Online Business

 by: Ryan Blake

Just imagine what you could do with one extra hour a day, you could spend it playing with your son or doing research on your next project

What I’ve compiled are my all time favorite websites that I’m sure will save you lots of time, which you can spend doing more important things.

Here we go in no apparent order.

1. Http://www.linkcounter.com

LinkCounter is a free service that tracks clicks on any link you want to track, from inside, outside, or within your site itself. It's a great way to track affiliate programs and link exchanges, or to create referring links for sites you trade traffic with. They provide you with an unbiased report that you can use to keep track of your outgoing and incoming hits.

2. http://www.score.org

S.C.O.R.E stands for the Service Corps of Retired Executives, and they pride themselves on being the Counselors to Americas Small Business. In effect, S.C.O.R.E. is a non-profit group that offers FREE counseling to anyone who has, or is thinking about starting, a small business. I've utilized their trained counselors on numerous occasions, and have been grateful every time.

3. http://www.trafficology.com

This is easily my new favorite newsletter. Trafficology's creator, Wayne Yeager, gives away literally THOUSANDS of dollars each month for new and creative traffic generating ideas. He then turns around and gives these ideas to his subscribers for FREE. I've been receiving the newsletter for a few months now, and I have yet to be disappointed. While some of the ideas are WAY too crazy for me to EVER try, the newsletter is *always* entertaining, and often useful.

4. http://www.coachmaria.com/articles/articlebanks.html

While I can't speak for Maria's consulting abilities (I've just never met her or heard anything about her), I can say that this is one of the best compilations I've seen of places to submit NEW articles. Some business owners have achieved maximum exposure by utilizing these free article submission sites. Hey it's worth a shot right?

5. http://www.PayPerClickAnalyst.com

Pay per clicks are a great way to bring targeted traffic to your site, because you only pay when someone actually visits your site. It's a great idea, but now it's been copied so many times that it's impossible to keep up with which ones are worth getting listed in, and which ones you should avoid.

That's what makes Pay Per Click Analyst such a useful site. They keep tabs on all the new PPCs and tell you which ones are the best. If you're serious about marketing your online business, then this is one website that you need to have bookmarked.

6. http://www.freemarketingvideos.com

Every week this site puts up a new video that covers some aspect of web marketing. So far they've covered how to make and ebook, how to setup autoresponders, and how to make digital product covers for your products. And when you consider it's all free, it's definitely worth a bookmark in my book.

7. http://www.EzineAdAuction.com

Ezine advertising is one of the cheapest and quickest ways to get the word out about a product or service. This site allows you to bid for ultra-cheap ad rates in a wide assortment of newsletters. If you're serious about marketing online, then this site is one that you need to have bookmarked.

8. http://www.freshdevices.com

Here's another site with some nifty utilities for you PC users out there. (Sorry Mac users.) They offer free utilities that help you optimize and diagnose your own system. If your computer seems to be getting slower over time, their products may be worth trying.

9. Top Marketing Forums

Warrior Forum: --> http://www.WarriorForum.com/forum Entrepreneurial Success Forum: --> http://www.ablake.net/forum

Between the Warrior Forum and Tony Blake's Entrepreneurial Success Forum, you should be able to get just about any question regarding internet marketing answered. These forums are "must have" resources and should be in any online marketers "Favorites" list (or Bookmarks for you 'Netscapers' out there). :-)

I really hope you’ve enjoyed my Article and use that extra time wisely.
