I agree paid SEO services also harm the reputation and ranking on search engines and Click rate, so these tools are better then a paid SEO service. Paid SEO is only good when they are trusted and having a good review among their customers so watch out before getting a paid SEO service.

Basically these tools are more of analytic tools and won't give you any advantage in search result. So you cant exactly use these as alternatives for link building tools or other SEO packages.

Link building tools or those link packages work great if you know what you are doing. You con't use those blindly without knowing what those do or without a plan. That could do more harm than any help.

Good thing is couple of years back Google has given this option called "Disavow links" in webmaster tools. There you can do a full reset of all your backlinks to a website.

Well yeah too many websites and too many webmasters. So much competition. But the good thing is you don't need to stick solo with Google these days. There are plenty of other good traffic sources out there because of Social Media.

Specially if you are targeting younger crowd social media is the best way to get traffic fast.
