Now that your site is up, the next question seems to be “how do I get more traffic?” This usually leads to a discussion about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Creating my Weekly Web Tools podcast, I often ran across many free tools for SEO at the Seo Book website. There is plenty of free information that they used to sell their book. ($79)

Now the book has grown into a series of tutorials to get you “in the know” quickly, as well as a community that will trade secrets. The cost is $100 a month.

This is a cool tool that you can try for free. If you have more than three clients its $14 a month and it can really cut down on the time to invoice. I’m playing with it write now (I’ve been working on this podcast for .925 (and I’m not done).
