How to Get Repeat Web Traffic

Here are the tips to get repeat a web traffic:

1. Update the pages on your website frequently. Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. You can even put a date counter on the page to show when it was last updated.

2. Offer additional value on your website. For affiliates and partners you can place links to their sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You can also advertise their books or videos, if these products relate to your industry and are not in competition with your own product.

3. You can allow customers to ‘opt in’ to get discounts and special offers. Place a link on your site to invite customers to ‘opt in’ to get a monthly newsletter or valuable coupons.

4. Add a link to your primary page with a script ‘Book Mark or Add this site to your Favorites’.

5. Add a link ‘Recommend this site to a Friend’ so that the visitor can email your website link, with a prewritten title, “Thought you might be interested in this”, just by clicking on it.

6. Brand your website so that visitors always know they are on your site. Use consistent colors, logos and slogans and always provide a ‘Contact Us’ link on each page.....

7. Create a ‘Our Policies’ page that clearly defines your philosophy and principles in dealing with your customers. Also post your privacy policy as well so that clients know they are secure when they visit your site.

8. Create a FAQ page which addresses most of the doubts and clarifications about your product or your company that are likely to be asked. This helps to resolve most of the customers doubts in their first visit to your site.

8. Ensure that each page on your website has appropriate titles and keywords so that your customer can find their way back to your site if they lose the book mark.

9. Never spam a client, who has opted for newsletters, with unsolicited emails. Later if they decide they want to ‘opt out’ of the mailings, be sure you honor their request and take them off the mailing list. They may still come back if they like your products. But they will certainly not come back if you continue to flood their email box with mails they no longer wish to receive.

Keyword Research Tools

One need to choose those keywords that are frequently searched for and which is in high demand, but not being already used by many other websites and competitors, and thus has low competition. There are a number of keyword research tools that can help you find them.

Apart from the Wordtracker which was already discussed in an other article, we have some more equally important research tools like the Overture, Google AdWords Keyword and Guidebeam.

Overture's http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ keyword suggestion tool is free and much quicker to use than Wordtracker. It works more like the Wordtracker but doesn't tell you how many websites are targeting each keyword phrase.

For example if you type ‘Computer’, the Overture search suggestion tool will tell you that during the last month the word ‘Computer’ was searched, say for example 459550 times at Overture.Com. Similarly 'computer game' was searched 302210 times. Also, given one word it will tell you all relevant combinations of that word, which are based on actual searches done by people. If the word you keyed in is not a common search term then you will not get any results. It means that very few people have actually searched for that word during the last month....

Even Google Keyword Tool generates potential keywords for your ad campaign and reports their Google statistics, including search performance and seasonal trends. Features of this tool include,
• Sorting the results of your desired keyword search by popularity, past performance history within the AdWords system, cost, and predicted ad position.
• Easy keyword manipulation where you can select a few keywords here and there or add them all at once.
• Searches for keywords present even in any webpage URL specified by your search. It can also expand your keyword search even further to include those pages that are linked to or from the original URL page.
• More keyword results are generated based on regularly updated usage statistics database. This helps you to get new keywords or phrases.

Guidebeam http://www.guidebeam.com/ is an interesting resource. Type in a phrase and it will suggest a large number of related searches. The numbers generated against each phrase are Guidebeam's estimation of how relevant that phrase is.

These softwares are useful for researching how people search the web and then optimizing your own web pages so that more people find your web site.

Tutorial cPanel - .htaccess: part 2

The Apache servers are usually equipped with a number of configuration tools designed to help clients effectively administer their website. Few of these tools have the purpose and functionality of the .htaccess file, another handy feature found with the cPanel control panel. Though small, this file is quite powerful when put into action, giving users the ability to override the default settings of their hosting provider’s server.

Htaccess is merely a simple ASCII text file, yet it can be extended to perform many different functions. Some of its capabilities include password protecting the directories of your site, to preventing intrusion from malicious hackers and redirecting visitors to different locations on the web. In this article we will cover its unique ability to block IP addresses and specific domains.

Hide the .htaccess
The web contains a great number of sites hosting interactive member forums and blogs. These sites are often targeted by several spammers and malicious hackers. Website owners have been trying to come up with a solution to this issue for years with few results. However, the .htaccess file is a tool with the power to limit this intrusive activity and give you a bit of privacy by keeping out those IP addresses and domains causing all the ruckus.

.htaccess vs. IP Deny Manager

Although .htaccess files can be easily activated from within the cPanel, choosing whether to use them or not is a difficult call. This is a sensitive file with a lot of power, meaning it could inadvertently shut down your site or negatively impact the provider’s server when used incorrectly. For this reason, the IP Deny Manager may be a better solution, another feature of the cPanel which functions similar to .htaccess.

Just like the .htaccess file, the IP Deny Manager can be used to block IP addresses and domains from accessing your website. If there is a particular IP address or domain you wish to deny access, it can be done easily from the control panel by following these directions:

• log into the cPanel account
• locate the “site management” tab and click on “IP Deny Manager”
• find the “Add IP Deny” field and type in the address you wish to block
• click the “Add” tab

This activates the IP Deny Manager and keeps the internet intruders from harassing you. The only way they can gain access to the site is if you lift the ban. This can also be done using the .htaccess file or by simply selecting the IP from a drop-down box in the IP Deny Manager utility.

Both .htaccess and the IP Deny Manager are great solutions for protecting your website against unscrupulous characters. It can prevent data from being stolen and the spamming of your interactive features. Although .htaccess works well, the IP Deny Manager is the recommended choice as it will have no negative effects on your site or the provider’s server. If would like to try the .htaccess file, be sure to inquire within your web hosting and find out about their regulations before carrying on.

Domain Names Reselling

Domain names have become like household items on the web. Many people have them, while even more want them. This had led entrepreneurial owners into the business of purchasing and reselling domain names for profit.
Affiliating yourself with an established domain registrar is a profitable solution for the webmaster with several domain names under their belt. It offers a great opportunity for anyone looking to make money on the web. Here’s how it works:

Due to mass popularity, many domain name registrars now offer reseller packages to any interested individual or business. If the prospects are accepted, they then have the power to register domains at discounted prices via the parent ICANN approved registrar. From there, they can then resell them to customers looking for specific domain names. In most cases, the established registrar will handle all the critical functions such as registering the name and customer support. As a reseller, your goal is essentially to line up more business for the registrar. While the buyer pays their money to the reseller, and may even access a control panel from the reseller’s site, the actual domain is registered with the parent registrar.

Here is a perfect example of how domain reselling works: Yahoo and Earthlink both provide their own down registration services. While you can successfully register a domain name through both companies, they are not the parent registrar. That title belongs to Melbourne IT, an ICANN approved registrar that backs services for big name companies such as Yahoo and Earthlink.

Lowering Domain Fees

After purchasing domains at wholesale prices from the parent registrar, resellers are able to set their own prices, passing the savings along to new customers. This has become a very successful trend to say the least. With these discount prices and stiff competition among resellers, prices of domains have been driven down from nearly $40 to as low as $5.95 and counting.

ICANN Approved Resellers

While domain reselling is a hot business to jump into, you should never sign up with the first company claiming the ability to offer this kind of service. If they are not approved as an official registrar or reseller, attempting to resell domains through them could get you in a lot of trouble.

Enom and Wild West Domains are two of the most known ICANN accredited registrars that employ individuals and businesses to market their domain names. Resellers working for these two companies are very reliable and typically offer great prices.

Getting A Piece of The Pie

If you plan to register multiple domains for yourself or your company, you can make out nicely by reselling them for an established registrar. As a reseller, you can buy domains at a discounted price and make a profit by selling registrations to others. Programs at Wild West Domains start as low as $ 99 - that’s all it takes to get started with our own domain name reseller business. You can function as your very own registrar and the more registrations you sell, the more money you make. Whether you’re looking to make a profit or simply save a few bucks on a hot domain name, a domain reselling service may be something worth looking into.

Dedicated Server : an Introduction

Normal web hosting is great but it does have its restrictions. While you may be able to control the administrative functions and design of your website, you have limited control in regard to the server hosting the site. Additionally, the server is likely to contain sites from other clients purchasing service from a particular provider, a factor that leaves you with limited resources and possibly exposed to the activities of others....

With dedicated hosting, you are actually allowed to control the behavior of the server. A host provides you with administrative access to the machine in which you can then install and run any type of software you desire. You can choose to host multiple sites on a single account, or even start your own web hosting company and host sites for your own clients on the server - the possibilities are endless.

When choosing dedicated hosting, you are leased a server box that is dedicated solely to you. As a customer of dedicated hosting, you have exclusive rights to the server including memory, bandwidth and disk storage. The server can be set to your preference with the applications and features of your choosing. Because of the overall freedom and flexibility, dedicated hosting has become quite popular. This type of hosting plan is well suited for both individuals and organizations that operate high-traffic sites or those that require the resources, versatility and enhanced performance of a dedicated server. It is also a great solution for database management, gaming sites and shared hosting as well.

Several companies now offer dedicated hosting packages that allow you to customize your own server. You can choose from one of their recommended pre-packaged plans or build your own server from the ground up, complete with your own files and software options. Just like any web hosting plan, one bonus you should certainly keep an eye out for is technical support. This adds value to the plan and will help you to determine how reliable a dedicated hosting provider really is. The standard rate of support is now offered on a 24/7 basis and service for your dedicated server should be no different. Look for plans that provide support via telephone, email and live chat if possible. It’s also a good idea to find a service that offers a free sever setup which enables you to get up and running quickly.

Dedicated hosting gives a huge advantage to corporations hosting all of their sites on a single server. It gives them the power to effectively manage business operations with the customization and uniformed nature of point-of-sale applications. For instance, the franchise car dealership in Detroit would be using and benefiting from the same tools as the dealership in Las Vegas. This makes for a streamlined operation that is fluent and cost-efficient at the same time.

Is a Dedicated Sever for You?
A dedicated server offers many opportunities but this type of hosting is not for everyone. Dedicated hosting is more suited for larger businesses who need the additional resources, and more importantly, can afford it. Personal sites and smaller businesses are typically do not require the power of a dedicated server and can save a lot of money by leasing space from a general web hosting provider.

Between Shared and Dedicated hosting

When choosing a web host, you generally have two options - to lease space on a shared server or lease a dedicated server. With a shared hosting server, your site or sites are sharing server space with others sites. However, by leasing a dedicated server, you receive the complete server along with a network connection all to yourself...

Shared servers are more affordable than dedicated servers and generally require a much lower level of technical skill. This is due to sophisticated control panel software and the fact that the host handles the majority of the actual server administration. For this reason, shared servers often make the best solution for personal individuals and small businesses who do not receive high volumes of web traffic.

A larger company on the other hand, may find themselves rather limited on a shared server.

These businesses often have high amounts of traffic that require more disk space, bandwidth, software and security. Although a dedicated server is more expensive, this type of hosting gives you much greater control and capability. This is an idea solution for online businesses with both a steady flow of traffic and revenue.

In shared hosting, many providers will guarantee an uptime of 99.9%, a figure that can be calculated in a number of different ways. The performance of your site can be impacted by the service interruptions caused by others on the server. Worst of all, most of these instances will be out of your control. You alone are responsible for managing a dedicated server. This includes building the machine to anticipate high levels of traffic along with any other events that may impact server response and performance.

With a shared hosting plan, you have limited access to applications and the operating system used by the host. Dedicated hosting allows you to install and run customized e-commerce applications, database management utilities and other software to increase functionality. As your site grows with traffic, your storage and applications will need to be enhanced to keep up with demand. A dedicated server also makes way for upgrades whereas a shared server is limited. Not only can software be upgraded but also hard drives, ram processors and even the operating system itself.

Dedicated hosting is likely to be somewhat more secure than shared hosting as well. A dedicated server can be protected with its own firewall along with server security software to fight off malicious content. This is an attribute greatly appreciated by companies storing highly sensitive data on their servers.

Good and Bad Side of share Hosting

Shared servers offer the most popular and widely used web hosting services available. Not only does it provide server space for your website, but for the sites of other clients as well. All of these sites make use of the same operating system and software applications. Although free hosting runs a similar setup, shared hosting typically offers many more benefits...

A free shared hosting service is a sound solution for those simply looking to express themselves or try out a few new ideas. If things don’t work out as you may have hoped, you have the benefit of having paid nothing for your website. At the same time, you should come to expect that free shared hosting will not provide the best conditions. For instance, storage space and bandwidth is limited and reliable support for MySQL databases and PHP is almost nonexistent. To put it mildly, this type of environment is not geared for someone looking to succeed at e-commerce.

With a paid shared hosting service, you are typically provided with all the necessary features to make an impact on the web. This includes multiple email accounts, a number of MySQL databases, easy to use web building tools and much more. Maybe you want a to start a small business that looks professional but doesn’t require enough to fill an entire server. Paid shared hosting offers you an easy way to host your site on a powerful web server for an affordable monthly fee.

Shared hosting is usually the first choice for the brand new webmaster. This type of environment gives you the ability to create a significant web presence without the need of advanced technical skill. Here is a list of other benefits you will enjoy.
A fast connection and reliable up-time,Quality server administration,Efficient control panel software, A number of useful features

Shared hosting is a viable solution but there are a few drawbacks as well. Below we have listed and detailed the bad side of hosting your site on a shared server:

Limited resources - on a shared server, you are sharing precious resources with everyone else who has signed up for service. This puts restrictions how the scalability of your site as capacities such as disk storage, bandwidth and memory are limited.

Software restrictions - a shared hosting provider generally only permits you to use the software they have supplied. This means you are unable to implement valuable components that could possibly increase the functionality and value of your site.

Security issues - the shared hosting environment is much more susceptible to outside and internal exploits. This is mainly due to the vulnerabilities in common scripts and the lack of security implementations.

Cpanel Introduction

If want to find a good web host that can ensure that your website is fully functional almost every minute of the year. This does not have to be something costly. In fact, price is not a factor of how good a web host is most of the time. Price only comes in when the technologies used come into play, but for the most part, that applies only to big corporations with special needs. This means that you can and should find cheap web hosting that is reliable instead of searching for a higher-priced competitor that does not know how to run a web hosting company.

All you probably want is to have a place where you can place the files that you have created to share with the world, and for this, you will most probably only need a few features. Take note of these features and dispose of the others that only serve to blind you from making a good decision on choosing the right hosting plan.
Space of Hardisk - Most people, including you, will need less than 100 megabytes of space in reality, and any more would be redundant. Hosts that offer unlimited hard disk space are usually bad, and it only serves to show how inexperienced they are to offer such a feature. Many of these hosts end up shutting down their servers when they reach the limit due to their over-hyped offer. Remember, you are sharing the server with other people, and having a limit is better since it will prevent abusers that will ruin everyone else.

Technical Support - You will want to be able to get assistance with any problem you might have as soon as possible. If your website goes down, you want the company to have it fixed as soon as possible. This is where technical support comes in. Find a host with 24-hour technical support so that you can ensure that your problems are attended as and when you need it.

Criteria of Cheap Web hosting Company

The best web hosting companies provide excellent 24-hour support that will answer your questions almost instantaneously and provide the most mind-blowing quality of servers that hardly seem to break down.

Did you know that the profits for cheap web hosting can amount to more than that of costlier alternatives?

This means that companies that offer cheap web hosting should also be able to provide good technical support since they can afford to fork out more. There is no reason for them to neglect their customers just because they are paying less. You get the speed disadvantages of cheap web hosting and that is fine - but they should provide the support to aid you in times when you will need it, especially when the hardware fails. You signed up for the cheap web hosting plan because you knew you only needed that much power, but it seems you also get the consequence of having bad support. Web hosting should be about the hardware, and the good support is something that should be there and it is simple why - to provide the best experience for the customers that rent your servers.

The best web hosts also make it a point to maintain their servers to keep the problems of shared hosting at bay. When so many people are using the same server, it is important to ensure that no one person causes anything to the server as it would affect hundreds or even thousands of other customers. Many cheap web hosts do not take good care of their severs well enough and a few abusive clients usually break it, causing everyone else’s websites to fall into oblivion along with the server.

The creme of the crop are the web hosts that invest in technology that enhance shared hosting and eliminates all the disadvantages of cheap web hosting while still maintaining the affordable price point. These hosts are usually the best as they have already proven to have excellent technical support from the fact that they can set up such a sophisticated system. There are a few out there, and you just have to know how to find them.

How to prevent domain from being stolen

Domain names are in high demand these days, so much in fact that internet thieves are looking to steal them. Domain hijacking is increasingly on the rise and Network Solutions has been the biggest victim. Known as the largest and oldest registrar, Network Solutions recently reported that they have been thieved for hundreds of domain names. So how did this happen? Similar to how unscrupulous individuals purchase web hosting to distribute malicious code, domain thieves masquerade as administrative members of targeted companies and use that authority to modify the ownership of domains...

The recent wave of domain theft has exposed major security vulnerabilities in today’s registration system. Representatives at DomainCaddy have declared that 80 to 90 percent of all domain names are at the risk of hijacking, including those belonging to active internet businesses.
How to prevent it
There are a few ways to minimize the risk of having your domain stolen. You can start by selecting the highest level of security for your domain registration account. These services are offered by many registrars for an additional fee. If you already have a name registered, contact your registrar by phone and ask them to upgrade the level of security on your account. You also want to make sure that no changes are made without your consent. The registrar should contact you by phone or email confirming that you want these changes to be made.

If you are looking to purchase your first domain name, it is a good idea to choose a registrar that offers a “hijack-proof” security service. Register.com is one such company that charges $99 for the “Domain Lockdown” service. With Network Solutions having been exposed for vulnerabilities, you should request the encrypted password option when registering a name with them. You can also choose their PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) account option. Both of these are far more secure than the standard “MAIL-FROM” option.

You should never use a Not-Care or After-Update service option to manage your account. According to the Network Solution notification policy, you will not receive notification of changes to your account until after they have been made. To avoid this, choose the Before-Update option that assures all changes go through you first for authorization.

Companies information
When looking for affordable web hosting, you should know that “cheap” is the provider’s calling card. For this reason, you need to conduct through research on the company or companies in question.

This will give you a bit of insight on their service and the indication that the company takes care of their consumers
Personal information
