You see No email found for this author, and the search costs nothing. Click Try Email Finder to search with the author's name and website instead.
What kinds of pages work?
Blog posts, news articles and guest posts all work. Tomba reads the page to find who wrote it. It works on most sites with a paywall, as long as the author's name is visible. If you get no result, see why Author Finder can't find an author.
Can I look up many articles at once?
Yes. Upload a list of article links to Bulk Author Finder. You can also work inside a spreadsheet with Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel.
