Hi, and welcome to my little corner of the internet marketing world. This is my "tool box" page for those of you who are looking for the best internet marketing tools. My online bookstore carries a variety of internet marketing ebooks and software, but this is a special page for the tools I use myself on a daily basis, and most often recommend.

• Affiliate Marketing Training - Once you understand affiliate marketing, you will easily understand online marketing more generally. Affiliate marketing is a great way to start, because you can make money without having a product or service of your own. Once you learn the basics, you will know how to sell your own product or service, and train your own affiliates to do your marketing for you. The best affiliate training available will cost you practically nothing. You can't afford not to start here!

• Ad Tracking and Testing - If you run PPC ads, or do ezine, banner, or text advertising, you'll save a ton of money if you use ad tracking and link tracking. If you're not tracking your Pay Per Click campaigns, ezine advertising, and other paid advertising, then you're missing the boat. How do you know it is cost effective if you don't track and test it? The top choice in this area is either AdMinder or the newer service, Adwatcher.

• Advanced Marketing Tactics - No matter what level of success you THINK you have today, chances are your online business is under performing. Now an expert has put together the entire puzzle for you! You won't get fragmented PIECES - you'll get an entire system so you can see the big picture and blueprint it to your own business. This course will teach you the marketing strategies that can increase your profits dramatically.

• All-Inclusive Solution - This one is easy. It has a few quirks and limitations, but for the most part, SiteBuildIt is an invaluable resource. Not only do they teach you how to build a site, they teach you the right way, and how to make money with it!

• Affiliate Link Protection - You can go with an affiliate link cloaker, which many people do, but I've ended up buying three of them, and never being completely satisfied. Lately, I've become sold on this domain forwarding service that will mask and forward your affiliate link, your domain, or whatever you want, and the annual fee is less than what you'd pay for a decent piece of link cloaking software.

• Automated Websites It has never been easier to create a web site than with these fully automated tools. I give you three great choices, from a simple tool that leads you through the entire process, including search engine optimization and monetizing your web site, to a slick solution that many experienced webmasters are turning to for quick and easy web site creation. Check them out. I've used all three, and I love them.

• Autoresponders - You have a couple of choices here. If you want to run your own show from your own site, then AutoResponsePlus is the answer. For hosted autoresponders, there are really only two choices. Aweber is the choice of many top marketing pros, but GetResponse gives them a serious run for their money, and I've used it myself for over a year and been delighted. I also now offer autoresponder accounts through my own new online shopping cart and website automation service.

• Best Ebooks - This really depends what you're looking for. Visit my online bookstore that features a wide selection of internet marketing ebooks and software tools, arranged by author, subject, and category. If it's worth having, you'll find it there.

• Blogging and RSS Information - I have my own blogging guide, which I naturally think is the best. I wrote it intending it as a "beginner to expert guide", and include a membership site for updates. If you want to learn everything there is to know about RSS, check out what most people (myself included) consider the definitive guide to RSS

• Domain Registration - Hey, I'm biased on this one, since I recently started my own domain name registration service. The prices are right, and the control panel runs smoothly and quickly. Very inexpensive web site hosting is available, too, as is full-service hosting, e-commerce, and dedicated servers. I've also got shopping carts, SSL certificates, and lots of other goodies available.

• Email Marketing Course - There's only one horse in this race. It'll set you back a pretty penny, but you'll learn things that will help you recoup that cost many, many times over. Check out this top-notch email marketing training. For a more basic introduction, try my own ebook on targeted direct email marketing.

• Email Marketing Leads - For high quality leads and variety, plus a built-in MLM earning opportunity, I'd go with TrafficOasis. For rock bottom pricing, and large quantities, though it's my very own Nitro List Builder. I am able to sell opt-in email leads for less because of my buying power and quantity discounts.

• Key Word Research - Up to a point, you can do this for free at NicheBot, but I've found that WordTracker is much more comprehensive. I shied away from it for quite a while because of the expense, but it has more than repaid my subscription fees in increased productivity and sales from doorway pages alone. It's also invaluable for picking page names and key words when you're designing or modifying a site.

• Link Building - My favorite for standard reciprocal linking is Arelis. I like it because it semi-automates the whole process. There are several other good choices, however, which are listed at my online book and software store, under link building tools. If you're looking for a script to fully automate a link directory, and allow people to make their own submissions, I've had great success with Reciprocal Manager. It completely runs my blog directory. All I have to do is log in and approve or disapprove the submissions. It works just as well for a standard link directory on any website.

• Search Engine Tools - There are two top dogs in this category. I've found that my preference switches back and forth, depending upon who has most recently released a major update. You can't go wrong with either Web Position Gold or its close competitor, Internet Business Promoter. Both are exceptional tools which I consider indispensable. Personally, I think that SEO software is a "must have" for any serious webmaster. The "new kid on the block" in this niche is a killer product that I've only recently discovered myself. It's a companion to those mentioned above, rather than being a competitor, and I consider it "best in class". SEOelite automates your link-building and website optimization like no other product. Check it out!

• Shopping Carts - There are tons of options, but one impressed me so much that I have arranged to have my own version at www.BestBizCart.com It's easy to use, integrates seamlessly with your website, has tons of credit card processing options available, and lots more features, including such things as multiple sequential autoresponders and affiliate program management. Truly a complete online business management system.

• Website Hosting - Well, once again, I'm biased, because my own hosting company now offers first class website hosting and domain registration. Two other web site hosting providers do stand out for me, however. People constantly rave about Third Sphere. I've got several sites hosted there, and I've always been happy. The other provider that I like is a web site hosting provider that offers you a "carry forward" of unused bandwidth, which I believe is unique in the industry. If you operate several sites, you should think about hosting them at different service providers, preferably with different "C blocks" in the IP address. I host two or three sites in one place and then find the need for another hosting provider, as you may, too. I've recently put some sites at Host4profit and been very happy there, too. They give you tons of features, and several income opportunities.

Best Wishes for Your Success!
