Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have heard a lot of good things about Hootsuite. You can manage various social accounts, share them with other admins and schedule your tweets. Maybe you can check it out.

HTH.

Personally I own Market samurai and have been using it for years for keyword research and competition analysis. Great thing is that they are now using Majestic SEO API to do backlinks analysis. It's a good companion to OSE here.

I believe around 150 bucks (less with coupons) is worth your money for such a tool, and it's a one-time payment with free updates.

Tried the free version of wordtracker but always came back to market samurai and OSE.

HTH.

I would also add that PR is not updated frequently (it takes sometimes months to be). So maybe you do not have a PR4 anymore or your competitors have actually a higher PR that what is shown.

At the end of the day I would trust mR and mT more than PR to give you a better indication of a page importance.

Hi Joshua,

I'm probably too late, but I still wanted to add my 2 cents. To do PPC on Baidu, you need to be a registered company in China and show them a copy of your business licence. This is why it is quite difficult to apply for a Baidu account if you are outside of China.

As far as SEO is concerned it might be also difficult to rank for competitive keywords. There are some differences between optimizing your site for Baidu, compared to Google.

Finally, if you want to have a chinese version of your site, you'd better host it in China and use a .cn name for loading time reasons but also to make sure your site will not be blocked in China.

Hope this helps.
