Some tools I am using tight now

Here is a run down on some of the tools I am currently using. I use the tools for a variety of reasons including building backlinks, focused advertising, assessing my web presence, driving traffic to my site or communicating with and building an email list.

Building Backlinks
I have posted about this one before so I will be brief. SocialAdr.com is a great site for building web 2.0 backlinks. Web 2.0 sites are sites like Facebook, Twitter and Digg that google loves because they are big traffic sites. Links from these sites are seen as “better“ then links on less well known sites.
Focused Advertising

Here is another site I have written about before. IBOtoolbox.com and it`s sister site IBOSocial.com is a combination of a Facebook/Myspace blogging site and an internal site for network marketers. IBOSocial.com ranks very well with google and in fact, one of my article is #1 in an exact match phrase search and on page 4 otherwise for a search term I was targeting. In less than a week.  IBOtoolbox.com is a great place to advertise to like minded people. It works on a credit system and is free but you can purchase credits at a very reasonable price. As I write this my Banners are getting a 3% click thru rate and text ads 2%. This seems to be regardless of the opportunity, so I believe it is a good indication of what you could get on there. And since these people are already interested in Network marketing, they convert at a higher rate than other sites.

Autoresponder Service
The last one I am going to mention today is an autoresponder service. Currently I am using Trafficwave.net it is a service like Aweber and has all the same perks but as you can see from their pricing page they are much cheaper. Especially in the early days online, every penny counts so why waste money. They also have an advertising service that guarantees views but I have not used it so I can’t speak to its efficiency. You can read about it here.
In my next post on the subject I will talk about a traffic building website which will drive massive amounts of hits to your website and some great wordpress plugins and a few other online tools I use.
Hope this helps.
