Ditto on the sitebulb love. It's a well-done product and a welcome challenger to the status-quo of SEO software out there.

I will say the cost gives me hesitation but you've put a lot of work into it so I understand the justification.

For the visualization, does the crawl map limit the connections? I was expecting to see more of a web with pages linked from the entire site. Can you tell us more about that?

Thanks

Price is always a difficult one trying to get the cost/value balance right. We did some pricing sensitivity testing before launch so I'm hopeful we've not got it too wrong.

Regarding Crawl Maps, yeah it does have some limitations on, which I've written about here - https://sitebulb.com/resources/guides/crawl-maps-faqs/

Although from your comment I think you might be thinking it is a link map, rather than a crawl map. So with the Crawl Map it is mapping out how each URL/node was found when the crawler traversed the site. So each node will only ever have one edge/link.

A link map ends up a LOT more messy, although it's on our roadmap to try and build one of these too!

"Almost everything looks like a graph. Almost nothing should be drawn as one."

It's really hard to make sense of full link graph visualisations. I'm talking about this in an upcoming conference presentation. We should share notes :)

[hathawayp]

Absolutely. In development we tried different ways to make the Crawl Map also represent link data, and they were all just unintelligible. Even the Crawl Maps on big sites are hard to get your head around, and that's with Sitebulb sampling quite heavily.

I'd love for us to come up with some sort of solution for it, I just don't know how we'd do it!

SL presentation I assume?

[will_critchlow]

Yep.

Will be sharing and writing about it too - still a bit of a work-in-progress. Hopefully it all comes together nicely!

I'm leaning towards comparisons between tables of data, metrics etc rather than visualisations for much of this.

Oh - I meant to say - that quote is from this book: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596514556.do

Nice, thanks. Just ping me or Gareth if you want any of our input :)
