  4. Sarvottam

    Hello Harsh,
    I have been using some of these tools and it surely worked like the weapon in SEO/SMO, Specially Keyword research tools. Thanks for sharing the list, It is very helpful to newcomers and experts who forget some tools when keep on trying one after others.
    Light & Love!

  5. Hendra

    Great post, Harsh. I especially like how you highlighted and linked to all of your recommended resources. Very helpful. Extremely easy to scan for quick reference.

    It’s also great to compare notes with people like yourself, whose work I respect, to see what tools you’re currently using. Interestingly, I already use about 80% of what’s on your list, which gives me some added peace-of-mind. Sometimes it’s easy to second guess yourself and wonder if your processes and workflow are as good as they can be.

    One last thing … BigStockPhoto.com is now my preferred choice for stock imagery. For the past 4-5 years I had been using iStockPhoto.com exclusively. However, you and Jon suggested BigStockPhoto.com a few weeks ago, and it’s now my “go to” source. Great selection of images. Thanks for that tip!

  6. Sara

    I’ve discovered over the past few months that the Copyleaks tool is the best way to check for plagiarism in and outside of my work. I used to submit with other tools but they didn’t give me accurate results. copyleaks.com is an easy way for me to find any source that was used in my work. I definitely recommend this tool.

  7. Suleman

    Hey Harsh,
    I can’t imagine how you write these amazing posts, your blog is a great help for new bloggers. You are sharing everything which is the best part of this blog. I have learned alot from your blog and I almost read your every post.

  8. Debby

    Hi, Harsh! I’m really enjoy your blog)
    This is a great list. Another tool I would add is Unicheck. As a blogger I’ve been using this the past 5 months after seeing my content was being taken and duplicated on a few other websites I did not give permission to. I suggest this for anyone publishing content online!
    Best wishes!

      A great list of tools, a few of which I have used myself over the years. Another tool I started using and I think many bloggers don’t think about enough is plagiarism detection. I’ve been using Copyleaks the past few months and have been notified on many occasions of when my content has been copied and used elsewhere. I highly recommend it…you can try it for free copyleaks.com

    Thanks for Buzzsumo and Google trends. Grammarly, Pocket, Quora, Webmaster tools and some other tools are familiar but major share of these tools are new to me. Thank You

  17. Linda Aksomitis

    Great article! I’ve provided it as a resource for students in the online course I teach, Introduction to Internet Writing Markets. I do have another favorite that I’ve been using for years — Diigo, which is a social bookmarking tool I would add it under Productivity, as it really saves time by saving sites you use for research, plus you can highlight content on the webpage and even make an outline for an article using a variety of sites. It’s amazing!

  18. Sotiris Bassakaropoulos
