1. Ahrefs (SEO & Keywords)

The most important thing of a life of blogger is SEO and talking about SEO, the first tool that comes in our mind is Ahrefs. With it's multi-facility oriented designed to attract towards, it gives the most accurate results claimed by experts. It is mostly used for keyword research purpose. Although it is not free, it gives you a free trial of one week compared to it's competitors like MoZ, Semrush (we will talk about them in later stages)

Get most out of Ahrefs :-

b. The next awesome feature is it's ability of giving idea of how a keyword performs in different countries. A keyword may perform better and produce more revenue on clicks and impressions in countries like America, Britain, Canada rather than India.

c. Backlink tracking and finding the type - whether it is dofollow or nofollow is another feature of this.

Pro Tip :- 

When finding stats about a keyword, you can also find several keyword ideas and long-tail keywords by scrolling down. This can be really helpful when your searched keyword is heavily competitive and you have no other choice to work on a keyword completely different from that.

2. Ubersuggest (SEO & Keywords)

An exciting and free keyword research tool is the perfect cup of tea for every new blogger. Developed by Neil Patel, Ubersuggest is one of the best keyword research tool that is available in the internet. 

Get most out of Ubersuggest :-

a. Same as of Ahrefs, type the keyword and bingo, complete details of that keyword is in front of your screen. You can filter out the region in which you want to see the performance of it.

b. The backlink checker is more prominent than that of the previous one. The complete details of of your backlinks, where they are present and how much traffic they are generating - you get to know all of these.

c. The three layers of SEO difficulty and Paid difficulty is coloured for your ease of understand. The number is ranged between 0-100 and difficulty is displayed with three colors 

V

Green - For least difficulty in the web.

Orange - For medium difficulty.

Red - For most search difficulty.

for a particular keyword, you can check which site which topping the Google search list. Then you can click on that site to  check where their backlinks are. That's a quite good trick because you can also try to generate a backlink for you from the same source where that site is getting.

3. Grammarly (Content)

Completely Different from the above two, Grammarly is a tool designed to optimize your On-Page content rather than working on your off-page linkings. It is quite shameful and embarrassing for you to have several misspelled words in your blog which really downgrades your impression to your readers and in most of cases, the writer tends to skip the part of revision. Grammarly does that work for you, it checks for all internal errors such as spelling mistakes, wrong choice of words, error in verb form etc.

Get Most out of Grammarly :-

a. Just copy and paste your article on their clipboard and it will bring out all the silly mistakes line-by-line and also suggests the ways to fix them.

b. Often, bloggers tend to just copy and paste lines from internet to increase the contents. Grammarly also provide th plagiarism checker tool and marks the lines in Red which you have directly pasted from web.

Pro Tip :- 

Now, this is not the perfect health check-up for your article or double-checking your work. After all it is  a machine that is checking, so you can't expect 100% efficiency.

I would still suggest you to go through the article thoroughly yourself alteast once before publishing it.
