So how does your website look on the various mobile devices people are using these days?

Here is a list of 12 tools that promise to emulate popular mobile web browsers such as Safari, Android and Opera. Note that you may incur data charges if you test your site on an actual mobile phone or mobile-device based emulators.

You want your web visitors to be able to properly see, use and navigate your website, right? Then it only makes sense to test how your site looks and functions in the web browsers used by your web visitors. If your site doesn’t display or function properly you can then make the necessary changes.

On that basis, I recommend you fire up your website analytics program or service and find out what are the most popular web browsers used by your web visitors. You can then do the following:

One of the biggest myths in domain investment is that you can’t make money from parking. Yeah, right. The reality is that you can make impressive returns from parking.

1. Wildfire Social Media Monitor

Wildfire Social Media Monitor lets you see how many Twitter and Facebook followers someone has, and how quickly their follower and fan base has grown over time.

If you run a website, you absolutely MUST be tracking your website traffic and usage. What’s more, with free and full-featured web analytics tools such as Google Analytics available, there’s no excuse not to track your website visitors.

Last week saw Majestic SEO launch Clique Hunter, a search engine optimization (SEO) tool that finds the links between websites within a given vertical. As you might imagine, this is very useful for identifying who is linking to whom and how strong is their relationship within a given industry niche.

Essentially, Clique Hunter lets you choose up to ten websites that compete with each other for a given keyword or market, and then displays the links to these sites. It also indicates the relative strength of a given relationship, depicted by the thickness of the connecting arrow.

Google has just released Instant Previews, which allows you to see a graphical preview of the web pages corresponding to Google’s search results.

According to Google, users of Instant Previews are 5 percent more likely to be satisfied with the search results they click than people who don’t use the technology. This begs the question: what’s the value of a 5 percent increase in the likelihood that users will be satisfied with their Google search experience?
