Manager
|
 One
of the most common complaints of webmasters is that
maintaining a dynamic website takes too much time. You have
to format new content in HTML, modify all the pages that
have changed, and upload to the server. If multiple people
are trying to update a website, mistakes can happen that
waste your time.

Proposal Kit
|
First of all, this kit saved us
enough money (and time) the first time we used it to more
than pay for itself. We've never seen a faster payback
period! More important than that, however, is the fact
that our client presentations, budgeting for jobs and
project organization improved dramatically. It's been
a life saver!

| This search content
allows for excellent control over the advertising
content you display on your website. Here is
an example
of the effective use of Search Feed's tools. For
cost effective, targeted advertising, click the
image to the right. |

NetMechanic 
|
Are you turning people away?
Traffic is difficult and expensive to acquire - so don't
throw traffic away just because of errors on your web
pages. See what NetMechanic
can do for you for as little as $15!

|
Searchfeed
|
After trying just about every
pay-per-click search engine tool online, this is the one we both use and highly
recommend. The reasons are simple:
-
We can get
highly targeted traffic for as little as one penny a
click. If we're selling something like Garden
Flags, it's great to be number one when someone
searches for "Garden Flags for Valentine's
Day" and only have to pay one cent to get them to
your website. They probably want to buy a flag,
right?
-
The process
for sign-up is simple and only costs $25 to set up an
account.
-
Webmasters
- use the excellent integration tools from Searchfeed to
make money with your website. For an example of
how this works, look at the sponsored links on www.ShopInVirginia.com
and then sign-up
as a partner.

HitHiker.com
|
Some website
traffic building methods work, but others are a waste of
your time or money. HitHiker will help you learn
what's good, what works and what doesn't. The
"why" is a secret...
|
 7Search.com
|
Pay-per-click advertising can be
very effective, because it allows a business to conduct
highly targeted advertising campaigns and pay only when a
searcher actually visits the company website.

|
WordTracker
|
Every web page designer now knows the importance of keyword meta tags. But wouldn't it be nice to know the words searchers want as well as those your competitors do not use very often? We found a fantastic, inexpensive tool that will give you the best, most effective keywords you can put on your web pages! It's call Word Tracker and it will help you get the most "bang" for your keyword "bucks."

A
Little Wisdom
|
The most useful tool
of all we can pass on to other webmasters is that trying to
get everything for free or only downloading free trials is
part of a very poor business plan. If you pay others
for their hard work and expertise, establish good working
relationships with others in the field and play fair when it
comes to paying license fees, copyright fees and other
costs, your benefits will generally far outweigh your
costs.
We have gotten a
large amount of referral business from the people from who
we have purchased products and services. Playing fair
with both your customers and your vendors is not only a good
thing to do, it's also good business!
