13. May, 2009 View Comments

BuzzStream announced the public availability of BuzzStream for Link Building, the first link building relationship management platform for search engine optimization. The on-demand service not only helps users manage large link building projects, but also eliminates many of the most mundane and repetitive tasks in link building.

“I’ve seen lots of SEO tools, but BuzzStream strikes a great balance between automating work and preserving the human touch,” said Eric Ward, CEO of Etilogic and an Advisor to the Company. “I’ve been waiting for an app like this for fifteen years.”

BuzzStream has some really incredible features, including:

BuzzMarker Bookmarklet – automatically and instantly finds, retrieves and stores website details
A built-in CRM to manage your link partners
BCC of emails to link to your partner record in the CRM
Twitter integration
Backlink checking

Unlike a traditional CRM (customer relationship management) system, BuzzStream for Link Building stores and automatically updates details about link prospects that are unique to link building such as authority metrics, outbound link count, domain age, and more. Where a traditional CRM system helps sales teams convert opportunities into sales, BuzzStream helps link builders convert link prospects into quality relationships and links.

“What I love about BuzzStream is that it helps us stay organized and save time on the data collection and ongoing management side of link prospecting. It also more easily enables sharing of information and participation in link development for our globally-distributed, cross-functional team. Overall, the elimination of a lot of manual work has made us more effective and reintroduced some fun into the link building process,” said Jeff Smith, Director of US SEO for HomeAway.com.

BuzzStream is a free service, with premium account pricing based on usage.
