SEO Tools-Review of PR Prowler

Posted By Eli On January 20, 2006 @ 10:39 pm In SEO Tools | 78 Comments

A few weeks back I bought a piece of software called PR Prowler created by [1] TopNet Solutions

The idea behind the software is that you get to enter any search phrase and it will search for it on google, crawl every site, pull an email address (usually from the whois info), and send them an email which you write. This is used of course for what I call “link begging.” Hey link begging works if you do it right, and when you have a brand new site with no foot in the door, spending a little time on your knees can help tremendously. OK, so I took that a little too far.

Back on track.

The advantage of PR Prowler is how much damn time it saves you, especially if you have a content site. If I ever chose to promote this site, I could enter “SEO articles” or similar into PR Prowler and easily beg the thousands of websites that come up to link to me because I am useful. OK, so I’d have to lie a bit. :) The program does show a great deal of useful information about each site like current page rank, outbound links, and whois information. So at least I know who’s worth lying to.

The major disadvantage of PR Prowler is it’s lack of ability to filter out sites. No, I do not want to send an email that might be potentially viewed as spam to FBI.gov. I have to trash the entire list because an authority site put a word with the letters s e and o in it. PR Prowler was definitely a well thought out program though. They must have planned for that sort of thing by putting in a feature that searches the back links of your competitors. I found this works the best, because these sites are ones that are usually more willing to link in the first place, and you have less chance of spamming about.com. I definitely use this feature more than any others, but it does have it’s drawback. It queries Google for it’s back links. Everyone knows Google actually displays very little back link information about sites, and most of those back links are actually internal links. Don’t understand what I mean? Try searching for [2] link:homevideo.about.com.

All in all I’d have to say PR Prowler was definitely worth the $95, but don’t think for a moment this software will be your cure-all for link begging. It is at least a great start, and the best solution I’ve ever seen. I’ve tried quite a few.

Hi Larry,
Sorry I can’t do that. That would betray a lot of trust, but perhaps you can talk to the makers of it and ask them. A lot of times they can give you a cheaper price on it if you ask nicely. As kind of a PR Thing.

#4 Comment By Xero On January 23, 2007 @ 8:38 am

I can’t unlock the program even though I paid $95
I have the unlock code please send me a copy Eli
As the support haven’t answered my emails in 5 days!!

#5 Comment By Xero On January 23, 2007 @ 8:39 am

Where can you download version 3.1?

#6 Comment By Xero On January 24, 2007 @ 9:28 am

Forget the last 2 comments I have it now.. Eli how much are you getting for me signing up on your affiliate account with them? :D

#7 Comment By david deangelo On January 18, 2008 @ 10:22 am

I was wondering how these related sites were emailing me about link exchanges. I do get alot of these emails but i just delete them quite quickly. I think if you are to use this technique, its more of a numbers game really. I could see that this saves alot of time, as when I first launched my site, it took me along time finding all these related site and asking for links.

Is this puppy still being supported does anyone know?

#9 Comment By Shawn Pringle On March 3, 2008 @ 7:55 am

Yes, PR Prowler is still being supported :-) (I’m the guy who created it.)

#13 Comment By PS3 On July 16, 2008 @ 6:48 am

Sounds like a good tool but a bit pricey though. Will have to gather my funds and check it out soon

#14 Comment By E-Solutions India On July 16, 2008 @ 11:12 pm

It sounds like an interesting tool, but the risk of Google categorizing my site as spam is way too high…Btw, is there a newer version of the software?

#15 Comment By Wordpress SEO On September 13, 2008 @ 8:16 pm

They never make this stuff for macs! Geez!

#16 Comment By Chris On December 7, 2008 @ 7:43 pm

Can anyone shed light on this guy’s comment? How exactly would google be able to track his site and consider it spam? This software (from what I understand) is sending a 1-to-1 email correspondence between his domain and the target domain.

How does that have anything to do with Google? Is this guy’s fear unfounded?

#17 Comment By keyword_rank_checker On December 25, 2008 @ 1:13 am

Please clarify the payment condition.can you negotiate it,is it possible?

#18 Comment By Scott Roberts On December 29, 2008 @ 8:35 am

#22 Comment By atom marketing On March 14, 2009 @ 1:44 am

why is this not supported on the mac and is there any intention of a mac version?

#23 Comment By tzd123 On April 16, 2009 @ 4:47 pm

95 bux is pretty cheap i would think….

how long would you take pulling all that information on your own?

how much would you charge an hour for pulling the amount of data the program pulls for you?

im sure you can make it up in an hour worth of work.

by the way, i am not affiliated with the program makers, nor do i know them, nor have i ever talked to them… i just think its silly how many people are complaining about the 95… 95 bux you spend them on the weekend easy, and there is nothing to show for it. atleast here you have a program you can milk.

anyways, take care all.

#24 Comment By SEO Services Company On July 5, 2009 @ 8:48 am

So, if these PR Prowler guys are so good, why is there site only a PR3. I got one of our sites to PR3 in 4 weeks. Just like the backlinks company that can get you 1000 links in a week, but only has 45 externals themselves. Save your money. [7] Park Benches
