SEO Tool Chest - Link Tools 2

My SEO Tool Chest is overflowing with all the tools I have acquired over time, so for this series of posts I'm trying to follow some sort of logical pattern. Let me know if I succeed or fail.

When I am looking at inbound back links (IBLs) to a site, I usually use SeoElite, because it provides just about everything I want to know. Also, I can export the results to a CSV file, import into Excel and analyze them. It shows me the IP Address, the anchor text, PageRank™, WhoIs, contact email and much, much more.

If you are on a budget, you can get most of this information free from my SEO Tool Chest.

As I mentioned in my last post, you can get some great general data from MarketLeap's Link Popularity Check, then move on for IP block analysis with LinkHarvester.

Now you are ready to look at the link anchor text with the Backlink Anchor Text Analysis tool. This tool gets it's results from Yahoo!, which is known to be the most complete source for IBL data. (sometimes this site is slow to initially load and you might need to hit refresh once) This is a handy tool and relatively quick. The downside is you can not export the data without using a site scrapper program.
