What are the best free tools for Internet Marketing?

36 replies
Hi everyone.
I am making a list of the best free tools available and would like some input. I know there are so many free tools and services out there, but which ones have you used and think are actually worth using.
I use the google adwords tool all the time and think it is great. I have some paid tools also but found some free tools that work great.

Here are a few I like.
SpyPig
Pixelpipe
Pingfm
Ping-O-Matic

Thanks for any suggestions,
Dan

    there are more but that is what I can think of at 1 am
    That`s a pretty good list for 1am.
    I think I will try Rank Tracker, I read about it but never gave it a try yet.
    By the way, your WSO looks like a great buy.
    Thanks for your input.

      Don't take this the wrong way but I would spend a bit of time figuring things out and reading the terms of service of Adwords.

      Believe me, Adwords is a marvellous way to go broke if you don't know what you're doing.

    Make sure you use the All In One SEO plugin if you're running Wordpress. It's free and works well.

    Id have to say Google Keyword Tool I use it every day and its filled with all the information you need. On top of that would be Aweber to make sure my emails go out. I have not used Traffic Travis but picking it up right now to look it over.

      Great question Dan.

      I'm going to be a little controversial and suggest that Google Keyword Tool isn't nearly as good as it could be... And that there are two better free tools for Keyword Research:
      • WordTracker Keyword Tool or SEO Book's Keyword Tool
      Google has been proven to over-inflate the results it displays, WordTracker and SEO Book are more accurate.


      In terms of other free tools that I love:
      • Animoto (free version)
      • Wordpress (possibly my favourite tool EVER)
      • Jing (screen capture from TechSmith)
      • Pretty Links Plugin for Wordpress
      • All in One SEO Pack from Wordpress
      • FreeMind - Free mind-mapping software
      • Google! Seriously, great for market research, competitive research, the lot!
      Enjoy!

    Stumbleupon.

    I know that sounds odd, but there are two angles; as firstly, the site allows me to see so many different niches, and it allows me to specifically single out a niche.

    If I wanted, I could see a specific niche, and view all kinds of interesting marketing aspects or methods of delivery

    If I also wanted, I could single out the internet marketing, or simply business areas, and find tools or pages that offer or explain things I otherwise would never glimpse at, or know existed.

    Finally, people can post to stumbleupon, so it can also be a tool for exposure.

    I just like the idea of being able to "stumble" through a specific section, and see the many facets of it. It could be psychological related too, I love picking things apart...

    Pretty Link Lite.. Definitely need this if you plan on putting affiliate links across the internet.. Many IMs say not to hide your links from your viewers.. I don't really consider it hiding my affiliate links.. My site is iBlog4Dollars.. They know I make money.. LOL...

    I learned to cloak my links after one of my offers went bust and I needed to change the link.. I had to check every aweber email and then change links on my blog. It saves you a ton of time when you can go to one central location and change one link that transfers across multiple locations.

    It's also easier to remember yoursite.com/myoffer rather than theirsite.com/93aeadsoiaflksjdfdlajl9dk

    Catch my drift....

    I think this plugin is a must though for internet marketing.. It's funny that its the lite version and offers everything I need. I've never even though about upgrading. Don't need to..

    Source-forge is a site that has all sorts of free programs, scripts that cover all sorts of needs. It wouldn't surprise me if some stuff on the lists above is from source forge. Basically, I've found that if you really need something free, you can find it somewhere with a little bit of searching.

    As far as the two best, though - a combo of Open Office and Word Press provides most of what I need to get things done.

    There are so many good free resources out there. I think I have spent thousand over the years starting out, where I could of invested my money in other areas of my business.
    I appreciate all the great ideas!
    It will take some time to try these out, but I know I will find some gems.

    Thanks everyone.
