I recently graduated from college, and instead of taking a corporate programming job, my friend and I started our own web development company. Everything was going great…we were both working from home and enjoying small successes. However, we soon realized that text messaging could only go so far, especially when we hired several employees. Text messaging was slow, and was “noisy” when several people were in a chatroom. We quickly needed a solution. (more…)

When buying links you have to know what you want before you buy. You are either going to go for page rank to boost your page rank or trying to gain more publicity. Of course the higher the page rank the higher the cost is going to be. But another option besides page rank is SEOmoz latest tool page strength tool which calculates the strength of the page by different ways besides just Google. So before buying any links I would strongly suggest checking the page strength since it gives the overall value of the site. The tool takes information from total back links, age of domain, pages indexed, Alexa rating and other sources. You don’t want to buy a link just from what people say about their site, believe it or not people do lie. So it is always best to check with some tools to really see what you are buying. (more…)

So you want to join a banner exchange programme, but don’t have a banner for your website?

I have been running a number of websites on the internet for about eight years now and feel that in that time I have learnt quite a lot about the different ways to attract additional traffic to these sites. Over the past couple of years I have been helping other people by offering to share this knowledge and ideas of web promotion. I have to say however that I have been amazed at the short term attitude of most of these people, they are very much people who want the pot of gold today and end up using tactics which are basically a way of cheating their way to the top. These tactics do not work over the longer term and these people are what I call web promotion criminals. (more…)

We have all heard the real estate slogan: “Location! Location! Location!”. Well, if that is the slogan of the real estate industry then “Content! Content! Content!” is certainly the slogan for all webmasters. Maybe I should rather say it SHOULD BE the slogan for all webmasters… Unfortunately many webmasters are only focusing on how they can make more money instead of providing visitors to their website with good content.
