In my opinion Keyword elite is a big fat waste of money.

• It is for advanced users and the training is horrible. Half the time it would not work at all for me.
• False results and is against Google guide lines. 
• Back link submission tool is complicated and slow, it creates more out bound links than you would want, with extremely low responses from emails. 
• Articles are not the only thing that gets you ranked and submitting the same article over and over does not do as much good as one solid single article on http://www.ezinearticles.com. 
• Mega complaints on the technical support and I see post over and over with complaints on their forum. Of Course they keep redoing the forum.

The back link checker is one of the things I use some times. It is useful, but does not justify its price tag. Why not just use a free one online? The one I Use is www.iwebtool.com.
Google.com/webmasters gives you all of the other information and you can check your own back links as well. The downfall is you cannot check other people’s back links. Then again you might want to reconsider, if your links match your competitors it does you no good. Find new friends that are more popular that your competitor and cherry pick a few.

Overall:

Why pay for an expensive keyword tool that gives false information all of the time and is against the Google rules when you can go and get it for free from the search engine god themselves? Matter of fact almost all of the tools they are selling you, you can get for free or they have no significant value.

If you really want to get some great tips and lessons on Seo, I recommend www.googledumb.com . It is very simple and to the point and full of great ideas. It is the one eBooks that has honestly improved my rankings over all. Otherwise stay away from Keyword Elite and save your money on more useful software and good educational books. If you Must or insist on buying keyword elite, sign up as an affiliate with click banks, it is free and you will at least get 100 bucks or so back, however you will have to make a few sales to get paid by click bank, not only a few sales but a few sales of the same credit card holder.
