Webmaster management tool

accounting, marketing, sales, status, etc.

[Tapolyai]

I am looking for a tool, and yet to find one that will do most of what I need.

I have a "couple" of web sites.

I need a tool, that can:

Track accounting, expenses, income sources

Monitor ranking in search engines

Track visitors in various ways

Track marketing efforts - and link them to ranking and visitor traffic

Manage relationship where I am the buyer

Manage relationship where I am the seller

Manage relationship where I traded

Do all this with a web interface

I presume there is no such single product - or one could use external sources to cobble something together.

What do you use to manage your web-site business?
Please, don't tell me Quicken, Quickbooks, Money or Excel spreadsheet.

Although Quickbooks is fine for accounting, I have not had good luck with managing everything else - nor could I make it work through the web.

- Track accounting, expenses, income sources

We ended up hiring a programmer and building our own online accounting, expense and income program. It cost about $500 to build and pulls in data automatically from our online store as well as being able to manually input data and create new revenue sources and expense areas.

- Monitor ranking in search engines

I use a separate tool for this. Do a search for 'free google rankings'.

- Track visitors in various ways

Google Analytics

- Track marketing efforts - and link them to ranking and visitor traffic

Google Analytics

- Manage relationship where I am the buyer
- Manage relationship where I am the seller
- Manage relationship where I traded

Don't know about these. We just use our email pprograms to keep track of our customer relationships. You're probably wanting a CRM type package though.

- Do all this with a web interface

That's a pretty big ask.

As a matter of interest, had you ever heard about such a package existing?

Would there actually be a market for such?

It sounds very much like SAP for web business, probably would cost a ton of money, interesting idea tho

[Tapolyai]

I never heard of something like that.

I do not know how big of a market you would find for it.

If the developer could make a deal with various vendors to provide API the tools, I believe it could be of value.
