1. Intro
Haro is a free, anonymous survey tool that lets you ask people your questions and get their answers. It's free, so you can try it out on your own time, or with a survey partner.
When you create a survey, you can choose to have it sent to email addresses or phone numbers and even to phone numbers (if available).
To help reporters and journalists find the right information fast, we add specific keywords that they will likely look for in their searches. This means HARO always appears at the top of search results when they're typing in a search term like “harosoftware” or “haro-outreach.”
2. What is HARO?
HARO is short for Help a Reporter Out. It’s a free service that allows you to build links from your website or blog to individual reporters and then share them through social media, email, text and other formats…
While there are no hard numbers on how many people actually use HARO (if there are, I’m not aware of them), it’s clear that it has helped many people put their work out there in a way that makes sense for the reporter connecting with them. This is important as well: as more reporters have access to HARO links, they will be more likely to get your work in front of the right people and at the right time.
3. How to Use HARO Effectively
HARO is a tool for contacting and re-calling reporters (and other types of journalists) to help with their stories. It’s an extremely effective way to generate a lot of press coverage for your product, and has become ubiquitous in the media environment in recent years.
However, it’s not as easy as it sounds: in fact, you’re going to want to read my full review on HARO here , where I discuss the topic of how you should approach this process, how you should choose your targets, and how you should interact with them.
This post is not about how to use HARO effectively; rather it is a “how-to-do-it” guide that will help you learn how to use HARO effectively so that your product can build up a network of journalists who will write positive stories about it — and more importantly, who can then write useful content.You don’t need any special skills or experience; this is just a guide on using HARO effectively.

4. Finding Your Best Leads Using HARO
I’ve been using HARO since the days it was launched, and I’ve never really understood what it is. I have to admit, though, that there are a number of times when I’ve been able to find leads for my clients — and it had nothing to do with their website or the relevance of their product.
HARO is a tool from the Help a Reporter Out (HARO) project at Columbia University. The idea goes like this: “Help a Reporter Out (HARO) is part of an ongoing research project at Columbia University’s Mailing Lab on how stakeholders can improve reporting on media. As part of this research project, we are collecting stories about media coverage and help reporters identify sources of new information about their topics of interest. We would like you to tell us your stories! We will then use this information to develop new tools that journalists can use in reporting on topics they care about.
5. Conclusion
If you want to help a reporter out, do it on HARO.
HARO is the short version of “high-quality backlink”. Backlinks are an important aspect of your SEO efforts, as they are one of the most powerful tools for ranking in Google. However when you get a page that does not have high quality backlinks and many other links pointing to it (so called “low quality backlinks”), it is very hard for Google to find you. This is because Google places a lot of importance on sites with high-quality backlinks (the “Google PageRank” algorithm) and even more importance on sites that have lots of high quality backlinks (the “PageRank” algorithm).
High-quality backlinks are usually earned by sites that are part of large, established communities, or sites that have been featured on major news outlets like CNN or Forbes. If you can get a link from these sources, you can increase your chances at high-quality backlinks being counted by Google. You can also link to your site from other prominent websites like Mashable or TechCrunch. These recommendations should be used when doing short term SEO work to establish links with the best websites in your niche, so as to earn them faster.
If you want to help people who need information on your product or service but don’t know how to reach you, such as journalists and bloggers, try out HARO and search for:?help a reporter
This will give you many options for helping reporters who need information about your product or service but don’t know how to reach out directly – emailing them directly with helpful links from HARO is one way; and leave them a comment at their website or blog post asking them if they would be interested in writing something about your product/service; this will also help them if they decide they want to write something about it anyway later. Or if they already have an article already written on their site (which we sometimes do), this will allow them the opportunity to submit a new one which will boost their chances of getting high-quality backlinks which might otherwise be difficult for them.
