What is the best free 'contact finder' tool?

[conor1005]

To simply speed up the process of sending thank-you emails to a number of blog that have linked to our site.

Or if you're dealing with a website that requires link-removal.

Buzzstream is good, it's not free but you do get a free 14 day trial: http://www.buzzstream.com/link-building/plans-pricing

Edlondon,

Thanks, I have had a look at buzz stream and although it does look good, we would not get enough use out of it to make it worth the price, which is why we were really looking for something that was free?

I don't know of a free one, to be honest.  But if you're just thanking a load of people that have linked to you, it's a one-shot thing right?  Or are you scraping for spam purposes after all?!

You could just write a post thanking the people that have linked to you on your social media.

I am sure they will appreciate more than any email you want to send them.

Yes it's a one-shot thing, but there are a lot of links that have accumulated over the last few months so will take some time is all.

Thanks for you're help anyway.

PremioOscar,

Thanks for the comment.

As simple as it sounds, you could well be right. If I can not find an intern student to do it manually, I will settle for social media.

Thanks again for all the comments.

In Buzzstream, you can get all of the links from the past few months uploaded via CSV straight away - the only problem would be if you had a tonne more over the next 14 days.

Good luck all the same.

Here you go with a excellent tool to collect contact info

http://tools.citationlabs.com/tools/contacts-finder/index.html

Its free for a few after which its cheap 10$ for 100 MB of queries. I tried this and could collect 1000 sites info in 10$

Try it before you buy it..
