I Cannot Operate Without These Web Tools So I Strongly Recommend You Have A Look At Them All

If you operate a web site and market via the internet, you may welcome a little help to make your life easier. That's just what I'm showing you on this web page, my top five web tools.

Back to Basics

There's a seemingly endless list of items you should be aware of as part of your online business:

• your website statistics



• your passwords



• your keywords and key phrases for search engine optimization



• your site architecture (what files are on the site and in what order)



• your requirements for email forwarding and setup



• endless other techie-stuff

What Follows Is A List Of Good Stuff And It Is In My Personal Order Of Preference

And let me make one thing clear here...

... I only recommend things I personally use and am using either daily or almost daily

I am sick and tired of being told to buy something by so-called experts who haven't even used it themselves.

So, lets go. And to show you how helful these are, two of them are Free!

1.   Insiders Secrets To Marketing On The Web

If you only ever buy one book, buy this one, written by the late Corey Rudl, one of the absolute geniuses of internet marketing. It's a real book, not a 12 page waffle-padded e-book, comprising two large binders packed with information on every aspect of owning and marketing a web site.

I would bet that virtually every single 'internet guru' has a copy. I use mine daily and refer to it like a Bible of internet marketing

Guarantee  - The best I've seen! One-Year 100% money-back PLUS $200.00 extra plus keep all the bonuses

2.   RoboForm

The most common thing I use daily. It records all your passwords securely and is 3,000,000% (my rough estimate :-) ) more efficient than relying on any manual entries. Remember that you have passwords for your web site, control panel, ISP, email, bank, other banks, credit card statement, Amazon, Ebay, Hotmail, Paypal, shopping sites, and much more.

As of writing this, I have 267 passwords in it, all protected by a master password (RoboForm has never been hacked or broken into, anywhere) and, once you start using the internet, you'll soon catch up. How would I be able to manage from lists?

Cost  - FREE (or a one-off $29.00 or £18.00 for the pro version that I use) - instant download

Guarantee  -  It's free so they don't need one! But 11 million downloads have been made. The Pro version has a 30-day Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee

3.   MailWasher

As soon as your new web site goes live, internet 'robots' will be harvesting every email address they can find on it. That means more spam in your inbox.

MailWasher diverts all your emails through its own servers and allows you to 'see' all your mail before you physically download it to your computer.

You add bad mail to your 'blacklist', and MailWasher automatically selects it, ready for deletion. MailWasher also has a master spam list to catch the most persistent and universal offenders. You'll save time and frustration with MailWasher; the program saves the Planet Web team hours every week.

Cost  - FREE (or a one-off $29.00 or £18.00 for the pro version that I use with the free B9) - instant download

Guarantee  - 7 million downloads and it's free so none needed. Pro version gets 30-day free trial

4.   Insider Secrets To Email Marketing

Your invaluable guide to:

• How to avoid spamming



• Complying with the CAN-SPAM Act



• How to sell a pile of your products or services by keeping in touch by email

From the same stable as the 'Insider's Secrets to Marketing on the Web', 'The Insider Secrets To Email Marketing' is like a bible of email marketing strategies. Packed with examples galore, this excellent value e-book has an astounding 390 pages of invaluable information.

Just the selection of subject lines alone is worth the cost. If your subject line doesn't appeal, you get deleted, just like you view your own emails in your own inbox.

Cost  - $ 97.00 or £60.00 - instant download

Guarantee  - 90-day money back guarantee plus keep all the free extra bonuses

5.   WordTracker

To build an effective web site, you must start with key word research. Even your website domain name should only be chosen after keyword research.

Wordtracker has a database of exact search terms entered by real people searching the internet all over the world. Their data draws on real searches made in the last 60 days, so it is always up to date. After all, it is no use building a site for terms no-one searches for.

Any internet marketing or web design company/person that does not subscribe to this should be taken out back and shot.

Cost  - £140.00 - annual subscription - I have this as I use it every day

£14.00 - weekly subscription

£4.20 - daily subscription - you can research a whole web site in three or four hours

Guarantee  - 30-day money back guarantee. If you're unsure, try it for just a day or a week but this is the world's favourite keyword tool

Bonus feature - have a look at Dr Andy Williams' KRA WT version first (there's a link there to some useful tips) then go and download his FREE WordTracker manual as it shows you how to make the most from WordTracker

This Is A Bit Sneaky Because This Is A Sixth Must-Have And I Said There Would Only Be Five!

I have added this as a bonus because it is brilliant. Without some form of search engine optimisation after launching your web site, it will die a slow death as no-one will see it.

6.   Web CEO

Naturally, you are recommended to use one of my search engine optimization services but, if you are determined on DIY, this is the next closest thing to an expert hands-on service. And you will quickly learn how SEO works and you WILL see results.

Of all the top three SEO software packages (all costing roughly the same) I would describe this as the absolute Mutt's Nuts!
