I hope this post will be useful to a few out there! Here are some tools and a brief explanation of how they can be helpful to your link building: - Scrapebox. Must have tool. You will need to learn how to scrape which is not something I can easily post about here. Once you know how to scrape you will be able to get a list of sites that are highly targeted to site for link building, build comments, get PR and ranking for your keywords, etc... - Google Analytics Advanced Reports and Custom Alerts. This is not a tool, but adding custom alerts to check your organic rankings will definitely help. - Microworkers. Use these guys to read your content and like, share it, etc.. - Keyword Spy. This tool can be useful because it shows keyword traffic volumes for keywords that are not usually shown with Google keyword tool. You will get more opportunity to find relevant keywords to target. - Market Samurai. Definitely helpful research tool as well. Will help you understand what your competitors are doing SEO and marketing wise. - Ahrefs. Definitely a must if you are doing SEO. Checks backlinks quality and every other important SEO metric there is. They also have a helpful comparison tool! - SEO Book Rank Checker Toolbor Tool. This gives a quick summary of rankings, PR, etc.. right in the tool bar. - Moz Toolbar. This is really helpful as well. Will show DA, PA, PR and other metrics as well. If anyone has experience with other tools - please add them here.
NameChex is a helpful tool for those who need to check bulk domain availability and MOZ lookups. Also, I know that GSA SER is a tool people were using at one time for link building. xRumer was another as well at one time..
Well for linkbuilding itself, not to 'help', but actually BUILD, the most popular now are: SE Nuke (new version) GSA SER Scrapebox I wouldn't use ANY of them unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing. Google has filters in place just waiting for you to trip them with tools like these.
Agreed for SE Nuke and GSA but you can white hat it up with scrapebox and it's still way better than doing everything manually.
Do you guys have any campaign samples or se nuke and GSA as I am a newbie at seo and would like a helping hand with these programs, or do you know of any good tutorials. Cheers
Is scrapebox for free? Anyway, it seems that I've already found an alternative to SEO Quake -- Moz Toolbar.
No Scrapebox is $97 but worth it. Back up and running with mine tonight. They answered my request within 10 mins, great service. Wasn't expecting a response until tomorrow.
For SEO beginners this site is so very useful. I did learn from it. http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
I will add Gscraper to the list. This is a monster in finding potential backlink pages if you know how to milk it properly. Another one but a bit pricy is SEO Power Suite (this is a gem IMO)
You better focus on working with quality content that can get shared. That's the best way to approach SEO these days.
Thanks for the tools and they definitely work.Google doesnt know whether the link was build manually or with a software,it only gets an idea from the speed of your linkbuilding.So, as long as you keep a low profile in building the number of links pointing to your money site,you wont get into problem.Just use premium indexing service with automated linkbuilding.As far as lower tiers are concerned,blast em all.
