Link Building Tools
Link building is an ongoing process. You are never done with it. So, the sooner you get used to doing this on a regular basis, the faster your business will grow.
Now, here is the lazy man's way to link building.
TIP: Invest in a Search Linking Tool. The hard way can easily set you back by days if not weeks of effort. If I can pay my way out of it, I will; and you should too.
A good link building tool will let you, in the very minimum
- Analyze Backlinks using a specified search engine.
- Analyze link anchor text, title, link text
- Verify that link partners you work with are still linking back to you.
- Find where your site is ranked for a given keyword.
- Find the pages that are indexed on your site.
- Find authority web sites using your keywords.
- Find Alexa Ranking for various web sites.
- Have ability to save your work and resume at a later time.
A good tool should also:
- Be easy to use. You need to be able to use it very intuitively.
- Have good customer service support in case you have a problem.
- Provide regular updates to your software in case something changes in the Search industry. Google changes its algorithm quite frequently. You don't want it to make your software unusable.
- A strong money-back guarantee in case you are dis-satisfied.
And finally,
The Tools I Recommend
I actually use two tools for link building; depending on which client I am working with.
Web CEO :
This tool has quite a few versions. Depending on your needs, you can put down anything from $97 for the small business marketer to $479 for the professional Search Engine Optimizer. You might want to start with the free download.

Seo Elite (for Serious Marketers):
I've used this tool quite extensively over the past two years. It is $47/- per month for the full version. The advantage is that the software maker provides regular updates completely free of charge.
