Their tools come with a full suite that’ll empower you to prepare, launch, and keep track of all your outreach campaigns.
12. Connectively (Formerly HARO, Help a Reporter Out)
HARO Help a Reporter Out (Screenshot) for Getting Links to Your Blog
Connectively, formerly HARO (also known as Help a Reporter Out) is a bit different from the other tools on this list. It’s not a piece of software or a plugin: it’s a vast email list that matches up reporters and sources. By getting your quote used in an article, you might get links from huge, authoritative websites like major national newspapers.
13. Google Alerts

Google Alerts is a simple tool that monitors any mention of your chosen keywords online. Many bloggers use Google Alerts to look out for mentions of their own name, their company’s name, blog’s name, and their main product/service names. That way, if you’re mentioned somewhere, you can contact the website or blog in question and ask for a link. Check out my tutorial on using Google Alerts to grow your blog.
14. Free Backlink Checker by Ryan Robinson (Me)
Free Backlink Checker by Ryan Robinson (SEO Tools for Bloggers)
The free Backlink Checker I built is one of my forever free blogging tools that lets you check the backlinks for any website. As with other free backlink tools like Ubersuggest and Ahrefs, you can easily use mine to find your competitors’ backlinks. It’s also a great tool to use for broken link checking. (One method of gaining backlinks is to find broken links on other people’s sites and suggest your content as a replacement link, where appropriate.)
