Website Tools

Here are some website and Internet tools that I have found very helpful:

Type in what you want and what style of text, colors - and the site processes it for you. Buttons, graphics, etc. Right click the image to save to your computer and use the image on your site or blog, etc. Lots of uses.
Copyscape is free at the basic level. You simply cut and paste the page urls from your site into their search field, and it helps you locate places where your text could be being used without your permission. If you find your content is being stolen, the site tells you what to do about it.

Want to make your Ebay listings stand out from the crowd? This site has a lot of tips and help with HTML code. You could also try Auctiva, which is a site that helps you make beautiful Ebay listings. An advantage of Auctiva is that you can store your listings and then 'release' them to post to Ebay at the same time without the extra fee for scheduling a listing that Ebay charges.

You guessed it! Another site to help you with HTML. I know I often need help to make an image a link or to make a link open in a new window. This site will help you figure all that out.

This site enables you to see what your competitors are using for keywords in their Adsense campaign and website(s). Helps you figure out your competition's marketing strategy. Free trial of the website's services. Keyword Spy is designed to help you get ahead in keyword advertising programs.

My Contact Form is currently about $30 for a year's membership. You can make as many contact forms for your site as you like for that fee. You can make a form for customers to contact you, or you can use their forms for a customer survey...many uses. Downside of it is that they do not have any visual verification to make sure that when the form is filled out, it's being filled out by a person - so there is often some spam that comes to me through my form. But a small price to pay for such a good deal and the form has always worked. It's very easy to modify for whatever you need, too!


Who knows how accurate all this stuff is, but it never hurts to look and learn more about Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

This is a very good virus scan and it is a trusted site. The first time I used it, I was very nervous about letting a website search my computer drives, but it is a good scanner. They offer the scan to promote their Trend Micro PC-Cillin computer software (which is also excellent)
It is sometimes difficult to get a template of colors that look good together for your website.
This site helps you try out different combinations to see what works well for you.
