Posted on

I mentioned in an earlier Use What’s Free First about free tools. There are a lot of them for you to choose from, but the following are 5 that I recommend.

  1. Google Analytics for general purpose web analytics
  2. Kampyle for feedback analytics (answering what people really think about your website)
  3. Quantcast for audience profile analytics (answering what your value proposition is to your audience and advertisers)
  4. BTBuckets for segmentation and behavioral targeting (helping you make sure your audience is getting what they came for)
  5. Google Website Optimizer for A/B and multivariate testing (helping you optimize your website’s message, content and functionality

P.S. Google, Yahoo and Microsoft all offer valuable webmaster and keyword tools not to be missed, too!
