I find Hipmunk's look unintuitive, but I can't speak to the prices because I don't use it anymore.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who finds their UI confusing as hell.

it doesnt confuse me per se, it just values some things i dont care about. i dont need 80% screen devoted to when the flights are and how long there are. i only fly nonstop and pretty much dont care what time of day it is unless its really early or redeye.

Check out the Men's hostel.

At your service. Email is in my profile.

Arms dealer? Is that the analogy you're going to use for file distribution?

Maybe you can think of something even more menacing to compare Megaupload with. Nuclear terrorists perhaps? Satan and his legion of demons?

Nice framing on ya pal.

I'm down voting you because, to be fair, it was me that started it. In the post he replied to I compared it to guns, and file storage (not piracy) to killing. He was going with my analogy.

Actually, social proof would be if someone other than yourself submitted this story ;-)

I just woke up but here we go:

- There is a version of Traffic Travis that is free (haven't used it in awhile though, and you'll see why further down the list): http://traffictravis.com

- SEO Rank Monitor is better priced at less than $20/mnth: http://seorankmonitor.com/

- The solution I use everyday is less than a one time purchase of $5. It's the Rank-O-Meter app for the iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rankometer-4google/id35903250...

You can even export white label rank reports from it!

- Allow me one more SEO tool recommendation: although it's not a rank tracker per se, check out real time analytics service called Hit Sniffer: http://hitsniffer.com

I've been using it for almost two years now, and whatever it may not have in eye candy makes up in it's very robust reporting.

Personally, I think $99 /mnth is so overpriced it's delusional, and I suspect SEOmoz's churn rate tells a similar story.
