WebSite Promo: Paid Inclusion

Filed under: Web Site Promotion

Paid inclusion is a service that can be utilized via the Internet. More specifically, paid inclusion is a marketing product found on most search engines, except for Google. Paid inclusions involve search engine companies charging fees for including various websites to be a part of their search indexes.

There is a fee structure for paid inclusion. The fee structure for paid inclusion has two basic functions. The fee structure is both a filter against not needed submissions and a money maker. The fee covers a yearly subscription for one webpage which will be automatically catalogued and updated regularly. People who wish to use paid inclusion must also be aware that a per click fee may apply because each search engine is different.

Many search engines such as Yahoo like to mix it up a bit by combining paid inclusion with their results from web crawling. People who dislike paid inclusion claim that it causes searches to base their results on what is economically best for the website instead of what are in the best interest the users of that website.

What is Video Hosting Service ?

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

Video hosting also known as Video sharing permits an Internet user to upload specific video clips to any website. The clip is stored in the host’s server and then other Internet users can see the video. These video hosting service websites have become increasingly prevalent on the Internet today because many people do not have their own web page to put these video clips on.

More and more people are also pulling these video clips down from their camera phones. Some people will make a DVD of the clip. Watch for resolution though, some of the phones don’t have a high resolution. In today’s market however, most broadband connections can handle the quality of the camera phone’s video. YouTube has become quite famous for this application.

YouTube contains a lot of copyrighted material that people have made themselves and don’t wan copied. Although you might find some companies that want you to give them partial ownership since they are hosting your video for you. Wikipedia encourages videos that can be used and reused by the general public. They discourage charging for videos at any rate.

Web Site Design tips and methods

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

Web sites are used to store information for other people with similar interests to look at. By arranging and creating many designs or using designs already out there, you can make your own website. Most website have multiple pages. They will have a HOME page, and then the sky is the limit as far as how pages you want on your site.

Due to the Internet, information is getting easier and easier to find every day with the numerous websites out there that have to do with any one topic. Commercial websites usually are trying to draw in your traffic because they want you to see their products and buy. Non-commercial websites are everyday people making a site to tell about them selves or their favorite band or television show.

There are basic principles to follow when creating your own website. First, the content should be relevant to the site name and be as factual as possible. Second, the site should be friendly to the user. Some sites can lead you down a maze and you never find your way back. Third, the appearance of your web pages will draw your audience in. Make sure everything is free flowing and bright. Make sure there is consistency on all your pages. Lastly, make sure your website title has specific keywords that people will be looking for in their searches. This is how you gain traffic by using common keywords to get people there.

Once you have all your pages linked and a URL formed, you are ready to go. Uploading the site to an FTP client will help you garner more traffic to your site. You can also submit the site to Yahoo or Google to use as well.

Web hosting service scope

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

There are many options in regard to hosting. The most basic type is a host for a simple, single webpage. This is best if you have a personal web page. The web host will allow for the uploading of small files either by the FTP method (File Transfer Protocol) or by a web interface that allows an upload. The method of uploading files is most often included as a free service to customers of Internet service providers.

The next level up is a small web site. This type of hosting is suitable for small business or informational web sites. For this type of site, you can find free hosting if you agree to have advertisement on your page. Keep in mind the advertisements shown will not provide any revenue for you. You can also choose to obtain an advertisement free site for a small fee from other hosting providers.

Corporate or large business websites may require a more professional, polished look with many features and capabilities that smaller sites do not need. This type of hosting is usually more costly. This business web site will most often include database support and application development platforms such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript and ASP.NET. Webmasters will be able to write their own scripts (HTML or Java) for forums and elements such as content management. If a site is selling products or services online, a SSL is required. An SSL is a well known and trusted method for managing the security of communication transmissions on the Internet. Hosting for corporate professional sites is usually handled by specialized hosts for this purpose.

For any type of hosting, the host may make available controls so that the web page or web site can be managed. Changes can be made, additional text or images added, colors adjusted and so forth. Some hosting sites allow for email services that are directly linked to the web site.

When looking for web hosting companies, it is suggested to do your research. There are many hosting services available and cheaper is not always better. A hosting service will be no good to you if their hosting ability goes down, even temporarily. Each minute, hour and day that the hosting is down is time that your web site is not on the Internet. You will want to find a host that offers 24 hour customer service and tech support. You may wish to call customer service numbers to be sure that they are operational. Beware of testimonials you may find while searching; many are hidden sales pitches by affiliate marketing.

Website Planning – how to make a site

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

Designing a website may sound easy but once you get started it can become pretty complex. To make the process easy website, it is a good idea to practice a website planning. Make sure the purpose of the website is clear as your entire page revolves around it.

The website must contain text, images, videos etc that is related to your topic and easy to comprehend by your audience.

Four basic characteristics are to be kept in mind when it comes to your viewers starting with audience personality, information inclination, computer configuration and Web experience. The content must be organized in such a way that it all seems connected once the viewer is finished reading.

Due to the wide variety of web browsers available, this results in supporting text and file extensions.
So make sure you use valid XHTML, 1024×768 display resolution for compatible view. The best way to get all of these things right is to create a document that will give an overall layout of the website you are about to create which will help in further improvements and rearrangements. Methods like Hierarchical Structures, Branch Design Website Design or Linear Website Diagram may be chosen for this purpose.

How to Organize your Web Site for Better SEO

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

Did you know that you can affect your search engine rankings by changing the layout of your website? Many people tend to think only in terms of keywords when discussing SEO (Search Engine Optimization), but in fact, the actual optimization includes much more than just adding a few keywords to your META tags.

In order to understand why this is so, it’s important to understand how search engines work. Most search engines use “spiders” to find web pages. These spiders “crawl” pages, following links from one page to another and finding keywords on different pages. (That is, of course, a simplified version of what actually goes on in the electronic world, but it’s close enough for our purposes.) Having lots of other people link to your pages (having lots of backlinks) is an important part of getting your website to rank high with search engines. But what about the links on your own website, from one page to another?

If you have pages on your website that are hard to access, then you make it more difficult for spiders to crawl your pages. Webpages that can’t be easily accessed may not be indexed at all, and a valuable SEO opportunity is lost.

How can you ensure that your website is laid out to make it as crawlable as possible? Your search engine optimizer can probably do this for you. But if you plan to do it yourself, remember the two main principles of search engine-friendly layout: each page must be easily accessible to spiders, and each page must be navigiationally easy on web surfers.

You should ensure that several different pages link to each page. The more ways there are to get to each page from other pages, the more likely it is that spiders will be able to get to each page.

At the same time, you don’t want to include a link to every page in your website on every page in your website. This makes for cluttered navigation that’s hard on real people. It won’t do you any good to rank #1 in every single search engine if the actual people you’re trying to attract are put off by your cluttered and confusing navigation.

This is where a site map can come in handy. A site map is basically a single page that has a link to every other page in your website. It can be a user-friendly page, with links separated by categories and arranged alphabetically, or it can be nothing more than a list, the links and nothing else. Really, it only depends on how much time you want to spend keeping it updated.

The site map has the advantage of making it possible for spiders to crawl every page. You should include a very small link to the site map at the bottom of every page on your website. Doing this will ensure that the spiders always have somewhere to go.

When possible, try to lay out your website so that pages link directly to related pages. Again, your search engine optimizer can do this for you if you aren’t sure how to best place your links so that they lead spiders naturally and easily through your site. But this is certain: the better your layout and the better your links, the more traffic you’ll get—and the more visitors you’ll keep.

Free Web Servers-Can You Really Get The Service You Need Without Paying?

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

by Josh Neumann

Believe it or not, today there are many companies that will offer you free Web servers to help you advance your business. These are becoming very popular, especially among beginning Internet marketers, because web hosting is not something that most people really want to think about too much. Therefore, free hosting and web servers sound like a great idea to most people. Keep in mind, while this can work for you, if you plan to allow business on the Internet, you really should not focus on free servers.

Very simply, free Web servers companies usually do not give you much space on their server, and why would they? Very simply, if you aren’t paying them, it really doesn’t do them much good to give you space on their server unless you provide some benefit to them; in this case, most free servers companies will require you to include a banner ad on your website linking back to them.

They figure they will get some traffic this way, and therefore they will get some benefit out of the relationship. However, you certainly can’t plan a getting a lot of space in their server without paying any money.

Also, the free Web server companies generally don’t provide you with great customer service, and here’s another thing to keep in mind. Your website will be on a server with many others, and so if somebody on the server does something to mess it up, you can plan on your website being messed up as well. If the server crashes, your website will go down as well, because it only has a small portion of the server dedicated to it.

Also, if your website get a lot of traffic or has a lot of pages, and therefore will take up less space, you definitely cannot get a free server. Very simply, with a small server space will get, this is only good for a very small website that doesn’t get a lot of traffic. This is great if you are a beginning internet marketer or simply run a hobby based website; not if you plan on either having a large website or a lot of traffic coming to it. This will simply take up too much space on the companies server, and they will not allow your site to stay on unless you pay.

The bottom line is, if you plan a doing a lot of business online, free Web servers probably are not a good idea for you. Yes, you can save some money, but the amount of revenue you will lose out in the long run is simply not worth it.

Job description: webmaster

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

A brain surgeon was conversing with a famous writer at a party. “When I retire, I’d like to become a writer,” he told her. “That’s interesting,” she responded. “When I retire, I’d like to become a brain surgeon.” Running a website isn’t exactly brain surgery, but like writing professionally, neither is it as easy as many people think it is. But as with writing, it looks easy. “It must be nice to work at home and make money online,” they say. “Can you show me how?” How do we as webmasters answer that question?
Getting started as a webmaster
To begin, we can try to quell any misconceptions that people may have. No, we do not lie around watching TV all day while the money pours in. The skills needed to derive income online take more than a few hours to develop. And while we enjoy what we do, it’s work. It takes time, sometimes a lot of time. Running a revenue-generating website is part (or in some cases, all) of running a business. Talking about business specifics can help people understand what’s involved. When friends and relatives ask us to show them how to make money online, we can ask them what products or services they plan to offer. Have they researched the market to see if there is enough demand for their idea? Do they even have an idea? Have they found a niche? Have they written up a business plan and looked into the costs of the products or services they want to provide, a business license, insurance, and other business expenses? They need to know all that in addition to being able to run a website. Not that we want to discourage people, but we don’t want them to waste their time getting into something that they aren’t prepared for. Or perhaps they already have a bricks-and-mortar business and want to start offering their services online as well. On to the website itself. No night school course or diploma fully prepares people for running an online business. Most or all of us are self-taught to a great degree, learning from our mistakes and picking up valuable knowledge from website articles and forums. We all started at the beginning, and we had some success before we knew everything that we needed to know. We still don’t know everything. But learning does take time and effort. What does an aspiring webmaster need to know to get started?
– How to choose, register, and protect a domain name
– What do look for when choosing a web host for specific needs
– Web design standards and principles, HTML, CSS, perhaps some programming languages (but a website builder or template may be adequate for a starter website)
– How to choose and set up a shopping cart
– What to look for in a merchant account and payment gateway (PayPal or PayQuake are probably fine for starting out)
– Search engine optimization: finding the right keywords and knowing how and where to use them, getting inbound links, avoiding techniques that could get sites banned from search engines
– How to write online copy that works for both an online audience and for search engine bots
– Web-specific advertising and marketing techniques

As the webmaster world turns
“Ah, once I do all that, the money will flow to me,” people may say. It might start coming in with all of the above in place. But will it keep coming? Not if the competition continues adding content and inbound links and we do nothing. That’s why we’re putting time into acquiring more inbound links and promoting our site instead of lying around watching TV as people might imagine. We’re analyzing our website statistics to see what we can learn about our visitors and how we can make our site work better for them. We’re keeping up on what’s new in SEO, web development, and our field of business. We’re looking for ways to try to stay ahead of the competition. And, of course, we’re responding to inquiries and selling the products or providing the services that we offer at our website. Customer service is just as important online as it is with face-to-face contact. We’re still serving real people. Online, people sometimes expect immediate responses, which makes taking a day off less of an option. We may be communicating with people whose native language isn’t the same as ours, which can create communication difficulties. While most people are polite, some use the anonymity of online contact to be rude in ways they wouldn’t think of behaving in front of us. And if they feel that our service isn’t good enough, they may share their unhappiness in online forums. Working from home and being our own boss has its benefits. We can work at our own pace and take time to do what we need to do in our personal lives, If we want, we can turn on the TV in the middle of the day to watch our favorite soap — but we probably make up for the time later, when 9-to-5ers are relaxing after their day of work. 9-to-5 jobs have their benefits too. Employees have job descriptions, they know what’s expected of them, and most can leave work when the clock says that it’s time to go home. It’s easier to persevere when you know that the boss is evaluating your work. Working on our own, we have to find that perseverance within ourselves and keep working on bringing visitors to our website if we want to have an income. Not everyone has that drive to continue pushing themselves to work when they’re on their own.

The cycle of starting
Should we help our friends and relatives who want to earn money online? Perhaps the biggest help we can offer them is to paint a realistic picture of webmaster work and to get them thinking about their business ideas and preparation. We can all remember what it was like to start out, and we somehow made it without knowing everything that we know now. If people have done their research and are ready to jump in without expecting us to do the work for them, and if we give them some help, we’re continuing the cycle of support that many of us also received as beginning webmasters.

Choosing a Web Package – A Guideline

Filed under: Web Hosting Articles

So much choice and so much to choose from! Paying someone to design and develop a web site is not an easy task today with all the competition in the market, let alone hosting and supporting your site. And what about search engine optimization? This guideline will help you ask the right questions before you decide to whom you are going to assign this task.

One of the very first questions you need to ask yourself is: Why do I need a web site? Several answers might pop up; to boost my sales, to make myself known, to have a reference for my clients, to start a new business,…the list can go on and on…but how do you determine what’s right for you and your business?

The way to evaluate possible contenders for the job is to ask the right questions. Here are some questions you cannot afford not to ask.

In reference to the company that provides web services, you should ask…

1. Are they offering just web development, or, just web hosting, or do they have a vast range of services linked to the web industry?…i.e. do they offer the whole spectrum of services linked with web sites?

2. How do their prices compare to other companies who are providing the same services?

3. How flexible are they to my requirements…a) do they offer extra pages? b) do they offer additional hosting? c) is support part of the price I’m paying?

4. Do they offer dynamic sites? Normally this would give an indication of how experienced their programmers are in developing sites.

5. Are there any references to ‘search engine optimization’ on their site? If not, most probably they are not going to write my site in a way that major search engines can find it and rank it highly.

6. Do they offer search engine optimization? This is very important if I need to rank high and make the task for prospective customers to find me an easy one.

These are questions you should ask and if in doubt don’t hesitate to contact the company before investing your money in them. Most importantly they need to have fast and reliable support, although this can only be verified when it’s too late, i.e. you have already paid for it.

Other decisions you need to take is how your web site should look like. Do you require a static site with a lot of content, or minimum content with impressive graphics, sounds and animations? This would obviously depend on the nature of your business and the way you need to promote your image. The company you choose need to have enough experience to help you make this decision based on your business’ perspectives.

Whatever the case, as in nearly all things in life, a moment of reflection and some research are fundamental in order to make the right decision.
