We publish several installable products. I've been looking for a way to track all mentions for all product names. It's not critical, but it is definitely something that we can use. But I am not sure if we are going to get something relevant or just some random flotsam from SEO spamfarms and such. That is, you made something that may potentially have a value for us IF we can gauge the quality of the results for our products. No way in hell I'm going to pull out a wallet and subscribe just to valid if your service is any good. Basically, you have no reputation and you expect us to pay you to check if you are any good. That's a firm No. In fact, it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of your general attitude towards establishing a working relationship being wrong. You are throwing the baby with the bathwater. |

One difference in my data and other similar services is that I do not limit the amount of results I collect. Higher priced competitors limit you to XXX results a day, or XXXX a month. So you automatically miss out if there is more data than your limit. Since I don't limit the results we collect, you can see more of your keyword universe. You just need to filter and add negatives ( if you wish ) to get the true results you want if you are getting some that match your keyword, but don't match your intent.
Some people will want to see all the data, some will only want specific quality. We leave that option to the user. Thus we allow you to use negatives and filtering.
The only problem I have with your other statements is:
1. You assume because I have no reputation on this site, that something must be off for you to pull out your wallet. What about my reputation elsewhere? With this being a new launch, you can not just gauge by my brand name alone or my handle here alone. You know nothing of my background either.
2. You feel my attitude towards establishing a working relationship is wrong. What if your thinking about it is wrong? You do not know my past history with SaaS, business, or networking in general. I have a lot of data as both an employee and business owner that proves free trials ( without credit card ) hardly moves the needle in converting free users to paid. Just because you feel relationships should work one way, does not mean my process is now invalid and wrong.
3. When was the last time you pulled out $7, got frauded and could not get the money back from the product owner/service, Paypal, or your credit card/bank? I am going to assume just about never unless you actively decided not to pursue and just let it be. In today's time you as the consumer will just about always get your money back from Paypal or your credit card/bank if you ask. In the 20+ years I have been online I have never had a merchant keep my money unless I was out of bounds on their terms/policies. If you are paying with a credit card ( which my service only takes ), you have protection in place pretty much.
