Here are 42 free web tools guaranteed to make your web life easier.
1) Icebrrg
Need a feedback form? Survey? Registration form? Head on over to Icebrrg.com and get one for free.
No technical expertise needed. They will even store your information in a database and allow you to export the info to Excel.
You can create up to 3 forms for free.
2) Picnik
Rotate, crop, re-size images and photos right from your browser. A much easier alternative than GIMP, in my opinion. (Thanks for the suggestion, Lisa)
3) Image-Maps.com
Need to turn parts of your image into clickable links? Image-Maps.com will take on the task for free. All you do is upload your image, complete a few fields, get your code and you’re ready to go.
I just used this site to image map my new YouTube channel banner.
Note: I don’t usually endorse Internet Explorer, but I had trouble using this tool in Firefox, so this is one of the few times I will recommend using Internet Explorer instead.
4) SXC – Free Stock Photography
Looking for some royalty free photograhy? SXC has a nice selection, especially for a free site.
5) 123-Banners.com
This site has been around forever! I remember stumbling upon it as a web newbie over 11 years ago. It’s still going strong and now allows you to create Flash and sound banners.
Normally free banner creation sites are pretty cheesy, but their templates aren’t bad for a free site.
6) HTML Basix Javascript Banner Rotator
Everyone always asks me about my rotating/refreshing banner script at the top of my blog. I used to use Magic Image, but I recently switched to HTML Basix’s script because it doesn’t require an external file.
I like these kinds of banner rotation scripts because the banners change without needing to refresh the page.
Note: I wish I could find one like this that shuffles the banner order. Please comment if you know of one or how to tweak the code.
7) Free Hand-Written Fonts
I’m somewhat of a font junky. I like to use different fonts for images I create in Photoshop. This blog has a good list of hand-drawn fonts you can download.
Just download the fonts you want and go to the Fonts section in your PC’s Control Panel to install.
8) My Live Signature
Use this tool to create a graphical version of your signature you can use on your site or any electronic document. (Thanks, Elaine)
9) e-Book Cover Templates for PhotoShop
If you own Photoshop, you can use these Actions to generate e-covers for your e-books, software or any other digital goods. All you do is load the Actions (templates) into your PC’s Photoshop directory and they’re ready for use!
I used these Actions to create the cover for my free e-book, ThePerfectSiteGuide.com. As a matter of fact, I use them for all my e-books.
10) Firefox
I joked about a Firefox mandate on Twitter a while back, but it really would be nice.
While later versions of IE are much better at handling CSS, nothing compares to the speedy, safe Firefox browser with all the cool add-ons.
If you are a webmaster or blogger still using IE, shame on you. ;)
P.S. Google Chrome is great too. If it ever supports an add-on feature like Firefox, it will be a close rival.
11) FireFTP
A very handy Firefox browser add-on.
I love being able to FTP files to my host without having to shut down my browser and open another application. FireFTP works right inside Firefox and simply opens a new tab.
12) FileZilla
If you don’t use Firefox or don’t like FireFTP, FileZilla is another great FTP option.
13) BrowserShots.org
Just because your site looks fabulous in Firefox 3.0, don’t assume it looks so hot in other browsers. This site will give you a preview of your site in virtually every relevant/current browser and multiple versions.
14) IETab
Want a quick preview of how your site will look in Internet Explorer without having to fire up the browser? Install this Firefox add-on and all you have to do is right-click your mouse on the page and select IETab.
15) Twitterfeed
Manually announcing your blog posts on Twitter is sooooo 2006. ;) Let Twitterfeed automate the process for you.
16) OpenOffice.org
An open-source software suite for spreadsheets, word processing, presentations, databases and more. Hard to believe that it’s really free… but it is!
17) Toodledo
Organize your day, keep track of deadlines, set goals and be more productive. That’s what this free app will help you do.
It’s even fun to say…. Toodle-lee-doo. ;) There’s also an iPhone app. (Thanks for mentioning this one, @retireat21.)
18) DropBox
This is a great tool for synching, saving, backing up and sharing files online. What a handy site. (Thanks @Oceanlugano!)
19) Instapaper
Save web pages to your computer or phone for later reading. Works for iPhone and iPod Touch too. (Thanks for the recommendation, @TamiaS)
20) SearchStatus
There are many tools that report a site’s PageRank, Alexa Rank, backlinks, etc. But this plug-in also tells you whether or not a site is using no-follow or do-follow links. (So does SEOQuake.)
Nofollow means a link from that site will not transfer any PageRank to your site. So Google ignores it as a potential backlink to your website. Many blogs use no-follow in the comments area.
I don’t obsess much over dofollow or nofollow links/sites, but I know it’s important to a lot of you. I still believe that if you spend more time focusing on writing quality content, you will eventually get enough quality dofollow links that count.
21) Google AdWords Keyword Tool
Numerous keyword tools have surfaced over the years, but this is still my favorite. Anytime I want to check keyword search demand, I come here.
22) Joomla & Drupal
Want an interactive site but don’t want to learn how to program or hire anyone? These two content management systems lead the pack in their category. You can usually install them on your domains for free through your web host control panel.
23) Ning
Setup your own social networking site in seconds. No fuss, hassle or programming involved. Just understand this script is remotely hosted, meaning your site sits on Ning.com’s servers. (Always somewhat of a risk when you use a 3rd party to host your content.)
You can still buy a domain name and redirect it to your Ning site for branding and to make your site’s web address more concise and easy to remember.
24) Elgg
The self-proclaimed “leading social engine.” Unlike Ning, you can install this social networking script on your own domain and have much more control over the design and customization. Yes, it’s open source.
25) Kompozer
A free, WYSIWYG HTML editor for creating web pages. I know a lot of people that use it and love it. Just be warned, it can do some odd things with your CSS files so make sure you read the documentation.
26) HTMLDog.com
This is the place to go for learning about HTML and CSS. Start here.
27) FireBug
Another nice Firefox add-on. It allows you to edit any site’s CSS code right from your browser. It’s a great way to test updates/changes before going live.
This plug-in is also great for figuring out how other sites use CSS to develop cool layouts and designs.
Note: Of course, you cannot actually edit anyone’s site. The changes will only be seen on your browser.
28) FreeCSSTemplates.org
Quality CSS templates you can download and use for your site’s design. They also do a great job of adding new templates on a regular basis.
29) ColorZilla
Yet another handy Firefox add-on that allows you to retrieve the HTML hex color code, by simply pointing the eyedropper tool to any place on your browser.
30) Hex Color Scheme Generator
This handy, little tool has made this page one of the most popular pages on my site. Not only can you get the hex color code from the color wheel, but you can generate a color scheme for your site as well.
31) Google Analytics
This is without a doubt the best and most comprehensive stat package on the web. I love that you can integrate stats from AdSense, your shopping cart, AdWords, Google Custom Search and more right into the reports to get a complete picture of how your site is doing in multiple areas.
32) Google Reader
This online content aggregator continuously scans your favorite sites and blogs for new content and feeds it to you so you never miss an update. (Can’t believe I forgot about this one. Thanks for the reminder, @socialarts!)
It also looks great on the iPhone and many other smart phones.
33) Google Voice
Get your own Google number and forward it to any number.
You can also choose where calls are forwarded based on who’s calling. You can even listen in before taking a call or direct chosen calls to voicemail automatically.
34) Google Custom Search
Need an internal search engine for your site? Installation is easy. Just copy and paste a few lines of code and you’re ready to go.
And if you’re an AdSense member, you can also make money when users click the contextual ads that appear next to the search results.
You can even opt to show the results on your own site so your visitors never have to leave your domain.
35) WordPress Theme Generator
Create your own custom WordPress theme with this free generator. No HTML, CSS or PHP knowledge needed.
Of course, if you’re not familiar with CSS, that means you will be limited when it comes to your design. However, using this tool may encourage you to learn more about CSS and blog design. (Thanks for the link, @KenmonPittman.)
36) WordPress Database Backup
A must-have plug-in for WordPress users that will automatically back-up your blog’s database using the time interval you specify. I have it setup to send a backup file to my e-mail once/week.
People often backup their posts, but neglect to backup their databases — which is equally important. (Thanks, Paul from TechnicallyEasy.net)
37) Thesis OpenHook Plug-in
If you use the WordPress Thesis Theme, you will fall in love with this plug-in. It makes an already cool theme, even cooler.
You can overwrite and customize almost any section of your blog’s design (header, footer, sidebars, etc.) by simply pasting your custom code in the appropriate sections of the plug-in. No need to open or edit the actual source code.
Note: This plug-in is only compatible with the Thesis theme.
38) Tell-A-Friend Form
Make it easy for your audience to tell their friends about your site. No programming needed. Just sign up and SocialTwist.com will give you the code to create the tell-a-friend form on your site.
39) XML Sitemap Generator
A sitemap keeps the search engines updated on all your content. This site will crawl your site and generate the code for your sitemap. All that’s left to do is submit it to the major engines.
Most blog platforms create XML sitemaps automatically, but this is good for static, HTML sites.
Note: If you use WordPress, just install the All-In-One SEO Plugin and it will create and submit your sitemap automatically.
40) CutePDF
Create PDF files from virtually any printable document using this free app. A great alternative if you don’t want to shell out $450 for Adobe Acrobat Professional.
41) Feedburner
If you own a blog, this is a must-use tool. Feedburner reports, tracks and helps you promote your blog’s RSS feed. It’s not just for blogs, however. You can use it for any site that has a feed.
For example, I use it to display the latest posts from my forum’s Blogging & RSS category at the bottom of this page.
Read a more detailed explanation of how Feedburner works.
42) CubeStat
CubeStat estimates any website’s worth, ad revenue and much more. These tools are always fun to play with. Just don’t take the data too seriously.
What are some of your favorite free tools?

How I Doubled My Blog Traffic in 2 Months............. By LISA...www.2createawebsite.com
I just got serious about blogging in December of 2007.
I had a blog on Blogger.com for 2 years, but rarely updated it.
Then in November of 2007, I installed Feedburner and discovered I had 430+ subscribers. I was shocked due to the fact I hardly ever blogged.
I didn’t want to lose those subscribers or the traffic, so I decided to challenge myself and see if I could generate an even larger readership.
After switching to WordPress last December, I got more serious about my blog efforts.
I subscribed to Darren Rowse’s blog, ProBlogger.net – a very informative and inspiring blog to newbies and seasoned bloggers alike.
Then I started doing some key things…
1. I am More Selective With My Topics
When I had my Blogger blog, I would often re-write information that was already on my site. I didn’t put much effort into the subject matter of my posts.
(Yawn!)
Now, I’m much more selective. I try to think more about my audience’s needs and what they would find interesting.
And even if I choose a topic that has been blogged about a lot, I try to add my own spin to make it unique. For example, how many articles have been written about “How to Write Good Content” or something similar?
Too many, right?
Well the reality is, most people don’t write good content and they find it a chore or get writer’s block.
So I blogged about this very issue and addressed it from a new angle in a blog post titled “Is Writing Content a Chore for You?” An email I received inspired much of the content in the post.
2. I Make Use of Some Handy WordPress Plugins
Some people go hogwild on the WP plugins. While there are some really cool ones out there, you don’t want to make your blog so plugin-licious that it’s difficult to navigate and read.
You can have too much of a good thing, but there are a few that really come in handy.
Two plugins I believe made a difference in my traffic and readership have been the SiteMap and Related Post plugins.
The SiteMap plugin is important because it generates and submits your blog’s sitemap (an XML listing of all your posts) to all the major engines. Once you install it, the plugin works its magic automatically.
Some of my posts get found in the search engines only hours after I create them.
The Related Post plugin is useful because it encourages people to read more of my blog. It helps them discover posts they might not have discovered had they not seen the “Related Post” link at the end of a blog entry.
Before installing this plugin, I noticed my most recent posts always received 95% of the traffic. Now, older posts are getting more traffic.
3. Visual Appeal
I doubt my graphics have made a huge difference in my traffic, but every now and then I get an email or comment from someone who says they love my blog images and graphics.
One lady says she can’t wait to see what kind of graphic I’ve created to go with the post.
Some of my graphics include pictures of people and things found on Photos.com (I’m a subscriber because I want to make sure I have rights to use the images on my site.)
Usually I’ll add my own flavor to the images with good ole’ PhotoShop.
However most of the graphics like the one in this post were created by me. Learning PhotoShop has been a great asset to my business.
While the content is what really makes or breaks a blog, a few appealing images and graphics can help round out your blog’s appearance and give it a more professional feel.
4. I Blog More Often
Blogging more often is not always a good thing. If you don’t have anything interesting to say then no point in blogging just for the sake of blogging.
It’s not worth losing your subscriber base so be sure your posts have substance.
When you blog often, the search engine spiders will visit more frequently, and this could help your traffic. Blogging often also keeps your subscribers coming back regularly and keeps you on their radar.
5. I Interlink My Blog With My Main Site
I am fortunate enough to have a site that already receives over 7,000 visitors per day, so of course that’s a huge help. When I create a new post, I look for relevant content on my site and provide a link to that entry.
When I used Blogger, I didn’t cross promote all that much. Now, I’m much more conscious of opportunities to interlink the two. So if you have a website and a blog, keep your eyes open for ways to link the two together.
6. Competitor’s Blogs Keep My Juices Flowin’
First and foremost I want to make clear that I am not suggesting you copy someone’s content. Not only is it illegal but it’s highly unethical and dishonest.
But there’s nothing wrong with getting ideas from another blogger’s topics.
For example, if you see a blogger has written about the iPod Touch features (a topic that is overdone); rather than just re-wording what they wrote, create your own entry but take a different approach.
Maybe your post could be something like, “10 Reasons the iPod Touch is Better Than the Zune”. You’re writing about the same topic, but you’re taking the content in a new direction.
Not to mention you could capitalize on a new audience – people looking to compare the Zune and the iPod.
I encourage you to take a look at your competitor’s blogs, get ideas and look for ways you can create your own fresh, unique content.
7. I Switched from Blogger to WordPress
I wrote a post about this a while back, but it is worth mentioning again. I really do believe WordPress is a much better platform because of all the plugins and flexibility.
Blogger is probably easier to setup, but WordPress is pretty user-friendly too – especially if you have a Web host that offers CPanel. (I use HostGator and setup this blog in 5 seconds.)
I have much more control over my layout without having to edit the raw code (like you do with Blogger). Plus, WordPress breaks up the template into separate files so it’s easier to figure out what file controls what section of your blog.
Not to mention, WordPress has much better design templates, in my opinion.
And as I said above, additions like the SiteMap Plugin also help get your posts spidered and indexed faster.
8. I Craft My Titles More Carefully
I discovered titles that pose a question or contain a bit of shock value generate the most clicks. My recent entry “Would You Like $57,000 In One Month?” has a little of both.
Usually my newest post wins the “Daily Traffic Award” but this post is 2 weeks old and still beats out my newer posts on some days.
Taking time to develop a good title can make a huge difference. Particularly since more and more people use RSS to keep track of their favorite blogs.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so make that title count!
9. I Give Away More Freebies
Who doesn’t love something free, right? Plus, it’s a great way to build loyal fans and viral traffic (because they’ll tell others who tell others and so on.)
But I have to be careful with this one because I want my freebies to have value. I hate it when I see Webmasters giving away items that have been distributed over and over again, or freebies you can find anywhere.
How insulting and unoriginal.
If you want your freebies to go to work for you, take some time to develop something useful and unique.
Here are some of my favorite freebies I’ve offered from my blog…
The Perfect Site Guide
Free RSS Icons I Created
Free AdSense Book (PDF) (for beginners)
10. I Share My Personal Success
I wasn’t comfortable doing this at first. I felt I was bragging, but I slowly found it builds credibility. And I noticed other successful people often do the same thing.
If you’re trying to teach people how to do something, it helps to show them how your advice has worked for you.
While I don’t offer specifics about my income, I may display an AdSense check here and there or remind people I am making a living online.
It’s important that my audience knows I am actually walking the walk since I often talk about making money
In Conclusion…
Doing the above things has not only helped double my blog’s traffic in 2 months, and my subscriber count is up by nearly 100 subscribers.
Which of the above strategies can you implement on your blog?
And if you’ve done anything to help boost your blog’s traffic that I haven’t mentioned here, feel free to share.

“KNOW THOSE SCAMMERS AND AVOID THEM”
SCAMMERS
These are people who set up websites or emails pretending to be selling a product or offering some services with the aim of deceiving others to make payment to them for what they will not deliver.
HOW TO KNOW AND AVOID THEM:
Scam message: we will buy your domain/website for $100000 but you must visit …website for evaluation and they charge $96 per website.
This is a scam because the website they will direct you to is also theirs. If you sacrifice that $96 to receive $100000, do not be surprised to log in next time and not find the website anymore.
Scam websites: paid to join data entry, paid to join online survey, earn $750 per day working from home.
Most if not all of websites offering this type of online job are scammers. There is no way a company that will offer you a job will ask you to pay for employment, never! Some websites as this will say they will refer you to thousands of companies to type in adverts and get paid. They are all scams. They get your money and frustrate you online. Don’t be deceived by their interesting sales page.
If you are interested in free to join online surveys that accept NIGEIANS and pays you no matter how small, you can visit www.successposts.blogspot.com (here) and read the post on “paid to click ads…” For my recommended work from home, you can visit www.getafreelancer.com
Scam Blogs/Forums: any online forum/blog with few comments and does not allow you to add new posts are built up by scammers.
This is a scam forum/blog because all the posts there are posted by the owners and will not accommodate yours in other not to spoil business for them.
ATM scam: we are involved in ATM business. You have been chosen to be awarded the sum of $10,000,000.00 which will be paid to you in spreads of $1,000,000.00 weekly respectively right into the ATM card we will send to you. But you will need to pay $95 for the shipment of the card through Western Union Money Transfer to Ben Obi. Question asked; hello. Answer, yes.
This is a scam message. It was sent to me recently. Quickly delete or ignore this type of message.
I can go on and on to show you their messages. The list is endless because they have a way of updating themselves with the recent trick they think will work. They are also at www.xtracooloffers.com. Do not be deceived.

• Do not pay to any website to do any job. If you are buying any product be sure it is from reputable sites like http://www.amazon.com?_encoding=UTF8&tag=exposedsucces-20 , clickbank.com, ebay.com etc.
• Use www.whois.com often to know who registered a website, their address and when. List those websites you have been directed to and check them with whois. It might surprise you that they are owned by one person (the scammer).
• Except you are guided through the right part, you can be deceived. I will be updating this post with new tricks that scammers use as tine goes on. You can visit www.learnstockmarketonline.blogspot.com to learn stock market for free. Just click and read.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO BE SCAMMED ONLINE. AMEN.
These are people who set up websites or emails pretending to be selling a product or offering some services with the aim of deceiving others to make payment to them for what they will not deliver.
HOW TO KNOW AND AVOID THEM:
Scam message: we will buy your domain/website for $100000 but you must visit …website for evaluation and they charge $96 per website.
This is a scam because the website they will direct you to is also theirs. If you sacrifice that $96 to receive $100000, do not be surprised to log in next time and not find the website anymore.
Scam websites: paid to join data entry, paid to join online survey, earn $750 per day working from home.
Most if not all of websites offering this type of online job are scammers. There is no way a company that will offer you a job will ask you to pay for employment, never! Some websites as this will say they will refer you to thousands of companies to type in adverts and get paid. They are all scams. They get your money and frustrate you online. Don’t be deceived by their interesting sales page.
If you are interested in free to join online surveys that accept NIGEIANS and pays you no matter how small, you can visit www.successposts.blogspot.com (here) and read the post on “paid to click ads…” For my recommended work from home, you can visit www.getafreelancer.com
Scam Blogs/Forums: any online forum/blog with few comments and does not allow you to add new posts are built up by scammers.
This is a scam forum/blog because all the posts there are posted by the owners and will not accommodate yours in other not to spoil business for them.
ATM scam: we are involved in ATM business. You have been chosen to be awarded the sum of $10,000,000.00 which will be paid to you in spreads of $1,000,000.00 weekly respectively right into the ATM card we will send to you. But you will need to pay $95 for the shipment of the card through Western Union Money Transfer to Ben Obi. Question asked; hello. Answer, yes.
This is a scam message. It was sent to me recently. Quickly delete or ignore this type of message.
I can go on and on to show you their messages. The list is endless because they have a way of updating themselves with the recent trick they think will work. They are also at www.xtracooloffers.com. Do not be deceived.

How to make money with “GOOGLE ADSENSE FOR DOMAINS”
Hello everyone, I just want to share some secretes many have been using to make money on the internet with you.
Follow the steps below and cheers you will succeed.
1. Conduct a search through Google on high paying keywords.
2. Register the key word as a domain name
3. Try changing the name with your Google adsense PUB code and also the IP numbers on your A Host code at your domain registrar.
4. Write a small article (ask Google on free article writing software to assist you) and attach the domain name you have registered. You will send the article to your mailing list (all the e-mail addresses you send mails to) and they may click the attached domain name address and land on your registered domain.
5. Drive more traffic to the domain. Ask Google for sites that allow classified adverts and paste your domain name there.
6. Paste your Google adsense codes on your domain and be sure of making some money through clicks.
Domain name choosing/registering tips
• Domain names are like: example.com, business.com. There are other extensions like; dot net, .org, .info, etc.
• Names like “successtips “, “gardentips” are better off than your local name
• If the name you intend to register has already been taken. Try pluralizing it, use hyphens in between. And always remember that the shorter and easier to pronounce the domain name is the better for you.
• Registering a domain is having access to that name for specified period
• Before you register a domain with any domain registrar visit www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html to see if your domain registrar is accredited or not
