If you’re going to do optimization for Google, you shouldn’t use this software. Google specifically mentions WebPositionGold (and others) as being against their quality guidelines:
“Don’t use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.”
I use it, but only to quickly check rankings for keywords. Any automated tool for creating links is a bad idea. It is much safer to have a site people will want to link to on their own. I’m not trying to sound pollyanna-ish by saying that, but an automated system only cares about the number of links it creates, not the quality. Google gives low link quality scores to sites that too easily give links out for just this reason.
Good luck!
