Drive More Traffic to Your Website With Your Web Page Title!
Posted on Jul.06, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments
One of the most overlooked, but important components, on your web page is the Meta title. The Meta title is the text or page title found at the top left of your browser window and it is also the title saved when a web site visitor bookmarks your website. Some people will argue that search engines put little or no value on the title tag, but regardless of how the Meta title figures into the ranking algorithm, the title tag [...]
7 Top Ways to Avoid Link Theft
Posted on Jun.29, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments
If you have a link directory on a website, how do you stop link theft by sites that don’t link back, or trick you into thinking they do?
Whether link theft is anything to get concerned about depends on how many links your website has, the quality of those links (Google Page Rank) and how many of those links you lose. Search Engine Ranking is certainly something that’s becoming more dependent upon the links to your website.
You might be forgiven for [...]
Links to Success
Posted on Jun.28, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments
Did you know that web linkage is responsible for a significant amount of web traffic?
Search engines are still extremely important but many of the most successful e-commerce sites claim that linkage programs offer a tremendous source of web traffic.
It makes sense. The nature of the World Wide Web encourages serious web surfers to navigate from site to site through the links to other related sites and resources “found” on the sites that are visited. People sometimes forget that the name [...]

How to Create a Favicon for Your Web Site
Posted on Apr.21, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
One of the simplest things you can do to give your site ‘identity’ and to make it stand out from other sites is to use a favicon (favourite icon). They are the little logos that go next to the website listing in your favourites folder, and pop up in other places, (depending on your browser and operating system). To see one, go to Big Wow Web Hosting. Bookmark the site, open another browser window and then go to open the [...]
Four Types of Ads To Avoid If You Want To Keep Your Visitors Happy!
Posted on Apr.20, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
It seems like most web sites are displaying ads on their web
pages these days. Some ads are not too noticeable while others
are so annoying that they push visitors away and possibly make
them leave the site. Pushing away visitors or potential
customers is never a webmaster’s goal so its best to place ads
in such a way as to avoid these kinds of problems.
Pop-up and Pop-under Ads
Some of the most annoying ads come in the form of a pop-up ad.
This type of [...]
Don’t Make Your Website User-UNfriendly!
Posted on Apr.13, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
Web Design is a very subjective process. Your idea of what looks good may differ from the next person’s. While wild backgrounds and flashing text were once considered ‘cool’, unwritten standards have evolved into every web designers inventory.
In the following examples I intend to convey a few of those user-unfriendly examples to you. My purpose is only to get you thinking about the layout and performance of your website. If you have one of these examples on your site, and [...]
How to Run Ads Without Driving Visitors Crazy
Posted on Apr.05, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
As you travel around the web, you’ll notice that most sites now
have ads in some form or another. Some of them are subtle, but
some of them just aren’t – in fact, after a while, the ads at
some sites can annoy you enough that you’ll either block them
out entirely or leave the website. This isn’t good for you, and
it isn’t good for the site’s owner – which is why you want to
avoid the problem or your website.
Basically, you probably want [...]
Just What is AJAX
Posted on Mar.26, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
There’s a craze on the web at the moment, and that craze is
named AJAX. What’s that? Well, according to some people, it’s a
technology that’s going to redefine the web. Just how many times
have you heard that statement.
The classic web application model works like this: Most user
actions in the interface trigger an HTTP request back to a web
server. The server does some processing — retrieving data,
crunching numbers, talking to various legacy systems — and then
returns an HTML page to the client.
What [...]

Posted on Mar.23, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
Have you ever read any of the following?
“Content is King.”
“Add Fresh Content Everyday To Get Your Site Visitors To Come
Back”
“Search Engines Like New, Fresh Content”
“Add Dynamic Content To Your Site To Increase Your Site’s
Traffic”
Are they true statements?
Yes.
So you look for a site that provides relevant content to your
site automatically to increase your traffic and help you with
