I’ve used most of the tools that LinkResearchTools.com offers for a few of my projects. Since I’m really satisfied with how they work, I want to share some of my findings. Across each tool in the post, I’ll say in plain English what that particular tool is actually good for. Some of the tools are really simple ones, but the others are absolutely robust, because of the features they have. Used in conjunction, they are a powerful SEO weapon of mass destruction. If you want to use a particular tool, just click on its thumbnail image. They also offer free trials so you’ll be able to actually test-drive any tool you’d like to learn more about.

It’s a great tool if you want to see the weak and strong points of your domain and those of your competitors’. You may want to use it when you need to decide what to do first in order to overcome your ranking rivals asap.

This tool makes it possible to find out which exaclty backlinks (yours or your competitor’s) are really valuable. Having that info, you know what links you need to keep by all means and which ones you can just dump …
Juice Tool (Bulk URL Analyzer)
This tool is pretty much similar to the one above, but this time you can specify which exactly links you’d like to get data for. The really neat thing is that this magic tool actually checks if those links exist at this particular moment. So, it gives you the most up-to-date metrics info out there.

You can use the tool when you need to find out which exactly keywords can generate considerable traffic with minimal effort. It’s especially smart to target the easiest keywords if you just start out with your brand new site.

Contact Finder
Being a SEO PRO, you’ll have times when you just can’t find a site owner’s contact details. Alternatively, you may may want to contact a site owner so that he removes bad links to your site. You just need to type in the domain of the site you want to find contact details of.
Common Backlinks Tool
Would you like to know what sites many of your competitors have backlinks from? If they are ranked higher and most of them have links from those sites, it makes sense to assume that in order to bump up your rankings, you need backlinks from those common sites as well.
Missing Links Tool
Have you ever wondered what sites link back to your competitors, but not you? Well, now you can find out just that. You can specify up to 50 competitors and the tool will get back to you with a report of the sites that you need to obtain links from.

This tool will send you regular updates about new links that your website got. I guess you can keep track of your competitors’ links using the tool as well, though I have not tried it myself for that particular purpose.
Link Detox
If you got the Unnatural Link Warning from Google or you just know that you need to get rid of some backlinks this tool is your friend. You can set the tool to either just check your existing links or even those that you want to get. I’d call it the most in demand one from all the gang.

Strongest Sub Pages Tool
Site owners are more willing to place your link on their sites, if the link does not go to the homepage. The trick is that sub-pages and sub-folders can be as strong as the homepage (or even stronger). The Strongest Sub Pages Tool helps to find such pages on a specific site.
Link Juice Recovery Tool
The Link Juice Recovery Tool checks your site for broken links, because you’re wasting your Google juice pointing to such pages. Other that that, you can use the tool to find issues on the sites where you want to get a backlink.
Conclusion
Though I really like how the tools work, I still have a suggestion for the guys behind LinkResearchTools.com . Most of the tools are pretty straight forward and you get how to use them right away, but there are cases when you need to spend like a minute or two just to figure out how that thing works. I’m sure that a short introductory screencast video about each tool would be a stunning thing to add. It would make the tools a real SEO bomb. What do you think guys?
