Book Marketing on a Shoestring Budget

Check out this list of 6 Free Online Marketing Tools and SEO we compiled for you.

Google Analytics (http://analytics.google.com/) - Who does not know about Google Analytics? Everyone does. I don't need to waste your time reading a large paragraph here. Google Analytics is simply a superb free analytics tool which can easily be integrated with your website in order to track or monitor lots of things. (Keywords, Search Engines, Referring Sites, Traffic sources etc.) One feature I like to look at is the bounce rate. It tells me how many people continue browsing my site once they find it and how many leave right away. But, there are many, many helpful statistics to dig into here!

Stat Counter (http://www.statcounter.com/) - A free reliable invisible web tracker, highly configurable and easy to use. Stat Counter is very popular for providing real-time detailed website statistics. One of the features I like is to click on "recent visitors." Then, I can see who recently visited my site, where they are from and how they got there in an instant. This is especially helpful to see if I'm getting traffic from guest blog posts, interviews, etc. And you can make it invisible so there won't be any ads on your website.

GoingUp (http://www.goingup.com) - Goingup is much easier to use compared to Google Analytics and they also have some free SEO tools. The Page Optimizer tool of Goingup is one of their most popular tools.

Piwik - (http://piwik.org/) - This is a Free and Open Source Web analytics tool. It is downloadable program and you can install it on your own server. They provide "real time reports" on website analytics. Definitely worth to try!

WebsiteGrader - (http://websitegrader.com/) It is a SEO report. Website Grader is being developed by Hubspot Inc. - prominent company in the field of online marketing. This free report will give you the overall picture of the status of your website.

WriteMaps (http://writemaps.com) - More online marketing tools? Create, edit and view sitemaps with this 100% free and web based tool. Once the sitemap is completed, you can export it in XML formats. You can use Google Sitemap (XML formats) and sitemaps are good for SEO purposes.
