			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is the aim of every Webmaster and website publisher that the costs of creating a website be recouped from the website itself. In other words, the website should be able to pay for itself and ultimately generate a profit. While many websites are created simply to provide information to users, many more are conceived with an economic goal in mind. But how do you design a website that converts into sales and turns a profit at the end of the day?</p>
<p>Website monetization, defined as converting your website traffic into revenue, can take many forms:</p>
<h2>Contextual Ad Programs</h2>
<p>Contextual ad programs, such as Google AdSense, show<span id="more-33"></span> contextually relevant ads on your website and then split the revenue with you derived from those ads. You simply place some code on your site and the ad program (Google AdSense) does the rest. Google analyzes your page and places relevant text or image ads on your page. So if you web page is about baking, then the ads shown would be about baking. When a visitor to your site clicks on one of these ads, you make money.</p>
<h2>Affiliate Programs</h2>
<p>Another way to monetize your website is through affiliate programs. Affiliate programs allow you to earn a commission for referring someone to another site who makes a purchase. Affiliate programs are a win win proposition for businesses and affiliates. Business get promotion and sales at no cost to them and affiliates get the opportunity to earn money without the expense of selling products themselves.</p>
<p>Amazon.com was one of the earliest sites to offer an affiliate program and their program remains very popular today. Becoming an affiliate can be extremely lucrative if you know what you are doing.</p>
<h2>Direct Ad Sales</h2>
<p>For almost as long as there have been websites, there have been ads displayed on those sites. If you’ve got your own website, you can sell your own advertisements and keep 100% of the profit. There are many forms of advertising you can sell on your site. These include, banner ads in various sizes, text links, and paid reviews. Include information on your site about the benefits and costs of advertising on your site as well as your contact information.  You can also choose to outsource your advertising to sites such as textlinkads.com. These sites will assess your site’s value and help you set a reasonable price for your ads. They handle all of the hassle of communicating with the advertiser and collecting the money but they also take a cut of your earnings.</p>
<h2>Sell Your Site</h2>
<p>Another way to monetize your site is by selling it. Once your site is earning money, it becomes an asset and has real value. A typical valuation method for setting a website’s price is twelve times a site’s monthly profit. So for example, if your site was generating $100 a month in profit, you might expect to sell the site for $1,200. You could of course get more than this amount if you found the right buyer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At first glance, shared web hosting and reseller web hosting look a lot alike. In both cases, a number of websites are hosted on a shared server. The difference is, if you rent out a “chunk” of a server that you don’t use, you can sometimes resell those resources to others and have your own shared web hosting business on the side.</p>
<p>In reseller web hosting, the host controls and maintains the server(s) and is responsible for updating software and performing backups and other server maintenance. If you purchase shared server space with the intention of reselling it, you need to know that you have access to your host, in case one of your customers experiences problems.</p>
<p>Reseller web hosting is not for everyone. Most small businesses that have shared web hosting have no need or desire for a reseller account. However, reseller accounts can also be used by those who have a number of websites and need a cheaper solution than multiple shared sites. In effect, these users will buy a reseller account, and “resell” space to themselves at less than what it would cost to set up a number of individual accounts.</p>
<p>Some web developers use reseller hosting as<span id="more-34"></span> a side business. Sometimes a company with a relatively small, simple website may want to sell some of the leftover disk space and bandwidth to recoup some of their business costs. And with your host being in the data center with the servers, you won’t be the one having to restart servers or put out fires at the data center.</p>
<p>Reseller hosting accounts with generous bandwidth and disk space can be found for only around $25 to $50 per month. This can save you a lot of money if you need room for multiple sites. It can also be useful if you only use a little bit of the disk space and bandwidth and want to sell the rest to another part to generate some side income.</p>
<p>If someday you hope to own your own web hosting business, then reseller hosting can be a good first step in entering the business. It is inexpensive, and allows you to control your clients, creating (and terminating) accounts while someone else takes care of the technical details of server maintenance. This gives you the luxury of concentrating on learning the business and generating some steady income.</p>
<p>Perhaps the biggest mistake people make when it comes to starting a reseller business is trying to do too much in a short period of time. If you end up promising a bunch of features you don’t deliver, your credibility will suffer greatly. After all, there are many, many web hosting providers out there ready to pounce on those customers who were dissatisfied elsewhere.</p>
<p>Some potential customers may require some convincing since you are basically positioning yourself as a middle man. They will need to know if they experience problems with their website they can contact you day or night and be confident you will be in touch with the data center as soon as possible to explain the problem and get a solution.</p>
<p>When done properly, reseller web hosting can be a good side business for those running small business websites. If you’re willing to be on-call for your customers and if you’re willing to go to the mat with the data center if necessary on behalf of your customers, then reseller web hosting can be a good way to generate a little extra income while your primary web business grows.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>To be on top of a search engine ranking is the goal of most websites. A search engine ranking’s main purpose is to separate the more improved websites from the junk websites. This is primarily done by the search engines to provide their users with appropriate and significant results as well as quality content.</span><span>To be set apart from the herd and to stand out among the millions of websites, a website owner has to think of ways to gain link popularity. Link popularity is a very vital factor used by search engines to determine the rank of a webpage. Link popularity is measured by the number of links made by other websites to your website.</span><span>Why is it so important to have link popularity and why would website owners want to make it to the top as far as search engine ranking is concerned? The most obvious reason for this is that the higher the ranking, the more traffic the search engine is sending your way. If your website’s primary purpose is to promote an online business, think of the saving you can make on your advertising budget because of the potential clients the search engine is sending your way.</span><span>Link building or link popularity can be effectively achieved through the link bait strategy. A website who can not create links naturally must try to make use of the link bait idea. Link bait is an effective tool to increase traffic in your website. More often than not, link bait is a part of a search engine optimization plan. Link bait is any feature or content in a website that attracts or lures other websites to link to that particular website. Link bait should be interesting enough to catch other people’s attention and to entice them to make a link.</span></p>
<p><span>For a link bait to be successful and to get the expected result of generating more traffic, a link baiter can make use of several hooks. Link baiting can take the form of news, informational, humor, contrary and fear contents.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>News hook</strong> – making your site the source of news tidbits and fresh information is one way of generating the much coveted traffic. Being the first to make a scoop on a current event will entice other webmasters to make a link to your website. News readers will turn to your website every time they want to know what is happening around the community and around the world.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Informational hook</strong> – the internet is an easy, fast and inexpensive means of access to information. Providing this useful information will encourage readers to make a link.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Humor hook</strong> – many people are looking for an outlet to break the daily routine. By providing jokes, funny stories and videos readers will be enticed to click on your site. Surfers will come back often in the hope of finding amusing content and will click on a link referenced link to see if other funny things are provided as well.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Evil hook</strong>- negative or mean statement about a person or a product will encourage a reader to click on a link to verify the validity of the statement.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Fear hook</strong> – is possibly the most effective link bait. A headline that stimulates the fear of the reader will have the effect of an influx of traffic. Readers will click on links to search for explanations.</span></p>
<p><span>Link bait may generate the desired traffic until your server crashes but after all is said and done, good quality content will push a website to the top of a search engine ranking.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote an article few days ago and an automated blog copied the article the minute I posted it here. 12 hours later, I searched Google for “How to upload files to your virtual private server” and I was surprised to find that the automated blog, is already ranking number one in the results. It was my article and its my blog that should be ranking there !</p>
<p>I’m used to having my articles copied without permission but seeing Google ranking a useless automated blog, instead of ranking my blog. That did heart a lot and I was really upset about it all day.</p>
<p>I complained about the issue on webmaster forums, I left a comment on the automated blog asking the owner to remove my article from his blog, I also contacted/reported all the blogs that have copied my content without permission. Guess what, no results came from all of this and it was a big waste of time.</p>
<p>When all hope was lost and I was ready to let go of the issue and move on. I remembered that Google always has a tiny url on every results saying: <strong>Dissatisfied? Help us improve.</strong></p>
<p>So, I went on and sent my complain. I did not expect much and I really did not expect a real human to read it.</p>
<p>Today, I searched again for “How to upload files to your virtual private server” and I was surprised that the automated blog, was removed from the results pages !</p>
<p>This whole issue wasn’t really that important but I learned from it something important, Google does care after all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you Google the words “best web host” it will give you millions of results. I know what you are thinking. Looking for a superior web hosting service will not be an exciting task. But it should not be the case. There are actually good services at an affordable price. Below are simple yet helpful points to consider if you want to make the most out of your web hosting plan:</p>
<p><strong>Basic &amp; Special Features:</strong><br />
Check for network uptime, disk space capacity, amount of data transfer, supported languages/scripts or databases, and security level. These are the basic things you need to consider regardless of what kind of website you are going to setup. They have a big impact on your site. Your website should be up and running 24/7 so that anyone at anytime can visit it.<br />
Features that may also be useful include various email functionalities, domain management, file administration, and other free add-ons and software. They can automate and ease up tasks in maintaining your site.</p>
<p><strong>Customer Service:</strong><br />
There are instances when your Webmaster already<span id="more-30"></span> checked everything and still it won’t just work. This is best time to test your hosting support and customer service. Customer representatives should be professional at all times. They should be able to address your concern immediately and with utmost consideration. Most web hosting companies nowadays have 24/7 online chat.</p>
<p><strong>Service Level &amp; Warranty:</strong><br />
Like every other service, you should look for one with an agreed service level. This guarantees their commitment in what they offer. Most people bypass this procedure but you must clearly understand their service level agreement. It will give you an idea what kind of service to expect. Also, most hosting companies now offer either a 30 or 60-day money back guarantee.<br />
Charges &amp; Fees.</p>
<p>Before charging your hosting plan to your credit card be sure that you also check other rates. If you are lucky and patient enough you can find great deals and packages. Also, ask about any other fees they might charge you for some services such as installation or configuration setup.</p>
<p><strong>Ask Around:</strong><br />
Surveys and polls are helpful in one way or another. You can check online to have an idea which web hosting companies offer excellent services at good deals. There are also surveys that list down top web hosting services by category – Windows hosting, Dedicated Hosting, etc.</p>
<p>This can save you time and somehow guarantees that you won’t pick the wrong service.<br />
You can also check forums and blogs regarding best hosting deals. Most of these networking sites are hosted by a third party thus they can give recommendations. Some hosting sites also post a list of their major clients to show that they have good reputation.</p>
<p>A dependable web hosting service is one that can satisfy your hosting requirements anytime and at any given circumstance. If it can provide more than what you need and expect to receive then I would say it is more than reliable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been 6 months since you started your blog and the statistics are not moving. Well actually they are but in a very uninspiring trend. To avoid this kind of disappointment and other headaches, get to know first the various things and tools that can help boost traffic on your blog. Prepare yourself to assume the role of a Webmaster since you will be doing a lot of work.</p>
<p>Below are ten easy-to-follow tips on how to improve your traffic, not necessarily in order. Its usefulness will still depend on your commitment and dedication.</p>
<p><strong> * Be the best</strong><br />
If you have a specific niche then I suggest <span id="more-31"></span>be an expert on it. Some bloggers look for common interests where they can acquire useful information and tips. You can offer books reviews, do’s and don’ts in blogging, online money making, vacation havens and any other topics you have good experiences and knowledge that you want to share.</p>
<p><strong> * Be connected</strong><br />
Include RSS, Bookmark, and tag contents such as Technorati, del.icio.us, Flickr, Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, etc.</p>
<p><strong> * Be thoughtful<br />
</strong>If somebody took the time and effort to write you and asks a question, spend time to answer them even if not instantly, especially if it was a suggestion or a good idea for your blog. This would mean a lot to your reader and builds a connection between you and your readers.</p>
<p><strong> * Be imaginative<br />
</strong>Make the most out of your space by incorporating comments, graphs, polls, meters and other interactive tools. This creates a lively environment and active participation from your members.</p>
<p><strong> * Be interesting<br />
</strong>Do not bore your readers. Be the kind of person that would exude excitement, information, and fun with his personality and posts. Know your visitors and what they enjoy getting to keep them coming back.</p>
<p><strong> * Be alert<br />
</strong>Proofread, proofread, and proofread. If you can have somebody to do it for you better. A perfect topic can wind up a disaster if simple typo errors and grammars are not checked.</p>
<p><strong> * Be generous<br />
</strong>It is sometimes appropriate and always fun to give out freebies such as eBooks, software, and other downloadable to your ever loyal readers.</p>
<p><strong>* Be active<br />
</strong>This is very effective during the early stage of your blog when you don’t have many regular readers yet. The photosphere is a huge network and can serve as a useful avenue to promote you site. Participate in other people’s blogs, forums, and other online networking.</p>
<p><strong> * Be smart<br />
</strong>Use simple and effective software in monitoring and maintaining your blog. Tools such as Blogger, WordPress.com, TypePad, and LiveJournal can automate some of your chores. It can also provide key indicators and stats on how well your site is doing and what you can do to turn the table.</p>
<p><strong> * Be organized<br />
</strong>Archive and categorize your posts. Some readers may not exactly remember the title of the article but the month or category type could be easier for them to note.</p>
