The following is a sponsored post for Raven tools. Not only are Raven Tools very powerful and help you get things done quickly and efficiently, but they are also offered at a very reasonable price. If you’ve been involved in SEO for the past few years you’ve probably heard about Raven Tools, but you might not have looked at them. They have a fairly extensive variety tools, that are designed to make it easier for a small SEO firm to provide nice formated white labeled reports to their clients and for consultants to use the reports and data for tracking and to make strategic and tactical decisions. In this post we’ll be taking a look at link management, link research and reporting. Link Research and Link Management There are a lot of tools here so I’ll hit a few, you can see who links to you and monitor if the link changes or goes inactive. You can use it to explore the links of other websites. You can use it to scan for potential link partners based on keywords. Using that information you can start contacting site owners for links, and if everyone uses the screen shown below you can make sure you don’t send duplicate requests, or keep requesting links from the same sources over again and again.

The tables can be sorted by any of the columns you want, and can be exported to CSV, if you want to use them somewhere else. Reporting & White Labeling Click here to view the embedded video. In my opinion the reporting and white labeling of data is one the things that makes paying for Raven a no brainer. If you run reports on a regular basis for your own internal use or for client use the time you spend compiling the data can take days. If you set up raven properly with all the access it needs, it can run the reports in minutes, automatically if you want, and it will deliver them by email if you tell it to. Here’s a small sample it ran for my website, the data is a little incomplete since I only had it running for a few weeks, so your reports will be better. You can customize the reports with your own colors and logo, so it looks like the reports are coming directly from you. Taking this one step further if you want to give access to the online versions to other people or clients in your company that’s an option as well Click here to view the embedded video. Pricing Raven has three different pricing tiers $19, $99, $249 per month. Each of the different levels has different number of websites/logins 1 user/3 website, 2 users/unlimited websites, and 8 users/unlimited websites. If you are a very small shop or on a limited budget $19 is very reasonable for the time it saves you, however for most people the $99 or $249 is a better deal. If you where collecting the reporting data and building a report yourself it would cost you well over $99 per month even if you used offshore labor, again so in my mind it’s a no brainer decision.

You can do things like tweet via API directly from the Raven website, and monitor for keyword mentions across different websites, blog and forums. In short it’s a very powerful dashboard that lets you get your work done all in one place. Not only are Raven Tools very powerful and help you get things done quickly and efficiently, but they are also offered at very reasonably prices.
