    If you have any problems with your rankings or a decrease in ranking position within google it is very good to make an Link Audit with the Link Research Tools. Then you Screen all Links manually and setup your disavow-file easily. With the Link Detox Boost you gain Rankings back so fast. The last time we used it for a client, we got back the rankings within a week to 170 Positions within the Top Ten, even Position 1.

    To get a quick handle on keyword metrics and ideas, this tool really is idea. It is sooooooo much easier to work with than Semrush, which does a lot and is organized, on the whole, rather poorly.

    • Over the years I have learned that WordTracker's KEI is particularly good at revealing a keyword's relative value.
    • WordTracker finds related search terms which helps us develop a more comprehensive keyword strategy.
    • WordTracker also enables practical sorting across columns which helps us select competitive keywords quickly.
    • We use WordTracker frequently in our first phases of keyword research and have found it to be very solid.
    • This tool provides us with data to support our recommendations for changes that may need to be made to be successful in the SERPs and is also helpful in explaining our overall strategy to our clients.

    Cons
    LinkResearchTools
    • Not for newcomers to SEO simply because its vast array of features may hinder them.
    • Is quite pricey too; so for small businesses etc., it's probably not a viable option.

    • More accurate impression rate per phrase - even if a phrase gets only 15 impressions a month, those impressions might be valuable customers/sales.
    • Pricing could be more affordable
    • Better explore keywords that indicate a customer is ready to purchase

    • Good bang for the buck.
    • Makes the work flow easier by being able to extract data faster.
    • Quick for my team to learn how to use.
    • Lots of data. Really really lots of data.
    • Good for general SEM and SEO work. Nice overall for nationwide campaigns. Since we are not uber local, no worries on the lack of the data there

    LinkResearchTools is much more advanced in analyzing links. Period. All the other mentioned tools have many useful features for SEO but LRT is definitely the way to go for backlink analysis, link building, and competition analysis. They also offer very nice and quality courses for improving SEO knowledge. I already attended one of them and I am very satisfied with the knowledge I gained.

    I only use WordTracker, rather than the old Google keyword research tool. In my experience, WordTracker is the best keyword analysis tool because it's easy to understand, use, and find the information for which you are looking. I also think WordTracker is the most well known and trusted amongst its competitors
