We're happy to announce that the much improved IBP/ARELIS version 9.0 is now available! We're confident that the new version is the best SEO tool that you can get for your web site success.

Exactly what you want

We have listened to our customers to improve the new version in every possible way. With the new version, you'll get high search engine rankings, more customers and more sales.

ARELIS and IBP now share the same user interface and projects. The new version is a powerful software program for both web page optimization and link optimization.

What is new compared to IBP 8?

There are so many new features in the new version that we can list only a few in this newsletter.

• The new Top 10 Inbound Link Optimizer tool helps you to get better search engine rankings by analyzing the inbound links of the top 10 ranked web pages. Finally you can analyze and optimize back links and link texts to get higher search engine rankings!
  
  
• Nearly all IBP tools have been improved based on your feedback.
  
  
• Both ARELIS and IBP share the same projects so you save a lot of time.

What is new compared to ARELIS 4?

• ARELIS now displays much more data of every link partner, for example Google PageRank and Alexa Traffic Rank.
  
  
• ARELIS can now automatically find directories and link pages to which you can submit your web page. This feature is an improved version of the Link Popularity Improver tool of IBP 8.
  
  
• Your link pages will look much better: limit the number of links on every link page, display page numbers, display miniature pictures (thumbnails) of your link partner web sites, and create link pages that don't look like link pages because every page can have its own individual text.
  
  
• 103 improvements and new features, for example an FTP client to upload your link pages, PDF reports and checking multiple pages of the same web site to find out if your link partners still link back to your site.

How do I update?

IBP and ARELIS are now integrated into one software program: IBP 9. They are still two separate programs but share the same user interface. If you already use IBP, click here. If you already use ARELIS, click here.

If you have neither IBP nor ARELIS installed, download the free demo version of IBP 9 now.
