Shared web hosting is a boon for the webmasters, especially for the smaller ones with its inherent advantages of reduced costs. It simply means that the Webmaster can host all the website files on a single server sharing the bandwidth with a large number of other websites. The user gets to avail the advantages of using a very strong web server and that too at amazingly low costs per month. The USP of the shared web hosting services is that they are extremely economical to the user. You are just expected to make a low payment of 5 to 10 dollars per month for these kinds of services.

Even the most ignorant of small-scale entrepreneurs without any enhanced technical knowledge can make sure that their website will always remain in touch with the help of multiple email addresses. Your website will indeed have the maximum and the fastest connectivity. The customers can log on to these addresses at any point of time to file in their complaints. Therefore, these kinds of services are indeed a miracle for the upcoming E-commerce solutions where orders can be placed and payments made quickly at any point of time. Even customer queries can be processed quite easily with the help of this kind of an arrangement. You, as a Webmaster can be completely relaxed and can devote all the time to your business without having to worry about dealing with customers and clients.

Most of the advanced shared website hosting solutions offer the advantage of a round the clock customer support to the user. Since the service providers are dealing with a large number of websites all at a single point of time, they are able to provide a large amount of professional IT support to the users. This is highly beneficial because it ensures that the server downtimes are reduced to the least minimum.

Another brilliant advantage of the shared website hosting services is that they the users can easily set up a website within minutes with the help of these services.  The site activation time is amazingly low and the site just gets started instantaneously with the aid of single click software installs. This activated website contains all the fundamental pages that you need in order to make your website successful.

The advantages of such a shared web hosting server are enormous and an eager Webmaster can make sure that he/she can get all such benefits by comparing all the different services of such kind that are available in the market. One can also avail a large number of benefits because of the increased competition between the different service providers. For example, service providers are now giving the customers amazing benefits of a large bandwidth of 40 GB and a disk space up to as large as 1000 MB.

This kind of a collective server surely seems to be a very preferable option due to its low costs but an analysis is necessary before choosing the server, as it is a very critical factor that will definitely affect your online presence in the future.

There are many tools available to a webmaster to analyse website traffic allowing them to monitor the number of visitors, see what pages have been accessed and even the length of time each visitor spends accessing the website.

However, despite the vast amount of detailed information that is available what is missing is anything to tell the webmaster what the visitor was thinking. Did they dislike the site? Was the layout clear or confusing? Was it easy to navigate the website and were they able to find the information they wanted?

A website may be generating sales but why are there some people that are visiting the website and not buying anything? Was it because they didn’t like what the product or service were or was it that they couldn’t find what it was that they wanted?

Online surveys provide webmasters with an accurate method of answering these types of questions. Direct feedback from the website visitors cuts to the chase, there is no longer any need to guess, just ask the visitors directly how they arrived at the site and if they were able to find what they were looking for.

With an online survey webmasters can find out:-

• How often do people visit the website?
• How did they find the website?
• Is it for business or pleasure that they are interested in the website?
• Was the information they were looking for found on the website?
• How easy did they find navigating the website?
• Would they be prepared to recommend the website to others?

A good website survey will be brief and will gather information that once analysed will provide valuable information to help improve the website.

Another alternative to a traditional survey is to embed one or two survey questions within the website after specific procedures. One example would be to ask visitors at the end of the registration process if they found the procedure quick and easy; another example would be after ordering an item the customer could be asked if they found the ordering procedure and payment methods to their liking. To avoid regular visitors from being canvassed every time they visit, the website can be configured so that they are only ever asked once.

Website surveys take the mystery out of working out what visitors think of a website and using Online Survey Software they are quick and easy to design and once implemented will really become the webmaster’s assistant.

Do you think you have a good Domain name in mind for your site?

WAIT!
Before you rush out register it there are a several things you need to consider.

• Is your idea marketable do people want it?
• What other words describe your site?
• How competitive is your market?
• Does the domain name describe your sites contents?
• How easy is it to remember the URL?

Existing Businesses

If you have an existing business you already have brand name recognition so its important to include your business name.

i.e. www.shopname.com

If that domain is taken then consider how people will search for your site. Most people will google something like (shop name) + (city) so  why not name it www.shopnamecity.com or www.shopname-city.com these domain names will almost certainly be available.

You may find that .net .us .org domain extensions are available beware of these extensions as people type .com automatically. You may wish to purchase these domains & forward to your main site.

Online Businesses

Very Important – Do people want what your selling?

Before you rush ahead & spend hours developing a site with no value think of 6 or more words that best describe your idea.

Go to Wordtracker (Its Free) & see how many people are searching those exact words. List your keywords by search volume.

Now you now know 2 things;

1. Is this an idea worth pursuing?
2. What words generated the most searches.

Obviously if  very few people are searching for your main keywords then this idea is not worth pursuing as an e-commerce business. Save your money & register for a free blog at www.blogger.com if you are really dedicated to the idea.

If your keywords have goog search volume you can move on.

Don’t worry about competition at this stage I will cover search engine optimization in competitive markets later, it is more important that there are allot of searches.

Armed with your keywords you are now ready to find the perfect domain name for your new business.

Write down some options using the most popular keyword or a mixture of your keywords. It is very important that the url is representative of the sites content.

A person searching the internet for  E-Commerce will click www.E-CommerceNewbie.com before  www.mywebsite.com

TIP – Hyphens as in E-Commerce are not generally a good idea however using Wordtracker you will find that more people search for E-Commerce than eCommerce.

At one time, Google Adsense was the darling of the Internet Marketing World. Noobs jumped on board the Adsense bandwagon believing they would make money fast and be holding up large checks like Shoemoney. Then, after a few weeks getting just peanuts for their clicks, they then become angry and screamed to anyone within earshot that Adsense doesn’t work any longer.

The truth is, there are quite a few of us who are bringing down great money with Google Adsense. Making money with Adsense requires a little more than just throwing up a blog, scraping content and adding your Adsense code. In a Nutshell, Adsense is still one of the quick ways to make cash online. Here’s some Pro techniques that will help increase your check from Adsense.

To begin with, take a long hard look at the site where you have your ads. Is your site targeted to one niche? I find it really humurous sometimes when so called Internet Marketer say you can’t make any money with Adsense. I usually check out their site and see that it isn’t optimized for any keyword that advertisers would be bidding on. Or, what advertisers that are bidding are bidding a nickel per hit. The lack of a focused website is one of the biggest reasons Webmasters don’t make money with Google Adsense.

For Adsense to show your visitors the highest paying ads, your site has to be very targeted to a niche. For instance, if you post articles on a website talking about everything from how green the grass is today to how sloppy your kids teacher dressed, Google is not going to give you high paying clicks. What’s more, the ones you do get probably won’t be targeted to your audience because the Adsense bot is having a hard time trying to determine what your web site is about.

Now listen up. For example, let’s say you started a blog about chicken wings. On this site, you only have articles dealing with chicken wings. You have articles about Hot Wings, Barbecue Chicken Wings, Wing Sauce Recipes, How to cook Chicken Wings, etc. Now if you’ve done your on-page SEO properly, the Adsense bot will know that you site is all about Chicken Wings. You’ll get the highest paying ads related to cooking chicken or even chicken wings their self. People coming to your site looking for information about chicken wings will click those ads.

Still yet, another humorous statemetn is when a noob says he’s getting a steady stream of traffic from Stumble Upon or Digg, but he isn’t getting any clicks? It’s no secret to most of us that Social Traffic doesnt convert. Traffic from Social Sites are just browsing the Internet while they should be working. They don’t click ads people!

Google traffic is what drives clicks to Adsense. If your website is niche focused and you have your site ranking well for its keywords, then when organic traffic from Google arrives, they’ll be clicking ads. They’re searching for information and they found it on your site. Your site has a bunch of Adsense ads about what they’re looking for. They want information and they want it now. They will click those ads!

Yet another strategy is to have some vague or long drawn out articles on your site. If someone is looking for a recipe on Chicken Wings with Cheese Fritters and you have an article by the same name, they’ll be reading that article. But if that article is really long and boring and says very little about Chicken Wings with Cheese Fritters, they’ll get bored and start looking around your site. That’s when they’ll see an Adsense block with an ad for a sure fire, can’t miss Chicken Wing with Cheese Fritter recipe and click on it. You don’t want to solve their problems, you want them to see an ad that they believe will solve their problem so they will click on it!

Okay, that’s enough for now. I’ll let you think about what I just said. Meanwhile, go look at your site and see where you can improve it. Get it focused on one niche. Having a website over too many topics is what gets you those nickel clicks!
