Backlink Research Tool

Hello everyone

I was wondering if anyone could help me in finding a cheap link research tool. I'm aware of ahrefs and I used it around a year ago, but the monthly fees just don't represent value for money for me.

I will only be doing around 10 searches a month at the most, so it doesn't make any sense for me to be paying large monthly fees. If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest you to try CognitiveSEO. Pricing starts from $99/month; 14 days free trial is also available. We used this tool along with Moz; personally I find CognitiveSEO an inch better than Moz in some cases.

      While I appreciate the answer, I specifically said that I want a cheap service because I will only be doing around 10 searches a month. $99 a month would mean $9.90 a search and I think we can both agree that's a tad expensive

        You have a few options:
        1. Find a buddy or two to help cut the cost and share an account.
        2. Use Fiverr, there are gigs that will get you the reports you need and it may be cheaper.

          Think about Fiverr with different perspective. What efforts those gigs will put in for a few $$? Places like Fiverr disappoints more than any other tools, because what you get is the ones who have studied some articles of self-claimed experts in SEO. IMO, if you care about your website; stay away from the site like Fiverr and other freelancing SEO sites.

            You missed the guys point. You can buy a fiverr job that will send you the ahrefs.com or majsticseo.com's backlink reports. This has nothing to do with actual SEO from fiverr. I'm not sure you read any of the posts being made before you respond.

              I always read everything perfectly. If you guys think people on Fiverr are reliable and able to afford paid packages of ahrefs.com or majsticseo.com, then go ahead.

        Yes, it's a little bit expensive but then earlier I had no idea how much you were/are paying for ahref. But as 14 days free trail available so you can test it along with other tools.

      CognitiveSEO is crap, and did you even read his post? He was complaining about the monthly fee for Ahrefs, which is CHEAPER than cognitive. How does this help him?

        Btw, almost every tool available for SEO is somehow crap whether it's cheap or expensive. I mentioned CognitiveSEO because it comes with 14 days free trial which is quite sufficient time to check whether it's crappy tool or value for money. The second reason behind recommendation, we used it previously along with Moz.

      Majestic provides great value for a tool.

    Majestic SEO, Ranksignals are the best tools ever I have come across. Worth using it to look out for the backlinks of competitors.

    You will be able to get a fairly good idea of the links coming into a page or domain by using Backlink miner, Use the following search at Google

    backlink miner discount

    and you will find a link to get it for $67 one time. You will need a free Moz api key because it pulls links from moz, seokicks and a few other free services. You will not get every link coming but for a free Api tool it gives surprisingly good coverage. In addition you can load links you get from other sources provided they are in some kind of CSV file.

    Its my and quite a few other regulars here go to tool for checking backlinks

    With Backlink Miner do you have to have a subscription to the other services? Like Ahrefs?

    You think it is still safe to buy? Is their page back up?

    I just tried these guys out . It has Ahref/Whitespark/SEM Rush all together for like $39/Month Not the full blown versions but maybe enough for you. I think they have a 3 days trial.Look up SEO Compass

    Yes, backlinkwatch.com is nice free tool. However, majestic, ahref are good but expensive paid tools.

      Between you and Moz free account theres a pretty good coverage. You guys need to do better marketing because I was not even aware you had a paid service. All I see is the API service and a lot of people don't program or have the time to program a REST application. I'd sign up with you guys in a heartbeat if you had an online application since your free service IS interesting..

    Thanks for your feedback! You're right, we've to do a lot more marketing indeed. At the moment we're working very hard to improve our crawlers, therefore the SEOkicks backlink database will grow a lot within the next few weeks. Spending more time/money on marketing will be the next step!
