Customer Relationship Management

March 30th, 2006

While I’m on the topic of Customer Relationship Management software, I may as well write about the CRM software my web design company bought this week - GoldMine. This one aint free and it isn’t browser based - it’s software that you need to install on your computer.

However it can still be accessed over a network, you can have unlimited user accounts and isn’t light on the features. You can customized just about anything too.

We’re currently in the process of transferring all our customer details from our old customer management software that I whipped up in PHP over to GoldMine. It’s a boring process but needs to be done.
It’s worth checking out. It’s certainly going to make everyone here at work more efficient.

SugarCRM

A friend of mine told me about this software. It’s an open source Customer Relationship Manager jam packed with features.

They offer some paid versions such as a hosted version and versions that look liked they’ed have more features… You check out the demos of the software on the Demos page.

What else can I say. It’s pretty cool.

HTML Toolbox & HTML Validators

March 29th, 2006

This tool has been around for a while but it is definately a great tool. HTML Toolbox goes through a page on your website and finds broken links, html errors, page loads times just to name a few…

It also comes with a cool little tool to reduce the size of graphics so that the loading time of your page is faster.

Make sure you also check out the W3 Markup Validator and W3 Link Checker which is also handy for finding HTML errors and broken links.

Enjoy!

Adsense Secrets

March 28th, 2006

Want to know how to increase your click through rate on your Google Adsense account? I’ve found the very eBook for you.

Not sure who told me about this one but I’m glad I found it. The eBook is titled Adsense Secrets written by a man named Joel Comm.

It helped me with positioning my ads, what colors to use, how to tweak your ads and find what works… The list is endless… It didn’t take me long at all to make back what I spent on the eBook so ti was well worth the money.
