Regardless of your business model, there are some external system options that will help you monitor the health of your system while making other activities easier to conduct.

For instance, Google Analytics is one free option that will help you track website traffic and conversions. You can use its features to determine which keyword phrases generated the bulk of your traffic; or you can set up goals to see which products generate the most revenue for you. Google Analytics is a great option for tracking your system’s performance for free.

PayPal is another external system option that allows your customers to make monetary transactions easily and efficiently. PayPal is a safe option that many retailers choose to use.

Finally, OpenX is an external system option we recommend for placing advertisements on your website. OpenX allows you to store your ads on their servers, which can be programmed to appear in a variety of different ways and locations.
