I See It So Often, You Could Be One !!

Are you one of those people that uses a Yahoo, Bigpond, Hotmail or Gmail account for business?

When you can have your own email account that is your personal domain email that looks professional, offers flexibility and promotional value to you.

Why advertise and promote your ISP Internet Service Provider (like Bigpond) or Hotmail or the like when you can be promoting your name, your business name or the products or services you offer.

Why am I saying it is better to use your domain email?

• I see it so often, people change their ISP and loose their email address.
  Case Study – Rosie of Rosie’s Bouquet is relocating from The Broadwater Plaza just west a little along Hope Island Road to Marina Quays Village Markets at Hope Island and Bigpond won’t let her transfer her Business Bigpond Email address or emails to her Home or another Bigpond Account…. would that be a headache in business?
• How professional does it look to have an email address gr8discounts@gmail.com when for no cost you can have mattresses@gr8discounts.com.au . Now is that more descriptive? It describes what you do and who you are.  And it also makes it easy for them to work out your website address.

So my tip for you is:

Use your own domain email address so you have more control and you are promoting you and not promoting Gmail or your ISP. You and your business will look more professional and project the image that customers want to see.

I Frame Websites that are Search Engine Optimized

What is an IFrame website?

IFrame is a website development process mastered by Find Net Solutions . It is a relativity simple matter when you know how! to Search Engine Optimize a second, third or fourth domain name using the one website.

I Framing is much more effective than just parking, pointing or forwarding a domain name, however it does take longer to do and does require some web hosting space.

With out giving all the secrets way an IFrame is a website frame, framing an existing website and using another domain name, title, description and page content, privacy policy, terms and conditions and a site map.

To the average person it looks like the real website, but to search engines it looks like a completely different (depending on description and content text) professional website with a site map, privacy policy and terms. The search engine can index the I Frame website and list key words and key phrases from the title, description and content. So it is like duplicating the site and tweak the keywords description and content to suite.

I Frame Example

This is an example of a website recently completed by Find Net Solutions and a second domain name that is an I Frame.

www.HopeIslandOnline.com promotes Hope Island and the Sanctuary Cove regions of the Queensland Gold Coast of Australia. Hope Island Online Coming Events, Local Business Directory, Community News and Views and the Northern Gold Coasts Celebrity Chef’s Favorite Dish. All this has been mirrored with an I Frame.

www.HopeIslandOnline.info also promotes Hope Island and the Sanctuary Cove regions of the the Queensland Gold Coast of Australia. Hope Island Online Coming Events, Local Business Directory, Community News and Views and the Northern Gold Coasts Celebrity Chef’s Favourite Dish. All this has been mirrored using an I Frame. The same LOOKING website to humans, as it has a transparent skin or frame. The search engines only sees the text and links, while humans see the layout, images and text content.

Relevance Part A – SEO Search Engine Optimization

In the last SEO Blog,  Part 1 SEO I gave you the stats showing the commercial value between search engine ranking & how by just increasing just one position in a Google search result will drastically increase the traffic to your website.

The little tips that I will share with you over the next few issues collectively can help increase your website traffic & profitability.

As previously discussed relevance is the key to good free search engine ranking (organic listing not PPC – Pay Per Click).

Let’s talk about a few aspects of what search engines consider relevant.

Page views -
If your web site gets very little traffic then it isn’t considered by search engines as being as relevant or an authority compared to another web site that has more traffic. Even though the content may be similar.

Tip – make your web site your home page so that every time you open a new web browser your site gets a visit. To do this go to Tools, Options, Main. This tactic may not carry a lot of weight but every bit counts.

Site Map -

SEO with Find Net Solutions for Google Indexing

Search engines are placing more importance on the use of site maps. The site map is a page that lists all the pages of a web site & how they are linked. The site map can help people navigating around your web site. The site map also helps search engines to index your web site.

Google sees web sites with a site map as a web site that is probably easier for a visitor to find the relevant information they are searching for, thus site maps can help your search engine ranking.

Page Layout & ease of navigation:
A web site that has a good layout that is structured so that visitors can navigate around it easily can help with Google ranking. Google gives more love ‘Google love’ to web sites where visitors can get the relevant information easily.

The structure of the source code -
This is the code behind the page, that search engines see when they look at a web site (the stuff you don’t see) is very important as the more logical & clear the source code the easier that the search engine can read your web
site content therefore improving its ranking.

In the next article we will discuss a few more web site factors that affect the relevance of your web site.

Here are two handy Image Programs that are Free

With more people using CMS Content Management Systems to self update there website and with the need to utilize the photos off their digital cameras. We regularly get asked how to crop and enhance images, make banner adds and re-size photos & how can you do it effectively with out buying more software.

Well here are two free programs. The first was sent to me by Eric Hamm the creator of Frugal Themes for WoprdPress, it is a free alternative to Photoshop. The second is a free program to re-size eg thumbnail multiple images, great if you have a shopping cart or image gallery, I was introduced to this by one of our switched on web developers Jay Tucker.

Gimp, is a Free alternative to Photoshop

Once you get past the odd name, you’ll find Gimp to be an excellent free tool for editing images for you web design projects or any creative online work.

It’s basically a free alternative to Photoshop and includes many of the advanced tools that Photoshop provide. The biggest gripe I find is that those who are used to Photoshop, find the interface to be different enough that they have to basically re-learn another not-so-simple image editing program. But once you play with it a bit and learn the basics, you’ll find it to be a great addition to your web design tool box.

You can find Gimp HERE and learn how to use it with their excellent Gimp tutorials HERE

What Do You Mean Hosting is not Hosting?

Make your website work for you

Remember that famous TV advertisement for Castrol Oil, ‘Oils ain’t Oils Sol‘. Were the Mafia Boss demonstrates that the effectiveness of the oil is more important in the long run than the cheap upfront cost that Sol paid for a  budget oil.

Well guys hosting is the same the cheap option is not always the best solution for your business, So Hosting ain’t Hosting Guys.

What prompted me to run this article is that our help desk recently fielded a few questions about effectiveness of hosting, two that stood out were:

1. Why don’t I just host our website on my mates server at his house?
2. Why is some hosting dearer than other hosting, they all look the same?

This is all relevant to how much weight a business places on what can be the businesses most time and cost effective  means of communication and advertising.

be easy to find

Your website hosting is the space on the internet that connects your online presence, your website and emails to the world wide web. The path to the server that your website sits on needs to be a good fast reliable connection. It needs to be like a 4 lane highway not a goat track. Your website needs to be hosted in a professional data centre with an A1 rated data connection for speed of data transfer (like a 4 lane highway). The data center needs to also have full security, climate control, automated back up of data plus the server needs to have a reliable UPS uninterrupted power supply. Now this can not be done in someones spare bedroom.

You need to be found easily.

With search engine robots and spiders crawling around the web finding and listing website content. This is done constantly so the people Googling can get the best search results for their search. Now if your website has a data connection to the web like a goat track how easy would that be for search engines to index your website, as it really should be ranked.

The other point is cost of the service you are getting. Now realistically to have and maintain a professional web server does cost money. You have the constant upgrade of hardware, software, software licenses, technical personnel, customer support, plus the other costs for security, climate control, UPS etc.

Now if the hosting service is dirt cheap what aren’t you getting? Or is it that their are so many hundreds of website sharing the same hardware & software resources.

Now I am not saying go for the dearest hosting service, as the dearest service may have to be dearer because their overheads are much higher, or they are less efficient. So find the common ground between dirt cheap and really expensive. As long as you get effective web hosting & the rule of thumb is small business should expect to pay about $1 a day for quality, reliable hosting and personal customer support

As a business owner we need to ask ourselves a question or two:

• How many extra products or services do I need to sell to cover the few extra dollars a month for good support and great web hosting.
• Can I afford to have the downtime if my websites and emails crash.
• How important is having a website that is easy for search engine to find and rank & how will the increased exposure to clients help my bottom line?

Google Search Result showing FREE Listings

Here are the stats about traffic in relationship to page order on Google from the world leading authority on Google traffic Market Samurai http://www.marketsamurai.com

The most visited website is the one at the top of the first page of search results it is Ranked No.1
Rank 1 will receive approx 3.5 times more traffic than the website directly below in Position  2
Rank 1 will receive approx 5 times more traffic than Rank 3
Rank 1 will receive approx 7 times more traffic than Rank 4
Rank 1 will receive approx 8.6 times more traffic than Rank 5

Rank 1 will receive approx 14 times more traffic than Rank 10 (last listing on the 1^st page)
As soon as you go to page 2 of the search results, the stats really blow out.

As an example let’s say you are in position No10 and you get 100 visits a week to your website. If you can optimise your website and increase the Search Engine ranking to position No.1 you will have approx 1,400 visitors a week.

Would it be worth knowing the key factors that can help you achieve this?

Great read on…

Your website is like having a shop or an information booth. The idea is to have it so we have good relevant traffic visiting your site & then we can convert that traffic into business.

That is where Search Engine Optimisation comes in.

Search Engines will rank your website ‘Index’ your website depending on how relevant they think your website is to the search word or search words used by the person doing the Search engine search.  Unless you pay the search engine for that ranking, that is called PPC (Pay Per Click) we will leave PPC for another E-News.

Were your website will be index exactly as relevant it is in relationship to the hundreds, thousands or millions of other web pages that also have those same search words in their title, description, content or source code etc.
