What Else is on the Market?

But if you believe that you should invest your money in SEO tools, then consider using Majestic SEO for checking for backlinks (so that you can disavow backlinks if there are a lot of them pointing back to your website. Especially the ones shown to you in Google Webmaster Tools (links to your site feature). Keep in mind that Google doesn’t show all the backlinks data, and also, Google may be penalizing your site algorithmically due to spammy backlinks. That is why it is wise to invest in good backlink checking platforms.
