I know I "should" check my statistics more often - at least
once a month.
I know that I "should" pick up the keywords
from my stats package for each domain.
I know I "should"
check my backlinks in all of the major search engines. I
know I "should" do a lot more tracking of my Online Success.
But I don't. Why? It's too time-consuming!
As an example, here is the process to check the stats on
ONE domain: Log into the cpanel. Click on the stats icon.
Click on AWStats (my preferred package). Look at the
summary. Copy the major stats into a spreadsheet so I can
track them over time. Click to look at the robots who have
visited my site. Click to look at the keywords people have
used to reach the site. Copy the keywords and save them in
a text file so I can use them for PPC ads, articles, etc.
Whew! Ten minutes later, I've finished ONE domain. If you
have 5 domains, it will take you about an hour. If you have
50 domains - it's more than a day's work! And if you have
more than 100 domains - well, you get the picture!
I've dreamed for years that there could be an easier,
faster way. I've talked to other Internet marketers. I've
talked to programmers. No one had a solution. Until this\
week!
Enter the "miracle software," as I'm calling it. It not
only checks your stats, keywords, and backlinks, but it
also gives you the number of pages from each site indexed
in each of the major search engines. It finds your page
rank and tells you about the robots' most recent visits.
Plus it tracks the stats over time and builds a chart - for
each of your domains! Sweet.
Now if that's all it did, I would be a very happy web
manager. But it doesn't stop there.
I have more than 300 domains on one server. Imagine
clicking ONE button and having the software pick up the
domain names, usernames, and passwords for all of my
domains. Took less than a minute! Everything else I want to
do in the software uses that information - and I don't have
to enter anything else.
And here's the clincher. I decided I wanted to add new 404
pages to all of my domains as an additional revenue stream.
I was prepared to upload the pages and graphics to each of
my 300 domains, one site at a time. But with the Mass FTP
function, I can click ONE button and have the page and
graphics uploaded to 300 sites in a matter of minutes. I
don't know about you, but I am thrilled with the
possibilities this software opens. In my first hour with
the software, I have saved over 40 hours of work - that I
probably would never have gotten finished. I'm a better web
manager and a much happier person - with more information
at my fingertips. Now I can concentrate on running my
business, instead of working at the clerical detail level
