it said "Includes Standard Search Engine Visibility to Improve Search Rankings"

it begs for question... Search Engine Visibility??? Improve SERP?!?!!? is it really that good? O.o; or have i successfully been eaten my promotional messages?

Can anyone with experience with them share some information with me ?

(The price tag is mighty interesting)

Any hosting or ISP packages for SEO are not really SEO packages at all, they're just submissions. At some point in the future there will hopefully be more transparency on this stuff, and companies will have to make a proper distinction where they can't just loosely use the term SEO, when they only offer something that is under 1% of what SEO really is.

that is true. Just curious about their promotional message "Includes Standard Search Engine Visibility to Improve Search Rankings" , but guess that has been answered by oznappies too

We host some sites on GoDaddy but find as far as SEO goes, it is very limited. If you are looking to rank for a long tail keyphrase it may get you somewhere, but the tools of SEOMoz are far more tuned. The onpage in the campaigns here give much more detail than the seo reports on GoDaddy and they are instant. So, you can make some changes and test your onpage with out waiting for 12-24 hours for GoDaddy's email. I have found their 'website protection' is useful for detecting quirks that pose security issues.

When you look at the wording you get an idea of what they are offering 'to improve search ratings'. So if you are on page 50 and they get you to page 48, they have improved your ratings. No-one will find you, but your rating has improved. If you want good rank, work with a good SEO to get your site where you want it, and be patient.

I personally use GoDaddy for purchasing domains but I do not use any of their add-ons. I would not recommend paying for their SEO tools. Submitting to any search engine is a free process and one that is easy to do.

For Bing go to: http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster/

For Google go to: http://www.google.com/webmasters/

Setting up an account and doing so will also allow you to become familiar with their tools and reports that they provide. It is a great way to learn how and when they are indexing your site.

One additional thing to consider is to create a sitemap that dynamically gets updated as your site does. Submit this sitemap to the search engines and then it will improve the crawling efficiency and accuracy of the search engines. The individual responsible for your web development should be able to set this up for you.

are you saying that they are doing bad thing? If i am not mistaken Godaddy is Official Google Partner. O.o;

One of their features is "Easy, One-click Submission to Google,
Yahoo!, Bing and Ask" - if the pricing doesn't ring alarm bells, that certainly should.

The premium plan just includes what must be a very small scale ppc campaign.
