SEO Tools for Link Building and Link Analysis
What is LinkResearchTools?
LinkResearchTools is a software that combines a lot of data and provides you actionable insights and recommendations to act upon.
LRT is Search Engine Optimization Software.
LRT is SEO software that helps companies improve their organic rankings in the results of search engines like Google, which are basing their ranking algorithms heavily on links.
Companies using LinkResearchTools want to get their website listed higher up in the search results than their competitors. So that if a user searches for a specific word, the likelihood of the client website getting shown by the search engine and the user clicking on it increases.
What do better rankings mean?
An increase in Organic Search Traffic.
When rankings in search engines improve, that often leads to an increase in the number of visits.
An increase in the number of visits from qualified leads and the number clicks received from them often goes hand-in-hand with an increase in the conversion rates.
This in turn can lead to an exponential growth in revenue and thus profit for a company.
Even if website traffic dropped, as shown, LRT can help. LRT has the biggest experience in fixing Google penalties thanks to it's own Link Detox®.
How do links impact search results?
Search Engines Analyze Links
The web is built by only two major elements.
Content and Links.
Search Engines like Google read the website content and try to figure out the best document for a specified search query. While there are many text retrieval methods available, the strongest signal has and always will be the number of links from other websites (or citations in the academic world).
Over the years, the understanding of how backlinks affect websites has improved a lot.
Links can help or hurt a website. Links need to develop over time. Toxic links need to be removed or disavowed.
Many savvy web marketers understand how links can help increase their organic traffic to their websites.
Google and others will never openly confirm that manipulation of their organic search results is possible, quite easy, and is being done by whole industries for decades with a lot success.
Don't take a sword to gunfight.
~Tim Mayer, Head of Product Yahoo

About Christoph C. Cemper
Father, Founder, Entrepreneur, Marketer and Data Geek
Christoph C. Cemper started developing code at the age of 10, sold the rights on his first own computer game to published at 15. The software industry kept him active since.
Christoph started working in online marketing in 2003, providing link building services. Very soon with his team he developed (the private) LinkResearchTools (LRT) out of the desperate need for reliable and accurate SEO software, and launched to the public in 2009 as a SaaS product.
When the Google Penguin updates changed the rules of SEO in 2012, Christoph had Link Detox® ready within a week due to so much pre-work and quality data available in LRT already. Link Detox helps finding toxic links in a website's backlink profile since. Christoph also introduced the process for ongoing link audits as "Link Risk Management" in 2012.
In 2019 a much higher degree of automation and accuracy was introduced to the public with a complete rebuilt "Smart" product line of LinkResearchTools and Link Detox, providing the user with automated advisory and SEO knowledge patterns applied to the data, so users can focus even more on decisions instead of data gathering.
Today LinkResearchTools is the undisputed leader when it comes to link data quality, backlink profile coverage, and accuracy of link risk assessment.
More about Christoph can be found on his personal website.
You do a great job reminding people about the importance of links
And we (Google) don't appreciate that.
*...said Gary Illyes, October - September 2017, to Christoph.
