Google Analytics
Until recently there were a wide range of companies offering site analysis with differing quality services, and a premium usually required for more in depth service. But then along came Google with “Google Analytics”. By simply adding a couple of lines of code to each page of your site you get incredibly detailed information about visitors to your site – what keywords they used, what pages they visited, how long they stayed on each page, geographical information (including a great map of the world with blobs for everywhere you’ve had visitors from) and absolutely loads more information.

Make Your Site Sell
When Make Your Site SELL! launched in 1999, it was instantly coined “The BIBLE of selling on the Net.” Unlike other Internet marketing books that have swept the Net since then and unlike the latest/greatest “hype of the day”, this one cost all of $17 and overdelivered at that remarkably low price. This philosophy (underprice and overdeliver) is the foundation of SiteSell.com and they’ve grown into a company that overdelivers business success through its flagship product, Site Build It!…
In 2002, MYSS! received a major overhaul and re-launched with 7 volumes stuffed with even more success-proven strategies – ideal for anyone wanting to join the 1% who know how to sell on the Net. The price? It went all the way up to… $29.95.
Whilst MYSS! remains a great read, full of useful, evergreen ideas and information, it hasn’t been updated since that date and now rather than publishing a new edition, they’ve decided to offer all 7 volumes completely free of charge. Get your copy from http://myss.sitesell.com/websuccessstory.html

Free Website Builder
Throughout the site I’ve frequently mentioned the benefits of creating your own website, either to publicise your own business or simply as a business in its own right. I know many of you have been put off by the idea that it is just too complicated or expensive, but I think I may have finally found the answer. The Newbie Club has produced “First Website Builder”. Newbie Club took a total beginner who had built her very first Website using FREE programs and graphics – and asked her to write a book about it. Then they added a further 3 books by world renowned Internet marketing experts Joe Robson, Tom Glander and Joe Barta and created the definitive guide for anyone wanting to build their first website.
In line with all the packages I’ve recommended in the past, this is another one worth way in excess of the asking price of $39.95 and comes with a no strings, no questions asked, 1 year money back guarantee.
UPDATE – This package has now been updated to include a 24 part HTML Course and such website building tools as a gizmo wizard which enables you to add special effects in just a few clicks, a mini site wizard for creating a no-frills mini site in minutes and a website encryption wizard which allows you to encrypt everything on your new Website to stop content thieves and spammers.
