At the
time of this writing there are over 2,000,000,000 website or
web pages on
the Internet. All of them battling for the #1
positioning on top keywords relating to their website.
Most hoping, at best, to get their websites listed on
popular Search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Hotbot,
Altavista, AOL (and others) that located on the
Internet or what is commonly known as "The Information Super Highway."
One of the
questions that many webmasters ask themselves on daily basis
is "How can I increase my Search Engine rankings so
that my website can become number
one?" Probably the real question that webmasters
should be asking themselves is "How can I increase
obtain quality website traffic?" The reality is
Quality Traffic ultimately translates into quality sales. We
will be the first to tell you that number
of #1 positions are limited on Search Engines. Everyone can't be
#1 and that's a fact. Achieving TOP positions on
Search Engine is not easy and does not happen
overnight. Fact: It cost money and most of all it
takes time to achieve these positions. One thing you
should also know...these positions change every single
month. That means that you or someone who manages your
Internet business must be dedicated to ensuring that your
Internet business is always Search Engine Optimized
(SEO). We will discuss this subject in details shortly

So
lets begin: What's
in a domain name?
The
question has been poised many times "What's in a
name?" The short answer "Everything!"
Your domain name is probably one the most important factors
that you need to consider in building an Internet business.
No one will see your face, unless you post it up on your
website. One of the worst
things that you can do is pick a domain name that starts
with the letter "Z". Unless your business
name start with that letter. If you must use the
letter "Z" you better
have all of your "T's" crossed and your "I's"
dotted. Why you ask? Some of the "Big Dogs"
like DMOZ.org list
websites in alphabetical order, and if your domain name
starts with the letter "Z" take one little guess
where you are going to be featured in that list? The
short answer is...at the bottom of the pile. Now I'm
not telling you that you have to have a domain name that
starts off with a number 1 or the letter A. What I am
telling you is that having a domain name that starts off
with the letter " Z" can and may have some
negative
drawbacks. There are many ways to overcome this unique
challenge and I'll
talk about how to do this later.
Those
who are new to the Internet or new to web designing have
probably asked themselves what the heck is a domain name.
In simple terms a domain name is basically the name that is
used to identify your website. It does not necessary
have to be the exact name of your business but it identifies
your website. Now the semi-tricky part. How and
where does one get a domain name? There are thousands
of websites that offer this service. The first place to
look is right
here. One of the features of KlickonUSA.com
is you can get your own domain name(s) for $12 a year for
.com/net or /org domain names. The whole process takes less
than 5 minutes. Many people register their own names as
their own domain name. I personally have purchased the
domain names for my daughter and myself (incase either one
of us becomes famous one day). One thing to remember
is as you purchase domain name(s) the more years of
ownership that you purchase in advance the cheaper the cost
will be in the long run. Other companies like Register.com
charges $35.00 a year for .com's domain name registration
service. One thing that you must remember is that once you
purchase your domain name you own that name theoretically
for the time period which you have paid for i.e. 1 year, 2
years 3 year or more. If you fail to renew the
registration of the domain name before it expires that
particular domain name will expire and someone else will be
able to purchase the expired domain name. A whole book
can be written on the subject of "Expired Domain
Names". I will cover some of the points in a
later series, however, you should know that it is important
to keep your domain name current. That means you
should never let your domain name expire unless you have no
further use for it. There are people and companies
lurking in the dark who make their living buying and selling
expired domain names.
Don't be
in such a rush to go out and get a domain name. I highly
suggest that you take some time and give your domain name
the serious time and consideration that it deserves. Once you have done this
it is now time to go out and put a down payment on the mortgage for
your new website. What you are looking for is called
Web hosting service. This is the place where you are
going to "park" your newly acquired domain name.
Again one must be very careful in choosing a web hosting
service. I'm not saying that this is like buying a
house, but trusts me, pick the wrong type of service and you
will regret that you ever moved into the neighborhood.
You web hosting service is vital because your website will
be parked" there. If the hosting company
service is not reliable, meaning their server is constantly
down then you are going to have MAJOR problems. What
this means is that when their server is down, so is your
website. This means while their server is down no one
will be able to access your website. Translation, your
24/7 moneymaking machine is not operating 24/7. A
server that is down periodically can be a webmaster's
nightmare. So it is imperative that you select a web hosting
service that is reliable, dependable and has a high rate
connect time. One thing to remember, today's
internet surfers have VERY LITTLE patience connecting to
websites that are up running correctly. With over 2,000,000,000 websites on the Internet do you think they are
going to take the time to remember your website and return back to it because they couldn't access it in the first
place? Trust me, having a website that is not accessible is
NOT a way to get REPEAT visitors! Our website offer
reliable and dependable web
hosting service packages starting out at $5.99 per
month with NO contracts. Other companies want to lock
you into contracts. However, we are confident about
the quality of our service that we are able to offer web
hosting service at low prices without any formal
commitments. This website is hosted on the same server.
Now that
you've obtained your fabulous domain name and you have your web
hosing service in place. What's next?
What Webmasters or entrepreneurs
really want is not just traffic coming to their
websites, but rather, their website should be designed so
that people or businesses who visit their websites become repeat visitors because of the
products, services or content that is featured on their websites. The name of the game is not to just get hits.
Your website should be designed so that you maintain a
constant flow of REPEAT traffic or visitors to our website.
