Hey George,

Thanks for getting involved in this!

I checked out your tools page and love the Image Raider tool! Will definitely use this in the future if at some point any of my images get used. Because I can’t really afford to buy images at the moment pretty much all my images are my own.

Will pop you an email when the results post to this roundup goes live.

Cheers!

I’d probably say:

1) Webmaster tools – gives you your fundamentals – a place to check how Google is looking at your website. Also one of the best lists of backlinks you can get – links that tools like MajesticSEO and Open Site Explorer don’t pick up. I’ve found link lists in Webmaster particularly useful for combating negative SEO.

2) MajesticSEO – I prefer MajesticSEO to Open Site Explorer. I use this for lots of backlink profile metrics.

3) Moz (SEOmoz) – wide selection of tools to help with SEO. E.g. checks websites for errors and issues, and gives keyword competition.

Hey Adam,

Massive thanks for these!

Wish I could have used BuzzStream over the last few days managing this roundup but unfortunately my internet is so shockingly slow along with the Great Firewall being updated once again, I’m having to do everything the old fashioned way via excel and a mail client. Looking forward to using BuzzStream when my interent situation improves.

Will be in touch via email and thanks again!

Hey Samuel,

Big thanks for getting back to me. I’ll check out Raven Tools soon and will let you know when the results of this roundup go live. So far we’ve got 40 responses. 50’s the goal 😉

Thanks again!

Thanks Richard for the outreach, my apologies it has taken me this time to respond, time has been very scarce.

My 3 top tools are,

Google Analytics : This is the only tool I need to evaluate campaigns, track conversions and monitor set KPIs.

Google Webmaster Tools : Another google tool. Tells me what is going on with links.

Raven Tools : A very robust SEO assistant that pulls in data from multiple sources.

Regards

Samuel

Ok no worries Abhishek. I’m guessing you post a lot and get a lot of traffic from the long tail? Thanks for your input 🙂

1) BuzzStream – this is an essential part of our process at UK Linkology (www.uklinkology.co.uk). It allows us to manage large guest posting campaigns with ease, track links and social mentions – even prospect for link building opportunities. The built in CRM is perfect for link building and it makes what can easily spiral out of control into something that’s easily managable.

2) Ahrefs – I use a couple of different sources for examining link profiles, but Ahrefs has got some really impressive tools that make it stand out .. the way they break down anchor text into different numbered terms makes identifying issues very easy (Ross Hudgens wrote about the possibility of using term anchor text a while back here:https://www.rosshudgens.com/term-anchor-text/) .

The crawler comes in handy, along with the mentions and batch analysis tools.

The graphs it spits out come in handy for reports too.

3) Advanced Web Ranking – I’ve tested a lot of rank tracking tools, and I know that tracking rankings is really difficult, lots of factors involved but you still need a bench mark – this bench mark will help you identify possible issues in the future.

I’ve tried desktop and online based tools to track rankings, and I’ve had problems across the board – lack of features, poor reporting but AWR does everything that I need with some crawling and site evaluation tools too.
