10 Tips Choosing and Buying Domain Name
2008-05-20 03:16:00
Web hosting and domain names go hand in hand. Kind of like left over turkey and hot sauce.Without one you can not have the other - so I figured it would be nice to know how to find at least one half of that equation. Shopping for domain names can be a tricky task indeed. Hopefully though, with this guide by your side you should be a little more prepared for what is in store for you.1. Search for Your Desired Domain NameOne of the first things you are going to want to do, after you figure out what domain you want, is to figure out if it is available or not. Now most domain name registers will give you a box to search from. Here are some of my other alternative favorites to do that work for you.2. Don?t Pick a Hyphenated Domain Name Think of ten of your favorite Web sites. Do any of them have hyphenated domain names? No. The first reason is, is that hyphenated domain names are really hard for folks to remember. When picking a good domain name, you want to find something short, relevant...

10 Tips For Getting Backlinks
2008-04-05 18:42:00
Inbound links, usually referred to as IBLs or backlinks are essential if a Website is to become popular and rise to the top of the SERPS (Search engine results pages), and over time, a site with plenty of quality content will naturally get linked to by related sites. This is all well and good, but if you are in a hurry to build Web traffic (and who isn?t?) it is useful to know that there are some things we can do to speed things along.Before embarking on your link building strategy be aware that some of these methods are open to abuse which could have a negative effect or even get your site banned, so please excercise some common sense and only submit your site?s link when it is relevant and reasonable to do so.So without further ado, here are my 10 tips for obtaining search engine friendly outside links:1 - Find online forums related to your site and become part of the community (along with a suitable signature that links to your site).2 - Add comments to blogs with a link to relat...

Removing / changing the powered by Joomla! footer message
2008-03-12 08:29:00
Although we all know what a great content management system Joomla is, sometimes situations call for the link not to be visible in your website footer. To remove this from the default (1.0.x) template, you need to browse via ftp or otherwise to the file includes/version.php.Open it with your favourite editor, find the $URL line and change it to your liking. If you want nothing at all leave the line as $URL = '' (2 apostrophes). Do not remove the whole line because you might break your template.This applies to the default template (rhuk_solarflare_ii). Other templates are likely to not use the URL and use their own links. You would have to use some kind of software on your local installation which looks within text files, and search for the text you want to change. Once you find it, you can change it to suit your needs.

Top 20 Tips for Beginner Bloggers
2008-01-05 10:09:00
1 Choose a topic that you know, like, and are passionate about. This way you will never get bored and will keep your audience always interested and asking for more.2 Pick a topic where there is not a lot of competition. If your topic is too common, try addressing it from a particular angle or focus on a specific niche. For example, there are many sites that talk about cars, but few that specialize in only one brand, and even fewer that focus on only one model. The key to be successful is to find a specific enough topic with a large enough audience.3 Open a Blogger account. It is free and easy to use. That way, you won?t have to invest in costlier platforms like MovableType or TypePad before you have the chance of finding out if blogging is for you.4 Use a minimalist template, preferably one with a white background. This format is easier to read and pleasant to the eye when you combine it with color pictures.5 Use pictures to dress up your blog entries and give your blog a more profe...

10 Spam Stopping Techniques For Your Blog
2007-12-20 19:09:00
Spam is one of those features that comes with a blog and stopping it isn?t quite as easy as it should be. Here are a few ideas to help you out. 1. Install Akismet - This has to be one of the best plugins. The downside is they?d like you pay if you get a ton of spam. After all, it is the nice thing to do. For the average user though, it?s free. 2. Install Spam Karma (WP)- Excellent plugin that can stop a flood of spam comments. It works great and it?s completely free. 3. Install a captcha. It can be as easy as 2+2=? or it could be one of those letter puzzles. Personally I prefer the math ones as long as it?s not something like ?What?s 28×5?. Keep it simple as I think 2+8 works just as good. 4. Have some fields required. Make sure that you are requiring Name and Email for any comments. I don?t think it helps much, but it?s better than leaving it wide open. 5. Use the Blacklist - Some words just don?t belong in blog comments. If you think of some ?adult? terms you?d like to k...

What Is Google PageRank? How Does PageRank Affect Your Site?
2007-12-11 10:20:00
PageRank, which is largely based upon the number and quality of backlinks a webpage has, is an important factor in how well a particular webpage ranks within the Google search results. Since webmasters can spend much of their time worrying about PageRank, an important question is: how important is PageRank, really?PageRank Only One Piece of a Larger PuzzleMany webmasters will tell you from experience that other factors besides PageRank, such as keyword density and placement, have taken a larger role in website ranking. No one will argue that PageRank has become irrelevant, but there is significant evidence to suggest that PageRank is not quite as important of a factor in website ranking as it once was.he tool returns regular Google query results with one interesting addition ? they also give the pagerank for every webpage. Thus, you can type in any word or phrase and see the pagerank of those webpages that rank well (or not so well) for that keyword. Looking at the results, you prob...

Top 10 Biggest Web Design Mistakes
2007-12-11 02:45:00
In the world of web design, there are plenty of mistakes you can make, and in this article, I'm going to look at what I believe to be the top 10 biggest. You need to check your site for these mistakes right now, and fix them if they're there- otherwise you're going to be annoying your visitors and driving them away from your site. * Unclear Layout and Navigation. Many websites, especially business sites, seem to suffer from some kind of disease where even the very simplest task takes ten steps to achieve. If people are emailing you to ask you how to do things on your site, then you need to improve your layout and navigation. Remember: if there are certain tasks people seem to want to do more often, put them on the front page. * Plugin Overload. You've got to keep media that uses plugins to a strict maximum of one per page: that means that if you've got Flash, then you can't have a media player, or if you're using Java then you can't have Flash. It's not as b...

Tips for PPC Campaigns
2007-12-06 19:22:00
We?re going to use Christmas as an example;1.Think ahead - if you are selling products for Christmas, don?t start in November - you need to plan ahead and start your campaign in June or July. This way you can monitor your feedback from customers and continue to tweak your results ready for the rush.2. Know your market - Are there products or toys that are going to be this Christmas ?must have? - if so, plan to include this in your campaign. Don?t just go for Christmas presents as it?s an ambiguous term - try to narrow your market down. As a result of this you will be delivering more targetted traffic to your pages and increase the chances of lucrative sales.3.Securing the deal - Make the page that your advert is linked to, relevant to the advert. Advertising Barbie dolls and then linking to a shop is not good enough - people will click off and not come back. Make sure that the page is 100% spot-on relevant.

8 Successfull SEO techniques
2007-12-06 05:23:00
1) Title Tag - The title tag is the most powerful on-site SEO technique you have, so use it creatively! What you place in the title tag should only be one thing, the exact keyword you used for the web page that you are trying to optimize. Every single web page should have it's own title tag.Seo Tips2) ALT Tags - ALT tags were meant to be for text browsers because the images didn't show in text browsers and the ATL tags would tell the visitor what it's about. You should put your main keyword(s) in the ALT tags, but don't over do it because you could get dropped in the results or even worse banned for life!3) Link Popularity - Link popularity is the most powerful SEO tool out of all them. Most search engines don't even consider web sites if there is not at least one or two links pointing to the web site. Having another site(s) link to your web site is important when it comes to getting your site a good ranking. Your keywords should be in the links you get and keep the keywords sh...

Wrapper Tip - Joomla
2007-12-04 03:14:00
What can I do with a wrapper? - While working on my first joomla project for a client, I ran into several things he needed that didn't quite fit into joomla as easily as I would have liked them to. For example, I needed a fanclub sign up form. At first I tried pasting in my source code for a form into a static content page. Then, I went back into the page to edit it and - whoa! it integrated itself into the admin gui. I can't explain how exactly this looked, but try pasting form html into a static page and you'll soon see it won't work. Now, there are several mods and components out there that allow you to put in a form (facile form) but these seemed to have too many options to learn in order to make it happen. Perhaps it's just me being lazy or dumb (take your pick), but I did'nt have the time to figure out these mods. What I ended up doing that was quick and easy, create your own form.html page outside your joomla, on your server, and just enter the path to your form.html in...

How do search engines work?
2007-11-28 05:24:00
The term "search engine" is often used generically to describe both crawler-based search engines and human-powered directories. These two types of search engines gather their listings in radically different ways.Crawler-Based Search Engines Crawler-based search engines, such as Google, create their listings automatically. They "crawl" or "spider" the web, then people search through what they have found.If you change your web pages, crawler-based search engines eventually find these changes, and that can affect how you are listed. Page titles, body copy and other elements all play a role.Human-Powered DirectoriesA human-powered directory, such as the Open Directory, depends on humans for its listings. You submit a short description to the directory for your entire site, or editors write one for sites they review. A search looks for matches only in the descriptions submitted.Changing your web pages has no effect on your listing. Things that are useful for improving a listing with a sea...

Why Keywords Are Vital To An Seo Campaign?
2007-11-21 08:13:00
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the optimization of a web page in order that it ranks higher in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) for specific keywords or keyword phrases. The pages that rank higher typically gain the greater amount of search engine traffic compared to pages ranked lower for the same keyword. The majority of web users click on one of the top 5 results on the first page when they complete a search. As such, the ultimate goal of any SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) is to gain one of these coveted top spots, with the number one ranking being the primary objective. Targeting Keywords However, a top position for any keyword won't suffice. In order to increase your ROI, it is vital to ensure that you target the most appropriate keywords for your pages, and for your business. While generic, or very general topic keywords, may have the highest number of searches conducted in a month they are also the most competitive and typically least productive. Compe...

Absolutely not, but for those new to PPC it should serve as good place to start.

The more competitive the keyword, the more expensive your clicks will be. While you're finding out which keywords are too expensive you'll come across some that aren't being targeted heavily by advertisers. Take a good look at these - they may be your keys to a successful niche campaign. 2) Don't bunch your ad groups.You should be striving to separate your ad groups by keyword.

Of course being first won?t help you if you don?t have anything worthwhile to say - so read on?.. (warning: being first all of the time can be quite annoying both for the blogger whose blog you?re commenting on as well as other readers.
