I love Internet for providing us with wealth of resources that help us develop better blogs and as result gain more or achieve our goals faster. But finding tools you can use and understand what exactly they are telling you can be challenging.

In this post I want to share 3 webmaster tools that will help you improve your blog performance and do my best to explain what they should be used for.

Let’s dig-in…

Each and every year we see that “free line” is sliding more and more and it has been described many times by others, including the great series of post by my friend and marketing guru Doug Champigny “The POWER OF FREE In Affiliate Marketing – Part One“.

FREE is an incredibly powerful word that draws people and while sometimes it represents nothing but regurgitated crap, some of the recent product launches, such as Send Button Profits by Jeff Dedrick shows us true power of over-delivering. And as a launch partner I know that he will surprise even more people by what is coming.

But seeing all the freebies – question comes to mind – Is FREE Overdone?

One of the best and easiest ways to get traffic to your blog is by taking advantage of the various free resources available on line.

Caveat: Your main or as I call it money blog needs to be on YOUR server and on a domain YOU own. You should be using a WordPress blog there.

Now that we have gotten rid of the caveat, lets look at some of the free tools that are available.

• Squidoo – my absolute favorite
• Hub Pages
• Blogger
• WordPress.com
• MSN Live

For the purposes of illustration we will pick a topic and use a bad word in my vocabulary ass/u/me that you have done the research and found to have profit potential about Bumble Bees. (Hey I am old and bald bare with me here.)

As bloggers we can never have enough cool tools to help us through the day. I’m particularly taken by the many online applications that shine through and allow us bloggers to perform certain tasks easier. I have sourced some tools that you might find handy for your own needs.

Take a look at them and see what you think. I’d love to hear your feedback and whether they were helpful in any way.
