LinkSurvey - Whether for home or for work, LinkSurvey is a fully-loaded link popularity tool that is a must for any Webmaster. Just enter in the Website(s) for which you want to check the link popularity, and hit the start button. Immediately, LinkSurvey sends a query out to many popular search engines and displays the results in a table format. From there, you can use the built-in, multi-tabbed Web browser to check out the Web sites that have linked to the site in question. This is a great way to meet new Web friends, or, if you run a business, a great way to see who's linking to your competitors' sites. LinkSurvey will also let you export your results to a text, HTML, or Excel file for easier review.

ClickTracks - ClickTracks displays website visitor behavior directly on the pages of your website. It's a completely new web stats method that improves over traditional log file analysis. You can see campaigns, site navigation and ROI instantly. ClickTracks uses a radically different architecture that makes it easy for marketers to locate customer behaviour data that is difficult or impossible to obtain using earlier methods of web analytics.
