Combined with award-winning web authoring tool set, which guide webmasters through an easy, step-by-step site building process, and features that help site owners attract new customers, the new unlimited offer is a uniquely compelling value.

The new changes to Yahoo Web Hosting are: Yahoo! will no longer offer three web hosting plans, and instead will offer one plan, called Yahoo Web Hosting, to all new customers. The new plan includes: - Unlimited disk space, which allows you to build as many web pages as you want - Unlimited data transfer, which allows you to support as many visitors as you want - Unlimited email storage 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee, which allows customers to cancel their service within 30 days of sign-up.

The Many Uses of Hispanic Stock Photos

By Steve Collins


If you are thinking hard on using Hispanic stock photos, you assuredly do not need to be educated on the importance of images that are culturally relevant. You know that business communities, constituencies, and opportunities are continuously being redefined. You also know that you have to employ images that are not coupled to stereotypes rooted in the past, but to images that correctly portray how populations live now as well how they imagine themselves living in the future.

If you have thought about all these things but are stressed about the quality of Hispanic stock photos that are presently available, you need to stop. The quality of stock photography has increased radically from the past, when stock photos consisted almost entirely of outtakes or seconds from commercial magazine assignments. Now, a good number of the most talented and accomplished photographers constantly create wonderful, new material to be used by stock photography agencies.

Once the image has been placed with the agency, you can go on-line and browse through a seemingly endless supply of Hispanic stock photos. The finest agencies are not only very selective, which means you get to choose from great images, but they also use market research to amplify the effectiveness of the image. For instance, knowing that Hispanic businesses have expanded three times faster than U. S. businesses as a whole, or that African-, Hispanic- and Asian-Americans total approximately one-third of the U.S. population helps the agency offer you the finest content.

Also, when you acquire a stock photo, the price that you pay depends on a myriad of factors. You can pay a one-time-fee to for unrestrained use of the image, you can pay to have absolute use of an image so that nobody else can use that photo, and you can pay several prices depending on whether or not the image is used in print, as outdoor advertising, indoor display, low resolution for the Web as well as a host of other factors.

Since ease of use, flexibility and quality best describe the current state of stock photography, what are you waiting for?

Create Your Website With A Series of 5 Easy Steps

By Darrel Hawes


If you want to launch your own website but are unsure what to do first, pay attention to the following list.

The first course of action is to get a domain name. There is a great deal of misinformation on this subject, so you may want to peruse the following criteria before settling on a domain name.

Select a domain ending with a .com.

Your domain name should be easy to spell...you don't want people misspelling your name and ending up at the wrong site!

Easily understood when spoken over the phone or in person.

Free of numeric characters and dashes.

Try to include alliteration or other elements to make it memorable.

Descriptive of what you are offering.

Now the following are general guidelines and there are a few cases where you may safely ignore a few of them. One case is where you have your own blog rather than on the behalf of your company. If that is the case, many people will use their own name for the domain name, even if it is difficult to spell.

Another of the criteria which is not a hard and fast rule is the "descriptive name" rule. Though that generally makes the most sense, many successful sites have broken that rule. The most important consideration is to put yourself in the prospect's shoes and what motivates him or her.

Next, select a web host to host your web pages.

Third, build your site. You will need to decide if you want the traditional "static" type site or if you want the newer blog format.

The fourth step is to put up content on your site. If you selected a blog format for your site, you will be pleased at how simple this step is.

Fifth, it is recommended that you construct a set schedule for getting out the word about your site. It is not much good to have a website that no one reads! Several methods of promoting your site exist, including marketing with articles or video, tell-a-friend scripts, the use of press releases, marketing on forums, and posting on blogs.

Putting up a website can be quite taxing but can also reward you in more ways than you might realize.

Effective SEO Starts With Choosing The Right Domain Name

By Bruce Hoover


Domain names are as important to websites as attractive covers are to books. An interesting domain name never fails to attract web surfers to click through and check out. If you think that putting all your innovativeness into the domain name will make it better, you are mistaken. Why does this happen? The answer lies in the keyword. If your domain name is innovative but not search engine optimized with keywords, the search engines will not be able to index it. In other words, your domain name must be appealing as well as crafted for the search engines. Read this article to understand how both these can be achieved.

Your first objective is to find a search engine optimized keyword that you can use in your domain name. Use a keyword analyzer to get this done. You will able to find such tools by searching on popular Internet engines. Think of a sample keyword that tells about what your site is and enter it into the tool. The keyword analyzer will give you many different versions for the single keyword you used. Choose those keywords from this list that describe more about what your website is about. A rule of search engine optimization is to use low competition keywords because they increase your chances of getting found. Now, you can begin thinking about your real domain name.

The company that provides domain names will let you know if a particular domain name is available. The domain name service will also suggest alternatives if the one you put in is not available. Put in your keyword first - this way you can better use this tool. You will get other recommendations if this particular keyword is not available to use as the domain name. You must definitely consider any suggestion that has the main keyword and a .com suffix. You will have to use your creative mind to think of options if this is not present. By putting in filler words in the domain name, you may be able to find an available option that still keeps your keyword.

Most people use 'a', 'an' and 'the' for such filtering purposes in their domain names. Search engines will overlook such words. Therefore, your domain name gets optimized and also remains better in the visitors' memories. Use numbers at the end of the phrase. Any number like 80 or anything else will do. If you get everything but the .com, this is what you must do.

You may opt for an extension other than .com, especially in the cause of very popular keywords. Other workable solutions are .biz, .net and .org. One more tactic is to use country or state specific extensions. This works if international or local marketing makes no difference to you. You can well understand that it is much wiser to be on the first page in the Indian Google than to be on the 86th page in the American Google! It is not complicated to have a domain name that serves well for your visitors as well as for the search engines.

Conclusion

Only 10% of the success of your domain name depends on your intelligence. The rest depends on the keyword analyzer tool. The last straw, when nothing else works, is to resort to the extensions.

Most Essential Features for a Managed Dedicated Server Plan

By Amy Nutt


For any corporation that requires dedicated web hosting but doesn't have the expertise to oversee and maintain it, a managed dedicated server plan is the perfect option. To date there are no industry standards to clearly define the management role of dedicated service providers, with hosts offering varying levels of support for a wide variety of prices. Services on offer include operation administration, firewall and antivirus updates, managed security audits, data back-ups, disaster recovery, and general system monitoring.

The choice of managed dedicated servers on the market is vast and it is important for a corporation to feel they trust in the knowledge and integrity of the web hosting provider. After all, a reliable and dynamic website is vital for customer loyalty. There are a number of key essential features to look out for that help ensure value for money and reduce the risk of choosing an under par website host.

Acquisition and installation

Managed hosting should provide a dedicated server package that caters to the client's specific requirements. It is vital to ensure the server provider can offer the kind of scalability and bandwidth the organization requires.

What services are included?

Some services are included in the monthly fee and some are additional. It is also important that a host can react quickly to implement and install new requirements for one-off special projects.

Performance guarantees

The major managed website hosts now commonly offer 99.99% network and data-centre power uptime. This is only possible if the host has an adequate power back-up system in place and a dedicated team of support and monitoring staff.

Help and support

Many of the top managed servers offer 24 hour help and support, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. One way to test the support desk is to search the various review forums online, which have endless customer reviews with honest accounts of their experiences with a provider. An essential consideration is whether the host provides a dedicated support team. If not, it is likely you'll spend ages on hold getting through to a different customer support worker every time. The ideal situation is direct access to a dedicated service representative who only works with a handful of accounts.

Hardware replacement time

The fastest offers on the market are for hardware replacement within 15 minutes of a failure, with more companies offering replacement within one hour.

Premium brand hardware

Hardware failure is still one of the largest causes of IT service failure and use of premium brand hardware is a must with the inclusion of RAID, which provides two or more redundant disks in the event of failure.

Application monitoring

One key feature of a managed dedicated server is the regular monitoring of the website, network, and server to ensure optimum performance.

Regular data back-up

Regular data back-ups are vital to protect website and customer information in the event of crashes.

Security monitoring

The host should be responsible for keeping updated on all of the latest security updates to ensure all reasonable steps are put in place to prevent a security breach. In the case of lost data, the host should be able to react quickly to recover lost information and prevent compromising customer security.

Power efficiency

One final consideration is to analyse the power efficiency of the managed server provider. Nowadays customers judge companies on their ability to minimize the impact they have on the environment. By selecting a server provider which aims to cut its energy consumption as much as possible and use renewable energy sources is a positive public relations exercise for any corporation.

3 Reasons To Have Your Own Website

By Darrel Hawes


It's never been simpler to to create a website. Here's three reasons why you need to do it.

1. You have something to sell.

It's rather obvious. If you have something you want to market, is there any reason not to do it online? Everyone else, including your competitors, is either already online or soon will be. If you have an existing marketing system, you can always set up a website complimentary to it.

What kind of site you're going to need depends on your business. You might need a site for product listings, or just to list info, like: manual, FAQs, etc.

Whichever type of site works best for your business, you can build it or hire someone to do it. Make it a priority!

2. You have something to communicate.

Maybe you just want to prove a point. You're not alone: there are many opinionated voices on the internet. Why not add yours?

It doesn't matter if it's serious or playful fun; you've got a story to tell and there's always room for your voice on the internet.

3. You should show people you're good at what you do.

If you're an employee, it may be that you don't have anything to directly sell. Maybe you don't have a voice that wants to be heard, either. But your job is very important, and you want to get the most you can out of it.

What better way to prove your worth than to have your own site? You'll be able to point to months or years of material that you have written. This will demonstrate that you are serious about your field.

It's never been easier or more rewarding to have your own website.

Enlightening Yourself on Dedicated Web Hosting

By Ramjilal


In virtual dedicated server hosting plans one does not get an entire computer just for oneself this means that the virtual server shares the resources of a web server computer with other customers of the web hosting provider. There is a difference between dedicated hosting and a dedicated server. When single web server is rented to a single customer it is called real dedicated web hosting.

For businesses that work with high traffic, dedicated web hosting is the idyllic way out. Hosting refers to the provided service, while the server is the equipment actually needed to handle high volumes of Internet traffic.

Application required for its operation and functionalities of web site falls under ones specific control. A dedicated server is an expensive service and you must plan to yourself in order to use it in full measure. Concerns regarding the maintenance, the security, and the reliability of one's web server are all handled by hosting provider.

5 Types of People Who Should Have Their Own Website

By Darrel Hawes


It is becoming simpler all the time to launch a new website. Should you do it?

If any of the following describes you:

Business owner,

You are planning to start a business,

Are an employee,

Are a hobbyist,

Or have strong opinions about anything

If any of these describe you, a website would benefit you.

Owners of a business: more people are coming online all the time, and therefore you are leaving money on the table if you are not online too.

New or prospective business owners: you should start off right and include a website in your marketing plan from the beginning.

Employee: yes you read that right. Perhaps some explanation would be helpful. As an employee, there are at least two kinds of sites that would be helpful to you.

First off, start a personal website to show what you know. The field does not matter; almost any would benefit from this type of site. A blog is the ideal platform for such a website. If you are job hunting in the future, your website will be a testament to your commitment and knowledge.

Second, if you are employed by a medium to large size company, you can start a site dealing with some aspect of the company. One possibility would be to chronicle the history of the corporation. Work on it in your spare time (not "on the clock") and eventually let your superior know about your project. This will position you as a knowledgeable employee and set you apart from everyone else.

Hobbyists: if you are passionate about your hobby, start a site to tell the world about it. Thousands, probably millions, have done the same; why shouldn't you?

Social commentator: if you have strong opinions in favor of or against some important issue, a good website will help to let others know. You can do more to influence the thinking of others with a website than almost any other medium.

How To Decide Where To Host Your Website

By Darrel Hawes


When starting a new website, you need to decide where it will be hosted. This refers to where on the internet the site "lives". A website has to have a place where it resides, just like an individual or family. It may be a house, apartment, condo, or motorhome, but there is one place they call "home" at any given moment.

Websites reside on web servers, which are computers attached to the internet which keep website pages and serve them up when people want to view them. A computer which stores websites is called a web host.

One choice you will need to make is if you will use a paid web host or a free one.

Going with a free web host is always a temptation, as along with the attractive price, they often include simple website creation tools. Although these sites have many advantages, you should not use one for your "main" sites. Along with the showing of ads, they might also remove your site without warning or might close their service. Even so, the use of one of these sites can be a great part of your marketing plan. You may want to take a look at Blogger.com and Weebly.com.

For your paid site, you can either buy space yourself or if you use the services of a web designer, they will often arrange or provide it for you as part of your fee. There are many capable web hosts available. When selecting a web host, you should consider the following:

Price: how much are they going to charge you every month? What features might you need that will cost extra?

Reliability: do they guarantee uptime? One of the best ways to determine reliability is to ask what others' experience has been. The least expensive web host will not be worth it if you cannot count on it being available when your customers or readers need it.

Administration: most web hosts today use "cpanel", short for "Configuration Panel" to administer the site. Cpanel is an industry standard these days and you should not sign up with any host that does not offer it.

7 Reasons You Should Start A Website Today

By Darrel Hawes


Once the decision is made to get your own website, when should you begin work on it?

The short answer to this question is: as quickly as possible. Here are several reasons why this is true.

First, you can't enjoy the benefits of owning a website until it is actually launched. The benefits may include additional revenue, and also can mean less time invested in customer service problems. One common use of a website is to provide documentation and instructions for using your products on your website.

Secondly, domain name age appears to be a factor in high-ranking results in the search engines. So you will want to register your domain name as soon as possible.

Third, it's rather difficult to begin getting the word out about your site until it's actually live. And because the impacts of web promotion add up over time... and because you can only do so much in any given day, you should get started on your promotion right away. Some of the means of promotion you can do are writing articles, video, write press releases, commenting on blogs, and marketing on forums.

Fourth, if your competitors have a website, you will want to start "catching up".

Fifth, any effort that you put in today will give you a lead over your competition who are not online. People often put off starting a website, believing it will be time-consuming and difficult.

Sixth, having a website will make prospects and existing customers feel better about doing business with you.

Seventh, having a website can give you increased "points of contact" with prospects. This is important because it often takes about seven contacts with you before a prospect is ready to make a buying decision. Those points of contact can be in person, by phone, by postal mail, or via the internet. If you have helpful articles or tools on your site, you can speed the process along dramatically.

Search Optimization Tips for Video (Video SEO)

By Mark Robertson


As you may have noticed, there is a ton of buzz out there about video search and marketing for video search engines, and there are a few posts out there with good information on how to upload your videos to these search engines, but most do not provide insight into the specific needs of SEO for video.

In order to successfully optimize your videos for search engines, it is important that you have some knowledge regarding the various aspects of search as well as the difference in techniques with regard to video.

Keyword research is important for Video search engine optimization. However, there are some key differences in terms of the methods that should be employed for keyword researching video terms. In order to know your target audience for seeing your videos, it is important to first conduct some research on keywords and compile a keyword list. This list can be obtained by doing some simple searches for a related product or service. There are not yet any keyword research tools specifically for video. Keep in mind that video searches at this point tend to be shorter keywords, not "long tail" searches. In addition, more than anything, your keyword list should have the word "video" in it. Examples - car videos, car video, racing video, automotive videos, etc....

Once you are through with this, next step is to look across the top video search platforms having the highest performance in overall views, ratings, and latency. The only way to measure your success is to view count.

As a side note, pay attention to the audience that is already searching for the terms that you identified in your keyword research. Are there closely related terms that you did not include? Take a look at videos that are similar in terms of the keywords that you are targeting and view the comments and feedback from users to find related terms.

Studies show that people who regularly provide user feedback tend to take frequent action on your uploaded video. This even includes visits to your actual website and end-point conversions.

If your video is popular in the video SERPs, you get the opportunity to submit fresh content. Many websites make a common mistake by providing the same content again and again. Don't make your video content to simply repeat what's already out there, instead, finding a fresh "content space" for your target keyword term.

Studies have shown as well that users who watch videos are less interested in watching videos that are more than a few minutes in length. Try to target your videos to be less than 3 minutes in total length. If you have a very long video, perhaps try to create multiple segments or clips from the video targeting videos with 1-3 minutes in duration.

Finally, make sure that you take advantage of the fact that you can brand your video with a watermark logo, text for your URL, and additional information to get users back to your website or business. One of the main points for doing video SEO is to get users back to your destination.

So if you wish to succeed in search engine optimization's mad frenzy race, video search engine optimization is an incredible new way to get exposure, and you have the opportunity right now, to get in the ground floor.

Organic Traffic Defined; and Why You Want It

By Darrel Hawes


"What is organic traffic?" is a question many new website owners and marketers often ask. For this question there is a simple answer: organic traffic is visits to your web page that are not directed there by a paid advertisement.

The reason it is called organic is because the owner of the website did not pay for an ad to draw the visitor to the site, but rather the visitor found the site himself, either through a search engine like Google or a link on a website directory or another site.

Good organic traffic is desirable because it requires no incremental cost or effort.

There are a couple basic strategies obtaining organic traffic.

The first is getting incoming, also referred to as backlinks. These are links on related sites that direct people to yours. This tactic assumes that people in your target market will bump into a link to your web page and and select it. The link may come from a directory, forum, static website, or blog.

The second strategy is SEO, or search engine optimization. This strategy simply means you take certain steps to rank as high in the search engines as possible for the keywords that are important to your business. There are many search engines, but the focus is generally placed on Google, Yahoo, and MSN, in that order, as the top three search engines worldwide.

SEO strategies are slightly different for each search engine, but the steps generally taken include: getting backlinks (a separate strategy on its own that is relevant for SEO purposes), keyword density, proper page names, and a proper site map.

There are many benefits of good SEO implementation. There's free traffic, the traffic doesn't require pay-per-click account management, and if it's consistent it can form the foundation of a revenue stream that can be sold.

The drawbacks of focusing on SEO include: organic traffic can be somewhat unpredictible, the search engines can change their ranking rules, rending months of work useless, and it can take some time to develop a decent level of traffic.

Regardless of your business model, if you intend to keep your website for any length of time, you would definitely consider seeking organic traffic through search engine optimization.

Search Engine Optimization, Some Basic Tips

By Ricardo d Argence


Traffic is exposure. If no one knows how to find your website or blog, then you will only be showing off your great site to friends and family. Page optimization refers to search engine optimization techniques used directly in the construction of web pages. And SEO is more than just engine optimization, it's about optimizing the page for human readers. If you really do that, serch engines will be glad with that.

It is crucial to be aware of your exercise of keywords, if you want to guarantee your website is full of valuable content. Stay away from keyword stuffing; it gives your website the appearance of ignorance and low principles. Also, search engines can punish your website for keyword overuse if they notice. Use of keywords sparingly and naturally will be ideal. A benefit of using a lot of keywords is attracting search engine traffic, but do not use too many.

Although traditional SEO identifies a keyword density of 2-7% as being ideal for on page optimization, changes in Google's search engine operations indicate that a density of only 1-2% may be preferable (and easier to read). Make a list of commonly used search terms that relate to your subject and subtopics and sprinkle them throughout your site. Google's latent semantic index (LSI) algorithm will also reward you for the use of similar phrases.

Keywords do not necessarily have to be restricted to the content of your page. Keywords need to be emphasized in page titles. A search engine recognizes your page content based heavily on the words you choose to utilize in your page titles. Without using keywords in the title pages, one must have many outside links that point to the specific page to increase web traffic. Keywords, when being integrated into your titles, should be placed as near the beginning of the title as is possible, but ensure that it is easily comprehended. It is important to have a page title for optimal results, as this becomes the link associated with the page in the search engine results.

Each page of your website should have its own unique,relatively short page title which utilizes the main keywords for that page. Remember that search engines only allow a certain number of characters to display in search results. Do not use your keywords more than two or three times in your title; for most keyword phrases, once should be enough.

Meta tags is a term you may read about when reading about "on page optimization" but because it was widely abused by spam, search engines don't acknowledge them. There are very few SEO professionals who continue to depend on meta tags for web page optimization. If you decide to go ahead, make sure you only use meta keywords and descriptions so that these words and phrases show up on the page and are not going to be considered spam.

Links from your site to other related pages will also enhance the popularity of your search engine. Consequently, it is imperative that the links provided are real and sent to sites with similar content that adds value to the visitors. Page optimization is not hard to institute and given that you offer the visitors to your site excellent and relevant content, it will largely benefit the success you will have with the search engines.

Two Types Of Websites You Should Have

By Darrel Hawes


Websites are an effective means of marketing your services and staying connected with your customers, prospective customers, etc. But you may be wondering: what type of website do I need?

The first thing you'll likely have to decide is what format to go with. In the first phase it comes down to using either a blog or a static site.

A static site is the generally used type that has been online as long as the internet itself. In fact, most websites are static sites.

Then there's blogs. Blogs are such a widely accepted alternative because they're simple to create and maintain. Out of the two options of static sites and blogging, blogs are the least formal.

So which should you choose?

You should know that many companies utilize both. They may have a primary, formal website and a blog for casual messages. Oftentimes the blog is separate from the main site.

If you're just starting out, it's hard to go wrong with blogging, at least at first. You can always build a static site afterward. Blogs like Wordpress are easy to set up and work with.

Another nice feature of blogging is that content and structure are separate. Altering your blog's look and feel will not effects your content.

You may find that a blog is all you need because they can often be customized to look like a traditional site. So, you can have the best of both worlds: the benefits of a blog with the look of a static site.

If at all possible, you should spend a little time planning in advance what you want your site to look like in the future. Look at other successful sites in your industry and try to "deconstruct" them. Answer the question of why they are successful and emulate some or all of the features of those sites. You don't have to copy them, just creatively adapt to your own situation.

7 Features to look for in your web host

By John Neyman


A web host allows you to put your websites on their servers so that people can access it. There are lots of web hosting companies around. Some have their own servers while others are resellers. Each web host provides you with different plans or packages. You should be very careful, while selecting your host or a particular plan. Most people pay high attention to content and website design and overlook the selection of a proper web host. Many times, they end up selecting a plan that costs more than their needs. Here are seven features that you should look at, while selecting your host or a plan.

1) Disk Space: Each hosting plan offers different amount of disk space. The price is directly proportional to disk space offered. So select a plan that provides you with enough disk space to host your web site. Also, make sure how much you should pay for each additional MB of space in case you need extra.

2) Scripting Languages: You should make sure that your hosting plan supports all the scripting languages that are used in your web application. For example, if your site is created using PHP and Perl, than you must make sure that your host supports both, PHP as well as Perl. Another example is that you cannot use Linux host for websites created in ASP.NET. Also, make sure to look at the version of scripting languages supported by your host. This is extremely important, as some scripts written in PHP 5, do not work in PHP 4.

3) Database: If your web application has a database backend, than you must make sure that your hosting plan provides you with required number of databases. Apart from number of databases provided, it should also provide you with the same database management system that's used in your web application. You might end up struggling to get your web application running, if your script uses PostgreSQL and you are provided with MySQL database.

4) Uptime: Go for a host that guarantees at least 99% uptime. To provide you with the guarantee of such uptime, your web host should have power generators (Diesel generators), backup systems and connectivity to multiple Internet backbones.

5) 24/7 Support: Make sure that your host provides you with 24/7 support by phone, email or live chat. This is most important if your business totally relies on your website. Your host must give you immediate support in case of emergencies; else you could lose your customers.

6) FTP Support and Online File Manager: FTP helps you in uploading your site quickly and setting permissions to your files and folders. Some hosts provide online file manager, which you can access directly from your account control panel (CPanel). Make sure that your host allows more than one FTP account. This will help you if you need to hire someone to maintain your website. Having more than one FTP account allows you to create a separate account for him rather than sharing your login details.

7) SSL Support: If you are going to host an e-commerce application, than make sure that your host provides you with SSL support. SSL certificate guarantees your users that their credit card information is not accessible to packet sniffers. Your host should have 24/7 monitoring facility of all incoming requests to prevent security breach. Before selecting your web host, take some time and go through all the features that are provided by your candidate hosts. Compare their prices. Call them up or email and clarify all your doubts. This will also show you how quick they are in responding to your requests. Stay away from hosts that claim to provide unlimited bandwidth. Do not select a host just because of their cheap hosting plan. If you have no choice but to go for a cheap web hosting than make sure that they provide you with guaranteed uptime and proper support.

Internet Web Site Hosting Services

By Ade Carone


In today's world, everyone wants a website. The average "Joe" wants to build a website for his welding shop, Granny wants a website for her knitting, and the list goes on. Internet web site hosting services have grown a lot in the last few years.

Reliability and customer service are two factors that you should not skimp out on. You never know when you may need to talk to someone. What would you do if your site was to suddenly crash?

You should choose your webhost like you choose your bride. It is an important decision and depending on your needs, your website may need a lot a server storage space, or perhaps you rather have a lot of bandwidth to capture as many visitors as possible.

If you are new to website design, you may wish to look for a webhost that offers free templates to pick from. Some hosts even offer you a free webdesign tool on top of that. Now that is great service.

What is a good price for webhosting? You should be able to find a reputable hosting service that costs less than 12 bucks a month. If you are paying more than 12 bucks a month, you are either paying for features you don't need or are getting ripped off.

You will be better off in the long run if you find yourself a company that offers yearly payment plans or monthly payment plans. Once you start paying for three year contracts and up, you are getting into risky territory.

If you get a decent host, you should expect to receive solutions to your problems very quickly. Any great company will offer customer service 24 hours a day, so be sure to look for this.

You don't want to stress yourself out when it comes to webhosting. Do things right from the start and research which companies are right for you. Read reviews around the web and see what other people are saying.

A Responsible Approach to Online Marketing

By John Neyman


When a person comes online, they are generally looking for information and resources. Many people are searching for a way to make money online and therein lies the setup for an unhealthy partnering of newbie and Internet savvy scam artist.

Everyone that has been online for a while and has set up a business needs to market that business to pay their bills and to grow their business. However, the Internet seems to be in need of growing a "conscience" when it comes to the ebooks, the software, and the tools that are offered to new people and those that are still searching for a method to better their life. Whether retail marketing or sponsorship program, each requires a lot of the person's time and resources to market to the new client.

Every day there are emails offering the newest marketing blitz, the most cherished system that a person cannot live without, the only method to making thousands of dollars as evidenced by the checks the marketer has received. Granted, there are disclaimers, but it is like saying something in a courtroom. Once the word is out, it is highly unlikely that the jury is going to forget what was mentioned. The same goes for claims to wealth.

Receiving an email with a product that seems legitimate and is followed with a heart-felt sales offer will encourage many people to continue and become a representative. The story behind how the marketer got to his position, how he felt during the start-up phase, and how he managed to obtain the goals set is much more interesting than how much he received in his last check. There has never been anyone that could spend that marketer's check but himself, so there seems to be no real reason to be showing checks in a sales solicitation.

After a person becomes a representative or purchases a product from a marketer, that marketer has a responsibility to help or lead the new person to obtain their goals. To keep retail sales from being cancelled, a follow up email on how to use the product or some of the benefits not mentioned previously or some general knowledge of how the product has helped others will be most welcomed. The follow up lets the new representative know that the marketer has his best interests at heart and that he is not just another notch in his sponsor's printout sheet. Knowing there is a caring person behind a great product or program is more than enough motivation to a new person. This can be an inspiration to them to do well and to continue to try knowing that they have someone in their corner should a problem or questions come up.

Many marketers send out multiple solicitations to join their respective companies and, honestly, just wait to see who takes the bait and runs with it. That is one method of marketing, but it seriously lacks a sponsor's responsibility. A marketer should help a new person as much as that person wants to work.

Giving ideas, helping them through hard and easy times, and sharing methods that seem to be working and letting the everyone takes what they need and leave the rest seems to be a responsible attitude. Everyone is different and new people have fear of failure on their mind and so trying to make everyone fit one mold is not a workable method. What works for one may not work for another, but it is helpful to the new person to know what the options are and to count on their representative to guide them.

To sum it up, if you are working programs or products that require sponsoring, then make sure that you retail products and that you spend time with those you bring into the program.

To do anything other than guide and share with those that you sponsor is irresponsible marketing and should be reconsidered.

Online marketing can be a great source of friendship and business profits that last a lifetime if promoted properly. Do your part to make the Internet a more responsible and caring place.

Asian Stock Photos Save Time And Are Effective

By Steve Collins


In today's business environment, companies have to remain progressively more competitive in a global market. As more and more companies and individuals from the Pacific Rim do business with each other, businesses struggle to find an edge, to separate themselves from the group. Organizations that recognize the multicultural nature of life will succeed, while others fail.

One way to ensure your company's highest chance of success is to use an ethnically appropriate image, like an Asian stock photo, to connect audiences to ideas, products, and other audiences. Words can be jumbled, translations might be twisted, but strong, enduring, familiar images always speak volumes. Everyday faces, clothing, and situations all work together to put a client, consumer, or audience at ease.

To choose the best image, you want to be most careful to pick one that is relevant to the way people really live. Do not fall into the trap of cultural references and imagery originating from departed eras. Rather, find an image that is oriented to the future, one that encapsulates your customers' imagination of what they want to become. By finding the best image, your company is that much closer to capturing the essence of a lifestyle or ethnic group.

Perhaps the most practical value of using an Asian stock photo is that the work has already been done for you. You may know what variety of photo or image you need, but actually getting it can present many problems. If you use a stock photo, there is no need to locate a model and photographer, hire a lawyer to draft release forms, set up a photo shoot, process the photo, and then pore over hundreds of photos of the same model, all the while trying to decide which one is the absolute best. The selection process has been done for you, offering up only the prime images from which to choose.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the right picture can be priceless.

SQL Database

By hispanic


The SQL or Structure Query Language is primarily designed to retrieve as well as manage data in an RDBMS or a relational database management system. It is also the standard programming language used for updating or gathering information from a database. SQL also makes it possible for the user to create as well as modify the database schema. It also provides control management over the database object.

The way this language is designed, it is very capable of modifying a database schema. With it, it can provide much control the way data is stored, managed, and organized into a database project. SQL is superior to other types of programming languages like C and BASIC because it is a set-based and declarative type of language. It is also capable of extensions, making it more functional and flexible.

The SQL language is further divided into different language elements. Included there are the statements that affect both the data and the schema of a SQL database. These language queries can be used to retrieve various forms of data like tables and scalar values from the database. It can be set to retrieved specified or conditional data that matches the query being sent.

Among the elements, the queries are the most common operations in the SQL database. It is performed with a declarative keyword SELECT, which retrieves the data from a table. However, the SELECT query has no standard effect on the stored data. In some cases, the SELECT query has an effect in the database similar to Microsoft SQL Server's SELECT INTO.

The only problem that most critics think of SQL is that it is not that easy to configure on other operating systems. This is probably the reason why some systems do not use this type of database, aside from it being quite complex and large in its file size. In spite of those criticisms, SQL still remains to be one of the popular databases management systems being used today. Its flexibility and manageability in handling data is very efficient too.

Optimizing Your Website

By Michelle Ming


People often discuss Search Engine Optimization in the internet marketing and website design world. They wonder how it works, if it's worth the time and money spent to optimize their site. They wonder how SEO techiques and methods help gain higher rankings for their websites. There are myths on how to effectively improve search engine results without having to hire an SEO expert: adjusting Meta Tags, utilizing doorway and gateway pages, submitting multiple domain names, resubmitting pages on a weekly or monthly basis, and in-house self adjustments. People often utilize these common unproductive myths of optimization to try and improve search engine results.

Originally created to better aid webmasters, Meta Tags were included to assist search engine tools discover what content a website provides. Though Meta Tags aren't directly visible by webpage visitors, they are imbedded in the HTML document and can easily be revised. Doorway and Gateway pages are also often treated as unwanted spam in most search engines. Cloaking Doorway pages redirect visitors without their knowledge to another page and are prohibited by most major search engines. Though Meta Tags, Doorway and Cloaking pages may seem to be quick and easy fixes for helping increase search engine results, they often do not work, and carry a risk of getting your website banned.

The old adage "less is sometimes more" is especially true when in reference to webpage optimization. Multiple websites are usually not cost effective because it requires unnecessary work to maintain and build multiple sites. When utilizing multiple keyword domains, not only does it narrow the focus of content on the site, but it also limits the ability to cross-sell your other products. Submitting pages to search engines is also ineffective because webpage information, once found by a search engine database doesn't disappear with time. There are many services that claim to resubmit on a monthly basis to help improve rankings, but this has no impact whatsoever.

Despite the various effective options on improving internet marketing exposure, many still try to optimize sites on their own. Fact of the matter is, website optimization is a very complicated task, involving far more that just tweaking Meta Tags or changing title tag keywords and phrases. The technical knowledge required for optimization of web design is specialized, and clients who utilize professional SEO services tend to rank at or near the top of major search engines. With search technology and algorithms which are used for defining rating on a search being reevaluated on a daily basis, the daunting task of website optimization is a task better left to the professionals.

Utilizing the services of a professional SEO company, corporations are able to gain much higher and prioritized rankings in search engines. Since most consumers run a search for websites, products, and services, corporations who utilize SEO services receive more targeted traffic to their websites. Not only does using a quality SEO campaign gain your company much higher and prioritized ranking in search engines, With optimized search results, those searching for a product or service like yours would most likely be directed to your website.

Using search engines like Google, MSN, and Yahoo, businesses are able to increase the exposure to their products and services while also enhancing their websites' search engine results. Corporations are constantly competing for consumers' business, advertising their low prices, superior customer service, and business results. Today's consumers have too many tasks needing completion, to be calling customer service for assistance. Today's consumers turn to the internet to self-service a lot of their business needs, and corporations have answered those needs by providing additional options and awarding the members who complete business transactions online.

To a travelling businessman, an easy to access mobile website makes his daily schedule of meetings, conferences, and flights a lot more manageable. To the stay-at-home mom who is trying to pay bills while the kids are screaming in the background and dinner is boiling over on the stove, a user-friendly and self-explanatory website design could be the reason why she brought her business over to your company. Consumers what websites that load quickly, are informational, and effectively convey their message. They want to login, take care of the business at hand, and log out. They want a search bar and a site map so they can go directly to the page they need, and not waste time searching for a hyperlink. Consumers want a shopping cart they can view, edit, and easily checkout from, when ordering products and services. Businesses recognize the demands of today's consumers and a growing number of websites provide consumers self-service capabilities, from ordering to cancelling their products and services.

The level of quality and efficiency of service that consumers hold businesses to has been steadily increasing over time. They expect technological advances to provide better, faster, easier methods for conducting account maintenance transactions from anywhere in the world. Due to these demands, businesses have sought ways to provide more cost-effective and streamlined servicing. Business owners have sought methods to ensure their websites are easy to understand and contain quality information which aids in promoting consumer self-servicing. There has been an increased need to constantly maintain and redesign websites to accommodate for such growth and demands. However, the quantity of available methods for account maintenance is insignificant, if the quality of servicing and business websites is insufficient. Despite the world being wrapped up in technological advances and conveniences, consumers have not forgotten the importance of quality service and products.

Business owners ensure their products and services encompass as many consumers in as many different ways possible, by encompassing a variety of marketing tactics. Many businesses have given the consumer the option to self email marketing materials from the websites, and some have even seen a significant increase to their marketing database by means of a "refer a friend" option that existing clientele can utilize. By marketing to consumers via email, business owners have the advantage of reaching consumers when it is convenient for them to view what your company has to offer. With the power and ease of online marketing, businesses have started offering discounts and rebates to their members for conducting transactions online. Many have encompassed a greater variety of web-based marketing strategies to optimize productivity and business results.

With all the demands of the consumer, business owners truly need to be creative and put their thinking caps on when it comes to website design. They need to create an effective and interactive website that encourages not only consumer self-service capabilities, but doesn't slow down with increased access and usage. An increasing number of websites now offer online troubleshooting support for consumers in both chat and forum-based systems. Websites also often have a "frequently asked questions" page, which provides problems and solutions to some of the most common scenarios. By posting a list of these questions and answers, the volume of assistance needed is greatly reduced. This allows the company to allocate that time and resources elsewhere for a more efficient operation. The business owners in this modern era have recognized the necessary changes of redesigning their websites and systems to provide an easy, efficient, and excellent method of providing quality care and assistance to their consumers, both around the clock and worldwide.
