I've had decent traction with http://www.ranksignals.com http://www.ranksignals.com over the past year with SEO, Content Marketing and Email marketing. My app is a SEO tool to explore backlinks of competitors. There is also a SEO Chrome extension ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-seo-pagerank-backli/mimhmidgldhoghjoehfigallmmndjkef https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-seo-pagerank... )which drives returning visitors to the website.

I just tried it and it's a very cool app. Are you going to monetize it in any way? I read a lot on this topic (SEO) at the moment but never heard about your spp. So you probably should reach out to top SEO blogs and post on forums. I'm sure they will be thrilled :)

  Glad you liked it. I am building more SEO tools to sell with a freemium SaaS model. The existing tools will remain free. I have reached out to many blogs, some has written about us but many haven't. The SEO community is also spreading the word about RankSignals on SEO & webmaster forums.

I've been looking for something like this, awesome to see it. That's the issue with marketing, there is a subset of users that are looking for your product, or know they have some sort of problem that needs solving. How you get to specifically them is the tough part. I bet there are a lot of other up and coming products that just get drowned out/fail to get traction, yet these are the ones that are really trying to innovate.

  Long tail SEO and content marketing is an effective way to reach niche audience. Additionally, we've got a lot of users from niche forums. Moreover, this is the kind of traffic that converts best. I have been able to get very good traction with it, and my app has not been featured on any main stream tech blogs yet.
