0 comments at 5:26 AM

If you are looking for a free, but still very capable accounting sofware package, look no further than Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2008. In recent years Microsoft has been releasing Express versions of it's leading software titles and now it's the turn of Microsoft Accounting.

Even though it's free, Accounting Express is still stuffed with features and is ideal for a home-based business or a small business with 1 or 2 employees. The software includes integration with a number of online financial institutions as well as eBay and is ideally suited to an e-commerce business. Of course, the essential features of invoicing, estimates and payment tracking are included as well as handy cashflow management features.

As you'd expect with software from the biggest PC software developer, if your needs outgrow the Express version, you can upgrade seamlessly to the full version of Microsoft Accounting. To get you started with the Express version, you can import data from QuickBooks and even Microsoft's own Money package.

Microsoft doesn't have a reputation for producing small packages however: be prepared to download over 320Mb to get Accounting Express. And, of course, Microsoft want you to purchase some software - to use Microsoft Accounting Express, you need to have purchased the 2007 versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as well as Business Contact Manager.

Free Directory Submission Software

1 comments at 7:21 AM

If you are interested in improving your Google PageRank and increasing your performance in SERPS, try submitting your website to the many free web directories on the internet. If you want to try out a good, free, easy-to-use tool for submitting your websites to directories, try downloading SliQTool's directory submission software, SliQ Submitter.

What does SliQ Submitter do? Well it's a semi-automatic tool that helps you speed up submitting your websites to directories. SliQ Submitter lists over 2000 web directories and steps you through submitting your website details, directory by directory. When a new directory submit page is loaded, SliQ prefills the fields with your website details. SiQ learns the categories you choose as you submit to directories - the more you submit to, the better chance SliQ has of automatically finding a good category to prefill for you when a new directory is loaded.

Here are a few hints on how to get the most out of submitting your website to a directory.

When you submit to directories you need to specify a good title for your website listing. The title will often be used as the anchor text for the link to your site. If you want to improve search engine performance for a specific set of keywords, use those keyword in the title given to the directory when submitting.

You will also need to provide a good description of your website - about 200 to 300 words. As with the title, you should aim to include good keywords relevant to your website.

Always remember that the directory owner will review your submission before accepting your website into the directory. Resist the temptation to write spammy titles and descriptions. Even though you need to include good keywords, the title still needs to be understandable by the human editor.

Another thing to bear in mind is that you should vary the title and description from directory to directory; if you keep the title and description the same, Google may not index all copies as some will be treated as duplicates.
