Search Engine Optimization & Marketing

Posted by | Advertisers Corner, SEO Secrets, SEO Terminologies, Web-Master Guide | Saturday 30 January 2010 2:11 pm

The term SEO and SEM are pretty famous but confusing at the same time. There is a single alphabet difference in both by writing but a difference of many pages in understanding. Of course, there is a lot more difference in in effectiveness though the purpose remains the same of Business Promotions and generation of Higher Revenues.

SEO the Search Engine Optimization has played a pretty significant role in up lifting the business promotion and developing new and effective strategies for revenue generation. Organic SEO always lead to better results and consequently better promotions. This is all about learning the search engine’s crawling algorithms like of Google.com, MSN, Yahoo and Alta Vista. The basic theme is to promote certain keywords that are highly user or the customer friendly that target your products or the services. Idea remains the same of Advertising as well but the purpose is to get the juice of traffic on any other similar business sites that relates the same philosophy of your business. Not an easy but strategic in applications if you really know the advanced techniques to get this done in a natural way.

SEM, Search Engine Marketing has two aspects one of the SEO and the other of Marketing. You’d rather be afraid what the hell I’m talking about? I’ll say yes.. SEO is in fact a sub component of SEM but it main deal with the Marketing and the direct advertising. In apparently the purpose is to get direct intentions of the customers rather than to get the juice of the traffic on specific site. This may include some nofollow tags as well since the aim is to get the maximum intention and attraction of the customers.

The term will rather be more clear if I say, SEM has two pillars one is the SEO and the other is Internet Advertising.

PodCast about your business at youtube.com

YouTube.com a free platform of millions of opportunities to improve and propagate your business across the world. It provides multiple facilities and options where you can get the maximum exposure for your businesses. I believe, none of the marketing option was so effective ever before as of the youtube videos. Prepare your business profiles, product introduction & features, services and then upload them in the form of video over the youtube. You really can’t imagine what kind of magnificent result you’ll be getting from.

Interesting thing is that, even providing such an effective performance for your ROI, it demands nothing except the strategies to make and launch video in targeted categories. Once you have made up with few videos, you can also put them in video response to any related and good page rank and traffic videos to get more indexing and statistics.

How to select Best Website Hosting Solution

Posted by | Advertisers Corner, Web-Master Guide | Wednesday 22 July 2009 9:07 am

Once the website is developed with the contents and the necessary requisites, we always need a better solution for its hosting over the Internet.

To find a full featured hosting provider is really not so easy and we always have to experience first and then to select the right one amongst the many. What my suggestion is, instead of practicing over the effectiveness or the flaws of the hosting providers, one must gather enough information about the hosting providers. Below is a small check list of necessary items that makes a full featured hosting.

Hosting Price?
Domain Names Price?
How often they get offline for maintenance?
Support response time?
Sub-Domain flexibility?
Email Account?
Server Speed?
Bandwidth?
Disk Space?
Domain Add-on facility?

Besides above, some hosting providers facilitate with many other feature and offers.

I have account with godaddy.com and blogger.com as well but I could find best for my business is really a Lunarpages.com. It not only include all the above mentioned features but also benefit with the special offers like currently they are offering almost $50 discount for Pre-Renewals for three years. Of course they have a very feasible charge as low as $4.5 per month for full featured hosting with un-limited bandwidth, un-limited disk space 1000 email accounts and 1000 sub-domain flexibility.

Another suggestion is to evaluate amongst the different hosting providers by comparing their features, benefits, and prices etc.
