Comments:

This is the second time I have referred readers to Spy, the first being during the Mumbai massacre. Does it have anything to do with ranking your site? Not really. Does it have something to do with life on the “outside”?  Yes.  Use the pound sign to follow a specific subject and be continually updated. (#Iran).

Amazon (Magazines) Review 

What does this tool do:  Gives you profitable ideas for chosing a niche. 

Cost: Free

Who Needs It:  Do you want to be successful selling on the internet?

To make a profit on the web, you want to stand in the middle of where people are spending money. You do not want to forge a trail for your exclusive product by yourself. If you want to choose a niche for probable profits on the internet, you had best not waste time with niches that prove unprofitable. But how do you find a profitable niche where people put money where their interest is? Amazon spends mucho-money on data collection that you wouldn’t dream of. And they give out their results for free. If their magazines are selling, you know people are buying them. Pre-qualify your niche at Amazon/Magazines.

In one location at one time, you can find out the technical info (host, IP, Nameserver), traffic (rank, reach, page views, etc.), feeds, description, owner…the whole catastrophe.

YourMainDomain Review 

What does this tool do: Another Page Rank elevator…for a price. 

Cost: Pay for Play

Who Needs It:  Want to elevate your status in life?

Info Page:   http://yourmaindomain.com/

Comments:  

Buy an aged or PR 6 link here and check out the site before hand. $160 per (PR6) link. If it matches your product or message, all the better. But high PR itself…and an old domain…is worth the price of admission.

This is a site you should bookmark for revisiting frequently when you have a few moments to learn new applications. This site doesn’t leave you to learn the sites on your own. Rather it introduces you via short and concise video explanations. Talk about time being “The Currency of the Workplace” (its motto), this is a site that puts its money where its mouth is.

TextLinkBrokers Review 

What does this tool do: Brings you quality links…for a price. 

Cost:  Different Prices for Different Values of Links.

Who Needs It:  Do you want to compete with the big boys?

Comments:  

Get the text link ads from their ad inventory. You can see how they rank sites, and you can buy links on different quality sites. Explore and read at their site to learn more. But you must accept that quantity and quality of one-way links are worth cost and time-saving sacrifices. This is how you get there.

Market Samurai Review 

What does this tool do: Keeps you from wasting time by entering a too-competitive market.

Cost: It doesn’t matter what it is this week. Buy it.

Who Needs It:  E-commerce Marketers

Comments:  

You hit on the right page. This is probably the most valuable tool I own for choosing a competitive E-market. It will tell you the key phrases or key words that are highly searched plus show you those terms that have low competition. Then it will show you a graphic display of Google competitors to let you know if you should attack your area of interest. Such a time saver, lack of this software is what kept me away from the E-commerce market for years. I was not interested in doing the tedious analysis required of weighing good markets. I have never not listed a price before, with good reason. What ever it is, pay it and shut up. 14 day trial for free.
