Here’s a summary of the tools I’ve used or am currently using:
Autoresponders
- AWeber – In terms of sequential autoresponders, I’ve never used any other, but when something comes so highly recommended by so many others and when it does everything that I need at a price that’s right I don’t need to try anything else!
Article Submission
- iSnare – Paid article distribution service.
Automated Content
- RSS2Page – This PHP/MySQL script gradually builds a static website using any RSS feeds you specify. Great value, great support and well maintained by the developer, Thomaz.
- RSS Submit – If you offer a RSS feed then RSS Submit can help you by submitting your feed into dozens of the best RSS search engines.
AdSense
- AdSense Gold – Comprehensive tracking server-side software producing in-depth AdSense statistical data about visitors, their clicks and the advertisers. Still testing.
Affiliate Tools
- Affiliate Link Tracker – Protects affiliate links from would-be commission hijackers and then some.
Shopping System
- JV Manager – Used to manage the sales and delivery of some of my cyber-products
Search Engine Marketing
- Submit Now! – Automated directory submitter to over 260 SEO friendly directories. I’m very quickly beginning to fall in love with this fantastic little script! It’s saved me so much time and made submitting websites to directories (that offer search engine friendly links for free) a total breeze. Another great thing about it is that the creator just keeps adding new directories that are listed in a respected SEO’s list of directories.
- WebCEO – As far as search engine performance tools go, WebCEO is the most comprehensive I’ve come across. If you’ve used the likes of SEOElite then you’ll know just how useful these kinds of tools can be. WebCEO is a serious tool for any search engine marketer and gets a big thumbs up from me.
- SEO Book – If you’re new to search engine optimisation then this ebook is for you. From the ground up, it covers every aspect of SEO that I can think of and explains things in detail, with lots of examples. The author is an accomplished SEO and is always up-to-date with the latest trends in the search engine world. This title is updated often so it stays current and updates are free.
Site Maintenance
- WordPress – The software that powers this blog! See my plugin list for some really nifty plugins for you to try.
