Post image for Inspyder Backlink Monitor Review

Inspyder Backlink Monitor is a very useful tool to have in your SEO arsenal. You can throw any URLs into it and it will tell you very quickly where it links to, how many outbound links it has, the domain and the page rank and even whether or not it’s indexed.

It is particularly a boon if you are doing tiered link building because after pasting in your long list of back links in spider work out which is your money site, which your tier 1 links, and which are your tier 2 links et cetera.

Post image for Design your website or logo – fast

Outsourcing is your friend – when you want to create a new website design or a new logo.

When making money online you have to accept that you are good at some things and bad at others. And that it pays you to do certain jobs; whereas it pays you to get other people to do other jobs.

You might be great designer; I’m not. I know what I like the look of when I see it – but I know I am not a “website designer”. So I outsource that task.

Post image for Time management made really easy #GTD + #Evernote

I have tried many of the time management systems out there over the years. I gave up on all of them, usually because I was finding it took me too long to learn them and to maintain them.

What I want a time management system to do easily is to maintain a list of all my tasks and projects, prioritise them, and keep them on track. I also want to know at a glance what I have to do now, and next. Oh – and not miss anything or forget anything.

The system I am about to tell you about allows me to do all this and, what’s more, it lets me do so blissfully easily.

It is not absolutely essential that your time management is brilliant. It is possible to be successful and still have only average time management skills.

But, if your time management skills are good – and if not – don’t worry; they can certainly be improved – you are more likely to be more successful in less time, with less money, and less stress.

Good time management skills put you in good stead not only for work, but also for your personal and family life. Because is only by being sure that your work life is well organised and prioritised that you can truly relax and let go during the time you set aside for personal refreshment and family life.

Good time management is something which is very hard to achieve even by the best Internet marketers. Many good marketers have said to me: “gosh, that’s one thing I could do with – better time management”.

Malc’s Top Ten Efficiency Tools

I recently posted in a forum about my favourite Top Ten Efficiency Tools of the moment. I reproduce my list here with a few extra details.

I think it’s always worth seeing a “top ten list”, because it makes you think about things in a different way and, if you are like me, you are likely to see one or two in a new light and add them to your own repertoire.

I just love testing out new tools: or getting to the point of realising where I am wasting time every day and then Googling to see who else has had that problem and how they solved it. I do have to be strong, though, and ration the amount of time I let myself spend on this stuff. Or I’d be on it all day! :-)

Everything search will not index Dropbox files

I noticed recently that Everything search, the superb utility which lets me find any file on my computer in seconds, was not working properly. On investigation, it turned out it was not indexing any files in the Dropbox folder: a big drawback as all my data files are in that folder!

I realised long time ago that a “desktop search” programme would be hugely useful for me as I was spending more and more time looking for files on my folder system.

That was when, eventually, I found the fantastic utility Everything search: and I did not want to lose that!
