When starting a new business, one of the things you need to consider is building a website. In order for your website to be successful you need to select the right name of your business on the web. For this, you need to register your own unique Domain Names.

Choosing a domain name doesn’t have to be as hard as it seems. When you choose a domain name try to keep it simple. The best bet is to choose your domain name to be the same as the name of your business. This helps your site come right up on the first page of the search engine and allows people to find your business through a simple domain name search or your business name search.

Here are a few good tips to help you choose the domain name to enhance your business.

1. Try to keep your domain name short. You want to get the point across of what type of business it is, but you don’t want your domain name to be so long that no one can remember it. Your objective is to not make your customers have to search for your domain name. Try to avoid hyphens and numbers as a general rule. Although hyphens should be used if you have many different names or words as a domain name. Try to stay catchy but short. Oftentimes one word domains work better than longer drawn out domain names. Think Google, Yahoo, eBay! Although picking a catchy one word domain name is tough, it can be done and can brand your business!

2. Keep your domain name original. Do not try to use other branded names in your domain name. This could cause big trouble along with legal implications.

3. When picking your domain name, always try to use “.com”. This is the most popular and most used ending to a domain name. Some others that are good are “.net”, “.co.uk”, and “.cn”. By using these at the end you make domain search easier for potentially new clients to find you.

4. Using keywords in your domain name is the key to your success. Try to get your best, most prominent key word in your domain name. When you use the right keyword in your domain name, a search for the keyword also becomes a search for your domain name and this helps your website rank higher for your most important keywords.

5. Register multiple forms of the domain name that you want to use. Sometimes you will come across another business like yours with the domain name that you are wanting. You can search for related domain names and see what kind of ideas you can come up with. This will help you decide what domain name to use. Make sure to mix up your search words to get the full affect of what is out there. If the domain name is not available and you do not want to select a different domain name, try to buy it from the person who has registered it. This however can become pricy, but is effective when trying to tie your business name and domain name together.

6. If your business is new, try searching for a domain name and then naming your business around that. This would help benefit the business website tie into the business name and make it much easier to come up with. Again, searching for a domain name on the internet to see what is out there is a good idea.

Once you have chosen your domain name, make sure to register and establish your ownership of it as fast as you can. This will keep anyone else from picking the same domain. Most registrar services have tools on their own web site to help search for domain names to see if they are available. Choosing your domain name can actually be a beneficial tool to help promote your business and strengthen your business growth. It’s very easy to get your domain name registered after you have the hard part of searching for a domain name out of the way. If you don’t know where to start, try Ballistic Domains, a domain registration and hosting service. Alternately, you can do a search for domain name registration companies on Google, Yahoo!, Bing or the search engine of your choice. Most domain registration sites provide helpful tips on how to search for a domain name.

There are many concepts and tools accessible on the Web to Improve your search engine rankings for your website. You can use expensive Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tools to build up your page rank, link exchange programs to boost link popularity, and popular, targeted keywords in your page title, meta tags (e.G., description and keywords), image captions, and page text. However, one of the most powerful ways to strengthen your page rank is to get backlinks.

Besides targeting your webpage content, which you should do anyway, one of the major things search engines like Google consider in your page rank is link popularity. In other words, how popular is your site? How many other websites have links pointing to your website? The more links you have pointing at your site, the more popular your site is, and the higher your site search engine ranking will be.

This is why link exchanges exist. The basic idea is you offer to create a link to a website that belongs to someone else if they will create a site to yours. The more popular their site becomes, the more popular yours becomes; and vice versa. The challenge is while you get credit for the link to your site, you lose a little bit of credit for the link from your site. Furthermore, for the links to make much of a difference, you really need a bunch of sites linking to you.

Another significant factor in your link exchanges is the popularity of the site linking to you. Their link to your site counts for more if their site is already highly Rated. Of course, if the other site is very popular already, you need to have something major to offer, or they really will not be concerned if they exchange links with you or not.

A Variation of this approach is to link to .Org and .Edu sites. The Google search engine gives you extra Credit for that, but to get full benefit, the .Org or .Edu site needs to link to you as well.

Another common approach to exchanging links is to join a link exchange network, where the whole idea of joining is to exchange links with lots of sites. There is at least one network that will automatically create hundreds of links between sites for a monthly fee. Yet another has a way to give you 3 or more backlinks to your site in exchange for only one link from your site. This is a good Concept, except their monthly fee runs about $60 per month.

Fortunately, there is a better way to generate backlinks. Unlike reciprocal link exchanges, backlinks are one-way. They link to your site, but you do not link to theirs; you get maximum Credit for link popularity. Of course, you still need a lot of backlinks to make a difference.

The reason this particular type of link is called a backlink is because it really exists because you submitted something that points back to your site. There are a few ways to do this. The most prevalent ways are to write articles, blog entries, and forum comments with a backlink in your signature line or Resource Box (a.K.A, About The Author box) at the end of an article.

In other words, you create an article, blog comment, or forum comment that provides value, information, or entertainment to a site that publishes such data, and in return, the publisher lets you put a link (usually just one) in your Resource Box pointing back to your website. This gives you credit, authority in your niche, a valuable benefit for contributing quality content (which boosts the search engine page rank for the article, blog, or forum site), and a chance to invite the reader to your website for more good information.

Unfortunately, submitting an article, blog entry, or forum comment one at a time can become very dreary and boring really fast. If you only had to do it once, it would not be bad, but as stated earlier, you need to do it many, many times to Make a difference. So, entering your article by hand several hundred times per article would take hours if not days.

This is why article directories and blog submitters were Invented. First of all, many article directories are already very highly ranked with the search engines, because they have GigaBytes of ever-growing content and lots of links to their sites. Furthermore, they have tremendous exposure to thousands of readers, and in most cases, readers can take the articles and publish them on their own websites (while still keeping the unchanged Resource Box with your backlink). This lets you get multiple backlinks by submitting to a single directory.

As you might Suspect, however, there are hundreds of article directories alone; well over 400, and that does not even Account for blogs and forums (think tens of thousands here). And as stated earlier, more is better. So, of course, you want to submit to multiple article directories because they are available, but once again, it is boring to submit to hundreds or even just ten article directories for every article you want to publish.

Ta da! Article submitters were invented. The best way to get thousands of backlinks to your websites from hundreds or thousands of different websites to really improve search engine rankings is to use article submitters. Of course, there are value-added services that will screen and submit your articles to hundreds of article directories automatically for a monthly fee. These sites are probably worth it since they will ensure your articles follow the rules most article directories require such as no weblinks in the body of the article, no selling in the article, no quotation marks or apostrophes, etc. Some of these services even include free software to help you write your article faster.

However, if you do not want to pay a monthly fee (who does?), you can get software to submit your articles to a handful of the most common article directories. Most of the time, the software is relatively inexpensive and you can get it for a one-time cost. That makes it a worthwhile investment. Invest $20 or $30 one-time, configure your software once, and simply submit your article automatically in a few minutes every time you write an article. You can find A plethora of of services and software packages simply by entering something like Article Submitter in the search engines.

The bottom line is backlinks are one of the most influential ways to get a high page rank from the search engines, and they are easy to get. All you need to do is submit something of value several times per month to article directories, blogs, and/or forums. And the easiest, quickest way to do it is via automatic article submission software.

Do you know:

Exactly how many people are visiting your website
How long they’re staying on your site before they move on
Exactly where those visitors are coming from, each day
How much of your website traffic is repeat visitors
The exact paths people take as they click their way through your website

Here is what I am getting at:

If you do not know your visitors, it makes it very difficult for you to improve the performance of your website and turn more visitors into customers AND get more quality traffic. For the simple reason that you are effectively working blind.

 
Without knowing how people visit your site and what they do on your site, any attempts at growing your traffic and improving the profitability of your website is working with one armed tied behind your back, at least.

And unfortunately the web stats that come with your web hosting are generally not enough these days.

Depending on your web host, chances are you have either got Webalizer, Analog Stats, or AWStats installed on your server. Here’s how that software works

It takes the raw unreadable to the human eye information your web server stores of everyone that visits and presents this in an easy to understand way.

Unfortunately, due to a number of technical reasons, this information is often presented in quite an inaccurate way.

And in my personal experience, these software packages do not present this information in a particularly helpful way either for someone trying to improve the conversion ratios and profitability of their website.

What I personally do, and what I would suggest you do is use a Tracking Solution that accurately tracks and reports all your visitors in an easy to read and understand way. These solutions come in two forms Software & Services

Both these options have their pros and cons, but what they both do very well is present exactly what is happening on your website right up to the minute, and in a way that is very helpful to you for making good and profitable decisions for your business.

To start with here is a software solution you can install and use for free on your website

Now before you go and install it, you should of course be familiar with installing software on your server. If you are not comfortable installing software on your website, a tracking service which I will come to in a moment would probably be best for you.

And it is also important to note that installing software on your website can often put more strain on the server. This is particularly true if you are on shared hosting.

I have personally used the following free tracking software and it works well. See what you think.

But personally speaking, what I have found works very well and avoids putting any increased strain on my existing websites is using a third party tracking service.

The only things really to worry about when using a third party service are

How long will this service be around If they stop their service after a year, you would not be able to access your past data and will have to change all your tracking codes on your pages too.
What is their privacy policy regarding my web stats Are they honest and trustworthy in other words. You do not want the service owners studying and then duplicating your successful business plan.

Over the past month I have been using ecommStats www.ecommstats.com. Now, this service is not free, but at this time they give you 50,000 free page views per domain, and depending how busy your site is those page views can last you a very long time.

The service works great and is very easy to add to your pages simply add three lines of code at the bottom of each of your pages you can easily do this with Server Side Includes if you are comfortable with that and all your visitors get tracked accurately and in great detail.

Alternatively an entirely free at this time and very established service is Stat Counter statcounter.com. It even has a rave review from Tucows.com one of the largest download sites on the internet which speaks for itself and adds a lot of credibility to the service.

And just in case you are wondering how a free service like Stat Counter makes money, well since it is such a popular service with many webmasters logging in every day and many I am sure even more than once a day just like me that it is made it very easy for them to sell a lot of advertising on their site. They also offer an upgrade to their advanced paid service.

But thinking beyond free services, as your business grows you may choose to upgrade to high end paid services that provide even more in depth information about your visitors.

Services like Urchin Urchin.com owned by Google or Deep Matrix DeepMetix.com. However, to help you grow your business to that point you need to keep a close eye on what your visitors are doing and where they are coming from and free tracking software and services is a great way for you to start to do this.

website traffic, web development

In this era of technological developments, owing a website has become almost compulsory to be successful. It gives you an opportunity to actively participate in ecommerce and open multiple revenue channels for yourself. To host your website on the Web, you require help of a web hosting provider by choosing one of its available hosting plans. This poses a challenge.

To mark your online presence, you choose a domain name and get your website designed by competent, skilled and experienced web designers and developers but now comes the real challenge. After having met the first challenge, you need to show the face of your online business through your website to the world. How?

You’d need to host your website on the server on World Wide Web. For this, you need help of a reliable web hosting provider such as LimeDomains, HostGator, FatCow etc. to name a few.

You must make sure that the hosting plan that you choose follows all required functional specifications as this important aspect would determine the growth rate of your online business. Also, you must attempt to pick a service that does not suffer from frequent outages and that fetches your website maximum uptime. Conduct an extensive Internet research to find reviews and customer feedback about the services and the hosting plan of the concerned hosting provider.

Obviously being in online business, you would not want a website that crashes every now & then and your customers face lots of difficulties in making the payments and transactions. If this happens, you’d be put in a real awkward situation besides losing out considerably on the revenue side.

Also the plan that you choose must provide you adequate bandwidth and data transfer limit. If your website has multimedia elements then certainly it would have high bandwidth requirements and corresponding disk space for their storage. To strike a balance between these requirements is the key consideration and calls for careful planning. In addition, you must see to it that the technical and customer support services are available 24 × 7 and the customer service must not be billed. It must be offered to you absolutely free of cost.

Next the web hosting plan that is chosen by you must be accessible remotely. It implies that using its control panel, you’re able to install varied scripts, manage your email boxes etc. Besides everything mentioned above, you also need to see that the price of the web hosting plan is affordable for you. Don’t just go by the word ‘cheap prices’! It’s a catch. Choose a plan that fits in your budget and meets all your site requirements appropriately.

Choose your web hosting plan to get your website up & running!

Analyzing your web traffic statistics can be an invaluable tool for a number of different reasons. But before you can make full use of this tool, you need to understand how to interpret the data.
Most web hosting companies will provide you with basic web traffic information that you then have to interpret and make pertinent use of. However, the data you receive from your host company can be overwhelming if you don’t understand how to apply it to your particular business and website. Let’s start by examining the most basic data-the average visitors to your site on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

These figures are the most accurate measure of your website’s activity. It would appear on the surface that the more traffic you see recorded, the better you can assume your website is doing, but this is an inaccurate perception. You must also look at the behavior of your visitors once they come to your website to accurately gauge the effectiveness of your site.
There is often a great misconception about what is commonly known as “hits” and what is really effective, quality traffic to your site. Hits simply means the number of information requests received by the server. If you think about the fact that a hit can simply equate to the number of graphics per page, you will get an idea of how overblown the concept of hits can be. For example, if your home page has 15 graphics on it, the server records this as 15 hits, when in reality we are talking about a single visitor checking out a single page on your site. As you can see, hits are not useful in analyzing your website traffic.

The more visitors that come to your website, the more accurate your interpretation will become. The greater the traffic is to your website, the more precise your analysis will be of overall trends in visitor behavior. The smaller the number of visitors, the more a few anomalous visitors can distort the analysis.

The aim is to use the web traffic statistics to figure out how well or how poorly your site is working for your visitors. One way to determine this is to find out how long on average your visitors spend on your site. If the time spent is relatively brief, it usually indicates an underlying problem. Then the challenge is to figure out what that problem is.

It could be that your keywords are directing the wrong type of visitors to your website, or that your graphics are confusing or intimidating, causing the visitor to exit rapidly. Use the knowledge of how much time visitors are spending on your site to pinpoint specific problems, and after you fix those problems, continue to use time spent as a gauge of how effective your fix has been.

Additionally, web traffic stats can help you determine effective and ineffective areas of your website. If you have a page that you believe is important, but visitors are exiting it rapidly, that page needs attention. You could, for example, consider improving the link to this page by making the link more noticeable and enticing, or you could improve the look of the page or the ease that your visitors can access the necessary information on that page.

If, on the other hand, you notice that visitors are spending a lot of time on pages that you think are less important, you might consider moving some of your sales copy and marketing focus to that particular page.

As you can see, these statistics will reveal vital information about the effectiveness of individual pages, and visitor habits and motivation. This is essential information to any successful Internet marketing campaign.

Your website undoubtedly has exit pages, such as a final order or contact form. This is a page you can expect your visitor to exit rapidly. However, not every visitor to your site is going to find exactly what he or she is looking for, so statistics may show you a number of different exit pages. This is normal unless you notice an exit trend on a particular page that is not intended as an exit page. In the case that a significant percentage of visitors are exiting your website on a page not designed for that purpose, you must closely examine that particular page to discern what the problem is. Once you pinpoint potential weaknesses on that page, minor modifications in content or graphic may have a significant impact on the keeping visitors moving through your site instead of exiting at the wrong page.
After you have analyzed your visitor statistics, it’s time to turn to your keywords and phrases. Notice if particular keywords are directing a specific type of visitor to your site. The more targeted the visitor-meaning that they find what they are looking for on your site, and even better, fill out your contact form or make a purchase-the more valuable that keyword is.

However, if you find a large number of visitors are being directed-or should I say misdirected-to your site by a particular keyword or phrase, that keyword demands adjustment. Keywords are vital to bringing quality visitors to your site who are ready to do business with you. Close analysis of the keywords your visitors are using to find your site will give you a vital understanding of your visitor’s needs and motivations.

Finally, if you notice that users are finding your website by typing in your company name, break open the champagne! It means you have achieved a significant level of brand recognition, and this is a sure sign of burgeoning success.

The aim of a website is generally to provide a window of one’s offers on a platform where a good deal of people can get access. A website is nothing more than a ‘storefront,’ in a way, providing a catalogue of products, services and information, depending on the area of expertise of the one behind the site. The general aim then is to get the maximum number of people to view this window, be interested in its content, and then make them loyal followers who will come back repeatedly to the site.

Through traffic, owners can also see which pages are more popular and which are less visited, helping to know where their strengths and weaknesses lay. This data can further help them to determine trends on the site, and tailor their offers accordingly by remaining one step ahead of the game.

Thus, generating traffic and increasing it is a major concern of site owners. Whether a site caters to marketing products or to providing information on a specific topic, traffic will be the general indicator of its success and popularity, and consequently, of its survival – survival of the fittest on the Net referring to the site that receives best traffic.

Consequently, the aim of sites is to increase traffic. This differs slightly depending on the type of site. Marketing sites, provided by Internet marketers and Internet business owners, will want to increase their traffic to get more unique visitors and also to keep their returning visitors, ensuring that the products they offer are seen and considered by a wider number of potential clients. Content sites, for marketers and Internet business owners that offer information on a narrowly-defined topic and that generate revenue through advertising, will want to increase the number of page views (and, thus, click-throughs) of the site so as to increase the scope of penetration of their content.

How To Start Generating Daily Traffic

Traffic can be increased through the following strategies, such as:

-Search engine optimization;
-Increased visibility on the internet;
-Links to and from other sites (i.e. reciprocal and one-way) – an easy way to increase presence on the web;
-Interesting add-ons on the site;
-Increasing the amount of time each customer spends on the site – making sure all the pages are viewed, instead of only the home page/link destination page, thus generating more page views, an indicator of good traffic;
-Making the most popular pages even more popular and increasing internal links to the site’s other pages to encourage views;
-Forum-involvement and blog commenting;
-Use of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter;
-Advertising – such as the purchase of bulk email, pop up ads, inpage advertising, as well as the purchase of traditional and non-Internet based advertising.

Of all these options, which cover only a very small part of how traffic can be increased, advertising seems to be the most popular. Paid advertising is an e-marketing concept that enjoys a good reputation to generate traffic. Concepts such as banner advertising and pay per click are the most well-known and sought-after. Banner advertising has somewhat evolved to pop-up ads features when it turns out that Internet viewers got used to the concept of the banner at the top of the page. Pay per click uses the concept of sponsored links on search engine results pages by buying keywords and phrases that are bound to be associated with the site’s products or content.

Many site creators and business owners underestimate the impact of proactive methods. The difference here has to be made between two concepts, namely natural traffic and organic traffic.

It’s obvious that paid services always have an edge over free ones. This is true in case of web hosting also. It’s not that free hosting is not chosen by any one. Scores of people who have low budget to spend online opt for free hosting most of the time. But people, who have large-scale business requirements always choose paid web hosting.

To begin with, online business requirements fall into two broad categories-low scale & high scale. Depending on the needs web visitors choose web hosting plans. Some amateurs and netizens, who have less bandwidth requirements go for free hosting. However people and organizations, which have high bandwidth requirements for their corporate websites and online businesses such as online stores etc . most often choose paid web hosting as they need reliable and supportive hosting devoid of any sort of pitfalls.

Talking about the technical aspects of free vs. paid web hosting, it’s these features that categorize the two hosting options.

1) Data Transfer

This is the most challenging aspect in both kinds of hosting plans. Web visitors hate slow sites. So people who anticipate large turnover of visitors to their sites must always seek paid hosting. Such sites are visited by people, who have processing requests, product queries etc. In that case, if the site gives a sluggish response and the processing requests take a considerable amount of time then your entire online effort may go in vain. Bandwidth determines the pace of speed transmission, which is the call of the hour. Free hosting gives very limited data transfer limit. So it’s good that first you evaluate your bandwidth requirements and then choose free/paid hosting accordingly.

2) Disk/Storage Space

It’s the allocation of space that differs in these two hosting arrangements-free and paid. It depends on two aspects: nature of business and number of web visitors. If you have large online requirements then never attempt to compromise on disk/storage space since it’s an important determinant of the fate of your website. Estimate your disk/storage space requirements precisely and choose free/paid hosting. Paid hosting always gives you greater disk/storage space, which adds pace to your website besides freedom to experiment.

3) E-mail Accounts

When you choose your Web Hosting Provider, foresee your requirements and operation of affairs. If you have limited requirements, you can rest with few email accounts. However, bigger sites and businesses often need a greater number of e-mail accounts, which can only be obtained with paid hosting plans. This is an extended benefit in paid hosting when you compare it with free hosting.

There are a number of web hosting providers that offer free as well as paid hosting such as LimeDomains, Network Solutions, HostGator etc. So now that you’re all set to begin your online journey, you must have determined your online business requirements. If yes, then go ahead and choose free/paid web hosting accordingly.
