Essential SEO Tools & Resources

This has again been a busy week, and an exciting one …

I’ve kicked off yet another new project, and this one involves software creation. I’m no techie, so for the first time I’ve actually put a software spec together and have put it out for quotes on Rentacoder.com

I’ve had quite a few responses and a range of bids … will need to make a decision this week. In reality, it’s not as expensive as I’d envisaged it would, so I’m pleased, and one guy has actually sent me some screenshots of software he’s developed for me that looks great … and he hasn’t even bidded yet!

I plan to use the software to analyse potential niches and to find potential article titles that will pull in a lot of traffic … if it works like I think it should, I plan to use the results along with some other information on keywords and affiliate products as content for a new membership site … I think it has big potential … anyway more to follow on this in the coming weeks …

But what this exercise has brought home is that getting simple software scripts written is dirt cheap … I’d never considered it prior to this being a non techie … but now I’m considering the potential …

There are tons of shareware sites out there that you can upload software scripts to for free download … why would you want to do this?

Firstly, every site you upload your script to will give you a keyword targeted link back …

Secondly, you could build in to the script a sign up requirement on installation … this is a great way of building a list!

Now if it sounds like a lot of work uploading your script to lots of sites individually, think again. PromoSoft is an easy to use tool, which automates the process of promoting your scripts on the Internet. It can automatically submit your shareware/demo/freeware applications to more than 800 download sites and archives within minutes. That’s hundreds of inbound links in minutes … there is a shareware version and paid version … take a look here … http://www.develab.net/

If you need some script ideas, try looking through the projects at www.rentacoder.com for inspiration, or through some shareware sites. If you come up with a good script or piece of software, build the sign-up requirement into it and try and get it promoted on http://www.giveawayoftheday.com … you could have a massive list within 24 hours …

Using Rentacoder.com has certainly got me thinking about how a hundred bucks or two could get me tons or links or list members …

Anyway … keep a look out for my new membership site announcements …
