      Post subject: Tools Every Blogger Should be Using

Reply with quote

I just wrote a new post on my blog (check out my signature) about the tools that I use regularly for affiliate marketing. These tools I have found to be the most productive, and believe me, I think I've just about tried them all. So I figured I'd share some of the info with you guys and see what you think of these tools.

1. Wordpress CMS installed on own server with unique domain. Number one for a reason.

2. All in One SEO plugin. It's free and makes seo tasks so much easier

3. KB robots.txt plugin. Automated robots.txt creator

4. Google Analytics. By far the best stat tracking software that I have used

5. Google Sitemap generator plugin. The name says it all.

6. OIO Publisher, is only $47 and is invaluable if you want to sell your own ad space

7. Smart DD Electronic delivery software. If you want to sell your own ebooks or software, then this is a must have.

For a more detailed list, and links to download each of these tools go to:

Let me know what you guys think, or if you have some that I haven't listed.

Askimet and Recaptcha are also great tools if you want to make sure you don't get a ton of spam.

Hello optimistvix,

All you have to do is go to Google Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ which is completely free. I suggest setting up a new Google Account for your business and managing all of your websites under that account.

This reminds me of Ben Stiller and Robert DeNiro in Meet the Fokers where they are discussing "Milking" and DiNiro's character says:

"I have nipples, can you milk me?"

What one thinks they have or have not done in the "Big Picture" isn't really relative.

There are so many Plug ins that are valuable to Affiliate Marketing, all depending on the Theme/Template and project.

And when you use a plug in you really need to take the time to read and understand what it does and how it works.

All in One SEO will automatically (by default) place noindex on your Categories and Archives. For smaller sites this may not be a good thing.

The spam blocking plug in I use frequently has a really neat feature that allows you to create contact information pages by just cutting a little snippet of code.

There is a very useful Category Organizing plug in that rearranges the categories from Alphabetical Order to Any order you like.

I use an Ebay plug in that allows me to easily configure stores with wordpress.

The functionality and flexibility of WordPress is amazing. So much so that I now use it for most of my projects. I gave up on HTML editors awhile back because they are so cumbersome compared to Open Source Scripts.

Kudos to Wordpress!

There is also a newly released Affiliate Template being marketed that makes creating professional looking landing pages a breeze! But it's too long a topic to discuss here and now.

This is a great thread. I am already using the majority of these tools.

My problem is that I am way too anal in how I post on my blog. I have got to get my content up. I stress out too much about the SEO instead of writing how I know I know how to write.

This post helped me keep things in perspective.

Great thread going on here!

You might not think of it as a tool but PLEASE consider a backup widget. I'm using WordPress Database Backup, by Austin Matzko, http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup.

And if you're looking to drive more traffic to your blog, activate CommentLuv and ask your community to do the same. CommentLuv is a tool that shows a link to the last post from the commentators blog by parsing the feed at their given URL when they leave a comment, thus rewarding your readers and encouraging more comments.
