Traffic: Optimizing Techniques

To "optimize" each of your pages, here is what you should do:

1. Your primary keyword should appear in the "title" tag - the text that shows up in the blue title bar of the page.

2. Your page should begin with a <h1> heading tag which contains your primary keyword. For example, your title for a secondary page might be "Buying a Golden Retriever Puppy - Some Tips"

3. Your introductory paragraph should contain your primary keyword, and probably one or two instances of other closely related keywords.

4. The rest of your page should focus on related keywords with those keywords emphasized in the text and in sub-headings (using the h2, h3, or h4 tags.)

5. Most "experts" say your closing paragraph should also contain a few instances of your primary keyword.

6. Your page should contain a navigation menu with anchor text using the primary keywords for each page pointing to all the other important pages within your site.

7. You may also want to include a "resources" section which links out to other important resources - including other closely related things you have created - such as articles, videos, products, squidoo pages, blogs, and other websites.

Start thinking of your pages from the optimization point of view, and they will begin to do much better in the search engine rankings.

Traffic: Optimizing Your Website

Steps in optimizing pages for keywords...

1. First, choose a set of keywords that range from your most general theme to more specific sub-themes. For example, if your site is about "golden retriever puppies" this term, along with two or three other closely related search terms should provide the focus for your home page.

2. Your home page is usually your site’s most important page, so it should be optimized for your most important keywords. Your home page should be more general in content and emphasis, with links pointing to more specific sub-sections within your site. In other words, organize your home page around the most general (small) set of keywords you want to rank well for.

3. Then create internal pages focused around specific keywords related to those emphasized on your home page. For example, you may have sub-sections within your site on topics such as:

- golden retriever puppy care
- buying a golden retriever puppy
- toys for golden retriever puppies
- best features of golden retriever puppies
- etc.

Each of these pages should focus on a narrow set of keywords related to (and linked to) the home page, and all the other pages within your site.

4. You need simple navigation tools - such as a nav-bar - to interlink your pages. These links are important, both for navigation purposes and for SEO purposes. These are seen as inbound links and they help form a "neighborhood" of related resources. Neighborhoods are good in the eyes of the search engines. The SEs assume that a neighborhood of closely related resources contains more information than isolated pages.

Even a Cheap Hosting Company Can Help You Build a Website

by Sage Kalmus

It's no secret: the internet is the place to be. And there is no shortage of web hosting companies out there -- cheap hosting or otherwise -- all vying for the scads of business flocking to the internet to grab their share of the pie. You might say it's a Buyer's Market. eMerchants of all kinds know that consumers are all bargain hunters and as our appetites grow fatter and our palates grow wiser, we demand more and more from the companies that serve us at less and less of a cost to us. The result? These days, web hosting companies can't afford not to be cheap hosting companies.

To compete, cheap hosting companies have to provide an assortment of tools and services to make them stand out above the rest, and the least of these is website design and building. If your cheap hosting company can't help you design and build, publish, and edit and maintain your website, then it's too cheap. This article will lay out some of the most common and useful features you could reasonably expect a good, cheap hosting company's website builder/editor to have.

In brief, a website builder (whatever fancy name the individual cheap hosting company slaps on top of it) is essentially a point-and-click program for designing and building websites. These programs have evolved over the years to the point now where they are so simple that even a retired great-grandparent could do it. (You thought we were going to say “a child”, didn't you? -- and apologies to the tech-savvy great-grandfolks out there.)

The software exists, and has existed for a while now, to empower anyone at all to design, build, and publish not just a website, but a website that works. One that's error-free, that'll be search engine-approved, that's attractive and easily navigable, that encourages traffic, and that doesn't require you to know a whit of HTML code.

The foundation of any website builder/editor are these are predesigned webpages, designed around specific themes or categories -- sales, membership organizations, service provider, in-house, family scrapbook, self-promotional, etc. -- that you are free to use as your own. Simply fill-in-the blanks with your own information and customize the look and feel to suit your tastes.
You see, a template is just a springboard for your website. Sure, you can use it as is; that's fine if it's a personal website for you and your friends, but don't expect an un-tweaked template to generate a lot of business. Templates are designed to be fully customizable, and that includes background colors, fonts, text sizes, graphics, backgrounds, borders, page layout, and more. You should exercise that facility to its fullest.

Cheap hosting companies' website builders/editors should include not only a wide variety of templates in a wide variety of themes/categories, but a wide variety as well of color sets, fonts, graphics/clip art/photo databases, backgrounds/borders, etc.

Templates may also exists for many of the most common and popular website tools that people use, like photo albums, event calendars, feedback forms, and user forums.

The cheap hosting company of today needs not only to be able to convert your vision into sensible HTML code, but it needs also to empower you to code Javascript and Flash-based content. These might not seem like valuable features at first glance, but without them, you might find yourself restricted to building websites that visitors find flat, uninteresting, and non-interactive.

There should also be a suitable Preview feature included so that you can see the progress of your website at each step along the way. You should be able to see exactly what your visitors will see once your cheap hosting company puts your site live.

Finally, crucial to any website that's not intended merely for personal use -- which is most of the websites out there -- is making a sale. And if there's one thing a cheap hosting company's website builder has got to have for you, it's a shopping cart.

Take a look at the shopping cart the cheap hosting companies you're considering offers. How customizable is it? Is it easy to use? Is it confusing? Does it support the major payment methods -- from credit cards to PayPal -- both online and off?

Armed with these tips, you'll be in a better position to make the right decision when choosing your cheap web hosting company.
