Statistics Tools for your Real Estate Website

admin    Google     Estate, Real, Statistics, Tools, Website

There’s a reason popular websites are often so easy to navigate. It’s because the people who build them spend as much time thinking about why they’re popular as they do promoting the website. For real estate professionals, this can be a valuable lesson, much the same as knowing your market when you look for leads. If you’re a real estate agent with a website, you can use a wide variety of free analytics and statistics tools to track online visitors and make your site better. Combined with search engine optimization and traditional marketing techniques, these tools can help make you a lot more successful.

But before you download every piece of site tracking software out there, it’s important to consider exactly what you need for your site. Too much information, or the wrong kind, can still be a bad thing here, and divert your attention away from the most important numbers. For example, blog site traffic might be much more keyword driven than traffic to a well-known service site with a lot of click able imagery – both sites will benefit from different tracking methods.

Using free tools can also make you more adept at reading server logs and stats from your websites hosting provider, which are more reliable, but often less user friendly.

The most popular in-depth analysis tool out there is Google Analytics, which allows you track multiple websites through the same control panel. This plug-in can provide detailed information on a wide variety of traffic metrics, from the “bounce rate” of each page, to more traditional keyword information.

GetClicky is another tool you can use to find in-depth information across your site. Unlike Google Analytics, it keeps stats in real time, rather than an update every 24 hours, so you can see how your site’s performing up to the minute.

More specialized tools that don’t provide comprehensive information include CrazyEgg, 103Bees, Mint, and Feedburner. For Wordpress users, there are also a variety of stats plugins built specifically for the blogging platform, including Open Web Analytics, and Wp-Stats – some Wordpress plugins even have additional plugins to integrate tools like Google Analytics.

Statistics tools are usually free because they allow the developer to see what’s happening on your site, and compile marketing data. So use these tools if you can, but don’t forget to take any unused tools off your site so you aren’t sending valuable information without getting something in return.

Facebook Business Applications and Marketing Tools – Even Create Your Own

admin    Facebook     Applications, business, Create, Even, Facebook, Marketing, Tools

The idea behind using a social networking site as Facebook as a venue for doing business is building a user base in the form of a community who respond to you as a person or to your product. If you just turn your page into one big advertisement, you are not going to get much in the way of a response. You need to educate people about the product without coming across as a hard sell.

You want to create the impression that you are here for socializing, not business. People will come to trust you and be more likely to buy your product or service if you can do this.

Facebook has built in tools which can be used to build your business. These include:

- Social Ads

- Pages

- Beacon

- Insights

- Platform

- Polls

These tools can help you to build awareness of your brand through this social networking site and bring in potential clients. Needless to say, you are going to have to learn to use them effectively. Read on to find out how to harness these tools to build your business using social networking sites.

You can learn how to take further advantage of these features by visiting the facebook website business section.

SOCIAL ADS

Social ads have a lot of promise for building your business since they can go directly to the news feeds of your Facebook friends. Anyone who is on your friends list will be able to get the word about your business right on their profile page.

This is also a very easy way of target marketing. You can control exactly who sees your ads – and target marketing is the way to get sales.

FACEBOOK PAGES

You can make a Face book page for a business, just as you would for yourself. This allows people to interact with and even become friends with your business. It is a great way to make a lot of people aware of your product and your brand who would not otherwise.

You know when someone becomes friends with your business on Facebook that you have a potential client; at the very least, they have shown some interest. People can interact with your business as they would with any of their other social networking site friends – they can leave comments and generally enhance the experience of a visit to your page.

You can use this social networking site to your best advantage by adding features that will appeal to your target market and fit in with the brand image you are aiming to create. Quizzes, games, a Facebook group and so on.

FACEBOOK BEACON

Like social ads, Facebook Beacon gives you the ability to build your business by promoting yourself via your Facebook friends news feeds. You can set Beacon to notify all of your Facebook friends whenever you have a new product available, or any other sort of news or information you would like to disseminate amongst your Facebook friends. All you need to do is to add a little code to your Facebook page (this can be done by copy and paste, so no need to panic).

This encourages more interaction with your page, the website of your business and your company in general. This also helps get the word out about your businesses product or service.

Do not fret that you will be mercilessly spamming your Facebook friends and invading their privacy – they can opt out of these updates at any time they choose. You of course have the same ability for Facebook Beacon updates from others.

FACEBOOK INSIGHTS

If you are using facebook as a method of promoting your business you will of course want to know just who is checking out your Facebook page, clicking on your ads and joining your friends list. Facebook Insights is a tool which can give you a lot more detail on these sorts of statistics, which can help you to evaluate the efficacy of your campaign.

Armed with this information you can make the call as to whether viral marketing is working in your favor. Word of mouth is one of the best means of advertising and Facebook can facilitate it on a large scale. Facebook Insights lets you figure out what parts of your campaign are working and which are not as well as giving you valuable demographic information which will help you refine your campaign further.

FACEBOOK PLATFORM

Facebook Platform is an exciting tool for business indeed. Programmers can use this tool to build programs which will work with Facebook and add to the usefulness and fun of your Facebook page. If people like what you have on your page, they will spread the word and this build your client base.

You can add all manner of different applications to your site using this platform. Many opt for games, quizzes and other interactive features. You can have a look at the Applications page on the Facebook site to get an idea what sort of things others are using the platform for. These kinds of features can really help you build your brand image; take advantage of them.

FACEBOOK POLLS

Facebook polls can be a great way to gather demographic information from people using the site. Since you can make the poll interactive and fun to use, you’ll have no trouble gathering data. Best of all, you can target your polling.

You can make sure your polls are targeted just where you want them to be since you already have access to some data such as marital status and age of your Facebook friends. This helps you keep your polling relevant.

Do not forget about these valuable tools – they can really help out your business.

Anyone who is willing to put in just a little bit of effort can make their own applications for Facebook. You just need to learn Facebook Markup Language – there are plenty of tutorials online which can help you learn the ropes of this quickly.

Remember to have a look through what is already out there in terms of Facebook applications before you develop your own. If everyone is already using a very similar application, not too many of your fellow facebook users will be enticed by it. Do something a little different if you want to grab the attentionof people.

CREATING APPLICATIONS FOR BUSINESS

With just a little bit of programming know how, anybody can make and distribute their own applications. You’ll be doing this to build your business and it can make a big difference. Applications can really draw in people and keep them on your site. Games are especially popular and can build your brand while keeping users engaged and entertained.

You would be unwise to neglect the use of these applications available to you through Facebook. They can help get the word out about your business – and that is why you made a Facebook page for your business in the first place, no?

You will also be building a sense of community amongst all of these potential customers which will help you get sales.

Here are a few tips for getting the best results from your applications:

1) Make it relevant

In marketing, relevancy is everything. If your potential customers can not get into it, or if it is unclear how the application ties into your product or service, rethink your application.

2) Privacy policy

Even if they are on facebook to socialize, people still want their privacy to be respected. This is why there are friend lists and groups, to which one must be invited. Privacy is a natural human desire and Facebook facilitates this while still allowing for socialization. Remember to respect the privacy of users and retain that trust you have worked so hard to build with them.

3) Free distribution

Once your application is finished and ready to go, you will distribute it. You can do this by listing it on the site along with all of the other Facebook applications and then invite others to install it. If your facebook friends like your application, they will spread the word.

Website 101: Google Commands You Need to Know (part 1 – Web Masters Tools)

admin    Google     Commands, Google, Know, Masters, Need, Part, Tools, Website

Knowing these commands can give you a significant advantage when doing online research or when you are researching keywords for your website.

What is a Google Search Command?

It is a command word that you can optionally include in your Google search that instructs the search engine to handle your words in a special way. Below is a list of the some commonly used commands that may come in useful.

LINK

The link command lists pages that link to the site (page) you specify. (These kinds of links are called Inbound Links).

Webmasters use this command a lot to gauge how many inbound links exist to their website.

When you type the command make sure that you don’t leave a space after the ink: command and your site address. It should look like link:www.syncrony.com .

Google limitations:

1) Google used to limit returned results to pages having a PageRank of over 3 or 4. This limitation has been removed a long time ago.

2) Link results are not real-time results and are usually delayed by about a month.

Trick: You can use :www.syncrony.com to return a (usually) larger list of linked sites that is also usually more up to date than link:

Tip: You can exclude a site from the link: search by adding the site address using the -site: command. Like this: link:www.syncrony.com -site:google.com . This will exclude and Google links from the links search.

SITE:

The site: command restricts search results to the specified sub-domain. You can specify just the domain and get all pages indexed for the domain or you can specify an search term. If you specify a search term Google will return all instances of the term from the specified domain.

So for a list of all occurrences of Syncrony.com you would type site:syncrony.com. This would return all pages indexed for syncrony.com.

For a list of all occurrences of the search term “web design” in the domain syncrony.com you would type site:syncrony.com web design .

The command can be used for a global look at a search term in your geographical area. Like site:co.za web design . This would return all indexed pages that contain the words “web design” in the co.za domain.

INTITLE

The title of a web page is a very important piece of text both for Google’s search purposes and for the site owner. The title is the text that appears in the topmost (usually blue) bar of your web browser.

Google keeps an index of just the intitle text and you can search this index using the intitle command.

The lesson for the webmaster is that each page should have unique title text and that the title text is important. This text must contain an important keyword or keyword phrase because it will be indexed and will be available for search using the intitle: command.

An intitle search usually returns much fewer results that a general search does. Always do a check for the keywords you are planning to use with and without the intitle command. A highly useable keyword may present itself by having few results in an intitle search.

SITE and INTITLE Together

Now you know them as individual commands, you can quickly learn to combine them for even more valuable results.

intitle:Milk Thistle site:co.za

This will return all occurrences of “milk thistle” in the title bars of all sites in the coza domain.

Social Media Keyword Tools

admin    Social Media     Keyword, Media, Social, Tools

It is all about the keywords right? Well not really. It is actually all about the demographics each keyword represents. When someone searches Google for “seattle real estate” you have to put yourself in the mindset of the searcher. Who searches for that phrase? It could be a prospect for a home, a real estate agent checking local properties, or a real estate broker looking for a new recruit. Assuming a keyword will generate a return on investment for the time and budget it takes to have an organic result in the search engine may be a monolithic mistake.

Rather than think entirely “in the box” of search terms and keywords, think demographics. Think target market.

Consider social media a chance to explore your target market. One keyword leads to another, leads to another. Within a few steps you may discover that your best prospect for your business may be two or three levels removed from where you have been trying to reach them.

Example: Real estate professionals always want to show up for “city state real estate” as a term. Yet often they need to reach a person much earlier in the process. A real estate transaction is a relationship based sales process taking one to twelve months. There are indicators online regarding what people do before buying a home. They get married. They find a new job. They get divorced. They have kids. They go to school.

Social Media generates an entirely new set of keywords to compare and look at in the “big picture”

demographics

hobbies and interests

family connections

friend networks

Taking the real estate example: You can look at schools, churches, major employers, lawyers, hospitals and create a niche for themselves in a strong and consistently producing category. For instance Boeing, Idearc, AT&T, Comcast, Amazon, Microsoft, etc are all heavily present in the Seattle area. More importantly, some of those companies have huge employee groups clustered around certain neighborhoods.

How do I find my niche? Think out of the Box

There are a variety of tools out there that will help you with keyword research and drawing some basic conclusions. There are different categories of tools that can be used together or individually, they will help you discover:

the popularity of your keyword

who is talking about your niche (and the people involved in the conversation)

keyword synonyms and related terms (One letter may make all the difference)

niche industry trends and traffic patterns

Keyword Research Tools

-Google AdWords Keyword Suggestions- Use the Keyword Tool to get new keyword ideas. It works with providing keywords based on words or phrases and can also recommend based on site content.

-Google Traffic Estimator- a very simple to use traffic tool. You can dump in a list of hundreds of keywords or phrases and see what choices make sense for your next article.

-WordTracker – Wordtracker is the best non-google system, however it requires you to purchase a membership to get real usage out of the tool (and I am a fan of free/low cost)

Competitive Keyword Tools

-Compete.com Search Analytics – Identifies rival search marketing strategies to take your SEM and SEO efforts to the next level. Also defines traffic patterns on competitor sites.

-KeywordSpy – shows terms that competitors are buying or ranking for in the organic search results, including pay per click ad text.

-KeyCompete – shows pay per click words that competitors are buying.

Social Media Specific

-TweetVolume , TweetScan, Summize all give insight to Twitter. They can show you how much a keyword is being talked about and the associated terms that are drawn to it.

-del.icio.us tag page- StumbleUpon tags – - The most popular tags (keywords) can be seen in clusters of information.

-BlogCatalog Directory – MyBlogLog Directory – are both massive directories of sites that have been tagged by a member community. You can quickly search for a term, see associated terms on a site, and popular members on each site that may be influencers.

-IceRocket Trends – Technorati Tags – Useful for seeing keyword trends (Icerocket) and authority value (Technorati- the number of sites linking to another site)

Tools For Twitter

admin    Twitter     Tools, Twitter

Twitter is not just a social site where people can tweet about their status all day long; it is also a valuable marketing and business tool that many companies are just beginning to see the significance of.  Here are several tools that you can use along with Twitter for marketing, statistics, easier communication with your customers, etc.

Want to find out what people think of your product?  Need to name your new flavor?  Try using Twtpoll.com.  “Twtpoll is a simple survey/poll Twitter application that can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, or email.”

Mr. Tweet is another tool that “helps you easily build meaningful relationships by looking through your network and tweets.”  This site is great for building the kind of community that turns a good website into a great one with dedicated fans.  Twitter Friends is a similar tool that helps you connect with people.  Since Twitter is chiefly a social medium, the social aspect cannot be discounted especially if you are trying to build a successful marketing campaign.  Want to know how authoritative and effective your tweets are?  Twitter Grader quickly and easily “measures the power of a profile.”  For businesses, this is an extremely helpful tool.

Ever find it hard or confusing to sort through the many conversations going on through your Twitter stream?  Tweetree solves this problem by arranging your stream so you can see and reply to posts in context.  This allows saves you the time of having to click over to each friend or customer’s post.  Another tool that is analogous is Twitterless which graphs who stops following you and your follower history so you can see if you are gaining followers, losing them, and when.

“Happytweets is a measuring stick for how positive, or happy, a particular Tweep is.  Enter the Twitter username for you or one of your buddies, click the “get happy” button, and you’ll find out how happy your Tweets are.”  Trends are a big item on Twitter.  Current news events, people, and just general thoughts are all being tweeted at an amazingly fast rate.  To keep up with all the trends, Retweet Radar was created to give you daily or hourly trends and top retweets that people are passing along.

Amazing Google Tools

admin    Google     Amazing, Google, Tools

Googlo!Google.Things sure change fast.Once an abscure mathematical concept,the new age respelled and capitalized avatar is the search engine that has come from nowhere to become the search engine of choice,and even an accepted english verb!Heck i have a confession to make and now’s as good a time as any – i love google!

Why you may ask?whay am i wasting precious newsprint proclaiming a much-repeated cliche?Let me explain.Its not about the pleasing lack of banner advertising in its search results or for that matter that the management vehemently promotes its fundamental guideline:Don’t Be Evil.” its probably the intuitive accuracy with which Google ferrets out the information people are actually looking for.Or maybe it’s just that i can’t even remember how we managed when the entire world wasn’t indexed and instantly available.

Truth be told,Googleis what a lot of us really want the internet to represent-information that is fast and free.As a business,this is precisely where other players have messed up and are playing catch up now.Strange as it may sound in the industry in which it operates,Google built on what one could call a second mover advantage.

Getting there is one thing and as yahoo must’ve learnt the hard way,staying there is quite another.It’s not surprising then that as a general practice,Google also requires that its engineers spend 20 percent of their time working on personal technology projects.Give a bunch of really smart guys that kind of freedom,agreed even Google suggests that the ideas in this technology playground aren’t ready for primetime but given their track record of products staying perennially in beta (Gmail) some of this stuff is too compelling to ignore.

Google Suggest

http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en

If you love autoComplete,you’re going to dig this!Take a regular Google search and throw in an algorithm to predict the user queries based on overall popularity from the database that it maintains to track ’search trends’.As you type,the suggestion appears in a drop down menu.Type in ‘Chip’ and Google suggest refines the from down list to suggest anything from chips to chippendales along with the number of results against each alternative.What really rocks is that displaying this list is obviously a computationally intensive task,and it’s achieved in near real time!

Perfect for those times when you want to peep into the guts of Google and see how other users think and search.And of course as creator Kevin Gibbs puts it,it “makes it easier to type in your favorite searches.

Google Scholar

Http://scholar.google.com

If you’re the sort who thinks going to a library to pull up research papers is a real drag,Google scholar is for you.While it claims to index everything from peer-reviewed papers,theses,books,preprints,abstracts and technical reports in many areas of research,it offers only some of what you would expect from a library database.The convenience of the one-box-fits-all-interface is very compelling and what’s really promising is that for the first time,Google spiders have crawled into password-protected subscription-based content to provide abstracts of hitherto uncrawled academic material.

when spidering the content,Google spiders also identify authors of the papers as well as the formal titles of the papers and other documents that cite the material.The citation go as inputs to the special ranking algorithm to establish the popularity and connection between two otherwise link-disconnected articles.

Google may simply have hit the sweet spot for research students and faculty the world over – not by providing new material but by exposing material that was till now invisible to our day and age.No longer will Google be merely indexing the web;it will be adding vast amounts of content as well.

Google Print

http://print.google.com

Drawing inspiration from the scholar project,Google engineers collaborated to form Google Print.If the material you’re searching for deos not actually exist online,and enough papers reference it,Google provides a handy Library search that searches libraries for offline books.

And that’s not all.As we go to print,Google has begun a massive digitization project with five libraries:stanford,University of Michigan,Harvard,Newyork Public Library and Oxford – estimated to cost upwards of $150 million and over five years to digitize.Copyright material will of course only be available as bibliographic information and snippets of text but books in the public domain will be fully searchable and if you still prefer the smell of dead trees,printable.

Of course geek humor will still prevail at Google.Seen on the Google Print home page:”No library books were harmed during the making of these digital copies”.

Personalized Web Search

http://labs.google.com/personalized/

Nifty,very nifty stuff.Privacy issues asid,personalized search lets you create your own profile of interests (such as technology,open source).Now when you search on the personalized web search page you can drag a slider to show personalized results.

Take it out for a spin.I entered Open Source as an interest.then searched for nothing but ‘news’.Without personalization,i get BBC.com:with maximized personalization,i got to see technology blog Slashdot in the top spot.

Google stores personalized profiles by setting a cookie,oblitering the need for logging in time and again.

Google Alerts

http://www.google.com/alerts

Kevin Gibbs wasn’t kidding if you’re so lazy that you would rather get Google to tell you when your search results change in Google news or Web Search,so be it Google Alerts sends you e-mail anytime there are new Google results for your search terms.All you’ve got to do is visit the Alerts page,enter your search and the frequency of checking and your e-mail address.very neat if you’re tracking a breaking news story or want the latest dope on that girl you saw on TV the other day.

Google Desktop Search

http://desktop.google.com

yeah,yeah.Much have been said about the google destop search everywhere.Google Desktop search indexes and searches files on your windows PC so fast.

Reviews say Google’s isn’t the best,but it’s good enough and it will improve,as will competition.The state of desktop search woefully inadequate for so many now is going to get much,much better.

Google Compute

http://toolbar.google.com/dc/offerdc.html

SETI lovers unite!.if you search for extra terrestrial intelligence has yielded nothing but colorful patterns on your computer all these years,it’s time to devote your spare computing cycles to a nobler cause-through the process known as distributed computing,where a processor downloads a small piece of a large research project and performs calculations on it much like thousands of other client.

Folding@home,stanford funded project to understand the nature and structure of proteins to better diagnose and treat illnesses,is the first recipent of the Google Compute project and if this is what it takes to help humanity,E.T can wait.

Google Voice Search

http://labs1.google.com/gvs.html

Google on the telephone?Yup crazy as it may sound you dial the Voice Search phone number,speak your keywords and then click on the indicated link.It’s still experimental and doesn’t always work.

Cool Tools

http://www.google.com/htlp/features.html

If you thought Google was only about search think again!Here are some of the cool things the plain white page can do-all these have at some point of time or the other graduated from Google Labs.Not bad for employee projects,eh?

Cached Links: Useful,especially when the site has since disappeared from the World Wide Web,Google’s cached Links bring the page back to life.CPR for the web eh?

Shopping-froogle and Catalogs: Indexes products from online stores and more than 6,000 paper catalogs in a searchable index.

Then what else surf over to http://www.googleguide.com/searchengines/google/searchleader.html.

That said,Google lab projects may suddenly disappear at any time out of lack of user interest,or lack of stability or that they were so popular that Google servers went on strike.

If one could call a search engine ’sexy’,then Google would be the pinup power search glam boy of the world wide web.

Benefit From the Tools of Twitter

admin    Twitter     Benefit, From, Tools, Twitter

Everyone is talking about Twitter. This rapidly growing site is even expanding language: “Tweets”, “Re-tweeting”,”Twittermance”..I’m sure there is much more Twitter slang that I am unaware of at the moment. The real point is, Twitter’s time in the spotlight has finally come. Although to many of us it may feel like Twitter magically appeared just recently, the company behind this social site was actually created back in 2006!

Twitter was created as yet another social site where friends and family could maintain their relationships while living busy lives. However, because of the openness of the site, anyone can find anybody and follow their “tweets”. This aspect of the social site has opened the doors for businesses to head down another social media marketing path. Here, we’re going to look at a few tools that you can use in your Twitter marketing campaigns. Just remember! This IS a social site and therefore if you utilize any tools to create hard sell type information, it is unlikely you will gain followers – or business.

Twiddeo is a powerful but simple service that let’s you do one thing very well: Twitter updates with Video.

To get started using Twiddeo, you must first have a Twitter account, of course! Using your Twitter username and password, you then log in to the Twiddeo site. From here, you can upload video from either your computer, from your cell phone, or from your Webcam. Webcam video posts are for those who are super confident in their abilities to get their message out quickly and eloquently on the first try – there is no editing here!

Uploading videos is a quick and simple way to keep in touch with your Twitter followers. And since so many people prefer to watch videos over reading text of any sort, video is an incredible format in which to get your message – and your face – seen by consumers every single day. Furthermore, there are those who write and those who speak. We all have our own innate talents. If yours is the spoken word, go with it and capitalize on the video marketing techniques you can use on Twitter!

Using Twitterfeed, you can get your blog (or any other RSS or Atom feed) sent directly to the popular micro-blogging platform. In addition to posting your desired feed directly to Twitter, this service also posts to identi.ca, custom laconica installations, and via HelloTxt or Ping.fm simultaneously to the many platforms supported by these services. I don’t claim to know all of the services out there, but luckily this article is mainly focusing on the Twitter platform.

The thing about using Twitterfeed is that you will need to also have an Open ID. This is a free service that basically sets you up with one ID that you can use to login to all of the password protected websites you use on a regular basis. You may be able to just use your blog login on Twitterfeed, but it will take a little figuring out. This just might be a project you want to outsource!

Because Twitter is a social site that seems to be clambering forward full steam ahead, there are certainly many more tools and applications that will emerge as time goes on. For now, find those tools that best suit your marketing needs and run with them!

Clear Google Search History and Clear Yahoo Search History Tools

admin    Google     Clear, Google, History, Search, Tools, Yahoo

The computer is a great means of accessing whatever information needed through the internet. When a person surfs the internet, the URLs of all the visited sites are stored in a cache folder. Though it is possible to clear the history of sites visited by clearing the browser history, it is only with the help of good internet eraser software that it is possible to completely get rid of these files.

This is because all visited sites and personal information you reveal on the internet is stored in a hidden file. Moreover, by clearing the browser history of the computer, it only makes these ‘deleted’ URLs end up in some hidden files of the computer. It is only with the help of an internet eraser software program that it is possible to erase all encrypted information found in the computer.

There is basically not much required or needed for a person to install an internet eraser in the computer. In fact, it is important for the person who has a habit of surfing the internet regularly to have an internet eraser software installed in the computer. There are many sites on the internet that offer internet eraser software programs to be installed in your computer. You just have to visit these sites, download the internet eraser software in the computer and the software gets to work immediately.

The importance of an internet eraser software lies in the fact that when you browse the internet, you may come across unwanted or wrong information. Sometimes, you may also be wrongly accused of something because of the presence of this illicit or illegal information in your computer. This is why it is better to have an internet eraser software installed in the computer as it immediately rids the computer of any unwanted and illegal information.

It is not necessary for you to have all the URLs you visit erased with the internet eraser software. Most internet eraser software come with the provision of deleting each IE address one at a time. There may be some URLs that are used the most and should be left in the computer to save you time of retyping the URL when using them. So with the help of an internet eraser software program, it is possible to erase unwanted and dangerous URLs individually.

One of the main reasons you have to have an internet eraser software installed is so that there is no identity theft. There are many identity thieves on the internet who gain access to your personal information and use it without your information to commit fraud and theft. They can use this personal information to gain access to companies and banks managed by you, and use whatever funds and information found here wrongly.

With an internet eraser software installed the speed of the computer is greatly increased. This is because the internet eraser software program erases unwanted files and folders from the computer with which it is possible to recover lots of valuable hard disk space from the computer to be used in any other applications.
