Hi

I bet there are thousands of 'handy web tools' out there that we might use on a regular basis and just for granted, assuming that everybody else knows about them too.

This could be a useful thread. To kick it off, here is a tool that I use and absolutely love:

Print What You Like dot com: This is free tool lets you select just what you want to print and gets rid of what you don't. It is easy to use and gets rid of ads, unwanted banners, illustrations etc. It saves me a fortune in ink!!

Most of you probably use it already, but I'm sure that somebody somewhere will find it useful.

Let me know if you have any equally useful tools that you like to use.

Thanks

Bill

Nice one Bill!

I use loads of tools ... but the thing that has really save me lots of time is google reader. I just put all my fave niches in different folders and I can quickly check what is happening. I like it a lot better than google alerts for keeping up to date with what is happening in my areas of interest.

Niche Newsflash Blog Archive Lots of useful tools

I'm too lazy to cut and paste each one in here individually, but here is a list of free useful tools that I posted on my blog. Only exception is that I have Peter Drew's Brute Force SEO on there which is not free - not an affiliate link, it's just something that totally rocks.

Sorry to post twice but I've thought of another freebie that people may find useful - everprofitstoolbar. Use it with internet explorer among other things for keyword research and adwords bids but what I like to use it for is the content function. Type in a keyword click content and it brings back an article for you. It has a rewriting facility where you can change the percentage to ie 50% you can use that or just rewrite the research or nip over to gist.com and have it summarise the page for you which will make a nice blog post.

Also now instead of using simple passwords or the same passwords over and over because they are easy to remember, roboform will generate high security passwords for you if you want so you can have a different secure password for each site.free and paid versions

  Thanks for the great tips. You have helped me find some really useful resources.
  
  In addition, I have just been playing around with the Xheader program which was given free by the guys who make xsitepro and it is phenomenal. I have create 2 very professional headers with transparent photographs, glowing text etc.
  
  They look like I paid a fortune for them. I'm delighted.

We all get paid in different currencies for various affiliate ventures. US dollars, British Pounds, ect. An online tool that I find really helpful is FXConverter: Currency Converter for 164 Currencies

This tool makes it easy to quickly see exactly how much each offer pays per sale in your $. It updates every day to the current exchange rates for 164 currencies, just enter your amount and convert.

The google page rank checker has two handy features:

1) A backward links checker that show backlinks of page rank 3 or higher

2) Cached snapshot of the page you are on. If you searched using a keyword to get to that page, it will show that keyword in bold capitals.

You can use this info to reverse engineer your site to out rank your competitors website.

Other handy tools:

google webmaster central combined with google analytics can give you valuable information about your website.

  I just stumbled onto SortMyList.com which has a lot of extremely ways to manipulate lists (way beyond basic sorting).
  
  If you want functionality not offered, you can send a request for them to add it.
  
  I also seem to use these tools a lot:
  
  Random.org
  DomainTools.com
  Robtex.com
  
  Thanks
