How to increase your revenue through google adsense

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:51:00 +0000

In this article I want to give you a few simple ways to dramatically increase your AdSense income.

The bottom line:
To increase AdSense income all you must do is increase the number of click thrus you receive.

There are two ways for you to increase your total number of click thrus. You can either increase your website traffic or you can increase your AdSense click thru rate. Now, getting more traffic would be great, but let’s be honest increasing your web site traffic is much easier said than done. So, let’s focus on increasing your AdSense click thru rate instead.

4 Tips to Increase Click Thru:

Match your AdSense to your website:
You want your AdSense ads to appear as seamless as possible. Your goal is to match every aspect of your AdSense ads to the theme of your website. What you want to do is remove the borders from your AdSense ads and match the background color of the ad to your website. Additionally, you want to match the color of the AdSense links to the rest of the links on your website plus choose an ad format that makes the ads look seamless.
For example, if your web site has a white background and the default color of your hypertext links is blue you will want to remove the border from your AdSense, make the background white, choose either a square or a rectangle as your ad format instead of a skyscraper or banner, and yep you guessed it… make the links blue.
Placement Matters:
Where you place your AdSense ads is just as important as how they look. Luckily, there are only a few concepts that you need to worry about in order to increase your click through rate.
•The more white space around your ads the better
•The closer to the top of the page the better
•The closer the left of the page the better
Follow these concepts and I can assure you that you will see an increase in your AdSense click thru rate. (It really is that simply!)

Google Search:
Now this is one that I rarely see webmasters take advantage of. The Google AdSense program gives webmasters the ability to add a Google search box to there web site.

Why should you use this function?
Well, when a website visitor chooses to use this search box from your website your AdSense ID will be imbedded in ALL of that visitors Google searches. If that person does 1 search or 50 your AdSense ID will still be imbedded throughout process.

Why is this so great?
If that visitor clicks on any of the sponsored listings while surfing from your web site guess who makes money. YOU! If they hit the back button and click on another ad guess who makes money? YOU! This is absolutely huge. Through this function you now have the ability to earn multiple click thrus from the same visitor on the site visit. Please don’t overlook how powerful this is. Besides, most of your website traffic will just be browsing anyway, so I why help them find what there looking for and make a little coin along the way?

Tracking:
Just like any other type of marketing, you won’t know what’s working the best for you on your web site unless you track the different things that you’re experimenting with. Set up a few Google AdSense channels for the different ads that you’ll be placing on your website. Then just see which channels are working the best and stick to those.
That’s it!

Follow the tips above and I can assure you that you will absolutely double your AdSense click thru rate and your AdSense income. The best part about the four tips I’ve shared here is that you can put them into action immediately and see how they will work on your website right now. Who knows… you could be making twice as much by tomorrow by just making a few simple tweaks here and there.

10 SEO Tips Everyone With A Website Should Know

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:47:00 +0000

I’m going to start with the basics here. The following are ten things everyone with a website should know to gain online visibility in search engines. These are the basics of the basic and when applied will give you a firm basis to start a long term Search Engine Optimisation campaign. The structure of your website is important, just as much as the structure of your link building campaign. I know these may seem rehashed, but they are the building blocks for a good SEO campaign.

1) A Keyword Rich Domain. While not always possible, when setting up a new website, consider setting it up on a domain that contains the sites main keywords. Search Engines give considerable weight to a website with keywords in the URL. Never use a keyword stuffed domain (ie. www.your-key-word-here-and-another.com)

2) Title Tag.

The title tag on your page is the most powerful on page factor you can control as a webmaster. Use it wisely. Carefully choose which keywords are going to go in here and remember that it will be read by humans as well as search engines. Never stuff keywords into your title. It only devalues its weight and makes you look spammy.

3) Heading Tags.

The second most important on page factor you can control is the heading tags. Not only are they useful for search engines to determine the context of your document, it is semantically sound HTML practice.

4) Bold, Strong and Emphasis Tags.

While there is no set answer to which carries more weight, assume that both are the same. Emphasize keywords in bold using the BOLD or STRONG tags. Search engines give more weight to keywords if they are emphasized.

5) Keyword Rich Text.

It is always possible to rank for search terms when they are not on your page but using them sparingly will only help increase your search engine visibility for these keywords and

6) Structured Navigation And Correct Internal Navigation.

Make it easy for search engines to index your entire site. Use a text link navigation. I this is not possible, use a sitemap or second text navigation in the footer of your site.

7) Keyword Rich Internal Links.

Use your sites main keywords in the anchor text when linking to pages within your site. This not only describes the link to your visitors, it also lets the search engines know what content is on the page being linked to.

8) Avoid Flash.

While some search engines claim that they can index some flash content, it is still in its infancy. An entire website does not need to be built in flash. Use it wisely and make sure any text that is output by flash is rendered as HTML text so search engines can see it. If possible, avoid flash completely.

9) Avoid Duplicate content.

Search Engines do not like duplicate content. Make sure all the content on your website is different on all pages. Many navigation elements, headers, footers etc. is the same, but make sure that each page has marginally more unique content. Some search engines give a penalty for duplicate content, while others just ignore it. Just make your content unique. If anything else, it benefits your site visitors.

10) Keyword Rich, Relevant Inbound Links.

A relevant, keyword rich inbound link is the holy grail of online marketing. There are many ways to get quality inbound links to your website. Directory Submissions, Article writing/marketing, Press Releases, Posting in forums and blogs, Link Exchanges. Obtaining inbound links is the undisputed king of SEO tactics.

Free Domain Name Registration

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:45:00 +0000

Free Domain Name Registration

Why are you giving away free domain names?

Simple. We believe that if you choose Glowhost as your web hosting provider, you will be so happy with the features and service that we provide, that you will have no reason to switch to another provider for your hosting and domain name needs. because of this, as our way of saying thanks, we actually purchase and renew your domain name, free, for the life of the web site.

Sounds great! How do I claim my free Domain Name?

All that you need to do is sign up for any qualified shared web hosting plan. Once we have your first payment, we will send you the link to the site where you can register the free domain name.
So what other hidden fees or contracts are there?We will make this simple, NONE! And there is no further obligation by you to stay with us.

(yeah, we just might be crazy...)

I already own my domain, can you offer me some other incentive?

No problem. If you own your own Domain we suggest you transfer your domain to our sister site, InstaPro.net. Doing this ensures your domain will renew at $9.00 or less per year. The domain transfer includes a free one year extension on your domain renewal. All the time remaining on your existing registration is transferred to InstaPro.

Beware other hosts that claim a "free domain" as more often than not they register it in their name, then make you purchase it for a high price or enforce a lengthy contract to change the registration to your name. GlowHost does not resort to shady tactics to keep our customers. The domain is yours, plain and simple.
What domain extensions are available?Currently we offer .com, .net, .org, as free domains.

How to Make Money Selling Domain Names

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:44:00 +0000

Make money selling domain names online. This article will tell you the process of selling a domain name on Godaddy using their TDNAM - The Domain Name After Market.

Instructions

1.
Step 1

Make money selling domain names online at TDNAM.com or you can sign up through Godaddy.com and select the Auctions tab for The Domain Name After Market. First before you start selling domain names you must first own domain names and before you buy a domain name you must know what kind of domain names to buy and for how much.
2.
Step 2

Sign up with Godaddy for free, they are the largest domain name register in the world. This is a great place to organize domain names either for the use of website or reselling on TDNAM. Once you have an account with Godaddy write down your account number. You will need it later when you start to purchase domain names.
3.
Step 3

Go to eBay to find other people selling domain names and domain name lots for cheap. Many domain names can be purchase at half the normal cost. Good domain names are easy to type, remember, and spell. Try to find domain names that have keywords that make sense. Stay away from domain names with numbers and hyphens and your domain name should be no more than 20 letters. Once you win an auction on eBay contact the seller and give them your account email address and phone number so they can quickly initiate the transfer. You will receive an email later on requesting you to accept the domain name transfers.
4.
Step 4

You can also find affordable domain names available at Godaddy by searching their database or by going to DomainsBot and coming up with your own names. If you know someone who is about to be famous or a new phrase that is about to make headlines then you should try to buy the domain name before it becomes world famous. Many of the shorter domain names and common names or phrases are already taken but there are still many great domain names still available to buy.
5.
Step 5

TDNAM - The Domain Names After Market also has names you can buy for as low as $15. They come in the form of $5.00 buy now auctions but there is $10 processing fee on top of that. If you can however pick up a quality domain name from TDNAM you can resell it back on TDNAM for a profit. The best names right now are keyword rich or short abbreviations for company names. The keyword rich domains are based on what people are searching for online. If you buy a domain name that is exactly what people are looking for then the domain will be more valuable. Also plural versions of that name are sometimes worth picking up but for the most part non plural names sell for the most profit.
6.
Step 6

Once you've acquired a domain name and you want to resell it on The Domain Name After Market just go to TDNAM.com and login with your Godaddy user name and password - or if your already logged in to Godaddy just click on the Auctions tab and then scroll over the Sell tab once your on the next page and click on List a Domain once the you see the menu pop down. If your not a member of TDNAM already then you must pay $4.99 a year to become an active seller. It should be free to buy domain names but they do charge you to sell them. It's worth it!
7.
Step 7

Once you join TDNAM you have the option of selling domain names as a Buy Now Auction, Offer/Counter Offer Listing, or a 7 Day Public Domain Name Auction. Choose the domain selling options that best fit your domain. This is an easy process that will guide you through each step of the way. 7 Day Auctions are a good way to start and you need to price your domain name at a price that you think will sell. Over pricing will scare away buyers. To determine the value of your domain name look at similar names by searching TDNAM for other auctions with domain names like yours. That should give you some idea of what the market is like.
8.
Step 8

If that becomes to complicated or your not producing any results then try selling domain names on eBay auctions. eBay has tons users who buy and sell domain names in online auctions. It only costs about $0.35-$4 to list your domain name depending on your asking price. Try selling your domain name for 4-5 times what you paid for them which should be around $40-$50. If you don't get any interest in your names you should consult a domain name forum for suggestions about what you names should be priced at or if your names are worth anything at all.
9.
Step 9

If you sell a domain name on eBay you will need the person Godaddy account information email address and account number on file. Make sure to send them an email after the auction ends asking for this information. Don't send the email or initiate transfer until after receiving payment. To push the domain name to another Godaddy account login to your Godaddy My Domain Names section and check box next to the domain you want to transfer and then click on Account Change at the top. Choose Use details from specified customer account and type in their Godaddy account number and email address correctly. Double check before you click next. From there accept the terms of the transfer and click next or ok.
10.
Step 10

If you haven't turned off email notifications from Godaddy you should get an email stating the transfer of the domain name. Be careful and make sure you don't check more than the just domain name or names your trying to transfer or all checked boxes will transfer the domain ownership over to the person your transferring to. It's good business not to charge for this transfer or what many people call Push. If you've followed all of the steps correctly you should now be making money selling domain names.

Yahoo Domains

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:42:00 +0000

What Is a Yahoo Domain?

The well-known Internet portal Yahoo! has joined the domain name business. The company now offers domain name registration services through its Yahoo! Small Business division. This sector of Yahoo is devoted to helping entrepreneurs get their businesses up and running by providing assistance like recruiting services, marketing tools and web hosting. The next reasonable step is to offer branded Yahoo domain registration. It’s another tool which will help business establish an online presence.

PC Magazine reviewed Yahoo Domains and gave it the highly-coveted Editor’s Choice Award. The published review states that “domain registration through Yahoo! Small Business is the easiest.” The statement reflects the level of service that one receives through a Yahoo Domain. It offers great features like domain forwarding, email forwarding, control panel with DNS management, and the most popular top-level domains. Knowledgeable customer service is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and the call is toll-free. In addition to this, one to five-year registration plans are available.

Yahoo! Domains also makes upgrading very easy for those who want to expand to other Yahoo! services. Customers may upgrade to receive a personal custom mailbox or business mail package which reflects the domain name. Users may also transfer their Yahoo! domain from another web host to Yahoo! Web Hosting. If the customer needs help creating an online store, they may summon the help of Merchant Solutions which is a program that will help them manage online sales.

PC Magazine said that a Yahoo Domain was the easiest. It is quite possible to claim that the service is one of the cheapest. It offers all of the aforementioned features for only $4.98 per year at the time of this writing. With so many wonderful features at such a low price, it is hard to overlook an offer like this one.

10 ways to promote your web site

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:41:00 +0000

Once you've built your masterpiece, you have to spread the word. Submitting your Web site to search engines, directories and related sites is critical to success. The real Web-savvy companies have whole teams of geeks who spend their days figuring out how to get better rankings in search engines.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of fools' gold, bad advice and even downright scams in the Web site promotion field. If you go about promoting your site the wrong way, you can actually hurt traffic instead of helping to build it. Here are 10 things you should definitely not do, no matter how tempting some spam message makes it sound:

1 - Spam Not!

This is the cardinal rule of Netiquette. Mass, unsolicited e-mail is not acceptable, anywhere, for any reason. There are hundreds of hustlers out there trying to sell you databases and software that you can use to spam, but don't believe their promises. Spamming will make enemies for you, not friends. It can also get you barred from large ISPs, crippling your traffic.

2 - Don't shell out big for submission services.

Submit your site to 500 search engines for $19.95! Bad deal. There aren't 500, or even 100, search engines worth submitting to. The 19.95ers simply run your URL through an auto-submitter (like Selfpromotion.com or submitit.com), which you can do yourself for free. If you want a professional to submit your site, plan on spending a few hundred bucks at most, which should buy you a careful and thorough job. I myself currently offer a basic submission service for $350, and I admit that I'm a little pricey. Insist on receiving documentation of everything that's been done, including all e-mail autoresponses from the search engines.

3 - Don't waste time on the flotsam and jetsam of the Web.

Submit your site to the major search engines and directories, perhaps using one of the auto-submitters for some, and doing others individually. There are about 30 that are worth submitting to. Then seek out specialized directories that are appropriate for your site (travel, investment, shopping, country-specific, etc.). Don't waste time with obscure search engines and kids' links pages. There are billions of pages like this, but they get zilcho traffic. Your time is better spent carefully crafting your submission to Yahoo.

4 - Don't rush through your Yahoo submission.

Yahoo is by far the most important directory, and the hardest to get into. Submissions are reviewed by real editors, so follow the instructions to the letter, and really try to convince them that your site is a useful resource. Some good tips are to be found on the rather obscure page called "My Site on Yahoo," and selfpromotion.com also has some good Yahoo tips.

5 - Never submit your site until it's open for business.

Test your site thoroughly, and make sure every section is complete before you begin submitting. Most surfers will never return to a URL where they found a dead link or an "under construction" sign.

6 - Don't forget to integrate your URL into your business.

It's amazing how many companies spend big bucks to build a Web site, then balk at the cost of printing new business cards to include the URL. Your Web site URL should be on every piece of company media from letterheads to coffee cups - anywhere that a phone number would be included.

7 - Don't mess with black magic.

There are a lot of sneaky tricks discussed in the various Web promotion newsgroups and mailing lists, that claim to improve your search engine rankings. Loading your page with invisible keywords, creating special "doorway" pages with magic dust on them, and secret programs (for $19.95) that "force-feed" your page to search engines. Don't fool with it. The search engines and directories wage an ongoing battle against those who would "beat the system," and they can and will bar you if they suspect you of "spamming" them. Do use META tags, keywords in titles and body text, and that sort of thing, but don't overdo it, and always follow the submission rules.

8 - Don't put anything in your Web site directory that you don't want the public to see.

Most of us have a few "test" pages, or perhaps pages of personal material, that we keep on our Web server, but that isn't meant to be seen by the public. Straight search engines like Excite and Altavista, however, will automatically "spider" and index every page on your site, unless you tell them not to. Create a text file called "robots.txt," and place it in your Web site's root directory (usually the "htdocs" directory). This file has a list of pages or directories that you want to keep the spiders out of, and it looks something like this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /test/
Disallow: /temporary/
Disallow: /templates/

This tells all visiting spiders not to fool with any of the 3 named directories. Note that the directory names must end with a "/".

9 - Don't neglect to measure your traffic.

Some wise man said, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." Be sure to keep your server log files safe, and use the software tool of your choice to analyze them. Your ISP may offer one or more free tools for your use. Getstats is one popular free one. If you can shell out a few hundred bucks, high-powered traffic analysis packages like Hit List or Web Trends can really help you boost your traffic by telling you how many hits are coming from each search engine, and what keywords people are searching on to reach your site.

10 - When you're finished, don't stop!

Site promotion is an ongoing process. Once you've made your submissions, check back a month later, and you'll find that some of them didn't take. Resubmit as necessary, but don't overdo it. Always be on the lookout for new sites that might be willing to give you a link, and for new (but legitimate and preferably free) promotion opportunities.

If you own a domain name and have been contemplating on what to do with it, here's one thing you can do that will earn you money almost instantly. This is made possible with the introduction of Adsense for Domain by Google not too long ago.

The whole concept is pretty straight forward:

Get a domain name

Monetize it by displaying Adsense for Domain

Direct traffic to your domain

Reap the benefits

Get a Domain Name

If you already have a domain name, it's probably a little bit too late to read this section. If you haven't, then here's a simple guideline that you can follow when registering for a new domain name - always use part or the whole keyword of your target niche to form your domain name.

For example, if you are targeting on "domain name registration", then you may consider a domain name which read something like domainnameregistration.com, domainnameregistration.info etc. The reason is that, Google tailors the ads displayed on your domain based on your keyword i.e. your domain name. So if your domain name doesn't really have a focus niche, then Google will just display random ads.

On the other hand, if you have a focused niche, all the sponsored ads displayed will be of the same category. It will be easier for your marketing campaigns as well, as you know which category to target. For more guidelines on selecting a good domain name, please refer to Domain Name Search.

Monetize it by displaying Adsense for Domain

For this step, you need to have a Google Adsense account, if you haven't got one, you may sign up here. Once you have signed up, go to Adsense Setup --> Get Ads --> Adsense for Domain.

Next, you have to specify which domain name to add. Once you have added the domain, Google will ask you to update your Aliases (CNAME) as well as your IP addresses (A). These steps are quite daunting if you are not technically-inclined and it may be different from one web host to another.

If you require assistant, please drop me an email and I will be more than happy to assist you.

Direct Traffic to Your Domain

So far, most people have no problems to follow step 1 and step 2 but step 3 is a totally different story. Well, there are 2 ways to do it - paid or free. Let's not talk about the first one and focus only on the free method. This is where you need to apply the concept of Adsense Arbitrage - buying cheap traffic and direct it to a domain with high-paying keywords. The best place to get free traffic is through PTC programs. There are many websites which offer such service but the best one that works for me is TrafficSwarm.com. If you are willing to spend a little money, you can consider buying traffic from buyREFS.com. You can get as many as 10,000 visitors for as little as USD10. If you have targeted a high-paying keyword for your domain, it could be a gold rush for you.

Reap the Benefits

Well, this part needs no introduction. It's all about number game - the more visitors you have the more clicks you get and the more money you make. Based on that principal, what you can do is, diversify your domain names. Register 4 to 5 domain names with high-paying keywords, configure them to display Adsense for Domain, join more PTC programs or buy cheap traffic and you are on way to reap the sweet benefits.

Domain Set-up Guide

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:40:00 +0000

This guide is intended to assist with pointing your domains to Google's servers, allowing us to display Google ads on your domains. You can view general instructions applicable to any registrar, or detailed instructions for common domain registrars such as GoDaddy, Enom, and Moniker.

General Instructions for Any Registrar

First, if you've previously changed your domain's nameserver, make sure you change it back to point to your registrar's default nameservers.(If you're not sure, you probably have not changed this and don't need to change anything.)

Second, create the following CNAME (alias) records for your www host using your domain registrar. You can find your unique identifier on the AdSense for domains setup page:

Host Name/Alias	Record Type	Value/Destination
www	CNAME (alias)	pub-xxxxxxxxx.afd.ghs.google.com. (where pub-xxxxxxxxx is your unique ID listed on the AdSense setup page)

Next, create the following A records for your domains at your domain registrar (view instructions for common domain registrars):

Host Name/Alias	Record Type	Value/Destination
@	A (address)	216.239.32.21
@	A (address)	216.239.34.21
@	A (address)	216.239.36.21
@	A (address)	216.239.38.21

Note: Please be sure that these four A records are the only existing A records for your domain.

Presto! We'll start serving ads to traffic that comes to your site as soon as the records validate (usually less than 24 hours).

For information on common DNS terms including both A and CNAME records, visit the Google Apps Basic Guide to DNS.

Setup Instructions for Common Domain Registrars

Even if your domain isn't listed here it may offer advanced DNS editing which will allow you to use AdSense for domains. You should be able to configure these settings using the general instructions above.

If your domain registrar does not offer access to these settings, you may want to try using a DNS service provider with your domain. By using these providers' DNS servers, you'll have access to the features necessary to setup AdSense for domains. We've provided instructions for some of these DNS Service Providers below.

If your domain registrar does not offer the ability to change DNS servers, then we recommend transferring your domain to one of the registrars listed here in order to use AdSense for domains.

DNS Service Providers

Sign in to your No-IP.com account
Click on Plus Manged DNS from the left navigation menu
Click on Add Domain from the expanded left hand navigation menu
Enter the domain you've already purchased through another registrar
Configure the nameservers with your domain registrar to point to the No-IP.com nameservers. You may also have to pay to activate the No-IP services based on your current contract.

In this case you will need to just use A record instead of round robin setup, and you will still need to create a CNAME record for each domain. Access the feature under the Hosts / Redirects menu by clicking on Manage Groups.

Can You Make Money with AdSense for Domains?

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:37:00 +0000

Google AdSense for Domains lets domain name owners set up AdSense links on a parked domain which if it receives traffic, will serve relevant ads to the domain name (or popular categories).

I have not tried AdSense for Domains myself, but after digging through some forum threads on the AdSense Outage the other day, I ran into a simple thread posted on Digital Point about AdSense for Domains called Anyone made any money using AdSense for Domains?.

In the thread, a publisher asks about making money using AdSense for Domains and if anyone is having success. A few webmasters and domain name owners have replied :

What is AdSense for domains?

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:34:00 +0000

AdSense for domains allows publishers with unused domains to help users reach relevant information by presenting content on the domains.

Users often type domains into their address bar or follow expired links leading to sites with no content. Instead of an "under construction" page or 404 error, AdSense for domains provides links, search results, advertisements and other content. To do this, we use semantic technology targeted to the domain name. You earn revenue when users interact with the ads on your site.

When Do You Park a Domain Name?

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:30:00 +0000

Very often, when people "buy" a domain name, they are only just starting out on a new website. Since getting a domain is the first step of many in creating a website, most people don't have any website at the time they register the domain. As such, they can't point the domain name anywhere.

Domain name registrars, the companies through which you register a domain, work around this problem by allowing you to point your domain name to a dummy web page. When visitors type the address of a domain that has been parked, they will see this placeholder web page in their web browsers. The content placed on the dummy web page varies from registrar to registrar, and it's possible that some registrars place advertisements or links to themselves on your parked domain. (Note that you will not earn money from those advertisements. You will only earn from those advertisements you place yourself on your website.)

There are of course other situations which might lead you to want to park your domain. For example, if you were buying many domain names because you think you might want to reserve them for future use, or because you can't decide between the different permutations of names and want to take precautions against those names being "stolen", then it's likely that you will want to park those domains temporarily till you either decide what to do with those names or till you actually get a website ready for those domains.

URL

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:29:00 +0000

Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

The first part of the address is called a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. The protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:
# ftp://www.freefreedomain.co.nr/stuff.exe
# http://www.freefreedomain.co.n/index.html

IP address

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:28:00 +0000

An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.

Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.

The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Four regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC, LACNIC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes.
# Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks
# Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks
# Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks

The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.

Top Level Domain

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:28:00 +0000

Short for top-level domain, and refers to the suffix attached to Internet domain names. There are a limited number of predefined suffixes, and each one represent a top-level domain. Current top-level domains include:
# com - commercial businesses; this is the most common TLD
# gov - U.S. government agencies
# edu - Educational institutions such as universities
# org - Organizations (mostly nonprofit)
# mil - Military
# net - Network organizations
# ca - Canada
# th - Thailand

Domain Name

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:27:00 +0000

A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com.

Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:
# gov - Government agencies
# edu - Educational institutions
# org - Organizations (nonprofit)
# mil - Military
# com - commercial business
# net - Network organizations
# ca - Canada
# th - Thailand

Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses.

How to Register Your Own Domain Name

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:26:00 +0000

If you have a web site, you should seriously consider registering your own domain name. A domain name is a name like "thesitewizard.com" or "thefreecountry.com", which you can use to refer to your website. Note that you do not have to be a company or organisation to register a domain name. Any individual can do it too.
Importance of a Domain Name

There are a number of good reasons for having a domain name:

*

If you ever change your web host, your domain name goes with you. Your regular visitors or customers who knew your site name as www.thesitewizard.com (for example) would not have to be informed about a change of URL. They would simply type your domain name and they'd be brought to your new site.
*

If you are a business, a domain name gives you credibility. Few people would be willing to do business with a company with a dubious URL like http://www.geocities.com/whatever/12345.
*

If you get a domain name that describes your company's business or name, people can remember the name easily and can return to your site without having to consult their documents. In fact, if you get a good name that describes your product or service, you might even get people who were trying their luck by typing "www.yourproductname.com" in their browser.
*

If you want good sponsors (advertisers) for your website, a domain name is usually helpful. It tends to give your website an aura of respectibility.

Registration Overview

Getting a domain name involves registering the name you want with an organisation called ICANN through a domain name registrar. For example, if you choose a name like "example.com", you will have to go to a registrar, pay a registration fee that costs around US$10 to US$35 for that name. That will give you the right to the name for a year, and you will have to renew it annually for (usually) the same amount per annum.

Some web hosts will register it and pay for the name for free (usually only the commercial web hosts), while others will do it for you but you'll have to foot the ICANN fees.

My personal preference is to register the name directly with a domain name registrar rather than through my web host. I've heard stories, in the past, of less-than-reputable web hosts that registered the domain under their own name, making them the owner of the domain rather than you (although I don't know if such web hosts still exist today). Registering with a domain name registrar allows me to make sure that I am registered as the owner, the administrative and technical contacts. Being the owner is vital — if someone else places himself as the owner (such as your web host), he can always decide to charge you some exhorbitant fee for the use of the name later, and there is little you can do. The various other contacts are less vital, but still play important roles. For example, the administrative contact's approval is required before a domain name is transferred out of a web host. If he/she cannot be contacted, the technical contact is used.

Although some web hosts suggest that you put them as the technical contact, you may prefer to keep yourself as one, so that when you want to transfer your name to a new web host, you don't have to wait for your old host to approve the transfer. Apparently a few have been known to take their own sweet time to do this, while unscrupulous ones have actually refused to do it.

Domain names disappear extremely fast. Many people claim that all the good domain names are gone. I doubt that — but it is probably true that most good domain names that are descriptive of products and services have been taken. If you want a domain name for your site, I suggest you act now, or face the anguish of having lost that name later. After all, US$10 (more or less) for a year's ownership of the name is pretty cheap when you realise that you're cornering a good name for your website.
Step By Step Instructions

If you want to register a domain name, here's what you need to do. Please read it all before acting.

*

Think of a few good domain names that you'd like to use. It won't do to think of only one — it might already be taken (it probably is!). You can find some tips on choosing a good domain name from my article, Tips on Choosing a Domain Name, at http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/domainname.shtml

There's more to it than meets the eye.
*

You will need either a credit card or a PayPal account to pay for the domain. This is a requirement of most if not all registrars. It will allow you to claim and get the domain name immediately on application. This is not an option (unfortunately).
*

If you already have a web host, obtain from your web host the names of their primary and secondary nameservers. Don't worry if you don't understand what these things mean. Just save the information somewhere. The information can usually be obtained from their FAQs or other documentation on their site, usually under a category like "domain name" or "DNS" or "domain name transfer" and the like. If you can't find it, email them. You'll need the information to point your domain name to your website after you buy your domain. Don't worry if you don't have a web host yet. Just read on.
*

If you do not have a web host, you can always allow the registrar to you to park your domain nameat a temporary website specially set up for you. This way you can quickly secure your domain name before it's too late and still take your time to set up the other aspects of your site. As far as I can tell, many registrars automatically park your domain by default whether you ask them to or not, so if this is your situation, you probably don't have to do anything special to get it done. Some of those registrars also provide you with a free email address at your own domain name while it is parked at their site, like sales@example.com (where "example.com" is your domain).

List of Domain Name Registrars

There are numerous domain name registrars. Listed below are just a few, along with my comments, if I know anything about them. Note that the domain name industry is highly competitive, with prices wildly fluctuating throughout the year, every year, so it's impossible to really mention accurate prices below unless I spend all my time updating this page. Please check their sites for the latest rates. (Note: all prices are in US dollars.)

*

World's Largest Registrar - GoDaddy.com — This extremely popular registrar (possibly the biggest today) offers .com domain names for $9.99 (plus 20 cents) per year ($6.99 plus 20 cents if you transfer from another registrar). They have a web interface to manage your domains, free web redirection (where people who visit your domain will get transferred to another URL of your choice), free starter web page, free parked page or free "for sale" page, and an optional private domain registration where your domain is registered in the name of a proxy company. They offer .com, .us, .biz, .info, .net, .org, .ws, .name, .tv, .co.uk, .me.uk and .org.uk. Note that (as with all registrars) the exact price varies depending on which domain you are registering (for example some domain extensions are more expensive than others). Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted.
*

Dotster.com — This fairly popular registrar provides fairly cheap domain prices ($15.75 plus 20 cents per domain), a convenient web interface to manage your domains, an optional privacy facility where your domain name is registered in the name of a proxy company, etc. They offer .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .us, .ca, .tv, .name, .cc, .de, .sr, .md, .co.uk, .us.com domains, etc. If you're transferring a domain here from other registrars, the price is even cheaper ($6.99 plus 20 cents). Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted here.
*

Register.com — This domain name registrar has been in business for a very long time: they were one of the biggest around when I started my first websites. They are currently running an offer (only via the above link) where they charge $9.99 per year for a domain name with a free business email account. Although the offer will expire eventually, you can apparently continue to use the $9.99 price for the life of the domain as long as you stay with them. Domains qualifying for this offer include .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us and .info. Country-specific domains have different prices. Note: the special offer link is rather flaky. If you don't get the $9.99 offer the first time you click it, but instead get their normal $35 price, return to this page again (for example, by clicking the Back button on your browser), and click the link again. The $9.99 offer should appear the second time you click it (or at least it did for me). [I've no idea why it works that way; I don't run their site.]
*

Moniker— This domain name registrar allows domain name registrations for a plethora of top level domains (TLD), including .com, .org, .net, .info, .mobi, .biz, .us, .co.uk, and so on (the full list is too long to include here). Prices for domain names differ, depending on the extension. Their normal prices are about $10.49 for .com, $6.04 for .net, $10.95 for .org, $5.49 for .info, etc, although at the time I write this entry, it seems like they are having a sale, with $7.59 for .com, $5.59 for .net, $7.97 for .org, and so on. Their web interface allows you to manage matters pertaining to your domain, such as DNS, web forwarding (where you forward visitors to your domain to another URL of your choice), etc. You also have the option to add "Whois privacy", where your domain is registered in the name of a proxy company. Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted by this registrar, although PayPal payments have a surcharge.
*

1&1 Internet — This is primarily a large web host that is also a domain name registrar. You are charged $6.99 for .com, .org, .net, .us domains. They also offer .info domains for $0.99 (first year only) and .biz at $8.99. The fee includes private domain registration, which means that your particulars are hidden from public view (done by registering the domain in the name of a proxy company). You also get a free email account, DNS management, domain forwarding and masking, and a starter website with each domain. Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted by this registrar.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, a number of commercial web hosts will give you a free domain name if you are Hosting with them, as will many (if not all) of the registrars above.

What is a Domain Name?

noreply@blogger.com (Graphic World) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:22:00 +0000

To ensure that we are all talking about the same thing when I say "domain name", let me briefly mention that a domain name is a name like "thesitewizard.com". Loosely speaking, it's the address of your website. Normally, if someone wants to set up a website, he/she will need to pay a small annual fee to register a domain name. The domain name can then be "pointed" to a website containing the web pages that the person wants to set up. Whenever visitors type that web address into their browser, they will be brought to the website. For example, if you were to type "thesitewizard.com" into your browser, you will be brought to the main page of this website.
