Best Online Marketing Tools

Best Online Marketing Tools

For me the best online marketeting tools are not always the most expensive and indeed they are not always the most popular. I’m more interested in software that achieves exactly what it claims on the sales page, and finding software like that is not as easy as you may think. I have developed a simple strategy that will sort out the best online marketing tools from the junk that is simply designed to relieve you of your cash.

Here’s how my simple strategy works.. Look closely at any software advertised on the Internet and decide exactly what it promises to achieve. For example, It may be claiming to bring you boat loads of traffic to your website or favorite affiliate program, or maybe it is promising you thousands of back-links to your web pages in a short space of time. Well, either way I will, as a rule of thumb, make a search at Alexa.com and research the traffic figures for that ‘best online marketing tools’ domain, and if it is claiming to bring you lots of traffic, I’m sure the product’s own domain will be showing good traffic figures. Likewise, a software sales page promising thousands of one way links to your web pages should be showing masses of links back to their own domain.

It’s a simple check but you will be surprized at how many of the so called best online marketing tools do not meet that criteria. Of course you need to keep in mind that just because a product does pass my simple test, that does not mean that the software will achieve results. One thing you can count on though, is that if the software doesn’t meet my criteria, you can bet your life that this software will not get the results it claims. This system merely provides you with a short-list of best online marketing tools software applications, which surprizingly, in my experience has been around just less than 25% of products researched.

Another quick piece of useful research can be carried out at The Internet Archive WayBack Machine which you will find at web.archive.org, where you will be able to check on previous versions of the best online marketing tools homepages. For example, if the price of the product has been dropped since it was first introduced, that is a good sign that the product is not selling. Let’s face it, they wouldn’t drop the price if it was genuinely amongst the best Internet marketing tools.

So it pays to carry out a little research on any of the best online marketing tools before you commit yourself to the shopping cart. Although you can never be 100% sure what any software application will achieve (or not), with just a little research you can at least identify those products that are unlikely to figure amongst the best online marketing tools.
