Google Analytics: Still top of the analytics heap<\/p>\n

1Google Analytics<\/a> is an excellent free web analytics tool. Even if you have another analytics application, we think it’s worthwhile to add Google Analytics to your site \u2014 it’s that good. We use Google Analytics to report on the performance of the SEOmoz website and our online marketing campaigns. Our only requests? Real-time reporting, a referral report with complete URLs and the option to pay for a service level agreement.<\/p>\n

KISSmetrics: Good funnel reporting<\/p>\n

2Does your website require users to go through multiple steps? If so, you need good funnel reporting; we like KISSmetrics<\/a>. Simple to setup and configure, but with plenty of options for segmentation and customization, we use KISSmetrics to monitor and report on the key user experiences of our site. It even provides details on the conversion funnel performance of each of our organic keywords– a big plus for SEOs.<\/p>\n

Google Website Optimizer: Conversion rate optimization<\/p>\n

3These days, Conversion Rate Optimization seems to be more popular than Harry Potter. Google Website Optimizer<\/a> is a free way to do simple conversion rate optimization testing on your website. You can test varied landing pages using an A\/B test or determine the ideal combination of elements using a multivariate test. Google’s tool is free, and capable enough to get you well on your way with CRO.<\/p>\n

MailChimp: Email campaign manager<\/p>\n

4MailChimp<\/a>, oh how we love thee. MailChimp is one of the most intuitive and simple email marketing packages around. And yet, it remains incredibly powerful with detailed analytics, great social media integration and an adorable chimp, Freddie<\/a>. MailChimp offers both free and affordable plans that work well for low-volume and high-volume email campaigns. Stay awesome, MailChimp.<\/p>\n

HasOffers: Affiliate program management<\/p>\n

5SEOmoz relaunched our affiliate program a few months ago and we chose HasOffers<\/a> as our new platform. Our marketing team has collectively used several other platforms in the past and none are as capable and intuitive as HasOffers. Based in the cloud, HasOffers has plenty of capabilities and is designed to enable you to self-manage your own affiliate program or even your own affiliate network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wistia: Video hosting<\/p>\n

6Wistia<\/a> is video hosting on steroids. Not only does this video hosting platform support HTML5, which makes your videos viewable on a slew of non-Flash enabled devices, but the platform is inherently designed for SEO. Try searching Google for “Top 10 Web Apps We Love<\/a>” and you’ll likely see the above Wistia-hosted video that’s included with this blog post. Their tracking and analytics are also the best we’ve seen in video hosting. See a sample report here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google Webmaster Tools: SEO insight<\/p>\n

7Google Webmaster Tools<\/a> is SEO insight straight from the horse’s mouth and a must-have for any website. Get information on how Googlebot sees your site, view (some) links to your site and edit preferences for how your listing appears in the Google search results. While not as comprehensive as we’d like, it’s still a welcome set of capabilities.<\/p>\n

SEOmoz PRO: SEO Campaign Management<\/p>\n

8We may well deserve criticism for adding our own app to this list, but we really are proud parents. The SEOmoz website is large enough that the crawl diagnostics help us find issues we haven’t fixed, the rankings report manages our large list of keywords, and Open Site Explorer provides invaluable data on backlinks. These features just scratch the surface of what you get with SEOmoz PRO<\/a>. It’s a toolset our marketing team uses every day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CoTweet: Twitter account management<\/p>\n

9CoTweet<\/a> provides an excellent interface for managing your Twitter account, especially if you need multiple people to manage it. CoTweet makes it easy to access multiple Twitter accounts and keep an eye on your mentions. Even better, CoTweet integrates with our #10 App, Bit.ly Pro.<\/p>\n

Bitly Pro: URL sharing and analytics<\/p>\n

10While most people only use a URL-shortening service for tweets, we like to use Bit.ly URLs wherever possible. Bit.ly Pro<\/a> permits you to use a custom domain (we use seomz.me) and provides useful analytics for each URL you create. SEOmoz uses the data from Bit.ly Pro to determine which tweets generate the most clicks. Pro tip: add a + to the end of any Bit.ly URL to see a detailed report, like so: http:\/\/seomz.me\/hXrmAU+<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
