Want to know how your competitor's website is doing? Check out NetElixir's LXRMarketplace
In December, 2011, NetElixir, a search marketing consulting firm launched LXRMarketplace, which provides free search marketing tools for SMBs. The site currently offers 8 SEO and search marketing tools, which track SEO and search statistics for your website as well as your
competitors website.
Udayan Bose, founder of NetElixir shared that this was in an attempt to help the numerous SMBs whom they can't take onboard because of their limited bandwidth. "When I'd speak at various conferences, there would always be so many SMBs who would ask me as to how they can manage their search marketing better. While I shared a lot of knowledge with them, we really couldn't help them with our services because of limited bandwidth. I thought putting some of these tools out for free would be of great benefit to SMBs."
Since its launch, the LXRMarketplace has served more than 14,000 users from 26 countries. The site aims to build upon its existing base of 8 applications, which Udayan says are "enterprise level technologies". He further adds, "While these are self used tools, some tools in the current suite use our propriety bid optimization algorithms and also provide one of the most exhaustive reporting solutions available in the market."
