Anyone that works in SEO will know just how expensive the many subscriptions of the many SEO tools can be and I find it hard to believe that many subscribe to all of them. So I was just wondering which tools people people to subscribe to in SEO from rank trackers, Keyword research, link building, and backlink checkers etc etc

I only use Jaaxy for keyword research and then I use aWeber for my online marketing. I don't really keep track of my rankings and backlinks as much as I should. But then again I am a blogger, not an SEO expert freelancer What SEO Software combinations do you use?

Thanks for the replies guys. Not all SEO tools are there to automatically make links though - I understand with the likes of Scrapebox and GSA Networker that is what they do but i meant other types of tools as well. I guess I should not have use the term 'software' as some tools are browser/cloud based.

I love Pro Rank Tracker when it comes to tracking rankings, I also use SEO Powersuite which is an excellent bundle of packages that helps with onsite optimization, checking the quality and amount of backlinks, link outreach etc etc. Monitor Backlinks and SECockpit are another two I use. What about the likes of Majestic, Moz, SEM Rush, and Ahrefs?

Mikey I was wondering what you think of Scrapebox? I know it can be used to create links but I wouldn't want to do that, I would just want to use it to find places to build good links What SEO Software combinations do you use?

I looked at the price the other day and it was I think $97 once off. I don't want to spend that now. Do you think it is better to just leave link building like this for the experts and then I can spend my time creating content rather? You know like I have so little time in my day as it is and I think linkbuilding will take a lot of time...

Hey Lynne,

The good thing about Scrapebox is that at least it is just a one-time payment and not a monthly gig like so many others. Some cost kind a bit each month and when you add up the monthly subscriptions it can be quite a lot - fine if you have the customers rolling in but can be painful at quiet times. Like you and others mentioned - although it is sometimes seen as a tool that is a bit blackhat it does have some excellent alternative uses that are not as well.

Probably a good idea to leave linkbuilding to the experts but there can be good feelings had from securing your very own highly relevant, high authority backlinks off your own back through some outreach. Remember that just one link like this can be more powerful than hundreds of lower quality links.

It does not take all that long to do really if you have the right software as even outreach can be sped up through software such as finding lists of niche relevant websites, discovering all their their email addresses and then sending out emails.

Of course, creating high quality regular content can result in links naturally anyway - so you should definitely spend the majority of your time on that.

I remember when a lot of people used to use SEO softwares to create mass spam on blog comments. I don't think I know of anyone who does SEO that uses a program. I think most are doing it manually now because it's more efficient, and the search engines won't think it's SEO software spam.

I would actually suggest to do SEO manually than automatically via a program these days. The algorithms changed in many ways, and I'm not too certain just how updated the programs are to reflect these changes, and I would be terrified to use one.
