Cool Tools For Webmasters
=================================================
Have a Site to Promote? Use What WE Use!
For years I've been telling you that if you need to promote your website you MUST generate names for your mailing lists, use autoresponders, track advertising results, conduct polls, and more. For each of these tasks, I've recommended various third party tools...until now. Two weeks ago, I was stunned to find a suite of tools (28 in all!) that do all of the above for only $19.99 per month (an absolute STEAL). I immediately became a heavy user of three of these tools and am anxious to kick the tires on all 28. From what I've seen so far, this is an ESSENTIAL resource for anyone who's committed to building a web presence. This one system gives you all the proven marketing tools you need for your site to prosper. The best part is I've been speaking with the owner, Marc Goldman, almost daily and it's clear that they are on a mission to continually upgrade and improve on what they have, which, like I've said, is already quite impressive. Finally, as with everything else I promote to you, I'm open to any questions you may have so you can get the most out of this great product; feel free to call me at 914.238.6874 (9-5 EST) or send an e-mail. Now, click here and sign-up for The Ultimate Marketers Resource!
How One Program Literally DOUBLED My Opt-In Rate
By allowing visitors to OPT-IN without entering their email addresses, Opt-In Automator doubled the rate of subscribers to the Cool Site of the Day Daily Edition (see the pop-up in action on our home page -- it's 'cookied' so it will only appear once per visitor every 30 days). I strongly recommend this as a complement to the The Ultimate Marketers Resource above. Click here and see how it works.

Cool Sites

Some of our recent favorites...
Templar Studios - these guys were 'Cool Site of the Day' on March 7th. Get to know them by clicking on each worker in the office building. Brilliant!
"Affix Anything Anywhere" When I saw this listed in a magazine, I HAD to check it out. Their words: "We are here to help you choose the right glue for your bonding requirements. We are committed to keeping current with the adhesive market..." Yes, there's a web site for everything.
Urban Legends Reference Pages - a 'Cool Site of the Day' pick for March 6th. We can't seem to get enough of this stuff as we awarded Urban Legends Reference Pages, on January 6, 1999.
For more, check out the Still Cool Archive.
Happy surfing...
