Dudettes and Dudes!

This is simple. I wanna play around with some SEO tools. Tell me, what SEO tools have you used this year, how much they've cost you, what EXACTLY you use them for, and if/how much they've helped you rank for terms.

Simple, right?

Ohhh, and if you use the tools for yourself or a client or an "expert" on it, please PM me

Edit: So I should've been specific: mainly for link building but let's throw in competition analysis
#search engine optimization #2015 #seo #tools
  • Hey man. I'm planning to use the SPYFU tool - it's mainly for competitor analysis.

    I haven't used it yet, but here's an article from SEOChat that talks about the tools' nooks and crannies: How To Use the New @SPYFU for Smart Competitor Analysis

    • There are many other tools such as Ahrefs, Rankchecker ...
  • Best Tools,

    SEMrush,Screaming Frog,AHREF
  • Moz.org- keyword difficulty, reverse engineering backlinks
    Topsy- Content marketing
    GSA Ranker & Scrapebox
  • try openlinkprofiler.org for competitors backlinks
  • Aweber, Hootsuite, Google Analytics, Google Ads Manager, Ahref and Market Samurai. These are the best seo tools for me to used in helping your online business
  • It depends on what exactly you are working on and what kind of softeare you require For anylytics Moz and analytics ingratiation is still on the top side for comments GSA is top .
  • For keywords wise, Google keyword tool and some Google SERP checking is more than sufficient.

    We only write manual blog posts and build manual white hat links, we don't really use 'tools' per se as we believe is described by the other comments above.

    • Can we be More specific than giving a list of SEO websites please?
      Rate them on a scale of 1 - 10 and say WHY you'd recommend them? Have the SEO recommendations have taken your site from 670,000 to page one on Google?
      Now THAT's a good recommendation!
  • lot paid or free seo tools outhere. but even paid Seo tools is great but still hard for small business to subscribe it. why dont you take a look Free SEO tools. even it limited but still they have great value too.
    Free SEO Tools :
    1 . freedirectorywebsites.com/seo-tools/
  • Backlinkbeast.
  • Ahrefs & Majestic SEO are perfect for backlink analysis.

    Google Webmaster tool is REQUIRED.

    Keyword tool of Google Adwords is strongly recommended for Keyword Analisys (also Market Samurai can help you a lot!)
  • The best FREE ones are Google Analytics, Google keyword tool, and Webmaster tools. You can utilize those to find out everything you need to know about your website. When working with competition - Spyfy and Moz are my favorites!
  • So I should've been specific:
    analyzing competition
    and link building

    • I just spent a few hours doing a search of the same topic. Here are the results from a variety of webpages. Post is a bit long, so I hope you like to read (instead of TL;DR). To avoid reading this long post, just go to cloudswave.com because they have the most in depth information on the topic as well as the largest variety of tools. After page 2, I got tired and needed a break, so if you wanted to mine the tiny crumbs left over, be my guest. The largest/most successful softwares seem to be (SEO)moz and Raven; I say that from an internet researcher perspective, not from having used them. Top tens are not always right; sometimes there is something you need specifically that one product will do in a far superior fashion and it will be listed last, but alternatively it gives you a feel for the field as a whole. To everyone: feel free to copy the below information that took me ~3 hrs to make and format if you find it helpful in your presentation(s).

  • Hello Friends,

    The best SEO tools will helps you investigate your competition in great depth, comparing your inbound link, keyword targets authority, traffic and search engine ranking.
  • Alexa Tool Bar
    Google Analytic
    Google Webmaster
    Ahrefs

  • The favorite tools that I use:

    1. Scrape Box (no Seo should be without it- not just a spamming tool)

    2. Traffic Travis (surprised?)- updates constantly, simple interface, robust functions. Amazing Data gathering. One of the most underrated Seo tools in my opinion. One of the first tools I got as a newb and I constantly come back to it.

    3. Seo Power Suite (beautiful interface, great support, I've used it for years and probably always will especially seospyglass and link assistant. Traffic Travis is not as "pretty" but probably a better option for 95% of online marketers who aren't part of a firm.*

    *If I had to choose between SEO Power Suite and Traffic Travis, Traffic Travis would win it. My opinion.

    4. Keyword Organizer (sleeper!) Basically a database for your keywords. Doesnt sound sexy but a dangerous tools in the hands of someone who know what they are doing.

    5. Of course - Google Webmaster Tools, Google Keyword Planner, And Ahrefs.

    • SEO PowerSuite and Google Keyword Planner are my favourites. I really like Mass Planner 2 for social media automation; not exactly a SEO tool, although I guess you could say it is as social signals count more and more towards SEO.
  • I am using AHREF for a long time. ;-)

  • serpfox for keyword tracking. SEMRush. Custom seo tools are the best though..
  • You only need 3...

    1) Moz pro - For link target analysis and the other ridiculously useful shit they do
    2) Buzzstream - The best CRM for keeping track of link targets and relationships
    3) Link Prospector - Cheap and extremely effective tool for prospecting for link targets, if you can use Google's advanced operators, this thing is INCREDIBLE.

    If you use these 3 tools effectively and you can sell moderately well, then you can make 6 figures per year fairly easily.

    Best SEO Tools of 2015

    Dudettes and Dudes! This is simple. I wanna play around with some SEO tools. Tell me, what SEO tools have you used this year, how much they've cost you, what EXACTLY you use them for, and if/how much they've helped you rank for terms.
