USD$100 in hand. Recommend any tools or softwares?

Ok. I have USD$100 from adsense revenue. What softwares or tools that you guys recommend I buy for that amount. Any review or experience using that particular tool will be good since I'm in a shopping mood now.

Better I start of with one.

1. PR Prowler $97 - Functions almost the same as SEO Elite but cheaper. Even Brad Callen recommends it to his subscibers. They even have a 15 day free trial for you to download. Thinking of buying this software but my options are still open.

Well ... depends on what you want to do. If you want to go for SEO ... just get SEO Elite. At least it's proven ...

I believe you cannot pay online since Adsense funds cannot transferred.

What I meant was what if you had $100 in your hand, what tools or softwares would you buy? Anything that is below $100 that maybe you have heard of or you would share.

I can keep the money and blow it off on anything else but I like to 'waste' my money like this You wouldnt want to know all the junk softwares that I bought, regret buying and not using them at all. You know like the page generation softwares and blogging tools and stuff. So before I go and buy maybe you guys have any advice or reviews that might help.

But keep it under $100. Anything above that cannot afford.

NO question about it, I would pay my writers for another $100 of content. It will be much much better investment in the long term than any software could be.

Post #1 stated that learning has $100 from adsense (congrats, BTW). S/He wanted to use that to purchase something. I thought that s/he wanted to directly purchase stuff.

Anyway, back to the topic. Learning, for $100, you really are looking for lots of stuff on the Internet. What you need to do is narrow down to what you intend to spend on. Traffic? PR? SERPs?

My needs are traffic. Lots of traffic.

But you can also suggest anything else. A script that you maybe know off. Or hiring writers like what vince suggested. I want to keep my options open.

OK.. Let's look from your traffic needs aspect.

Purchasing relevant text links will attract visitors to your site. Banners are typically more expensive than text links but garner the most interest.

Good contents will attract visitors through SERPs and this typically last a much longer period compared to advertising.

One more option is through PPC. Use Adwords to get traffic.

I do agree with mysticmind. We Malaysians can write. In fact, I'm writing for a site on a periodical basis.

I bought SEOElite.. it is only good if you are looking for reciprocal link partners... we all know that one way links far outweight reciprocal links now... so to me it is pretty useless...
Just my two cents.

SEOElite is not useless, if you used it properly. The main purpose of SeoElite is to analyse why certain website get No 1 in search engine. What type of anchor text there are using, how many links they get and so on. From there you can copy that website strategy and try to get link same as the No 1 site does.

Reciprocal link is still valid eventhough one way link is better. Do not depend only on one way link, try reciprocal link also and try to make your website look natural in term of link exchange. All No 1 ranking site also doing some reciprocal link eventhough there get more one way link.

* With $100 in hand, I will get 10 quality articles costing maybe $50-$80 and the balance, I subscribe with Isnare.com to submit those quality articles where I put my anchor text link to my website or to my mailing list. This method will bring traffic to your site forever.

Why do you want to hire a writer? Yes they can do quality articles but if we research our topic well enough we can surely come up with a good article. BTW $100 can get how many articles?

What does Isnare do? I've heard people talking bout it. Is it any good? How your experience using it? The result? $$$$ wise?

Reasons:
- save your time
- Let other expert write your article, your job just to promote and market your site
- work smart, don't work hard

If you had more than 30 websites, do you have the time to write articles for all 30 website...not for me.

Isnare is cheap, I think only $10.00 for 5 articles.

I do not use Isnare cause I got my article submission software.

Benefit:
- can get a lot of one way links
- with right anchor text, your targetted keyword will appear in Google Serps as early 2 weeks. Right now I don't believe in Google Sandbox.
- Will bring traffic to your site forever as long as your article is good and get pick up by other webmaster
