Here are a few of a few of the best tools for internet marketing that I’ve used over the past year.  All the tools are free and very helpful when conducting your own internet marketing.

Niche-a-day – Get information about current hot niches as well as specific information about that niche.

OpenOffice – Why buy Microsoft Office when you can get something nearly the same for free? The best part is being able to save documents as PDF. I’ve made plenty of e-books this way.

Sitepoint Marketplace – Buy and sell websites

DigitalPoint’s Keyword tools – a great way to build new keywords

Warrior Forum – A really great internet marketing forum.

Google Traffic estimater – for new keywords without adding them to an account or using the AdWords sign-up wizard.

Google Analytics – everyone has to get Google Analytics. It makes it easy to figure out where your traffic is coming from.

Link Diagnosis SEO Tool: Figure out what your competitor’s link building strategy is.  It gives you the ability to view anchor text, PR and a lot more.
