Another round of tools for our SEO Arsenal series.

Today its all about backlink tools. As an SEO, you would like to have a lot of inbound links (also called backlinks) from different websites. However, not all links are created equal. The best links would be from web pages of the same theme as your website.

If your website is about hotel, then links from different hotels, hotel review sites, hotel price comparison, disney hotels, europe hotels would be the best kind of links as compared to having links from personal blogs.

So here are the list of tools:
