I kinda would like to make this a sticky thread if possible, both to help myself and others.
I want to compile a list of paid and free tools for people doing PPC / Arbitrage that they have found useful.
I'll start it off and give you reasons why I like these tools, hope you will contribute too. I am not putting in my affiliate links to these because I really believe in these product. I am hoping to share with you and learn at the same time. Please dont list software like FTP, Photoshop, Notepad, etc... try to keep it PPC, affiliate marketing, or arbitrage related.
1. ClickHeat - ClickHeat | Clicks heatmap
* I like this product because it can tell me where people are clicking on my landing pages. I also like it because it is free and I can host myself. I have a problem with hosting my data on someone else's server. This is a great tool for following multiple links on a landing page.
2. Stuffed Tracker - What is Stuffed Tracker? / Stuffed Tracker
* This stats package was one of the very few solutions I could find that would let me generate a tracking pixel of my own for goal/conversion tracking. It is not free, but I would rather pay a few bucks then let Google know what I am doing with all my sites. There are other solutions out there, but for the price this worked out the best for me. Also has a split testing and funnels.
3. Prosper202 - Prosper202 Self Hosted Apps
* Im not a complex PPC arbitrage guy. I actually only run a few at a time, enough to where simple math could let me know how I am profiting and what to tweak. However, this system offers a ton of shit for being free and I have migrated all my work to this system. Again, I like self hosting, but they offer a hosted solution as well. Gives me a good eye view of my campaigns when I need it during the day as well as valuable records for later use.
4. SpeedPPC - SpeedPPC - Pay Per Click Marketing Campaign Building Tool
* This one is a bit pricey and I know there are other solutions like EfficientPPC and a free version that I think Smaxor has hosted up. However, I have used SpeedPPC a lot and have grown use to it for when I need to bang out a Google/Yahoo/MSN campaign quickly. I highly recommend using a solution like this if your doing a ton of keywords and LP's.
5. Poll Factory - Poll Factory | Lightning Fast CPA Poll Creation
* I found this before joining PPC Coach and Coach has a similar tool if not the original version of this software. I have not used the poll generator in the coach's membership, but I can say I really like Poll Factory. It is a paid product, but it easily generates polls for me quickly and helps me test out offers. I am sure you can find others, but I like this software myself.
6. Wordpress
* I know I might get flamed for this one, but shit.. I have generated so much money from Wordpress I am actually thinking of make a donation to them, which is a first for me on many levels.
Please share your ideas and thoughts and any you use that you think deserves good mention here.
