This week's cool tool is not a software app, but a website. . .

I recently joined Revenews.com, a website that provides marketers with news, advice and analysis. The site covers such topics as affiliate marketing, online marketing, online publishing, search engine marketing, and PPC.

I subscribed to several of their free daily newsletters. Though I get way more information that I can use, some of which is redundant between newsletters, they serve to keep me well-informed.

Workz.com is one of the best online portals I have seen for small and home-based businesses. They provide tons of free articles covering Internet Marketing, provide a small business directory organized by topics, and offer many free website tools. This is a very well-organized site and is updated daily.

Ralph Wilson might be known as the godfather of Internet marketing. He's been doing it since 1995. (Was there an Internet in 1995?) His site has tons of information covering every aspect of marketing on the web. The advice is practical, and particularly good for small businesses.

Check out his site at Web Marketing Today Info Center.

BTW, I'm going to be attending one of his one-day marketing briefings next month in Atlanta. I'm sure I'll come back with lots of stuff.
