Applications Galore

Google has just announced its application marketplace for small and medium businesses.
If you're looking for software to help run your business, this could be the place. The apps are organized by subject and include star-rated reviews. And if you can't find what you need there, check out the resources on my site.

Track Links to Your Site

Bit.ly is an easy way to keep track of those clicking on your links, like the ones you add to Facebook, Twitter and emails. For example, I created a page on my website about my new book. I took that URL over to bit.ly and converted it to a trackable link. Then I use it wherever I comment. You'll get reports showing the number of clicks and where they came from in a report like this. Cool, no?
