We love software and whenever we get an opportunity to highlight a software program that is a 10 out of 10 and to top it off FREE we have to give it a shout out.

The task of defragging your hard disk  is a major pain when using programs delivered with our standard operating system software but Auslogic Disk Defrag makes it painless and is a tool that should be in everyone’s tool box.

Go to www.keyworddiscovery.com/search.html. This is just one of many websites you can use to see how many people are searching for your chosen topic each month. Simply type in your key word on the left, enter the security code given and click “search”. The number of people searching for your key word each month will appear in the results.

Other similar tools are WordTracker and Google has one as well. Links to all these handy tools can be found in our “BlogRoll” section, which is in the left sidebar or column of our website.

These tools are a great way to find out the potential of the internet market you are considering entering into…

Adbrite – this is the poor cousin to Adsense and Yahoo and their payouts reflect the fact they do not entice or enjoy having the best advertisers willing to pay higher dollars to utilize their distribution network. Minimum payout $5.00

Google Adsense – The premier pay per click advertiser/publisher. We dislike their reporting as they purposely keep some data hidden from publishers. Because they are #1, they have a tendency to act like they can do no wrong and are weak in customer support related issues. Still, Adsense is considered #1 in the PPC marketplace and at the very least worth being tested as some sites achieve higher CTR.  Minimum payout $100.00 with payment made the month after you reach this threshold.

eBay – This program pays out and if you can find the right niche can be quite profitable. The objective is to entice your readers to visit eBay and hopefully purchase something. We like the eBay program, their features and payout schedules. Minimum payout is $5.00 unfortunately starting in August 2009 it will be $25.00.

CJ or Commission Junction – Has never really done anything for me.  Minimum payout $100.00 and after they take their fees usually leaving you with little in return. It may be we have not found the right niche, however, to date we have found this middleman not worth the effort.

ClickBank – Has numerous opportunities, it too has seen little results when tested in our network. Having said that, we understand they do have some good performers. Two to consider:

1. Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle
2. Credit Repair Secrets Revealed

Based on our experiences, what we can share with you is to sell your own wares. If you have an eBook or a product which you are passionate about, market and sell it directly to your own customers. The benefits are:

• you receive payments directly into your own bank account at time of sale, not 60-90 days later, which provides working capital to facilitate site or product improvements
• you see the results and have better control of your demographic. Some programs do not advise where and whom your clientele is.
• no middleman
• no minimum payouts
• no fees
• business longevity and control is in your hands

If you are wanting to test the market without incurring alot of debt, develop a WordPress site, add your wares, use PayPal and if you need a digital delivery script or shopping cart there are free ones out there. We use a free digital delivery script called Digisell and it is by NG Coders.

The above are only a few of the many affiliate programs out there. Be cautious and if being online is a goal of yours, initially to avoid being disappointed, stay away from highly competitive products and focus your efforts on subjects you are passionate and knowledgeable about.

By paying others a commission to market your wares is a great way to encourage webmasters with high traffic sites to add your banner and send you some business. The banner below is not tied to an affiliate program as I did not register with CJ as an affiliate but wanted to touch on how to use affiliate marketing to help promote your website. This particular program pays 15% commission for sales.

This is one of the better marketing banners I have seen in the online marketplace. To be successful in online sales you need traffic, exposure, affiliates and a good marketing plan. No traffic, No mola (profit).

Available to download for free from the RegCure.com website, the utility packs quite the unexpected punch for such a lightweight app. At just over 1mb in size, it certainly won’t be clustering your hard drive to the hilt. But good things can come in small packages, and RegCure proves it so.

First things first, we should note that while RegCure is free to download, it isn’t strictly free to use. You will need to register before you can fix the sizable chunk of errors that the program is likely to report. The trial version allows a maximum of five errors to be fixed. And unless you unwrapped your copy of Microsoft Windows in the last five minutes, this is going to leave some of the problems untreated.

The utility is simplified to cater for absolute beginners with its “one click to a finish” system. But while beginners will be able to make use of the software, so will the computer gurus at the other end of the market. RegCure is excellent at what it does, so what does it do?

It gives a remarkable boost to your PC performance. The application tackles all issues related to corruption of the Windows registry. Anybody who has spent a reasonable amount of time looking in to Windows problems will be aware that many of the errors we encounter are down to an untidy registry, corrupted or otherwise.

For a typical user to go in and reverse the necessary changes to restore a healthy registry, you could set aside a day or two. Errors are a pain to fix, and you really have to know what you’re doing as a bad edit could lock you out of the system completely.

This, of course, leads us to the benefits of RegCure. The utility is designed specifically to automate the process of cleaning a Windows registry. It will fix the outdated entries, remove the invalid data, and clean out anything and everything that you don’t need. Just follow the simple three step process and you will be left with an overview of the errors that RegCure detected. Get RegCure.

Domain management is a challenge for anyone with a large number of domain names under their umbrella. Just how do you keep track of which registrars your domains are registered with? Which email addresses are in use as the site contact? Which name-servers are used by which domains? And probably priority one is when the names due to expire? GoDaddy is great as they notify you months in advance as to when your name is about to expire, however if you are looking for something more robust to protect, organize, track and manage your domain names look at Watch My Domains Pro – this suite is not free but does exactly that.

One of the ideas we had for DomainProtege.com was to develop it into a domain name monitoring software suite.

DNZoom did something similar so if warrants, finding a software suite that will help you simplify management is worth pursuing. Try DNZoom it is bit cumbersome but has some good features.
