tail Pro, you can create tickets anytime.
I’ve been in constant contact with their support staff and Ms Stuti was always there to enlighten me.
They also have a Facebook Closed Group that they created for the Platinum members. Listening to the VIP members though, it seems there are a great number of complaints and recommendations. One recommendation was the ease of use in grouping keywords, where Jaaxy already has.
Nevertheless, since this is a criteria about support, I should give LTP a higher rating. Everyone, especially the new members, can create tickets and voice out.
(4) Speed – Sometimes it’s quite frustrating to own a software that’s cool in functionality and displays only to be annoyed with speed limitations.
I tried the keyword “explainer video animations” in Jaaxy.
Total speed of search: 5.9 sec.
The same keyword is added in Long Tail Pro.
Total Search: 1:05… and not complete yet.
Sometimes it takes 2 min and sometimes it’s less than a minute. Probably because of the analysis that it does on the competition.
Regardless, since this is about speed, I’m giving it to Jaaxy.
(5) Mobility – Have you ever experienced thinking of a keyword while sipping your favorite coffee, watching a TV show or on a queue waiting to be boarded on a plane? Would it be great if something at that instant can help you analyze and probably save some keywords on your thoughts?
I do that normally with Jaaxy. Alhough there’s no app version of the tool, I still forgive them as long as I could fire up some keywords, analyze them and save them in the list (under Saved Lists) using nothing but my phone at any point in time.
Since LTP is a downloaded software for laptops or desktops, it’s not that mobile. In fact, when I raised it in their support system, it was taken as a “great suggestion”. Im looking forward though that it happens.
Clear winer here is Jaaxy.
(6) Export Results – Although you need only a handful of keywords to fill in your blog with great articles, a thousand and one ideas can be a good advantage. It can either give you more and more reasons to produce great contents or you can create products that have something to do with keyword research. Pack 10,000 keywords on dozens of niches and you can create a product worth $29 or $299, depending on how you package them.
That’s the power of exported keywords that have been neatly organized.
This is how it’s painted in Jaaxy.
That means you have a choice to export them either in CSV or TXT files. If you intend to package them, you can have both formats which will come in handy for your targeted customers. Each of those keywords is also saved in certain folders.
In the case of “animated explainer videos” in the Speed category’s related image, it is grouped under Animation folder. It also has a green “L” which means it’s in your Saved List.
It will then ask you if you want to export Keywords Only or ALL Data (Monthly Searches, Estimated Traffic, QSR and SEP Power).
On the other hand, this is how it looks like in Long Tail Pro.
If you click that encircled image at the top right, it’ll be saved under a .csv format in your hard drive. It’ll show all of the keywords that you’ve researched under your created project (in this case, I named it Toonblogger).
It shows the Suggested Bid, Local Searches and the rest of those info at the topmost in the exported csv file. In this category, Jaaxy has the upper hand because it comes in CSV and TXT files.
(7) In-Depth Tutorial – Because the Long Tail Pro University access is already included in the new pricing scheme, in-depth tutorials about keyword research in general as well as tips and techniques on how to do keyword research better, can already be accessed by LTP members. There are 17 lessons, an introduction, a bonus video on Live Examples of Good and Bad Keywords and a bonus webinar on Live Recordings of Advanced Tactics & Q&A in the LTP University.
For those who didn’t upgrade to Platinum though, they have to pay $197. If I don’t renew my monthly membership, my access to LTP University will correspondingly be cut.
Jaaxy’s tutorial can be found in the main site. There’s a Training menu that has 4 videos of about 20 min each (Jaaxy Keyword Research and Management, Jaaxy Website Research and Analysis, Niche Research Refinement and The Affiliate Program Walkthrough). On top of that, there’s a free 1-hour webinar for Premium Wealthy Affiliate Members called “Using Jaxxy Like A Keyword Research Ninja“.
In this category, I have to give my Kudos to Long Tail Pro.
(8) Site Rank Accuracy – Jaaxy calls it Site Rank while Long Tail Pro calls it Rank Checker. What they do are basically the same – to check where your article stands in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) after hitting the Publish button.
This should also answer the question on Keyword Research earlier – where does “Powtoon Review” stand today.
This is the result of Jaaxy – it shows your position, page date and how it looks like in Google. You can just click the Search button to refresh it at any point in time. If it’s too far (in Jaaxy, if it’s more than 20 pages), it would just say No Results Found.
And this is Long Tail Pro’s. Though it has Yahoo and Bing, it only shows the position. Nothing else. At this time of screen capture, there was again a delay, thus the position under Yahoo wasn’t displayed. It’ll also say 500+ in Google if your article is beyond 50 pages.
Which of them do you like the most?
The good thing about Rank Checker or Site Rank is that you can lay out your plan of actions when your article isn’t ranking. You can do massive traffic building techniques, social media sharing and the like so as to have your articles seen, commented, liked, shared, pinned, etc. This will definitely help in boosting your articles’ rankings.
In this case though, I broke the tie by giving the edge to Jaaxy since 65% of the searches are actually done in Google. And it gives you finer details on the results.

I can actually give my vote to both keyword research tools. However, since I have to choose between the two of them, I must pick one. Both are not perfect, thus this is how I rated them.
Yes, it was almost a tie.
If you’ll ask me if I’ll keep both software, I should pragmatically respond, “I have to let go of the other soon“.
And this should already give you a hint that I may no longer renew my Long Tail Pro Platinum membership and continue my Jaaxy Pro plan. I may upgrade to the Annual Plan soon just to save a few dollars.
After all, I belong to the old pricing of the LTP where I paid $97. That means I have a lifetime license on the software and are free of any upgrade that usually comes at least once a month.
Thus, instead of paying an additional monthly fee of $27 for Long Tail Pro, I’ll just continue my Jaaxy Pro for $19.
…And I get to keep the “better” of both worlds…
Nevertheless, I hope this gave you a better, if not the best, value in your decision making.
Meanwhile, you may head on the to main pages of Jaaxy and Long Tail Pro as displayed below to get a feel of how they really look like in the real world.
I highly recommend that you try 30 keywords for FREE in Jaaxy and experience everything that I mentioned above. It’ll also be more beneficial to try Jaaxy if you were able to acquire Long Tail Pro using the old pricing scheme. You’ll get to experience the major difference.
