2. Important Google Tools

 

Google Analytics

 

Usability: Intermediate

Google Analytics is a free tool provided by Google. It’s an excellent tool BUT some people get  “paralysis by analysis” meaning their online business progress stalls from over-analyzing their data when they haven’t generated much traffic.

However, once your site has generated a good amount of traffic, this is where Google Analytics gives valuable information.

It will track how many people visit your site, how long they stay, how many pages/posts they read and much more detailed information.

Just make sure you exclude your visits because every time you visit your website to make changes to a post or write something, it counts as another visitor and so your analysis results could be blown out of proportion.

For instance, if you’re new to internet and affiliate marketing, you most likely will end up making a lot of changes to your published content. You could easily come up with 100 visits, only to find they’re all yours.

Search Console

 

Usability: Easy-Intermediate

Search Console is another free tool from Google.

You start off by verifying you are the owner of your website. It’s how Google identifies you and builds site trust.

This tool helps you monitor and measure your site’s traffic and its performance. Along with it maintaining and ensuring your site is running smoothing,  it’ll check your indexing status and troubleshoot your site.

You simply cannot do without this tool.

3. Buttons

 

Da Button Factory

 

Usability: Easy

I absolutely adore this free tool because it’s simple and quick!

If you’re looking for a pretty call-to-action button, Da Button Factory is the one to use. Some examples are:

• Sign Up Now
• Free Trial!
• View the demo!
• Get Started Now
• Download

Enter anything you want, although I advise keeping the wording short and precise to get your urgency message out to your readers.

All you do is enter your text, select the font size and boldness, button size, shape and colours. Watch it build as you make your selections.

When you’re done, download it and embed into your website.

4. Website Optimization

 

Webapex

 

Usability: Easy

Webapex is a metatext analyzer tool which can help Google rank your site higher. This free SEO tool will check the length of your Meta Title and Meta Description.

To find this one, scroll down at the bottom in the footer area of Webapex’s site under Free SEO Tools.

I use this tool off and on. They also have a very helpful video on how to write your perfect Meta Title and Description.

Once you enter your Meta Title and Description, Webapex does an analysis on it and lets you know if they’re too long. They’ll also show you a snippet of the text so you can see how they look in search engines.

PS: Don’t forget to put your keyword in them.

Small SEO Tools

 

Usability: Easy

Small SEO Tools has a lot of great free tools for small online businesses and I think it’s worth your while to do some investigation here. Some of their other free tools are:

• Plagiarism Checker
• Article Rewriter
• Word Counter
• Grammar Checker
• Spell Checker
• And More

I tried their keyword rank checker a few time because a friend brought it to my attention and it’s ok. BUT that’s about it.  I already have access to a complete keyword research tool called Jaaxy Keyword and Niche Research Tool.

Just enter your domain name and keyword and it will display your rank position.

The other thing I like is you can download the results onto your Excel spreadsheet.

Think With Google Test My Site

 

Usability: Easy

More people are using their mobile phones to do their research and purchase products online.

If your site is slow loading on their mobile phones, you could be losing a lot of money and trust. Your visitors could go to your competitors.

Try Think With Google Test My Site by entering your domain and it will calculate the speed of your individual web pages.

You’ll see a screenshot of your page speed showing the rate as good, average, or slow.

The great part is they give you recommended fixes so you don’t have to spend hours figuring where to go. Your detailed results are sent to your email too.

TinyURL and Bitly

 

 

Usability: Easy

Having a long URL may not look very attractive to your visitors.

Not only that if they want to remember it and write it down having a short URL alias is more effective.

Social media like Twitter uses Bitly which is very similar to TinyURL.

Try them both and see which one you like.

Internet Marketing Ninjas On-Page Optimization Tool

 

Usability: Easy-Intermediate

You’ll want to use this free On-Page Optimization Tool to get an insightful analysis of your website URLs. This can help get your website ranking higher.

Dupli Checker

 

Usability: Easy

The Dupli Checker tool looks for plagiarism. It’s vitally important to always have original content to prevent legal issues and keep your credibility as an online business owner.

If you’re worried about plagiarizing, this tool will come in handy for you.

Simply copy and paste your content (maximum word limit is 1000 per search) in their content box and it will quickly do the check.

When the check is completed, it will give you the number of words used and other results.

Online Broken Link Checker

 

Usability: Easy

So you think you found a helpful article to read. You click into it and suddenly you see a 404 error. You can’t access the article.

Imagine if this happens to your visitors… you could lose income and most likely they will not come back to your online business.

Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo won’t like this either and you’ll lose your ranking. Seriously, this kind of visitor experience can ruin your reputation.

Do you need to find your broken URLs and clean them up immediately?

Online Broken Link Checker will check your websites by going thru your internal and external URL links.

Their free version has a 3,000-page limit and no limit on the number of hyperlinks in the checked pages/posts.

It will find all the dead links and give you a full report which will also reveal their location

Dead Link Checker

 

Usability: Easy

The Dead Link Checker tool is similar to the Online Broken Link Checker tool.

This tool crawls thru your website and looks for broken links.

It gives you the option of checking your entire website or input a single page or post URL from your site.

I will warn you that if you get your entire site checked, it will take a long time… close to an hour depending on the number of URLs the tool needs to check.

If you have multiple websites, you can run them here and get a full report sent to your email.

You can even have the checker run automatically too.

Simply enter your URL you want to be checked and how you want it checked (Multi or Auto).

Mobile-Friendly Test

 

Usability: Easy

Is your website mobile friendly? Use the Mobile-Friendly Test to try it out and see what your site’s load time is like and if it’s user-friendly.

More people are using their mobile phone to do their research and purchase products online.

If your website isn’t mobile friendly with fast load time and beautifully fitted website design and quality content,  you could potentially lose thousands of dollars.

All you need to do is enter your URL and get your results immediately.

TinyJPG

 

Usability: Easy

This TinyJPG tool is my favourite JPEG and PNG image file reducer.

Any JPEG or PNG images you download into TinyJPG will be analyzed to produce the best quality content image you can ever get. This will save a lot of storage on your site and make your load time even faster.

Simply drag and drop up to a maximum of 20 images as long as these images are 5 MB or less.

For example, if you look at my image below, I have a JPEG image that’s 1.4 MB original size, and running it thru this tool, the size is now 381.2 KB.

Imagine a reduction of 73% and still have the result of an absolutely beautiful and quality image. You can download them to your computer or save them to Dropbox.

Another thing you can do is edit them in Dropbox thru Pixlr X and do your free online editing there.

Optimizilla (Online Image Optimizer) 

 

Usability: Easy If you’re looking to help your site speed and still have the quality image look, you’ll want to try this Optimizilla tool.

It will help lower the size of your JPEG and PNG images. The cool part is you can load up to 20 images.

Once the image compression is completed, you can see the Original and the Compressed version. All you have to do is move the quality slider to adjust the compression and do your comparison.

For example, if you have a JPEG image that is 1.9M, that’s a big image file. You can quickly compress it down to 719K which is a 62% reduction and still have a quality image.

5. Create Designs for Social Media and Banners

 

Canva 

 

Usability: Easy

Want to create a beautiful and professional looking design for your post and put it on your Facebook, Instagram, and other social media?

They also have some prime templates for only $1 which I’ve purchased and they’re mine to keep.

Crello is an excellent tool for designing banners, and header images for your blog posts and social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
