Keep your social etiquette in mind

Just because we live in the digital age doesn’t mean we can forget our manners. Now that we communicate with one another and, more importantly, our customers constantly through various social media channels, we need to exercise our best online etiquette now more than ever. It’s easy to hide behind a computer or phone, voicing our strong opinions. But what long-term effects could this have on your business? Could it drive away customers who find your opinions too much? Could them disagreeing with you stop them from using your services? Absolutely. Many of us take chances online—behaving in ways we wouldn’t otherwise act in public. Having a voice is a perfect way to assert your brand. Just be mindful of what you’re saying.

The Do’s

Do remember that your comments and postings will follow you long after they have been shared. If you think it could offend anyone- don’t post it.
Do consider your tone. Are you a bragger? Or are you more subtle? Followers and customers often form negative opinions when they feel you’re trying to force something on them, even if it’s a great offer.
Do address them. If someone is saying negative things on your page, answer them. Show that you heard them loud and clear and are taking their comments on board. Furthermore, that a mistake can be rectified. This will show other potential customers that you know customer service is key.
Do link to your website. This is the best way to increase traffic. If your post is compelling enough, people will click the link.
The Don’ts

Don’t go off brand. Try and keep your posts relevant to your brand goals and guidelines. Funny or engaging posts may generate likes, but it’s potential customers that you really want to attract.
Don’t lose your cool. If someone is having a rant on your page, be polite. Don’t forget your customer service 101 and remember- everyone is watching.
Don’t constantly ask people to follow you or like your page. It’s not only demanding, it can also make your brand seem less premium.
Don’t overload everyone’s feed. Nothing annoys people more than seeing similar posts over and over again. If you promote a post- make sure you have a set time of how long you want to promote it for. People will make sure they never see your content again if they see your post every time they log in.
The trick is to come across as personable and show that you’re listening. Not to overload people’s feeds, and be mindful of how they will perceive you.

12 Free Social Media tools

1. Social Mention

Screenshot of Social Mention 9/25/14

When it comes to social media tools, it doesn’t’ get any easier than Social Mention. It’s similar to Google Alerts, however, Social Mention only monitors social media properties like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and some 80 other social media sites. You can also receive daily email alerts and there’s also a third party API.

What’s really interesting about Social Mention relies on four-metrics to help calculate this tool. These include:

• Strength – The likelihood of your brand being discussed on social media.
• Sentiment – The ratio of positive mentions over the negative mentions.
• Passion – The likelihood of individuals continuing to mention your brand.
• Reach – Measures influence by dividing the number of unique authors who have referenced your brand by the total number of mentions.

2. IceRocket

Screenshot of Ice Rocket 9/25/14

Here’s another free tool to help monitor specific keywords. When the real-time search engine launched in 2004, it was used mainly by bloggers to keep track of mentions of their blog. Over the years, IceRocket has expanded to include social networks like Facebook and Twitter. You can now track mentions of all three together or separately.

One of the coolest features IceRocket has to offer is a trend report. All you have to do is enter the terms you want to see mentioned and you’ll get a graph illustrating how many posts a day the term appears as well as the total amount of blog posts over a 30 day period.

3. Addictomatic

Screenshot of Addictomatic 9/25/14

Addictomatic is another straightforward tool that can be used to monitor your brand’s reputation and influence. It’s basically a discovery platform that searches Google, Bing, Twitter, WordPress, YouTube, and Flickr to find the most recent blog posts, news, images, or videos based on keywords.

Because Addictomatic is customizable, it’s quite easy to get addicted to this tool. While you may think that this isn’t’ all that different than Google, Addictomatic breaks the search results into headers, as opposed to being lumped all together.

4. SumAll

Screenshot of SumAll 9/25/14

Unlike most other social media tools, SumAll is designed specifically with small business owners in mind. How so? It not only gives you the ability to measure and monitor social media heavyweights like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, it also connects you to other services like Google Analytics and PayPal. In all, SumAll’s free plan can connect you with 42 different services.

Instead of managing all of those different accounts, you can keep up-to-date with all of your most vital platforms in one convenient spot. You can also choose to get daily updates via email.

5. IFTTT

Screenshot of IFTTT 9/25/14

I’ll just let the company describe what IFTTT is all about:

“IFTTT is a service that lets you create powerful connections with one simple statement: if this then that.”

IFTTT allows you to make personalized “Recipes” by taking a “Trigger” (the “this” part). An example is getting tagged in a photo on Facebook. The “that” part is then the Action taken afterwards. So, after being tagged on Facebook, then “create a status message on Facebook”. Because IFTTT works with 132 channels that include social media networks and businesses like eBay and Best Buy, it’s incredibly easy to stay connected with both the online and offline world.

This unique tool has already been praised by publications like Forbes, The New York Times,Time and Wired.

6. Google Analytics

Screenshot of Features – Google Analytics 9/25/14

If you have a website, then you are probably already utilizing the vast resources Google Analytics has to offer. For example, you have access to the profiles of your customers or visitors to help you understand how they found what site, what devices they use, and what they like or don’t like it. It’s probably one of the most important tools for marketers.

Did you also know that you can use Google Analytics to evaluate your social sources? Through this tool you can discover how frequently social sharing leads to conversions, referrals, and traffic to your site.

7. Facebook Insights

Screenshot of Facebook Page Insights 9/25/14

If you’re marketing on Facebook, then you may not have been thrilled earlier this year when Facebook announced some changes to how updates are displayed. Not only do you have to be concerned about the competition, you also have to worry if advertising on Facebook is worth the investment. However, if you are marketing on Facebook, then you should be using Facebook Insights.

One of the most beneficial features of this tool is that it can help you understand the behaviour of your customers. For example, you can create a schedule based on the time or day or day of the week that your customers are most active on Facebook. Other informative features include being able to track likes, post reach, and engagement metrics. And, you can even keep tabs on your competitors Facebook activity.

8. TweetDeck

Screenshot of TweetDeck 9/25/14

Chances are you’ve at least heard of TweetDeck. And there’s good reason for that. – it is arguably one of the best Twitter tool available. Some outstanding features include scheduling tweets, customized searches, and even alerts to keep you up-to-date with the latest happenings. You can also track hashtags, events, topics, and view the social profiles of Twitter and Facebook users.

If you’re a fan of Hootsuite, than you’d probably like to know that TweetDeck is a very similar tool. While it may not have the features that Hootsuite Pro offers, there’s a lot to get out of with this free tool.

9. Rapportive

Screenshot of Rapportive 9/25/14

Rapportive is possibly one of the most interesting social media tools that I’ve come across. In a nutshell, it allows you to view social profiles in your Gmail inbox. While primarily used for LinkedIn, you have access to the location, job title, and images. You can also view their latest tweets or Facebook statuses as well.

This tool allows you to grow your network by searching the web for people with similar interests or careers without having to search the web yourself. This email add-on is compatible with MailChimp, Bantam Live, BatchBook, BookingBug, Brightpearl, and CrunchBase too.

10. Swayy

Screenshot of Swayy 9/25/14

Sometimes it’s a challenge to come up with content that isn’t just relevant to your business, but also something your audience will enjoy. After all, you’re a busy person, and you don’t always have time to see what’s trending on social media, let alone create your own amazing content. That’s why Swayy is such a stellar tool to utilize.

Swayy suggests content, whether it’s a video, article, or infographic, that you should share with you audience. You’re even given the proper handles and hashtags to share this content. And, there’s an analytics feature so that you can see what kind of content is resonating with your audience. If you have one dashboard, this awesome tool is free. If you have more than one, you’ll have to check out their pricing features.

11. Qzzr

Looking for a simple and creative way to create shareable content on social media that will also drive traffic to your site? Give quizzes a try. Social Media Explorer covered this topic earlier this year, saying quizzes provide information about your site and provide an opportunity to connect with your audience.

Qzzr helps you create various quizzes for your social media platforms. You can create a BuzzFeed-like quiz or one that gives an actual grade. There is also a wide range of topics to choose from so you don’t have to worry about finding a topic in your niche.

12. Easel.ly

Screenshot of easel.ly 9/25/14

Infographics are a proven way to boost your credibility and increase site traffic. That is a great assist, but it can cost a pretty penny – which is no good when you’re on a tight budget. Thankfully, there are free tools that make it simple to create a solid infographic.

Since it’s launch in 2012, Easel.ly has helped over 300,000 users create thousands of infographics. All you have to do is select one of the free templates and start plugging in your data. No wonder so many students and bloggers have been enjoying this free tool.

How to Spy your competitors?

25 Sneaky Online Tools and Gadgets to Help You Spy on Your Competitors

Even before you entered into the world of “business”, you were watching your competition. Whether it was in a classroom or on a sports team, you not only wanted to keep up, you wanted to know where the marker was set so you could go one step further. It was about finding new opportunities and setting new goals based on someone you aspired to beat.

At this time, when search is so important and detailed, and the Internet has grown so extensively, you have tons of different factors to consider when spying on your competition. This is where marketing tools come into play.

In many cases, tools that help you monitor your own web performance also can help you gather data on your competition. So, you might be using some of these tools already, without using the features that help you evaluate your competitors. Here are some of the best tools out there:

1. Google Alerts – a tool for monitoring mentions

This is a very simple and easy-to-use tool that will send reports right to your inbox. If you want to know every single time your competitor is mentioned online, whether as a link or simply a mention, you’ll get that report. You can monitor keywords as well. It’s up to you what you want to track.

Price: Free

2. SocialMention – a tool for monitoring mentions

This tool has lots of cool features that focus on blogs, video, and social (all the “cool” stuff). You enter in a search term, either a keyword or a company, and the tool will tell you what’s being said about that term across blogs and social platforms. You can see how many times and how often it’s mentioned and you even can subscribe to an RSS feed for that term, so you never miss a beat.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Monitor and track keyword mentions
• Monitor company mentions
• Cross-analyze what is being said across different social networks

Price: Free

3. Topsy – a tool for social media

This is a tool that’s all about Twitter. You can look up your competitors’ tweets all the way back to 2006 (although you surely won’t need to go back more than a few months), and get free information when you type in a site. You can see how many tweets that company had, a list of those tweets, and which tweets were influential. Feel free to filter and get whatever information you need.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• View Twitter data of competitors

Price: This is a tool where the PRO version might be best. Although you can get the information discussed above for free right away, the PRO version gives you real-time results and better reports. The PRO account is $12,000 annually with unlimited data and email support.

4. Marketing Grader – a tool for monitoring mentions

This is a cool tool because it gives each of your competitors an overall score based on social media activity, blogging success, SEO, and lead generation. It’s fun to see if their score fluctuates and then to notice if your score does the same.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

5. Competitive Research & Keyword Research Gadget

This is a really cool tool because you can place it right on your site and then get information about your competitors all in one place. In other words, it’s more of a “gadget” than a tool, meaning it’s a little button you can use to find information using another competitive analysis tool (which the installation will give you).

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Place the tool on your site for easy access
• Gather information on your competitors in one place
• Use it in conjunction with another tool of your choice

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Track social media trends in your industry
• Track social trends of your competitors
• Obtain insight into your audience

Price: Free

7. Google Keyword Planner – a tool for keywords

Formerly the Google Keyword Tool and Traffic Estimator, this tool seems to have it all. Although it doesn’t focus specifically on competitor analysis (it’s more focused on your own website), finding competitor data is one feature of the tool. Because it’s from Google, it’s considered one of the best out there.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Find competitor keyword data (paid and organic)
• Monitor your own website as well as those of your competitors

Price: You need to sign up for a free AdWords account to access the tool

8. Instapaper – a tool for organization

This is a simple tool that allows you to save web pages for later to read on your computer, mobile phone, or even Kindle. Once you sign up for an account (which takes just a few minutes), you can add the bookmarklet to your bookmark bar to keep things easy.

Price: Free

9. Monitor Backlinks – A tool for keywords

This tool is new on the scene, but it’s something I’ve recently tried and really enjoyed. This is another company with great customer service, and you can follow different competitors’ backlinks and have them sent straight to your inbox, with a description of which are the highest domains, which are the lowest, and whether or not they are dofollow or nofollow. You have a dashboard you can look at and compare your results, but I like to use it primarily to look at links my competitors are earning.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Send competitor backlinks to your inbox

• Get a good picture of links that are nofollow vs. dofollow
• Compare your results with competitors thanks to the dashboard

If you want to manage only 2, it is $19.00/month, 5 is a Plus plan for $49.99/month, 10 is a Professional plan for $99.90/month, and anything more is a custom plan which you would discuss with the company to determine a price.

10. SEMRush – a tool for keywords

This definitely is one of my favorite tools because it specializes in competitor data. You can visit the homepage and type in a competitor’s website (completely free) and immediately get information regarding organic keywords and rank, ad keywords, and traffic. The best part: it all comes to you in a graphic format.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

13. SpyOnWeb

This is a very popular tool because it’s so easy to use. With this tool, you enter a URL, Google AdSense or Google Analytics code, or IP address to find out what resources belong to the same owner. In other words, when you type in a domain, you get results for all of the different IP addresses and then a list of domains that have that same IP address (in some cases a site will have more than one IP address).

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Discover the different IP addresses to find domain information

Price: Free

14. SimilarWeb – a tool for web rankings

This is a tool that allows you to get traffic insights for any website. You type in a website and right away you’ll get global rank, country rank, and category rank of that website, along with a nice graph that shows the weekly number of visitors in the last 6 months. You can see how many leads come from social, search, referrals, display ads, and many more. There also is a big orange bar that lets you add competitors and even gives you suggestions on who you may want to watch.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Obtain the competitive rank and unique visitors for any website

There also is an option for a custom plan, in which case, you talk to the people in charge and create something that works for you (and negotiate a price).

16. What Runs Where – a tool for monitoring ads

Although this resource specializes in online media buying and helping businesses buy correctly, it has some great features for watching your competition. It supports over 40 ad networks across several different countries and allows you to track a list of your competitors. You then get an alert every time that competitor launches a new ad or publishes new content.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Track ad production of competitors
• Receive alerts each time a new ad or content is published

Price: You have the choice between getting results about Advertising Awareness, Mobile Awareness, or both. The plan for both, the third option, is the most popular and runs $299/month for the Basic plan and $700/month for the Premium plan.

17. Open Site Explorer – a tool for backlinks

This tool comes from Moz, so you know it’s got to be good. It’s one of the most popular tools out there today, and it allows you to follow your competitors’ link-building efforts. You can see who is linking back to them regarding PageRank, authority/domain, and anchor text. You also can compare link data, which can help keep things easy.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Find out who is linking to your competitors
• Compare link data of your competitors

Price: You can get some data for free right away, but in order to use Open Site Explorer to the fullest extent, you will need Moz’s Analytics Standard package for $99/month.

18. Ahrefs – a tool for backlinks

This is another popular tool. It will show you things like top pages, IPs, and external links regarding your competitors. Speaking from experience, the site has great customer service and works with you to make sure you get what you need.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

Price: This tool is free if you want only 3 different competitor reports and 10 results (limited time only), but most upgrade for $79/month to get more detailed information.

19. Alexa – a tool for web rankings

This is one of the more advanced tools available, and it has been rating websites for a long time (much like a PageRank). In fact, if you have the Moz toolbar, you will see the Alexa ranking of a site right there on your SERP. This tool does it all when it comes to spying on your competitors (linking, traffic, keywords, etc.) and is an excellent resource if your competitors are international.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Obtain data on international competitors
• Obtain rankings of websites for an overall picture

Price: The Basic plan is only $9.99/month, the PRO plan is $49/month, and the Advanced plan is $149/month.

• Choose one of 35 reports for data on competitors (trends, traffic, social, etc.)

Price: A basic plan is $500/month if you’re interested in data on competitors

21. Majestic SEO – a tool for backlinks

One of the more popular tools, Majestic SEO allows you to download the link profile for any of your competitors’ sites. This means thousands and thousands of links will be right at your fingertips. You can export the link profile, and then slice it and dice it as you wish.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Download the link profile of any competitor
• Export the link profile and move the data around as you see fit

Price: There is a free option, a Silver plan for $49/month or $499.90/year, a Gold plan for $149.99/month or $1,499.90/year, and a platinum plan for $399.99/month or $3,999.90/year. I recommend checking out their pricing page because it lets you know which types of companies should use which types of plans.

22. The Search Monitor – a tool for keywords

This tool is not nearly as popular as many of the others, but I still think it offers great information. It focuses solely on competitor data. Also, it allows you to monitor affiliates and trademarks. It monitors results from Google, Bing, Yahoo, YouTube, and Baidu along with blogs, websites, forums, news, mobile, and shopping.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Monitor affiliates and trademarks
• View results from Bing, Yahoo, YouTube, and Baidu
• View results from forums, news, mobile, and shopping

Price: There is a Basic package for $299/month, Pro for $499/month, and Ultimate for $799/month. You also can pay a few dollars more for extra keywords. There is an option for an Enterprise package where you call the company and discuss a price.

23. iSpionage – a tool for keywords

This is another keyword monitoring tool that allows you to type in a competitor and see the best performing keywords for organic as well as for PPC (in both Google and Bing), and how much the competitor spends on both organic and paid search. You can see the competitor’s most effective ad copy, and you can look at graphs that compare all of this data.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Analyze best performing keywords of competitors for organic
• Analyze best performing keywords of competitors for PPC (Google and Bing)
• Find out how much competitors spend on paid search and organic
• View the most effective ad copy of competitors
• View the data in graphic form for comparison

Price: The Silver package is $59/month, the Gold package is $89/month, and the PRO package is $129/month.

24. Ontolo – a tool for backlinks

Although often labeled as a backlinks tool, this tool also puts a focus on content marketing. It helps you know how to prioritize your content to keep things moving, learn where to promote your content by identifying authors who link to your content, and gives you suggestions for link-building opportunities. Of course, this is a more advanced tool so there are quite a few more details that go into how it works, which is why I highly recommend their free trial.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Identify authors who link to your content
• Receive suggestions for link-building opportunities

Price: The Solo package is $47/month, the Professional package is $97/month, and the Agency package is $297/month.

25. Link Prospector – a tool for backlinks

This is one of my personal favorites because it’s all about link building and how that relates to your content. You choose your type of report – guest posting, links pages, reviews, donations, content promotions, or giveaways – and then enter your key phrases. A list of link-building opportunities based on what you’re looking for is generated for you.

Best Ways to Use This Tool:

• Get link-building opportunity suggestions

Price: If you are going by the credit system, you can try it for free with one credit, pay as you go with 5 credits for $10, or pay $2 per credit. After those choices, you can choose to select a package, all of which have monthly fees and all of which have a different number of credits and price per credit per month. The consultant package is $27/month, Agency is $47/month, and Enterprise is $97/month. It’s a tad confusing, so definitely check out the website to see their price chart.

The Takeaway

It’s worth mentioning again that the vast majority of the tools above offer a free trial of their upgraded version so you can give them a test run before making any type of purchase. Definitely take a look at the free trials that are offered. If you can’t find one, try emailing the company. You might be surprised at just how many will give you a free trial even if it’s not explicitly offered! In the end, it’s all about trial and error, and determining your goals and your price range, before choosing the tool that works best.

Can You Check Out Your Competitors Without Using Any Tools?

The answer certainly is “yes,” but it does take a little bit of planning and preparation. If you’re not interested in investing in any tools or relying on any free tools, use the help of Google and Bing to find the site owners by doing some advanced query searches. There essentially are two different approaches you may want to take. Both of the following strategies are more advanced “secret cheats,” but they will keep you away from using any tools!

Find all of your competitors’ websites

There are four steps you can follow if you want to find your competitors’ websites:

1. Reverse Google Whois Lookups
2. Perform Reverse IP Lookups
3. Reverse Google AdSense Lookups
4. Reverse Google Analytics Lookups

Making this happen takes some time and thought, so to learn how to complete all of these steps, visit this article from Digital Inspiration.

Find sites hosted on the same server

You can do this easiest with Bing. All you need to do is find the IP address of any website, which you can learn about here, and then go to Bing and type the following into the search box:

ip:<IP Address>

Once you do this, you will be shown a list of all domains that are hosted on the same server as the website you started with, including .com, .net, .in, and many others.
