Determining your ROI is quite important.  Unfortunately many webmasters or companies with websites are not effectively evaluating and maximizing their most cost efficient and profitable channels.  Who wouldn’t want to maximize their return if they could see a 50% jump in profits?  ROI’s are plenty important to any company..and surprisingly a majority of companies do not effectively analyze their stats.

Webmasters and Online Marketers can truly benefit in trying to effectively make their site more profitable by looking at their website(s) by tracking opportunities through each sale cycle.  Think about what you can do with information that allows you to see where you lost a customer or how to maximize on how things that work!

To see if you are interested in trying out such a valuable service, ROI Analytics is now offering a 15 day free trial.

Lets say you want to build a shopping comparables site, but need details on a specific store product (JCPenney, Target, etc.), pricing, and images – it all can be done quite easily with just a few clicks as demonstrated on Mozenda’s website (demo).  Anyone that has done a little data entry, can understand the pain involved in just collecting information.  This service does it much faster and proficiently, than the manual data entry option.  The data is collected easily through a few assigned clicks and it’s done!  Repeat the process for products that you need and the data is collected quite easily.  (I highly stress checking out their demo).

The service comes with a 14 day free trial and follows with a month-to-month service fee to use the program to not only store details on store items, but web content coding, run jobs on schedules and provide an easy for a newbie to even use to collect data need for important web projects.  Sounds like a good answer to what could be a complex issue for some!

The software has online support via a forum, which can always be nice since then there is community input if questions, bugs or other issues are found.  You’ll be able to connect with thousands of other web developers from newbies to experienced veterans in the field for assistance. This website builder is built to make building sites that much more easier – who can turn that down?

Not only catered to the wordpress user, there are WordPress themes AND joomla templates offered on the site for download.  Performing a quick search through their site shows the number of valuable themes available to users at no fee.  The variety of themes covers nature, real estate, shopping, women, tech, grunge, business and much more.  As a webmaster, you should find the perfect theme quite quickly or even download a couple to try out.

As a reminder to those new to WordPress, you must have a self-hosted site to use these themes.  To use the software for the blogging platform, you must download from WordPress.org.  After that, you’ll be amazed at the ease of learning how to use WordPress and installing the themes!

The most gut-wrenching thing to discover about affiliate links, is that your links may be vulnerable to those wanting to steal your affiliate marketing dollars.  Unfortunately, a little but big problem called “affiliate link hijacking’ is an issue and does exist, causing a loss in money to hard-working affiliate marketers.

Recommends.me has developed a technique to protect links and have added other benefits, such as:

• Wrapping links to make them more readable by Google
• Getting more Click Thru’s due to URL looking more friendly, thus boosting more clicks and sales

Once becoming a recommends.me member, their automated system only requires that you configure an affiliate URL to wrap and choose an appropriate name for the link.  Recommends.me is compatible with Windows, Mac or Linux.

Emoneybuzz also takes the initiative to list some quick money sites such as getting paid to read emails, ads and playing games for cash.  It will be interesting to see how things pan out for the site but with the growing number of bloggers, affiliate marketers and stay at home moms or dads looking to make some extra cash filling out surveys.  Keep an eye on this site!

Due to the increasingly popularity of Wordpress (Wordpress is outperforming Typepad nowadays), it’s not a surprise that there have been a great number of Wordpress Theme sites launching across the web, including many Premium Theme Galleries.  Check out Google Trends for Wordpress and you’ll see that the popularity trend is stable and is probably going to continue growing.

There are a great number of valid Wordpress theme galleries out there but there are also some “not-so-great” galleries or “old” and “outdated” themes still pulling up high in the good ‘ol Google Search (you know you’ve seen them).  Here’s a few places to start if you are looking for a great Wordpress Theme.  There’s the gallery hosted by Wordpress at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/, also wpsnap.com, freewordpressthemes.com and a newer site called new-wordpress-themes.net.

If you still can’t find your perfect wordpress theme on any of those sites, maybe think about investing into an unique wordpress theme.  I know a few places to start (one of them being: ewebscapes.com).  Depending on your budget, you can really play the field on getting the right theme for you.

LookupPage is an executive people “search engine” that allows you to setup a personal page including a personal photo and background. In a way, it does resemble sites like LinkedIn.com and Spock.com, although much simpler. While I would love to see a way to find related individuals (not just company related) to a personal page, I do see how it’s simplicity could work for many who need a “splash” page on the internet. The site works by signing up for the free website service and setting up your personal information. You are able to search the database of people without signing in…something I would recommend the site try doing instead to register even more users.

While the site is simple, Lookup Page gives a great opportunity for people to leverage their own public or internet personality/publicity/appearance and manage their reputation (very important!). The internet will not be going away….
