Marbella SEO

If you’ve been in the Niche Marketing field for any length of time, then you’ve seen all the advertising landing pages telling you about some Internet Marketing software that will make you a million dollars in a week. Or some marketing b.s. like that.

I’ve been in Affiliate Marketing since 2001. In this time, I’ve used a lot of software. There were only a few that I would have paid money for. The truth of the matter is, you don’t need a lot of software to be a successful Internet Marketer. I make a lot of money using free software available to anyone.

Google’s free Webmaster tools are great and free to use. Here are four important tools that I use and are available to anyone thanks to Google.

The first free program I use is Google Trends. This is a web based service that Google developed for you to see what the hottest trends are. This web based service tracks what is being searched for today.You can go back over time to see what people were searching for on a particular day as well. One you use this service a few times, it won’t take you long at all to figure out how profitable this service can be for you.

Google’s Keyword Research Tool will help you to make cash online. Ever since Google has allowed us a peek into their search data, this tool has become popular with many marketers. The Keyword Tool shows you how many times someone has searched for specific keywords, competition for those keywords and how much those advertisers are willing to pay. I use this tool to zero in on profitable niches. This is very important for those of you wanting to make money with Adsense.

Google’s Webmaster’s Tool. This is an important tool for those of you with websites. This tool does several things. The two most important ones in my opinion are that it shows you the top keywords your website ranks for plus it will show you how many backlinks your site has and how many backlinks each page has. This will help you know which keywords or keyword phrases your site needs optimized for.

Google Analytics is another important Webmaster tool that you’ll find helpful in pulling serious user data from your website with. Unlike Google’s Webmaster Tool, Analytics digs down deep to show you detailed information about your website. The list of features and benefits of this program are too numerous to list here, but it’s easy to say that this free tool does what other tools costing hundreds of dollars can’t do. Analytics will tell you whether each visitor came from a website or search engine amoung other things. This information is critical when deciding on which keywords to optimize your website for or trying to decide which affiliate offers work and which ones don’t.

This goes to prove you don’t have to have large sums of money to be successful in Internet Marketing. Google has given us Webmasters free tools to keep track of our online efforts. You can take the money you save and outsource some of those boring chores of Internet Marketing that you hate to do, like writing articles!
