David,
The account supports unlimited profiles and domains. Our
major cost
comes with tracking SERPs, so that's where it can get more
expensive.
We haven't finalized the number yet, but we're looking at
providing up
to 100 keywords that can be tracked with the $20/mo account.
Then we
will charge $0.05/mo for additional keywords. So, if you
wanted to
track 500 keywords, it would cost a total of $40/mo and if
you wanted
to track 1,000 keyword, it would cost $65/mo.
Everything else though is included in the base price. You
can manage
as many websites as you want, add as many links as you want
and run as
many reports as you want. We're also working on some
additional
features and tools that will make certain processes more
efficient,
like adding links to the Link Manager.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
