I don’t know about you, but when I built my first web site three years back I don’t know anything about the webloggers.

For few days I was thrilled to know about this. [...]

Whether you are designing a website yourself or getting someone to design it for you, here are some things you should NOT be placing on your website.
1. Last updated on (day/month/year)
Please dont tell your web visitors that you did not update your website. When you put this line this site was last updated on day-month-year no matter how current you are, you have just informed your visitors that your website is outdated. Many people do not update their websites [...]

Your web hosting provider should offer you “Usage Statistics”
or “Web Stats” with your account. These statistics are an

marketing efforts are paying off in visitors to your website. A
good statistics program will offer you the following information:

web hosting plan is great for creating a small personal
website.
Disadvantages:

Web statistics are one of the surest ways of tracking down a
poor webmaster – because under no circumstances will that
webmaster let you see them. He or she will offer you “digests”
(Heavily edited needless to say), will regret that your server
does not have statistics installed (highly improbable), or will
just say “I’m sorry?” and change the subject.
The excuses for sitting on this crucial source of data are many
and various because Webstats alias web server statistics are the
only cast-iron method of showing how [...]
