Tools

There are a lot of link building tools out there, of which some are actually quite useful. I use several of these tools regularly, and have tried numerous other tools as well. To help you pick the right tools for your link building toolkit, I have listed and reviewed some of the most well-known and/ or best tools.

Disclaimer: None of the companies behind these tools have paid me to review their product, and I am being completely honest about what I think of each of the reviewed tools.

Please keep in mind that there is no perfect link building tool, except for what you might be able to build in-house. What is a great tool for person or company X, can be relatively useless for someone else. It depends on what your preferred method of work is, and what you’d want a link building tool to do. My opinions are based on what I’d like a link building tool to do and what I would use it for, so this could be different for you.
