free monitor google

Free Monitor for Google is free web promotion software designed for search engine specialists and webmasters. With it, you can find position of your web site in Google Top for popular keywords and get more traffic from Google. Google Monitor will query Google and show you the position of your site by your target keywords and also how well your competitors are doing. It keeps statistics for several URLs and several lists of keywords. You can even add notes. Below are the 3 notable features of Free Monitor for Google.

  1. Monitor Website Ranking
  2. For each keyword, Free Monitor for Google performs a query to Google and shows its rank in the Google index. You can choose the way to perform the query: either the default method (just like in a browser) or via the Google Web API. Free Monitor for Google stores your best position for each keyword and the current trend: whether you have risen since the last search or fallen down.

    Additionally, Free Monitor for Google shows the top positions in Google for each keyword (see the right part of the window on the screenshot above). By default, it shows top 10, but you can change this to anything you like.

  3. Track Multiple URLs
  4. One of the convenient Free Monitor for Google features is that it can check the web ranking of several URLs.

    Free Monitor for Google keeps the results for each URL separately from others, which allows you to check rankings of several websites independently.

  5. Work Through Proxy
  6. options

    You can make Free Monitor for Google work through a proxy to increase the speed, cache results or bypass country-specific restrictions. There are four proxy options: proxy host, proxy port, username and password. The first two are required (unless you decide to work without a proxy). The username and password are only required for those proxy servers that require authentication.

A lead management system helps track closed sales, leads generated, advertising campaigns, website traffic and revenue. Lucky for interested organizations, AIMpromote lead management has the most features in the industry by far, and is priced less than the leading competition. AIMpromote is easy-to-use, has no setup fee, and is flexible enough to meet the needs of every business. They help increase profits in all industries including mortgage, automotive, and telemarketing. I did some comparison to others in the competition and saw why AIMpromote dominated the market. Below are 6 useful features of the software :

  1. Lead Attention Meter
  2. An average of 80% of sales lead is missed because of neglect. The Lead Attention Meter will show when a lead needs attention or how close the sale is to being lost due to a lack of response. Administrative tasks such as this will reduce the need for sales staff and keep them from closing that next big sale.

  3. Reports
  4. Get real-time reports on how well each advertising campaign is working and how well each sales representatives is performing.

  5. Lower TCO
  6. There are no setup fees, and the people at AIMpromote will integrate the software into clients’ systems free of charge. The high usability and low learning cure will keep sales representatives working efficiently.

  7. Customization
  8. If an organization is interested in mortgage lead management, they will tailor the system specifically to the mortgage lead management needs of the organization. It is a fact that no two setups are ever exactly the same. The reason is every business have their own needs and their own business process. There is absolutely no charge to customize the AIMpromote system to meet every client’s needs. Furthermore, clients are encouraged to take advantage of the efficiency that can be gained by a properly configured system.

  9. Full Featured 14 Day Trial
  10. Allowing every sign up to try a full featured system is the best form of trial. Testing out a new system for 14 days, clients are able to decide for themselves on whether the software fits their needs or not.

  11. Competitor Comparison
  12. View the competitor features and pricing comparison chart. The difference between the LeadsROI and Leads360 with AIMpromote is vast.

I’ve been using Joomla v1.0 for my blog for the past 5 months and find that it is still in it’s baby stages. There were several issues about Joomla that just didn’t make it as a blogging platform. I had difficulty because

  • I cannot tag my posts
  • once I label a post as archive, it will no longer appear in the main pool of posts
  • I tried finding but still cannot place advertisements in between posts
  • I have to install a third party component to enable users to leave a comment
  • I have to insert html code manually to include ads in the posts

No doubt the support I got from the forums are helpful but it is not enough. The frustration I face during days when Joomla prevents me from doing what I want to do just spoils the rest of my day. Enough is enough and so I decided to migrate Joomla to wordpress.

Firstly, a million thanks to Rodney Blevins for making it possible to move Joomla to Wordpress. Thanks for making the Mambo2Wordpress Import Wizard that made life easier for me. Now I’ll contribute back by detailing my steps.

The import wizard made by Rodney was actually meant for Mambo (a previous name for Joomla). However, after several modifications, it was Joomla compatible. You can find the download link to my modified version at the end of the article. Below are the steps I took.

Tested on :

Joomla CMS v1.0.12
Wordpress 2.1

  1. Install Wordpress and create a folder in the root called ‘export’.
  2. create folder export

  3. Update the config.php file with your own database names, mysql user name, password and host name.
  4. config.php

  5. All my tables had a ‘jla_’ prefix in the front
  6. table prefix

    So if your tables have a different prefix, eg. ‘abc_’, then just search and replace ALL ‘jla_’ with ‘abc_’ for the index.php file.

    search and replace

  7. Upload index.php and config.php to the ‘export’ folder in the root of your website.
  8. Surf to http://your-wp-installation/export and follow the steps to import your articles or links into Wordpress.
  9. You’re DONE!

DISCLAIMER : Use it at your own risk. I have tested it a lot on my own server and it works, which does not mean it will work for you as well. It may break your website accidentally. ALWAYS make sure you have a working backup before attempting big scale stunts like this.
