How to make your Error 404 Pages Useful

June 16, 2008

Picture of Error 404 pages imageThe 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but either the server could not find what was requested, or it was configured not to fulfill the request and not reveal the reason why. 404 errors should not be confused with “server not found” or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server cannot be made at all. (by Wikipedia)
What do you usually do when you click a URL and encounter a “404 File Not Found” error? If you are like most people, you’ll simply click on the BACK button and try another place. The majority of visitors don’t even know that there are any other alternatives. You thus need to do something so that you do not lose this group of visitors who come to your site by following an old link or by typing your URL incorrectly. [Read more]

Layout Tips to Maximize Adsense CTR Click

June 3, 2008

Picture of adsense layout tipsOn Positioning. you need to add your Adsense links right in the heart of your template, right in the heart of your content.

The introduction of Google Adsense ‘link units’, now can be added what looks like a ‘menu system’ to compliment your menu system within your website. Have you ever just clicked on a website and kept clicking on the menu links? I know we all have (beware of invalid clicks on adsense). And by adding a ‘Google link units’ to your menu, hope that you will get more clicks than you thought.
Try add the link units near the top of your website for better performance and try create your link units matched with the color of your menu system in place.
Once, I find myself clicking on a menu link unit without even realizing it which in turn gives more money to the website owner.

The Leaderboards & Skyscrapers may very well be your “bread & butter” because of the sheer size of these ads units. The best place to add these ad units is obvious; Straight across the very top of your website for leaderboards, and straight down the side of your template for skyscrapers. Anywhere else may not look proper within your template and may look unprofessional.

The Square & Rectangle Ad Units are great to compliment the mass amount of content within your website and also within your resources. You want to compliment your content and don’t want Adsense to be your content because this make it look poor on your part.
Square and rectangular units are great to use within articles posted on your website or within your link resources. Try adding your Adsense boxes above your resource links within a page and give your Adsense account extra exposure.

What to Look For When Choosing a WebHosting

June 2, 2008

Picture of Webhosting lookThe purpose of your web site determines what you need to look for from a web hosting service. A hobby site has very different needs to that of a business site such as Amazon.com. For example, the hobby site would possibly be able to be satisfactorily hosted on a free hosting site whereas Amazon.com would need a dedicated server with 24/7 support and eCommerce capability as a minimum requirement.

For the purposes of this article, I am going to focus on webhosting requirements likely to be required for small business or home based business people.
The most important requirement is reliability. You need a hosting service that has 99.9% up time to ensure that your site visitors can do business with you at any time. Check what is being offered by the hosting provider and ensure that they have a guaranteed up time and also strong support.
Make sure that the support is included in the cost of the hosting plan. It is worthwhile to check the terms of the support offered to ensure that it suits your business.

Next, you need to consider affordability. Hosting on a dedicated server is usually quite expensive and may only be needed for the larger small business operation. The other option is a virtual server. This is an arrangement where a server is shared by a number of sites. These web hosting plans are a lot more affordable for home business people and small businesses and are usually more than satisfactory for their needs. A disadvantage of shared arrangements is that you don’t get to choose your neighbors.

The need for eCommerce capability is also an important consideration. Check that the host provides SSL secure server. Some hosting plans also provide a shopping cart. Check this for ease of use and that the software meets the needs of your business.
Your choice of plans will mainly be dependant upon how much disk space you require and the amount of bandwidth you will be using. Disk space is relatively cheap these days and you can get plans with quantities well in excess of your needs.

However, bandwidth is more expensive and needs more careful consideration. Sometimes, late in a month, you will try to visit a site and a message comes up saying the site is unavailable as it has exceeded it’s bandwidth usage for the month. Unless you are monitoring your site, you may not even know that this has occurred. Therefore, to ensure access to your site is always available, I recommend that you choose the plan with the most bandwidth that you can afford.

Plans will allow you to choose between operating systems. The common ones are Windows, Linux and Mac. In reality, there is not a lot of difference between them and you should choose based on your personal preference or on what platform runs the applications you need on your web server.

Databases are becoming more common as a part of content management systems as well as scripts. Most web hosts these days will cater for these and often provide a range of scripts already available for your use.

You will also need to check how many domain names you are allowed in the hosting package you are considering. If you use sub-domains, check how many as allowed as some providers place limits on these. Check the quantities allowed for parked domains, FTP accounts, and email accounts. Are there enough to meet your current and future needs?

The control panel is your interface with your web hosting service. You need to be comfortable that it is easy to use and that sufficient help is available when you need it to ensure that you can set up and maintain your site.

Don’t be afraid to check out various forums for good and bad comments on the web hosts you are considering. It is also useful to do some searching through the search engines for any information on the companies providing the hosting services to ensure that they are likely to be around for a while.

How to Make a Fake Google PageRank

May 31, 2008

Picture of fake Google PagerankMany webmasters still focus on websites with a high PageRank when it comes to link building and website promotion. They buy PageRank for their site in many ways, such buy links, exchange links, or just by a domain with good Pagerank.
Recently, a new technique of the fake PageRank number of a web site has become popular. Fake Google Pagerank is done by redirecting traffic from googlebot to another site, preferably one with a high PR. So the green bar that shows the PageRank goes up but your pages don’t get indexed or get a single visitor from the engine. This technique called cloaking.
Actually, this fake PageRank technique prevents your web site from showing up in Google because Google thinks that the content of the redirected web site is the content of your site, and doesn’t help your web site rankings or SEO purpose at all. The only effect on your web site is that the green PageRank bar will be longer.

The fake Google Pagerank technique is 301 Redirect the domain you have with .htaccess, PHP header (anything server side) to a page with the desired page rank. It’s better to redirect to something relevant. For example, if you are doing a proxy site, redirect to another proxy site that have good valid PageRank.
Here is the php the code to use: [Read more]
