The Contact Finder >>
You input a list of URLs for which you’d like to gather email addresses. The tool visits each site and hunts for email addresses, contact forms and “contact us” pages. You get back a CSV of contacts. The Contact Finder saves time and precious, precious brain power – watch the walkthrough video or just try it now.
The Outbound Link Scraper >>
You input a list of URLs containing outbound links you’d like to extract. The tool visits each page and extracts only the outbound links. You get back a CSV with domains and URLs. The Outbound Link Scraper makes quick work of extracting URLs from those long and wonderful lists of sites you’d like to contact. And then you can add them right into the Contact Finder! Nice :) watch the walkthrough video or just try it now.
The Bulk Backlink Checker
Input your target domain and a list of pages you want to scrape and check for your link. The output is 1 zip file with 2 CSVs – 1 containing pages that link and 1 with pages that don’t. If it was any simpler it would actually start to get complicated ;) Read more about it here.
