What kind of affiliate tools do you frequently use?

I frequently use the google keyword and phrase analysis tool, as well as the PR checking tool and Link popularity checker. I'm also always installing new add-ons and toolbars to firefox.

What kind of tools do you use to stay on top of your sites?

I like AffiliatesPartner.com because I can use their free page rank checker for up to 100 sites at once.

I use Google trend, Google adword tool, wordtracker and many other tools to maintain affiliate website.

I tend to use Alexa.com a lot for checking the traffic of web sites. This can allow someone to know how many vistiors a site gets per day and that could help in the decision of whether to advertise there.

Alexa has recently been under fire for their accuracy. While they were pretty on top of things when the tool first came out, it seems that they've fallen behind against some of their competitors such as compete.com. Check out this article below:

"Alexa is Becoming Completely Worthless

Alexa is becoming a joke lately. Some people claim that over the previous two years it was already losing reliability, but lately it went completely nuts. Whatever they did on the last algorithm update, it messed up their rankings badly.
I know that many people already ignore Alexa, but most advertisers still consider it when evaluate ad buys on websites, so I think we need to raise the awareness about it, and encourage them to use other available tools to gauge traffic.
The problem emerges when you make comparisons of different websites, and when you bring into the picture other traffic tracking services like Compete.com or Google Trends. I have 5 interesting cases to illustrate this."

With so many more useful toolbars available these days, no wonders Alexa is suffering to get their one installed and used by people. I never liked alexa for their accuracy.

From FireFox tools I like most are: seo toolbar, seo for firefox, screengrab!, firebug, fastefox and web developer toolbar.
