Famous people domains

Posted by admin

The first recommendation that I can give to you is to avoid registering domain name of famous people. You can register a famous surname but just if you or any relative of you have it.

If you think in registering a domain name just to score it you provably will have Trade Mark problems. If you have the same name and surname or any of your family, you can register it but you CAN’T put a site about the famous people.

You can’t or don’t have to make any $ with the name of the famous people.

The problem is that you want to make a Fan Site about the famous people. In theory you can but then, you can’t make any $ with that site but provably you will can lose this site.

My tip is: register a generic name like “famouspeople” and make any number of single pages you want about any famous people.

Key Facts you should know about Web Site design and Search Engine Optimization

Posted by admin

This article was origanly created by Rajitha Dahanayake and updated by me.

1. Web site File Structure / File Naming

Most search engines do not recognize beyond two directory levels.
Make sure to name your files and directories with keywords.
Don’t separate keywords using the underscore instead use hyphens.
File names should be not too long.

2. Load Time

If a page doesn’t load in 8 seconds, Web site will lose 1/3 of the visitors.
Images and Graphics -Image optimization will help to improve the load time. Images can be optimized using the “GIFBOT” image optimization tool (http://www.netmechanic.com/accelerate.htm)

3. Browser Compatibility / Screen Resolutions

Make sure the all the web pages are compatible with the latest versions of Internet explore and Netscape. (Eg: IE 7.0 and above, Netscape 4.7 and above and Mozila firefox 1.0 and above)
Screen resolution is very important. Compatibility in 800 and 1024 resolution is a must.

4. Site Map

A very important page on a web site.
Search Engine spider’s prefers Site maps.
Name the Site Map page-using hyphen (site-map.html).
Make sure the site map has links to every page of the web site.
Use key words on the anchor.
Try to describe the links with two or three lines.
Give a link o the site map from all the pages of the site.
Keep the site map simple with no or few images.

5. HTML Validation

Make sure the coding is done according to the W3C standards. (http://validator.w3.org)
Search engines are constantly rewarding web sites that utilize clean and validated HTML.
Validate the HTML coding using the “CSE HTML Validator” before the site goes live. (http://www.htmlvalidator.com/)

6. Custom 404 Error Page

Through the custom 404 error page, make it easy for the users to find where they want to go.
Use HTML links and include a search box.
For information on how to create custom 404 pages for every type of server, visit the 404 Research Lab (http://www.plinko.net/404/). The site also features many examples of custom 404 pages.

7. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Cascading Style allows Webmasters to control Web page design parameters, such as margins, font/typeface appearance, link appearance, colors, and placement.
CSS decreases download time. Style sheets alone don’t matter to the search engines.

8. Using JavaScript / Frames / Flash

JavaScript - JavaScript is not search engine friendly and not important to the engines, so move it to a separate .js file.
Frames – Try to avoid using frames. In a situation of using frame make sure to use the Tag. Frames must be navigational within the frames. Include an option to use the site with or without frames. And, use JavaScript to keep frames intact.
Flash – Search Engine spiders cant read the flash (Except Fast.com). Anyway Flash can be used for demos and presentations.
Layers – It is recommended not use layers.

9. Font Styles and Colors

Font Styles – It is important to use the font styles compatible with the browsers.
Colors – Web Safe Colors A few years ago, when most computers supported only 256 different colors, a list of 216 Web Safe Colors was suggested as a Web standard. The reason for this was that Microsoft and Mac operating system used 40 different “reserved” fixed system colors (about 20 each).For more information Please visit

http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/articles/websafe1/websafe_colors.html

10.Title / Meta Key Words / ALT tags

Title / Meta Key Words – Title and Meta key words play an important role search engine optimization.
ALT Tags – It is important to have an Alt tag to each and every image.

Creating A Quality Web Site Design

Posted by admin

In this article, Martin Lemieux attempted to cover the basics of creating a great quality web design template for your site. Now it’s a known fact that the layout or “eye candy” as I put it will determine whether your visitors will stay more than a few seconds or they will just become another statistic.

That’s right, if you don’t catch your visitors attention right away, statistics shows us that your visitors will come and go within 15 seconds or less.

That doesn’t leave you with a lot of time to grab someone’s attention!

Some of you may be asking yourself:

Well why does this happen????

See when you think about it, 15 seconds to the “browsing eye” is like an eternity. In other words, it takes about 15 seconds for the average person to browse your main page and determine whether they will explore your site further!

So with that being said;

How do we grab your visitors attention????

Every new client of mine is asked to perform the same tasks. I ask them to explore their competitor’s web sites and look for specific triggers that would make them want to click on or buy right away. More times than none, my clients will notice specific “Headlines” or “Graphics” that really peek their interest. In doing this, you’ll have 1st hand knowledge on what you expect your visitors will see and possibly expect themselves.

Step 2, I’ll ask my clients to do one more process just like the previous one. I’ll ask them to make a list of all the “eye candy” that really caught their attention and write me a little note as to why it caught their attention. In doing this, it will give your web designer a 1st hand knowledge on what to implement within your site!!!

With these great tasks, you’ve made your job and the job of your web designer a lot easier to target your audience.

Sites that sell “Web Site Templates” :

You may have seen some sites that sell your the right for a specific “Template Style”. There are 100’s of resources out there. I need to clarify something for you, these templates are targeted at web designers only!!! Reason being, the files that you receive will no doubt require some expensive and time consuming software just to open them.

Now being a designer, I’m not about to “knock” pre-made templates but there’s a couple of things you may want to consider:

1) Although the templates you may encounter are very impressive, you will be sharing your layout template with 100’s, maybe 1000’s of other sites. The reason why they are so cheat is because those “specific templates” are sold and re-sold as much as possible!

2) I’ve noticed that many template examples out there on the web are extremely “Graphic Driven”. This will result in “slow loading times”. I’m sure we’ve all come across a site that seemed to take FOREVER to load!! How long did you actually wait for the site to load????

The best way to get a template is to have someone professional design your web site layout for you! This will ensure that your template is uniquely designed for your business. It will be easier for you to make changes in the future. Typically, a template may cost you between $0-$500 depending on the intensity and added features!

Now, we’ve talked about “Slow loading pages”. I’ve found a good “norm” to stick with when it comes to size and speed: Web sites are compiled of 2 elements:

1) Graphics & Layouts

2) Programming & Pages

Both of them require memory from your computer when downloading them. If one or the other is too large then this may result in negative results for your visitors.

Here’s a good norm to stick with, either you or your web designer should stick with these specs:

1) Graphic Design Layout: Should be no more than: 30-50K in size

2) Programming Pages: Shouldn’t be more than: 10-30k in size

Giving your entire web page no more than 40k-80k in size. Anything drastically more will result in the loss of many visitors from slow downloading pages.

Animation: Last but not least, making “some” aspects of you page stand out by adding small size animations. PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT overkill your site with graphics and animation!!! I can’t stress this enough, your visitors will most likely get a head ache from it and won’t be coming back very soon.

Instead, try targeting specific promotions or services you wish to attract your visitors to right away! Many sites exchange “animated banners” with other sites to exchange traffic. I personally NEVER take part in adding ANY banners on my site. I honestly feel that banners only take away from the design, not add to it! A typical “Banner Dimensions” is 468px x 60px. There are many other sizes!

What I will usually take part in, if any, is smaller, more unique banners that are geared to complimenting an article or text with it. This is much more effective because study shows us that “Content (text)” accompanied by a “graphic image” is more likely to be read by our visitors than just text on its own.

That about raps it up to having an effective web site template. Please look for my “continued” issues related to this article.

But be careful to not go overboard with the number of times you include your phrase, if used in excessively your site will be banned for spamming.

Having links that tell exactly what will happen when clicked on helps in usability efforts and can utilize your keywords: Example: Affordable Web Pricing : Always include your keyword inside the link command.

5. Always be aware of what the engines consider to be spam techniques. Its important or your website could be banned for their engines. Be sure never to repeat your keywords over and over and over, or to use invisible texts, use of mega refresh, doorway pages, linking farms and some forms of cloaking.

More ideas to consider when optimizing your website for the search engines:

The top search engines which are Yahoo (30%) and Google (35%) can take a few months for their engine bots to index your website.

Many tools exist to help you do exactly this as webtrends, clicktracks and many others.

Plus many other software exists that help you prepare a website to gain prominence in the engines: one popular seo software program is Webposition Gold.
If you’re listed in Yahoo your web pages will also show up here:
espotting, Goo, MSN, About, HotBot, Overture (non paid listings), and other distribution partners . Yahoo has recently purchased Alta vista, FAST and Inktomi search
Get listed in Directory as the Open Directory Project. Its free. Having a spot within this directory helps your ranking in Google and AOL listings.
To get listed, ranked and seen in these engine you need to think about obtaining legitimate links from other websites. Create a list of sites you feel would have a good synergy with you and ask for a link exchange.
If you want immediate web traffic you need to consider PPC campaigns as Overture and Adwords. Briefly, list your business in sponsored search results across the Web. You control your position by the amount you bid on keywords by setting your own price-per-click and pay only when a customer clicks through to your site.
Web Engines Companies and the algorithms they use to index web pages changes monthly!! You need to stay current on the latest trends. I’m a fan of planet ocean communications monthly newsletter (fee based) and search engine watch. Its important to stay up to date!

Human edited directory

Posted by admin

Web directories are the very useful part of the internet search technology. Most of the web directories are maintained by humans. Weather it is their administrators or a group of people who are hired as paid staff or volunteered. The best and the biggest example of our time is DMOZ.com the open directory project.

Many new directories have came into existence in past some years. Some are focused towards a particular niche like Travels, Real-estate, etc. Other major number of directories are the ones that provide listings of all the general web sites. Most of them allow a free listing on the directory as they monetize their web directories with the advertises from the sponsors or with google adsense. While other directories require you to pay a listing fees to get listed in that directory.

Web directory is the food for the search engine bot as they can get listings and the URL’s properly categorized by some human while crawling that directory. The incoming link for premium directories like DMOZ and Yahoo can surely benifit a lot to a web site in getting a better rankings then the competitors site.
