Webhosting rating, how do you find honest customer rating?

Choosing a webhosting where your site will be put on is really a crucial matter. Once you did wrong decision on choosing web hosting company, there will be only regret you will get. There are several things to consider on choosing webhosting company, the major thing such as webhosting uptime, solid customer service, and based on your needs, there are options like how many diskspace and bandwith do you really need. As you already know, nowadays most web hosting company offering you unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwith, and optional unlimited domain hosting in one account. This is also important to be considered, compared to the monthly price of the hosting fee and the feature it offers.

Best deal for text link ads

link

I wrote this post because sometime I found that many webmasters even on webmaster’s forums still confused on how to get or build quality backlinks to their website quickly but efficiently. Yes there are many ways to start building link popularity, such as by submitting articles to article directory, by putting their links into the forum signatures, commenting on other’s blogpost, and etc. But the most important thing and sometime they are forget about it is about relevancy. It’s very important to get real backlinks with relevancy beside the quality itself. While ‘quality’ matter is really arguable, I mean who does really can decide about the link’s quality, according to what aspect does it scored as quality links, and many other reasons. But about relevancy and quantity, it’s countable am I right? so it would be great for you webmasters to join some text link advertising program to start build your link popularity.

Perhaps there also a hot discussion about buy text link ads and sell text link ads thing isn’t fair and it will bring your site penalized by search engine. But as far as I know it will not. Why? It’s just because that it is the nature of the web itself. Website linking each others that’s the fact. Then the only problem is on how do we play on it, the point is relevancy, as long as your links is relevant, there will be nothing to worry about your site rank in the future.

Turning off Post-Revision to Save Your Database

wordpress

If you feel your wordpress blog is running slow, especially when you want to post a news, and if your blog is have more than hundred of posts, it might be your wordpress database is too large so that every query called from the admin panel or via your theme/template is slowly executed by the server.

To do some optimization I recommend using WP-DBManager plugin which provides this functionality as well as database backup, this is important for any blog installation. Database tables should be periodically optimized (and repaired if necessary) for optimum performance. Simply install the plugin if you don’t want to optimize it via such tools like phpmyadmin or any others.

WordPress 2.6 added a cool features when post version tracking mechanism was introduced. For example, every time you “Save” a post, a revision is written to the database. If you do not really need this feature you can easily turn it off by adding one line to your wp-config.php file, found in the installation directory of your WordPress site:

define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false);

If you have run a blog with revisions turned on for a while, chance is you will have a lot of revision posts in your database. if you wish to remove them for good, simply run this query (for example using the mentioned WP-DBManager) plugin.

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = “revision”;

This will remove all “revision” posts from your database, making it smaller in the process.

NOTE: Do this with care. If you are not sure what you are doing, make sure to at least create a backup of the database first or even better, ask a professional to help you.

Fresh Content on The Fly

Content is the most important thing to be the priority if you are seriously want to build internet marketing business, a website with good and informative content likely will have good ranking on search engine and automatically it will shows a good position on search engine result page. Of course it depends on the keyword and the niche or theme of the website/blog itself. A good content will attract search engine bots and also human readers. It is very important that you should always have original and fresh content on your blog/website because there’s also a roumor that search engines penalize website with lack of fresh or good content.

Writing content for your website sometimes scarifying, yes that’s true and most of webmasters are lazy (I must confess I’m a lazy too) but there’s another way for you (or me) to have a good and fresh content to fill up your blog since I’ve found a new content rewriter software that can be found on http://www.content-rewrite.com. It’s basicly just like a combination of synonimizing and translation software where you can produce a fresh and genuine content from any sources! Here’s a screenshot of this content rewrite software:

Since it haven’t released yet you can get a free trial on their website and also you can suggest your opinion so the developer would make it better. My opinion? well I wish they would cut the price of the software! :lol:

SEO Tips – Keyword Density

Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places. If you repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your site will probably be rejected as an artificial site or spam site. Keyword density is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given web page.

Suppose you have 100 words on your webpage (not including HMTL code used for writing the web page), and you use a certain keyword for five times in the content. The keyword density on that page is got by simply dividing the total number of keywords, by the total number of words that appear on your web page. So here it is 5 divided by 100 = .05. Because keyword density is a percentage of the total word count on the page, multiply the above by 100, that is 0.05 x 100 = 5%

The accepted standard for a keyword density is between 3% and 5%, to get recognized by the search engines and you should never exceed it.

Remember, that this rule applies to every page on your site. It also applies to not just to one keyword but also a set of keywords that relates to a different product or service. The keyword density should always be between 3% and 5%.

Simple steps to check the density:
• Copy and paste the content from an individual web page into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect.
• Go to the ‘Edit’ menu and click ‘Select All’. Now go to the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Word Count’. Write down the total number of words in the page.
• Now select the ‘Find’ function on the ‘Edit’ menu. Go to the ‘Replace’ tab and type in the keyword you want to find. ‘Replace’ that word with the same word, so you don’t change the text.
• When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page.
• Using the total word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density.

Why You Should Use Graphic Templates

When it comes to graphics, most Internet marketers shy away from using graphic templates whether it’s ebook covers, website layouts or promotional banners because they firmly believe that by using graphic templates, they are tarnishing their own business. They want to own a unique identity and hence will always find a professional graphic designer to do the job. Well, you’re in for a big surprise!

When you purchase a graphic template, you will be able to customize it to an extent or even build a totally new design based on it! What’s the point of using the template then, you say? Well, it serves as a source of inspiration and ideas for a totally new design. You can’t derive anything from a blank canvas, right?

On top of that, you are actually saving a lot of precious time that you can otherwise spend on more important matters like developing new products or market your products. When you buy a pre-made template, you only need to edit a thing or two to give it an identity of your own, and that gives you more time and flexibility to work on other stuff.

Okay, let’s say you argue that hiring a designer to do the job is equally fast. That may be true but don’t forget, hiring a professional designer to do a custom design for you will cost you a lot of money. Unless you need a totally unique identity that you are aiming to establish firmly in your niche market, you don’t need to get a designer to design it for you.

Not all graphic templates are suitable, so you have to be careful when choosing one. Consider quality over the price, and you’re on your way to creating a positive image for your business while saving more time for more productive chores!
