Starting an SEO campaign can be crucial if you don’t have the right tools.

SEO experts tend to buy expensive tools to practice SEO much better.

Well here’s the thing, it’s NOT always necessary to buy one especially if it will eat out your budget. I have listed all the best (IMO) SEO tools that you might have never heard of. And yes, these are absolutely FREE.

OpenLinkProfiler.org

OpenLinkProfiler.org is a free backlink analysis tool that lets you analyze and download the freshest backlinks.

Unlike other tools, you can download 100,000 backlinks using OpenLinkProfiler.org absolutely free. It'll also give all the freshest backlinks that are active during the last 90 days.

Features?

• Link Disinfection - Apparently, OpenLinkProfiler.org can also check for unnatural links. It will give you an idea of how many potential harmful links are pointing to your website. This one offers too much if it’s free that’s why they limited the examples to 7 harmful links.

• Anchor Texts - You can also get an idea on what keywords are mostly used as anchor texts.

• You can also find out what countries are linking the most when you go to the Countries tab.

• LIS Distribution or the Link Influence Score is like the Domain version of OpenSiteExplorer. It’ will give you an idea if a certain backlink is authoritative or not.

• Know the category of the link itself, whether it’s from a news site or a blog, just click Link Contexts. 

• Industries tab on the other hand shows the topic of the linking websites. Ex. advertising, business, media etc.

This tool is new and I’m excited to see how it will evolve and become one of the best out there. Go ahead and try it out!
