Choosing a good niche subject to base your website around is one of the most important aspects of making money off of your articles. This will give you a foundation to build from and you can target one general audience with a pack of keywords that they are most likely to be searching for. You should take each one of these keywords and use it for the basis of one article on each page. This way, even though you are targeting one specific subject, you will be sure to interest a wide variety of people in that one niche. They may also find other pages that interest them, which will keep them returning to your site to learn new information about the niche subject.<br />
<br />
The best way to find keywords for your niche subject is to use a keyword software program and type in the word that is the subject of your niche. This will generate a list of keywords or phrases that contain your niche and will also show you approximately how many people search for each word or phrase. Some software programs may also tell you how many sites are out there to compete with for each word or phrase (this will help you know if those sites are worth competing with for the number of searches out there). You then deicide which of these would be most profitable by determining which have the least amount of competitors, so that you have a chance at making it to the first or second page of search engine results, but that also have a decent amount of people looking for that keyword or phrase each month. These will be the keywords or phrases that you will base the pages of your niche site on.<br />
<br />
If there are a number of topics that you like, pick the one that you feel would be easiest to start with and then, once that site is built and generating some revenue, you can start another site. The most profitable website marketers, who use their talent of finding niches and combining that with good site content and a handful of affiliate links, have a good amount and variety of niche sites that they have started. You are never limited in what you can do with niche website marketing, unless you find out that you do not have the marketing skills or the needed funding to make it happen. Otherwise, the sky is the limit!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-19248277321883257292017-02-19T07:45:00.004-08:002017-02-19T07:45:55.551-08:00Making Money with Articles: Letting Others Use Your Articles<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Let others use your articles, along with your byline which will tell visitors who wrote it and how they can contact you, on their website. This will help to promote your own website and bring you in traffic through the search engine optimization and promotional efforts of others. For you this means absolutely free marketing just for writing a quick article about a subject that you are already familiar with. The more people who use your article as content as their website, the more potential traffic you will receive. These webmasters will probably be using SEO techniques, banner exchanges, and possibly even a Pay-Per-Click campaign to get visitors to their affiliate site. These are advertising methods that either take a lot of time or a lot of money and they will be absolutely free for you just because you placed your articles where others could use them. There are many places on the Internet that offer to post your article so that others may view and/or use it. My advice is to place your articles on every single one of these sites so that you can reach as many webmasters as possible.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-26874909994715561962017-02-18T01:54:00.000-08:002017-02-18T01:54:04.646-08:00Making Money with Articles: How Much Can I Make?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How much you can make from placing articles and affiliate links on your website differs from person to person. How much you are able to make will depend mostly on how successful your site is. This means getting good search engine rankings through SEO efforts, making your site enjoyable and informative to read through engaging content, building your site around a great niche subject, how big your site is, and how many sites you have.<br />
<br />
Some people claim to make as much as $10,000 per month ($120,000 per year) through building and promoting niche sites, however, most people should not expect this kind of success, especially if you are very new, as that kind of success usually only comes with experience and acquired skill. A reasonable income to expect from a niche site, after you have worked for months to gain traffic and are hooked up with good affiliates, may be $500-$1,000 per month. However this is recurring income, so you will make that much monthly off of the efforts you put into that one site, it is not a one shot deal.<br />
<br />
After you have a successful site, most choose to continue to build niche sites. The more sites that you build, the better an income you can generate. Some also choose to build very fast and very short sites over sites that are slightly longer in length. It should be noted that the larger each of your sites are, the more income you will likely generate off of them.<br />
<br />
When starting out, it is important to remember that your first site will always be your hardest, since you are just learning the ropes of the business, and that not everyone is cut out to market and promote niche sites. It may not work out for you and you may end up losing a little bit of money, but that is a risk that everyone in this business has to take.<br />
<br />
The important thing is that you don’t give up without a good shot at it, if this is really what you want to do. Your first site may take a long time, the work may be tedious, and you may feel like throwing in the towel. However, if you give up too early, you will never know what could have been. And who knows, you may be the next great website marketer!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-64777024172594678112017-02-18T01:53:00.000-08:002017-02-18T01:53:15.350-08:00Making Money with Articles: How to Choose a Web Designer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are two important things to remember when looking for a web designer:<br />
<br />
First, it is important to go with a freelancer if you are looking for a small and simple site. You can probably get one done for $30 to $50. There are many freelancing companies on the web that you can tap into to find the designer for you.<br />
<br />
Second, it is important that you ask to see a few sample sites that the web designer has done and that you check any ratings that may be available for the designer. This may keep you from getting wrapped up in a project with someone who will not finish or cannot do the type of job that they claim they can do.<br />
<br />
If you cannot put together your own website to host your articles on and you don’t want to pay the extra $7 to $12 dollars per month that it may cost to get a host that offers a What You See Is What You Get website builder, then your only other option is to hire a web designer. The good thing is that, if you are looking for a very basic 2-5 page site and you hire a freelancer rather than going with a web design company, then it will be relatively easy on your wallet.<br />

Learn to use search engine optimization techniques when writing your articles. If hiring a writer to write articles for you, you can choose one who already knows about SEO or you can supply them with a list of keywords and let them know where they should be placed and how many times they should be repeated throughout the article. Optimizing your articles for search engines will help them rank higher when someone searches for a keyword relating to your subject, which means that you will receive more visitors because more people will actually see your URL. It is a fact that most visitors don’t look past the first search engine result page and by the third search engine results page there is practically no audience left for you to promote to. What this means for those on the third or high page is no traffic. This is why it is very important for you to make sure that your articles are prepared in a way that will eventually get them to that first or second search engine results page.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-28105678402910550182017-02-17T01:50:00.000-08:002017-02-18T01:51:08.301-08:00Making Money with Articles: Freelance Writers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you cannot or do not wish to write your articles yourself, you can search different outsourcing companies to find a freelance writer to help you grow your business and your website. These freelancers will ghost write articles for you which means that you will own all copyrights to the material that is produced to do with what you want. Freelance writers have a talent for writing, however, they would rather make quick money off of writing for others, rather than taking the time to build a niche website that will need to be heavily marketed and promoted to begin earning revenue. They are usually not marketers, but rather people who have a gift for the written word. On the other hand, those who are looking to make money from articles are marketers. They are looking to build websites that will give them long term revenue, rather than one quick payment and that is it. This Internet pool or freelance writers will open up a good opportunity for you to receive the quality, original content that you are looking for to build your niche site.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-8393781578799525782017-02-16T01:17:00.001-08:002017-02-16T01:17:20.032-08:00Making Money with Articles: Free Article Content<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some webmasters try to use articles from free content directories to get visitors to their site and make some money. This is mostly important for those who have just begun working as an affiliate for several companies and do not yet have any funding, yet need to built small niche websites to visitors to their site so that they can begin making revenue.<br />
<br />
Although this can sometimes be the only option for those who are running on a non-existent budget, it is not a way that will effectively build your website or revenue. There are a few potential reasons why this may be detrimental to your business building efforts.<br />
<br />
Problem #1 - Search Engines<br />
<br />
Search engines will only look down upon your site if it has the exact same duplicated content than other sites. The more sites that share your content, the less it will help you achieve good search engine rankings.<br />
<br />
Good search engine rankings are essential in getting visitors to your sit so that they have a chance to click on your affiliate links. If you cannot even get visitors, then will never make an revenue. Working on the search engine optimization of your site so that you will eventually be high enough in the results to get customers, should be priority one.<br />
<br />
Problem #2 - Getting visitors to click<br />
<br />
Although getting your site high on search engine result pages and acquiring site visitors is hard work, unfortunately this is only half of the battle. You must also be able to convince those visitors to click on your affiliate links. If your visitors see the same content they have seen on a multitude of other sites, they will be least likely to click on your links. This is because most people want to buy things that are recommended by people that they trust or whom they feel like are an expert on the subject.<br />
<br />
If your content is just duplicated from other sites, you will be exposed as someone who does not really know what they are talking about and therefore will not look heavily on your product recommendations. This will reduce the number of website visitors who will be willing to click through.<br />
<br />
Problem #3 - Author Bylines<br />
<br />
Most free content is only given to you if you agree to place the authors byline under the article (you can get into trouble if you try to use it without following the stipulated rules). This poses a problem because most author bylines include links. When a reader gets done reading a really intriguing article, there is a strong possibility that they will click on the author’s byline link rather than your affiliate links. This is the entire reason why these authors offer free content to begin with, so that they may get their name and links out there to the public. Using this type of content may mean shooting yourself in the foot and losing possible profitable website visitors.<br />
<br />
Once you put these three problems together, you are looking at a serious decline in revenue simply because you used free website content from article directories. Although it may be the only option for some, if you have the funds to buy your own original content, then you should go this route. If you don’t have the finds, however, you may be better off writing your own content and then hiring professional services once you have made a profit to work with.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-64004785424895281112017-02-16T01:16:00.000-08:002017-02-16T01:16:11.160-08:00Making Money with Articles: Finding a Writer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finding the right freelance writer to produce your revenue generating articles can take a bit of time, however, if you find one that can easily take on another regular client and the two of you work well together, then that one difficult search will turn into a lot of profitable articles.<br />
<br />
When you start your search, you may want to begin with a very small group of articles, just in case you happen too hook up with a writer that you are less than thrilled with. It is important to keep in mind that there are several different types of writing and each writer might be highly skilled in one area, yet lack in another. For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical writing, news writing, general informational article writing, critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing, technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing, and sports writing. Although a writer may be highly skilled in one area, many freelance writers spread themselves out into others areas as well. So, it is critical that the writer you choose can produce the type of content that you need.<br />
<br />
To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget.<br />
<br />
From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level. Make sure that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample. He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, the more you are willing to pay per article, the more bids you will get from quality writers who know how to entertain and inform your website visitors so that they keep coming back for more. Writers know that you will eventually make a ton of money off of each article or content piece. So although $30 or more for a 500 word article may seem like a lot, when you think about the service they are providing you and the time and effort that they put into your piece, then you will realize that it really is not a lot for that one article. If you pay for quality, you will be amazed at how much you will eventually make off of your articles.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-88414837941617306552017-02-15T04:16:00.004-08:002017-02-15T04:16:32.186-08:00Making Money with Articles: Becoming an Affiliate <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you can either write articles or have the promotion and marketing knowledge to publicize articles that others write, becoming an affiliate for several companies may be a great way for you to generate a good income right from your own home. You can do this by receiving part of the revenue off of sales that the company gets from people who “click through” from your website via the company’s links that are placed on your pages.<br />
<br />
Since you will be promoting a product or service, you will need a killer sales pitch and website content to get your readers interested in the product, convince them that they cannot live without the product, and to keep them coming back to your website time and time again for more recommendations and your useful content, which will get them clicking on your links once again. Although many affiliate companies only give you money off of the first sale you make from each customer, you have the option of promoting a good range of companies so that you can still make a profit off of your returning customers.<br />
<br />
If you cannot write this kind of content of your own, there are many ways to pick up free or paid content to place on your affiliate website. There are many reasons why paying for such articles would be to your advantage. First, you will be able to tell the writer exactly what you want, what product you are trying to sell, and what direction they can go in to keep your readers interested and informed. On the other hand, when you search for free content, you are limited to what is already out there. Secondly, you will own the copyright to this content. That means that no one else can reuse it without your consent. If you opt for free content, you will be sharing that content with an unknown amount of other affiliate websites, plus the original author will be able to place their byline at the bottom of the article which could result in them stealing your traffic.<br />
<br />
There are many products that have nice affiliate commission rates for those who know how to pre-sale their product and deliver click through customers who are ready to buy. As long as you choose to promote a product or service that can be very useful to a wide variety of people, then pre-selling your chosen company may not be that hard at all. The key in this situation may likely be getting those customers to your website so that they have a chance to see your recommendations and click on your affiliate links.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-44771451085926204262017-02-15T04:15:00.004-08:002017-02-15T04:15:44.637-08:00Making Money with Articles: Do It Yourself Web Design<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When you are trying to make money through promoting articles and affiliate links, you will need a good, simple, and easy to navigate website to put them on. There are two ways that you can accomplish this: you can try to do it yourself if you have any web design skills or you can hire someone.<br />
<br />
Doing it yourself, unless you were a pro to begin with, can be difficult for some. You will need to read many tutorials and it may take some time to get going. You could also risk having a site that looks very badly made and thrown together. It is also important (for visitors and search engines) that your site is easy to navigate, which may be a problem if you do not know what you are doing.<br />
<br />
Making a Do It Yourself website can be hard, but if you accomplish your goal, maybe you will learn so much that you can write a few articles on it to add to a new DIY niche site!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-54463486508183256782017-02-14T04:12:00.000-08:002017-02-15T04:13:26.163-08:00Making Money with Articles: Easy to Read Articles<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When writing articles, make sure to keep your readers in mind. Studies have shown that most Internet readers tend to scan a page to find the information they are looking for, rather than reading the entire page. This means having good titles, a lot of subtitles, and making use of bullet points to help your readers easily scan your page. Readers prefer a site like this that is easy to use and will be more willing to come back to your site time and time again. The more that your readers return, the more opportunities you will have to get them to click on each one of your affiliate links. Failing to write your articles in this manner, or to have them written this way, could turn your site visitors away before they even have a chance to see what you have to say or to learn what your affiliate links are all about. Keeping your articles organized as recommended will keep your visitors returning and enable your site to continue making money for you.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-38486189319058804532017-02-14T04:11:00.000-08:002017-02-15T04:13:15.475-08:00Making Money with Articles: Ease Into It<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When you are trying to make money off of the articles on your website, it is important to effectively promote your site so that you will attract customers and they can see just what a good, quality site you have. There are several ways so market and promote your website, one of them being though banner advertisements.<br />
<br />
What Banner Ads Can Do For You<br />
<br />
Banner ads can help bring visitors from others sites to your own. Although monthly fees can be expensive to advertise on high traffic sites, in the end it may be cheaper and/or a faster way to start seeing significant revenue from your website efforts, rather than waiting for SEO techniques to bring your own site to the top of search engine results. Aside from paying to advertise on someone else’s site, there are also free banner exchanges to choose from. We will look at the pros and cons of each banner advertising method below.<br />
<br />
Free Banner Exchanges<br />
<br />
Free banner exchanges are when you and other sites exchange each others banners. Their banner will go on your site and your banner will go one their site. Although this option is free, there are two main problems with it. First, if you want your banner on a significant number of sites, it will mean cluttering your own site up with these banners. This could even shot you in the foot if you run an affiliate website because, instead of clicking on your affiliate links, your visitors may be clicking on your banner exchange links. Secondly, you have to be really careful about the types of sites that you exchange banners with. Some sites like to gather a lot of banners so that they can be a directory or portal site and not have to have any real content. These “banner farms” or “link farms” will do nothing positive for your site and, in the meantime, you will be bringing them potential traffic.<br />
<br />
Paid Banner Ads<br />
<br />
As we saw above, paid banner ads cost money, but they will eventually pay off if you choose the right ones. You need to ensure that the site produces the amount of traffic that they say and that they have your ad placed in a way that invites visitors to click without being too pushy. You also want to choose a site that does not house too many other banners on the same page as yours or that there are no competitor links on the same page.<br />
<br />
All in all, banner ads can end up being profitable for you site if you go about it the right way. If you do decide to check out banner advertisement as a marketing avenue, be sure to keep the above tips in mind.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-90318012007103363482017-02-13T14:17:00.000-08:002017-02-13T14:17:23.606-08:00Making Money with Articles: Article Directories<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Article directories are websites that house free articles. These articles are usually put there by whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotion method. Each article has the owners byline placed under it so that those who eventually read the article will know who wrote it (or at least who owns it) and will be able to get in contact with or visit their website for further information.<br />
<br />
Articles directories are a great place to put your articles so that they will make you money. By using this method, people who are interested in your product or service will see your article, view you as an expert in the subject, and will visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not have any knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example for you run an affiliate website), you can always hire a writer to do the work for you. Getting quality articles written will be expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in no time, either through affiliate sales or selling your own services, and everything from then on is pure profit.<br />
<br />
Let’s take a real life example. Imagine that you are an accountant working from home. You write an article on an accounting topic and place it on various article directories. Those who are looking for the subject you wrote about will read your article, see that you have the knowledge and skill that is needed to do a job for them, and visit your website or contact you via e-mail. Your article just gained you a new client who may use your services regularly, but will definitely give you a nice profit at least once.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Furthermore, since you have posted it on a free article directory, others who have affiliate websites about accounting will inevitably use your article for their website. Since they must attach your byline to it, this will bring you even more exposure for every website that re-posts your article. This because you will be benefiting of off the traffic that they get to their website.<br />
<br />
There are numerous article directories out there for you to utilize. Your bet best is to put a copy of each of your articles on every one for maximum exposure. It will eventually help to bring more traffic and customers to your website, which will lead to new orders and more profit.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-70274919853485026012017-02-12T05:58:00.003-08:002017-02-12T05:58:40.715-08:00How to create a sitemap<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK88nuqnWHrCp37F2SKhkXjiTveVCS5XNgJN4AH0CQwXoORoxD5O8cTCkKR7aukc6ZEQgCoDTDalMLos_6wqlqZmqvJfqsJ5cC88_njg0jixxRULfl37wb5W5H_Q8SEmcwHOFkvnttPz0/s1600/Junk+File+Info+Side.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK88nuqnWHrCp37F2SKhkXjiTveVCS5XNgJN4AH0CQwXoORoxD5O8cTCkKR7aukc6ZEQgCoDTDalMLos_6wqlqZmqvJfqsJ5cC88_njg0jixxRULfl37wb5W5H_Q8SEmcwHOFkvnttPz0/s320/Junk+File+Info+Side.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
A sitemap of a website is similar to the table of contents of a book. Sitemaps are important because it guides web surfers to the particular part of the website they have a point of interest in. With it they would save time following links and get right to the point instead.<br />
<br />
Sitemaps are also where search engines look at if somebody is looking for a particular keyword or phrase. If you have a site map, you can most likely be searched.<br />
<br />
Creating a sitemap, now with software technology surging in, is relatively easier than before. You need not be a programming guru to be one. All need is a notepad, a program editor, and some patience. Here’s how you do it:<br />
<br />
Create the listing on a notepad.<br />
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a notepad. Any word processing program will do. First off, make sure to type in all the parts and pieces of your website. Include all pages and all links you have. Create it as if you listing the contents of your book. Make a draft first. You’re sure no to miss something out this way.<br />
<br />
Create a new page for your sitemap.<br />
You can insert the sitemap on your website on one of its pages or you can create an entirely different page for it. Using your notepad, incorporate all tags necessary to it to make another webpage. Open up your website creator program and tag your sitemap using it. If you have created your website on your own, this will be easy for you.<br />
<br />
Create a link for the sitemap.<br />
You won’t be able to view the sitemap if you won’t put a link for it, of course. Create the link on the front page of your website so that visitors can view it right away and be directed appropriately.<br />
<br />
Check your work.<br />
It is important to validate the functionality of the links you created on the sitemap. Test each and every one in there and if you get an error, be sure to fix it accurately. Run through every single page to make sure that all are accounted for.<br />
<br />
Upload your work.<br />
Place the sitemap now on your live browser and double check it. It should function as smoothly as the dry run. Error should be minimal at this stage since you already have verified it locally.<br />
<br />
The steps provided herewith is the manual way of creating a sitemap. These days, if you search hard enough on the web, you will find online programs that will do all these work for you. All you have to do it type in the URL or the link of your website and they will create the sitemap with click of a button.<br />
<br />
Of course that method is generic. All of you who have created their sitemap that way will have an end product that is all the same, plus there’s that possibility that something else will be inserted in there too. Then again, the process is less taxing and way, way simpler.<br />
<br />
But if you want a more personalized output, and you are pretty good with computers and programming yourself, better make one of your own. And since you made your website anyway, creating sitemap is just like creating any other page on the website. Other than you’ll know for sure the links are accurate, you can organize the links the way you prefer it to be. Major parts of the site are emphasized compared to less significant. This is important especially if you are selling products or offering services online.<br />
<br />
Sitemap is vital to a website. People search the web a lot for something. If your website has what that particular person is looking for, and your sitemap reports it, then you have a new customer looking at your items. Not only that, they will see some other things up for sale that they might be interested in as well.<br />
<br />
Sitemaps, be it generated by a program automatically or you made it yourself, presents the same purpose. That is to lead your visitors to where they’re likely headed, and for you to be seen on the World Wide Web through search spiders. So with these, make sure your website has a sitemap of its own, lest make one.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-58291029414659257162017-02-12T05:57:00.003-08:002017-02-12T05:57:43.852-08:00Sitemap taxonomy - To classify web content<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sitemap taxonomy is a way to classify the tremendous amount of information available on the World Wide Web. Organizing web content is a lot of work that requires manpower and money. But creating sitemap taxonomy is a process that must be done in order to make information readily available to users.<br />
<br />
Often times the information is there but users are unable to access it. With the sitemap taxonomy, web content is arranged in such a way that the user will be able to use it effectively. As it is more and more users are flooded with information that is useless to them thus creating frustration.<br />
<br />
Impact of sitemap taxonomy to Internet marketing<br />
<br />
Sitemap taxonomy can be a big boost to Internet marketing. The whole purpose of being on the web is to get exposure to a wider audience of potential customers. Unfortunately, the overflow of information often makes it impossible for searchers or browsers to find what they need.<br />
<br />
Most of the time online users form searches that often turn up useless or non-relevant results. This is not only frustrating for users but also for any company advertised on the web. Users are left guessing the right keyword they need to use in order to get the information they need off the web.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately not all users have the patience to keep guessing until they find the right keyword. More often than not, users will give up their search and go on with another search. This can mean lost sales for any company on the web that doesn't have a sitemap taxonomy.<br />
<br />
Building a sitemap taxonomy<br />
<br />
Many people may think that building sitemap taxonomy is an easy simple process of putting together keywords. Sorry to say, sitemap taxonomy is a demanding task however it does have its rewards. With an effective sitemap taxonomy in place, a website is more likely to get more traffic that would translate into profits.<br />
<br />
Working out a sitemap taxonomy is often a trial and error process. It requires using the right terms that users are better acquainted with, in order for them to find their way through the site. At the same time, using the wrong terms may make it impossible for users to find what they need within the site. <br />
<br />
There are generally two sets of online users that should benefit from the sitemap taxonomy, browsers and searchers. Browsers often use the sitemap taxonomy to find their way within a site while searchers use online search engines to find the information they need. No matter what type of user is involved, the sitemap taxonomy should address the needs of both users. Enabling either user to find the content they need.<br />
<br />
Do-it-yourself sitemap taxonomy<br />
<br />
The best candidate for creating the sitemap taxonomy of a site is the company itself or the individual behind the website content. Although hiring a professional to create the sitemap taxonomy of the site is an option, it is best that someone with firsthand knowledge of the website's content do it. There are a number of important aspects to consider before doing the sitemap taxonomy.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that in general the sitemap taxonomy should be extensive not profound. Putting together profound sitemap taxonomy may only make matters worse as the user will have a difficult time finding the subject matter they need. It is also best to use basic terms instead of advertising jargon that can be easily understood by all.<br />
<br />
When structuring the sitemap taxonomy, it is important to maintain some exactness at the highest levels. This helps make it easier for users to navigate the site and find the information they need. It is also a good idea to limit the number of items under each level from two to seven subject matters. If not then it is best to combine subject matters for a more efficient sitemap taxonomy.<br />
<br />
Take into account that sitemap taxonomy is not an exact science. It requires constant fine-tuning in order to produce an effective sitemap taxonomy. However the entire process will pay off big in the long run as users who are more likely to find what they need are those more likely to spend money.<br />

The reason why site maps are indispensable is due to its helpfulness in letting the surfers understand the site program and plan and therefore, speed up the way to onset to what the site will be showcasing. This is a part of the website created where the edifice of a web site can be visible to a surfer or visitor. These visitors can choose the link to where they want to surf with just a touch of the mouse of keyboard.<br />
<br />
Here are Significant key pointers of a good site map, which helps visitors at finding information faster on a web site:<br />
<br />
· The site map should be the simplest page on the web site.<br />
· Keep the name "Site Map" so those visitors won't be having a hard time looking for it.<br />
· Always avoid "dynamic" site maps. Those in which the visitors have to find their way easily to get hold of information.<br />
· If the site map is list of text links, use the TITLE attribute of the anchor tag and include keywords inside it.<br />
· Putting a sentence describing the page contents below the link for that page on a site map is always good.<br />
· It should not be the primary navigation on the web site it should complement it.<br />
· It is very important that there is a link to the site map page and all pages should carry this link. The site map link can be combined with other links in the main menu on the web site or placed at a section on the web page from which is it clearly seen.<br />
· Other important factors on a web site should complement site maps. For example, the link color for visited links should be different from that of not yet visited links so that visitors have a clear idea which pages they have already seen and thus, save time.<br />
<br />
In addition to the advantages a site map showcase to "living" surfers, it is also significant for robot surfers from search engines . As a web developer should be aiming to get all visible pages on the web site found in the search engine database. As expected a site map, from one page to another, should carry links to all, it is an ideal form to submit to search engines . Submission of the site map to a search engine might help in getting all web pages indexed quickly by the search engine. I may be incorrect since I have no data to support this point but it just seems logical. However, on a similar note, there is still a limit to all the information that a search engine could provide a visitor. For example, if there’s a page which is not found in the directory program of the web site, it will not be detected other search engines. With this in mind, another importance of a site map it tells the search engine instantly to go to a specifc page rather than scouting through the links.<br />
<br />
Two important questions:<br />
1. Will the website appear as it was planned even for robots?<br />
2. Are the pages exact and effectively designed?<br />
Having a site map assists the creator in planning the site before he can even start creating it. Once the pages have been decided, the whole thing becomes simpler and the web pages designs are easily matched to the creator’s ideas. <br />
<br />
There are 5 important tips in making a good site map:<br />
<br />
Good Site Must-Have 1<br />
The logo should be linked to the website homepage.<br />
<br />
Good Site Must-Have 2<br />
The Site map must be place either on top or on the upper left, under the header. Unless everything’s in order already and sure about the design, never try to alter or make changes for a while.<br />
<br />
Good Site Must-Have 3<br />
There must be a congenial way to go around searching the web site. Do not place the site map in a location that is different from one page to another, like if it is placed horizontally on one page, it should be placed horizontally on the rest of the other pages. However, the case is different if it is a navigation system for a homepage. This could differ in homepages.<br />
<br />
Good Site Must-Have 4<br />
Additionally, the logo of the homepage should be linked with a “HOME” or any equivalent sign for easy work around or navigation. There should also be a “contact us,” “about our site,” pages to be visited.<br />
<br />
Good Site Must-Have 5<br />
The golden rule for a good site map is that the number of a visitor’s clicks should be leading him every step of the way and not jumping to other pages. It is required that the move should be as easy, reliable and above all, very user-friendly.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-34202106334150105252017-02-11T18:34:00.001-08:002017-02-11T18:34:38.608-08:00Sitemaps 101 – Benefits of and Tips on Designing a Sitemap<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have you ever wondered how a search engine works? It must be fascinating figuring out how this search tool could direct you to several websites that are relevant to your keywords. Or, have you experienced instances where the link that supposedly contains your keywords is not exactly what you have in mind? You would probably think that there must be something wrong with the search engine that it generated irrelevant results.<br />
<br />
How does a search engine work?<br />
Two things figure greatly in making search engines work effectively and efficiently: the electronic search spider and the sitemap.<br />
<br />
What is a sitemap?<br />
A sitemap is basically a page or pages that serve/s as a directory by listing all the links to all documents and files found in a website. It is not merely a random listing of links, but organized in such a way that it gives the web user an idea of how all the information that can be found in the site fits into an outline or framework. It is like viewing the table of contents of a book, or viewing the “concept map” of the site’s content.<br />
<br />
What is a spider?<br />
In SEO language, spider is not an animal found in your closet. This electronic search spider is actually a bot which collects data and copies content to be stored in the search engine’s database when keywords are fed into the search dialogue box. The spider reads the content of the site and sends another bot to follow the links and copy the content contained in them.<br />
<br />
What purpose does a sitemap serve?<br />
A sitemap like any other map gives directions to a navigator. It primarily targets search engine spiders so that they are properly directed to your site and to the links where keywords entered in the search dialogue appears. As such, it is actually a useful tool in search engine optimization. A well organized site map would guide the spider to find the information it needs when keywords are entered during a search operation.<br />
<br />
As an additional beneficial consequence, sitemaps have proven to be useful even to web users. Since a sitemap displays all the links to information found in a website, it helps the user to search for a particular topic in mind. Many users also use the sitemap to navigate between pages in a site.<br />
<br />
What are the benefits of having a sitemap for my website?<br />
<br />
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>No page would be left unturned<br />
Going back to the purpose of sitemaps, having one would mean faster and easier tracking and crawling of spiders all over your site. As a result, search engines would surely get to the view all the pages of your site and not just the pages containing random keywords.<br />
<br />
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Easier navigation for site visitors<br />
Once a web user has accessed your sitemap, they need not go back to the search engine page to look for what they need. If what they are looking for is in your site, then they would have an easier and faster way of locating it.<br />
<br />
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Potential advertising value<br />
If it so happens that a relevant product or service company reaches your site, then it would be easier for them to see how best they can position themselves in the different pages of your site as a paid page advertisement.<br />
<br />
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Encourage greater traffic to your site<br />
If your company website has a sitemap then potential buyers would have an easier time in accessing your latest products and services. Moreover, they would not miss out on any product that might be off future interest to them since the sitemap would display all information found the site.<br />
<br />
How are sitemaps formatted?<br />
There are at least three major types of sitemaps: indexed, full categorical, and restricted categorical. An indexed site map appears as an alphabetical listing or directory.<br />
A full categorical map displays all links classified into categories; while a restricted categorical sitemap displays all links listed in a chosen category at a time. The full and restricted sitemaps are very similar except that the former displays all links in all categories all at once in a page, while the latter focuses only the links under the selected category for easier and less eye-straining viewing.<br />
<br />
The most widely used format is the full categorical. Based on the results of a 1999 SURL study on sitemap designs, the full categorical format is most preferred by users since it is easier to search for topics within the site and it allows easier comparison between and among categories.<br />
<br />
Some tips in setting up your sitemap<br />
<br />
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Link the sitemap only to your homepage.<br />
This is to ensure that the spider starts searching from your homepage down to all the pages listed in your sitemap. In this way, no page would be left unvisited by the spider.<br />
<br />
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Do not go beyond 30 pages for a sitemap.<br />
Large websites having 50 or more pages should not go beyond 30 since this adds more pages to the site, and might make search engines think that the sitemap is a link farm. Also, this prevents overcrowding of links which could be tiring to view.<br />
<br />
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Check all the links listed in your sitemap.<br />
It can be discouraging when you click on a link only to find out that nothing is displayed. Test your sitemap; click all links in every page to make sure that all links are indeed linked to the right page.<br />
<br />
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Give keyword-rich titles to sitemap links.<br />
Keyword-rich titles give your site more advantage in being searched properly under the right category. But be sure to have this sitemap link linked back to the sitemap (e.g. back to sitemap).<br />
<br />
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Provide a short description for the links in the sitemap.<br />
Doing so would give readers a better idea of what to find in the link and save them time on surfing.<br />
<br />
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Be consistent in designing your sitemap with the other pages of the site.<br />
Employ a recurring design and the same HTML template for all pages to establish identity and build character to your website.<br />
<br />

A lot of web pages will find an SEO sitemap useful in improving their performance. SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization”, the process that aims to create or revise Internet sites so that it can be better found by search engines. The objective of SEO campaigns is to have websites appear in the top listing or first results page of search engines.<br />
<br />
Internet search engines, such as Google and A9, maintain a very large database of Web pages and available files. To do this, they devise a program called a web crawler, or spider. This software automatically and continuously surfs and hunts content in the Web. Pages that the spider finds are retrieved and indexed according to text content, giving more weight to titles and paragraph headers. Spiders never stop navigating the web from page to page, to index the relevant content of the Internet. Besides looking at the text of titles and headers, some programs are able to identify default tags and keep a library of these page keywords or key phrases in the index.<br />
<br />
When a user connects to the Internet types a query, which is automatically interpreted as keywords, the search engine scans the saved index and creates a list of web pages that is most appropriate to what the user is searching for. <br />
<br />
SEO will use all the combined techniques of keyword analysis, smart code, good content literature, link popularity study and website organization to place the subject web page as high as possible in the list of search results in search engines. Web pages displayed on the top of results pages are assumed to get the most attention, and therefore, opportunity for earnings for web businesses and pages with sponsor links.<br />
<br />
Search engines usually return a list of results ranking pages according to the number of Internet sites linked to them. Results can be classified as organic, or sponsored links. Sponsored links are shown prominently because their creators or agents paid the search engine. Sponsored links are the main source of income of search engines. “Organic” search results are the lists of actual results from the engines index and are directly related to the keyword typed in the request.<br />
One of the more effective techniques of SEO is the creation of a well-organized site map in a website. Since the site’s main page and other content are directly linked to a site map, spiders can more easily move through the website, identify the key words of the content, and index these for a search engine. This is where the SEO sitemap helps the website creator or administrator.<br />
<br />
Site maps are usually pages filled with links. These are shown as tables or lists, although lists are generally more effective. Writing code for SEO sitemaps is very easy and simple to format and maintain. These are ideally basic HTML pages with default tags, logical titles and keywords scattered in the Meta description. Introduction areas can contain more of the keywords. The site should have a main heading for every directory.<br />
<br />
A simple list layout helps reduce unnecessary tags that might “hide” your keywords. Some spiders give more weight to the following, than text in the normal body of the webpage: heading text, content within link elements, text nearer the top of the page and the text written for a link. Therefore, writing the keywords and links in these areas could somehow move up the web page’s ranking. This goes for SEO sitemaps as well.<br />
<br />
Web sites should be designed consistently, so navigation models should follow the flow of the site map. Therefore, the first section in the site map should be the first link in the navigation bar. <br />
<br />
In an SEO Sitemap, and most pages, the headings contain title attributes where more key phrases in the site map can be added. Keywords are generally well chosen and written in the body of a webpage. However, in an SEO site map with little text, key words should be added as much as possible. As much as possible, web links should follow web page titles, and must undergo SEO during coding. Care must be exercised not to cram the page with keywords and links, or the page will be interpreted as blatant spamming and not receive any traffic at all.<br />
<br />
There is no way to guarantee that a website will be shown in the topmost ranking of "organic" search results for an extended period of time. However, smart and responsible SEO sitemap techniques can be used to place the website high up in the search position. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the SEO Sitemap and search results would ensure that a website is kept near the top ranking and receiving lots of web user traffic.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-39115223405493622262017-02-10T01:25:00.000-08:002017-02-10T01:27:57.162-08:00Mapping Your Way to a Good HTML Site Map<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Why are site maps important?<br />

The specific purpose you should consider in having a site map is to make it easier for search engine robots to ‘crawl’ in your web site. Pages are located by search engines through ‘crawling.’ It is a process that goes through the index of a page, following the links and adding the pages to the database.<br />
<br />
The problem would come in when search engines fail to locate the page because links are not that accessible. It is the site map that will address this dilemma. Search engines will be given access to the different links in your web site simply by following the site map in your home page.<br />

A website refers to a compilation of Web pages that can be typically accessed through a software package, commonly known as a Web browser (one example is the HTTP on the Internet). These pages, which are essentially documents that are in the HTML or XHTML format (HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language), are accessed from a 'common root URL' - or the website's homepage (as most people know it). From this homepage, the visitor/Internet user can browse or look through the entire website either with the use of the hyperlinks or the URLs of the different web pages.<br />
<br />
Viewed on computers and other devices that are capable of connecting with the Internet (such as PDAs and cellular phones), websites can be grouped into numerous types, depending on their use or the services that they offer. Some of them include the following:<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Archive site - maintains and protects electronic contents that are valuable to the point of extinction.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Business site - promotes a business or a service.<br />

<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Information site - contains data or content that have the sole purpose of informing visitors (not for commercial purposes).<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>News site - dispenses or distributes news and commentaries (similar to an information site).<br />
<br />

<br />
Yahoo! is perhaps the most famous example of a very large website. The most popular and widely-used website, Yahoo! is a mixture of the different types of sites - it is a directory site and a search engine site, among others.<br />
<br />
Because of the enormous (and diverse) amount of information that it contains, the Yahoo! site map is an extremely useful feature in the Yahoo! website.<br />
<br />
A site map is a web page that lists the entire pages on a web site. Organized in a hierarchical fashion, site maps can be in textual or visual form (a diagram or an image).<br />
<br />
The Yahoo! site map serves as a blueprint for the Yahoo! website. Similar to a book's Table of Contents, the Yahoo! sitemap makes it easier for visitors or users to find specific information or pages on the Yahoo! web site without having to browse many pages, because the site map gives an overview or a visual outline of the Yahoo! web site, with each location provided with active links to enable the user to directly move to a specific location.<br />
<br />
In addition, the Yahoo! site map allows web developers to put out links from across their sites, making it easier for search engine robots (or engine spiders) to find these pages.<br />
<br />
Because the Yahoo! site map improves the search engine optimization of a site, this feature can be considered a valuable tool for online marketers, whose aim is to stimulate and direct traffic to their web sites.<br />
<br />
Note, however, that the Yahoo! site map can only give you the 'basics'. Because it is important for web marketers to 'rank high' on main search engines, an effective web marketing strategy that promotes your web site is also very much needed. Listed below are some search engine strategies to consider:<br />
<br />
1. Write a descriptive page title at the top of your webpage that avoids 'filler' words like "the" or "and".<br />
<br />
2. Incorporate descriptive keywords on your home page, along with your business name. This is called "keyword prominence".<br />
<br />
3. Include a Description Meta Tag at the top of the web page. This refers to the sentences (1 or 2 lines, with a maximum of around 255 characters) that describe the content of your web page.<br />
<br />
These are just some of the many techniques that you can employ to get more users to visit your website. The important thing is to focus on keywords - and let Yahoo! site map do the rest.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-69890823447550178962017-02-09T01:22:00.000-08:002017-02-10T01:27:08.758-08:00Site Making Using Google<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Businesses that want to sell something in the market need 2 things. The first is the product to be sold which has to be made then distributed to places like the grocery, the mall or the supermarket. The second is marketing which is the vehicle to carry that message across to the consumer so that people are aware of its existence then it is purchased.<br />
<br />
The age of the internet has given people the opportunity to make money via the web. There are a lot of websites that offer a person the chance to be seen easily and quickly and one of the best right now is using site maps created by Google.<br />
<br />
The benefits of using Google are the following;<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It helps people find ones web page better than other search engines because of better crawl coverage.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>People will be able to search on certain keywords that the person put in place which will directly lead searchers to ones website.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It allows the person to provide specific information to Google about the web page such as the last time it was modified or how often it is changed.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Using Google straight will allow ones web page to be seen quickly which is a lot better than other computer companies who promise to do the same thing but can’t deliver in the end.<br />
<br />
Now that the benefits have been mentioned, it is now time to go through the step by step process to make a Google site map.<br />
<br />
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The first thing that needs to be done is to do the proper research. The service or product has to fill a need that the customers want right now. It should provide a solution of some kind that will make that will improve the quality of life either at home or at work.<br />
<br />
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Next, one should focus on the product or service that is being offered to the customer must be sold at a decent price. Sometimes, the product one makes is already available in the market. To be competitive, one must figure out a way to convince people as to why this product is better than the other leading brands available. What features does it have that the competitor doesn’t? What makes it unique which is not only about the product on hand but the service that this can give as well?<br />
<br />
Just like a normal business where business is done on the phone or in a store, one must acquire the right equipment and machines for the job. These could be merchandise that is either physical or electronic and an online ordering system.<br />
<br />
To be successful, one should be sure that the goods that a customer will order can be delivered on time. If there are any problems, a customer support staff or system should be ready to cater to that. <br />
<br />
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If the business is done with a group of people or a single proprietorship, it is best to brainstorm for the best domain name for the business. It should be catchy and will easily be remembered by people. Given that there are probably other people who have been in the business longer and that it is possible that the domain name has already been taken, it is best to think of several names in case it can no longer be used.<br />
<br />
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>When a domain name has been selected, one should enter the URL of the website to be created. Google site maker will then crawl the site and create a list of all the links it can find.<br />
<br />
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Next, one should fix the control settings. Doing this will determine how frequent the contents of the site changes which will let Google know how often it should be crawled.<br />
<br />
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If there are certain URL’s that a person does not wish to be included in ones site, Google can be instructed to bypass it so that it will not be crawled and posted on ones site map. One can select what types of files to be bypassed whether these are .zip or .exe files.<br />
<br />
7.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Also, one has the option of adding the sites FTP information since Google can automatically upload the site map for the person.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-40855720239925737142017-02-08T02:11:00.005-08:002017-02-08T02:11:56.230-08:00Benefits of a generator sitemap<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Generator sitemap programs can be downloaded from various sources on the Internet. Generator sitemap programs have two fundamental purposes. Generator sitemap programs help surfers navigate a site effectively. At the same time, a generator sitemap program encourages search engine spiders. Google offers one of the most popular generator sitemap programs ever to hit the Internet.<br />
<br />
The generator sitemap of google makes it possible for a website to get listed and get updated by the google search engine. Setting up the generator sitemap helps speed up the addition of the web pages of a site to the google listing. The generator sitemap also makes it easier for a site to get noticed by online surfers. In addition, any changes made to a website that has a generator sitemap is immediately picked up by google. The generator sitemap also helps keep online information fresh and up-to-date for users.<br />
<br />
Visibility is key to generator sitemap<br />
<br />
Visibility is a major concern when using a generator sitemap. A website that is completely indexed has better chances of getting top search engine placement in page results. Many of the popular browsers used by searchers and that support java recognize generator sitemap programs. These include firefox and Internet explorer. <br />
<br />
An online consumer that searches for a specific content on the web can immediately be directed to any one of the web pages of a particular site. The generator sitemap makes it easier for a search engine to provide accurate results from web pages they are familiar with.<br />
<br />
Who can benefit from a generator sitemap?<br />
<br />
A generator sitemap is highly recommended for websites that often do repeated modification of their web pages. A generator sitemap can be used for websites of any size, regardless of the number of web pages a site may contain.<br />
<br />
Although using a generator sitemap is not a guarantee of increased site rankings, it does however provide a website a better opportunity of getting listed on a search engine.<br />
<br />
Working with a generator sitemap<br />
<br />
Most of the available generator sitemap programs available on the web make use of extensible markup language or XML. Similar to hypertext markup language or HTML, XML is used widely in blogs and syndicated feeds on the Internet. Each line of a XML code for a generator sitemap has a specific purpose.<br />
<br />
The location or <.loc> identifies the name of the web page of a website. The line <.lastmod> indicates when the web page was last modified. The format for <.lastmod> can either be dd.mm.yyyy, dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm, dd/mm/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm. Shortcuts can also be used to simply the assignment of dates to the cell.<br />
<br />
<.changefreq> advises the search engine of a specific time frame when the web page is regularly updated. This can either be done on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. For web pages that are not updated, the value 'never' is used. <.priority> indicates the level of priority that a search engine should give a particular web page of a website. These levels range from 0.0 for least priority to 1.0 for high priority.<br />
<br />
Creating a dynamic generator sitemap<br />
<br />
Creating a dynamic generator sitemap is useful for websites containing various web pages. The google search engine makes it easy for users to adapt their google sitemap with the help of a python script.<br />
<br />
The python script generates a sitemap using sitemap protocol. This creates a sitemap from either access logs, URL lists or from web server directories.<br />
<br />
Tips for using a generator sitemap from google<br />
<br />
As one of more popular search engines offering a generator sitemap for websites on the Internet, google offers a few tips for its loyal users. Using the google sitemap url encoder/decoder is helpful for submitting sitemaps to google. For websites that have numerous web pages, creating a sitemap can be a tremendous task. For this situation it is best to click on the column title in order to make it easier for a URL list to get sorted.<br />
<br />
The google generator sitemap allows users to save their settings after creating a sitemap. Users can use these saved settings as a guideline for succeeding generator sitemap updates. The generator sitemap also recognizes the use of robots.txt files.<br />
<br />
Using a generator sitemap is a positive move in getting top ranking on the Internet's top search engines as well as high visibility among online users.

Marketing in a traditional sense has always been done by putting an ad either in the newspaper, the radio and the television.<br />
<br />
Being in the digital age, efforts done by marketing to get the message across is not that different. It has just become a little more high tech which continues to help drive sales.<br />
<br />
Businesses that want to sell something in the market need 2 things. The first is the product to be sold which later on will be distributed. The second is marketing which is the vehicle that is used to carry that message across to the consumer so that people are aware of its existence then it is purchased.<br />
<br />
One way of the fastest ways of doing marketing today is building a website. Should one decide to shift and decide to do this, here are some tips one needs to know to get started.<br />
<br />
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The first thing to do is to determine what the person wants to do. The product has to fill a need that the customers want right now. It should provide a solution of some kind that will make that will improve the quality of life either at home or at work.<br />
<br />
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The next is to do the proper research. If the business is done with a group of people or a single proprietorship, it is best to brainstorm for the best domain name for the business. It should be catchy and will easily be remembered by people. Given that there are probably other people who have been in the business longer and that it is possible that the domain name has already been taken, it is best to think of several names in case it can no longer be used.<br />
<br />
There are sites in the web that have search engines to look for a specific subject and using popular keywords for ones website will easily help people find it. These sites also allow one to make a site map which can be downloaded in minutes for a small fee. <br />
<br />
Another good example is the various email sites and by doing a tie-up with these companies, one can get exposure as well as free service since people who do not have an account can also sign up and be an active member.<br />
<br />
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A product of good quality should be sold at a decent price. Sometimes, the product one makes is already available in the market. To be competitive, one must figure out a way to convince people as to why this product is better than the other leading brands available. What features does it have that the competitor doesn’t? What makes it unique which is not only about the product on hand but the service that this can give as well?<br />
<br />
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Just like having a normal business, one must acquire the right equipment and machines for the job. These could be merchandise that is either physical or electronic and an online ordering system.<br />
<br />
To be successful, one should be sure that the goods that a customer will order can be delivered on time. If there are any problems, a customer support staff or system should be ready to cater to that. <br />
<br />
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It takes money to make more money so one should be careful with what needs to be spent. By putting in tight controls in terms of expenditures and keeping track of the current balance while maintaining the same level of quality saves money which can be used for other things.<br />
<br />
To avoid falling in this predicament, the first thing one must do is manage the expenses. It is always good to carry a notebook around to log whatever expenses have been made or have a logbook to keep track how much balance is left. That way, a person can stay within a budget on a monthly basis.<br />
<br />
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>With everything in place, it is now time to promote the site. One can email to friends about the site and what it offers then this too will also be forwarded and advertised to others. Another is showcasing ones website in E-zines or electronic magazines to get more customer traffic.<br />
<br />
Any business big or small must have the right resources available to get the message across to the people and building a web site or a site map takes time. One can do it alone if that person knows how to do it, get professional help or simply start from the basics and learn it from the ground up.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597988119088726461.post-17663929862152583032017-02-07T06:06:00.000-08:002017-02-07T06:06:05.878-08:00THE ADVANTAGES OF "RSS WEBSITES"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

RSS - or what is now known as "Really Simple Syndication" - is a file format that is incorporated by Internet users in their websites to allow for 'web syndication', making their web content available in a format that can be universally understood by other people.<br />
<br />
In essence, RSS is a 'mini database' that contains headlines and descriptions (a summary or a line or two of the full article) of your web content, including hyperlinks that enable users to link back to the full article of their choice.<br />
<br />
RSS websites - that is, websites that contain RSS 'feeds' (articles or postings) - typically have colorful graphics to indicate to users that the specific web content is available through RSS feeds. These graphics are usually depicted by orange rectangles that are usually marked with 'RSS' or 'XML'.<br />
<br />
With its increased popularity, RSS is now being adopted and used by more website owners or publishers. Today, numerous resources are now available that aid Internet surfers (and even beginners as well) on how to set up and use RSS.<br />
<br />
Setting up RSS feeds and adding them to your website can be a simple process that does not involve a lot of time or any money. Listed below are some simple and basic steps that you might want to follow:<br />
<br />
1. Have your web content and/or news in an RSS feed format, such as XML (appropriate and 'ready-made' feeds are also available from other sources).<br />
<br />
2. Click the orange graphic - this is the RSS feed icon. Take note of the URL of the RSS feed; this will be displayed in the address bar (for Internet Explorer).<br />
<br />
3. Input the feed URL on your RSS feed creation program.<br />
<br />
4. Click on the "Generate Feed" button. This will generate the RSS code for your web content.<br />
<br />
5. Enter the RSS code in the appropriate place on your own website.<br />
<br />
Having created an RSS feed for your website, next comes the task of publishing your web content and news and having them displayed on other sites and headline viewers. This is made possible with the use of RSS readers or aggregators.<br />
<br />
RSS readers or news aggregators are used to view particular web contents. RSS readers contain the collection of 'feeds' or RSS files from content providers, and they are generally classified into 3 types:<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Desktop RSS readers - also known as standalone desktop application, they generally 'run' in the background and are similar to an e-mail client, collecting the feeds and refreshing items automatically as they are updated.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Web-based aggregators - these are online services that enable users to personalize web pages, refreshing them each time the page is accessed or each time a person logs in to the service.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Plug-in aggregators/readers - these make use of either web browsers or e-mail clients, which allow users to view RSS feeds while inside an existing program.<br />
<br />
Having an RSS-enabled website provides Internet users (especially those who are website owners) with the following benefits:<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allows users to generate up-to-date news and postings, as information and content in the RSS readers or aggregators are automatically updated each time the RSS feed is 'refreshed'.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Allows users to have control over the information that they wish to view or receive, as they can remove a feed of their choosing any time they want to.<br />
<br />
Aside from these benefits, RSS websites are also useful for people who conduct their business in the Internet, particularly in Internet or Online Marketing. RSS can be an effective marketing tool for your website, especially in the following fields:<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>E-mail marketing and publishing<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Search engine marketing and optimization<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Business blogging<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Internet advertising<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Digital public relations<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Branding and e-commerce<br />
<br />
In addition, RSS can 'power' your website, providing you with the following:<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Valuable, updated, and relevant resources for site visitors and potential clients - RSS is ideal for websites that contain (and syndicate) a lot of information that has to be changed or updated regularly.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Search engine optimization for the website.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Increased traffic for the website - your website can 'harvest' and display information from other sites, driving more traffic to your own website.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A wide selection of 'channels' for content distribution, such as PDA's, cellular phones, voice mails, and email ticklers.<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A reliable way to have your web content delivered to Internet users and potential clients - RSS ensures that your site is viewed by the people who are interested in them, without having them blocked and 'cleaned' by ISPs or Spam filters.<br />
<br />
These are just some of the advantages that RSS can give your website (and your business). The possibilities are endless, as more and more comes up almost everyday. Do not be left behind - take the advantage of the marketing and publishing power of RSS.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604043809481889802noreply@blogger.com
