    How To Turn Ideas For Websites Into Reality?

    First you need a host. Get a shared host. It's cheap and it's easy to set up. Then buy a domain name. After that, install Wordpress. Install The Guardian News Service plugin. There are literally thousands of professionally-written articles which you can publish. For free. Choose the ones related...

    Cheapest / Most Convenient Way To Get More Traffic

    Here's an idea you can try. Sign up for HootSuite Pro. It's 10usd per month but you get the first month free. And you can cancel before the month is up. Then create csv files. There's a sample on their site to help you. Be creative with your posts and schedule them properly. I have tried it and...

    Purchasing Domain Names: Namecheap or GoDaddy?

    Say, mate, where is this company offering dot coms for 3usd? Is it only available to Australian citizens? Do they ask for some kind of documentary proof of citizenship before selling?

    Wordpress or Joomla?

    I vote that you stay with Wordpress. I haven't tried Joomla but I have tried Drupal which is even more advanced than Joomla. I was trying to develop a site for processing articles for sale. After a few months, I just popped back to Wordpress to have a look. Lo! I found that all the things I...

    Blogging on Weebly

    Rate Weebly higher than Blogspot? That's an intriguing conclusion. So what yardstick do you use to rate Weebly higher than Blogspot? Does Weebly have a more commanding presence than Blogspot? I think not. Would be good if you can share your reasons.

    Google+ commenting for Blogger

    Maybe it's just me but I am not too comfortable with anonymous commenters. My basic reaction is, why be anonymous? Is there any real reason to be anonymous if the comment is made in good faith and contains useful information?

    Hundreds of Websites?

    If you have unique content on all the sites, then, as far as I know, you can have a million sites, and Google wouldn't punish you for your effort. In fact, if all your sites carry a common brandname like, say, brandnameforum.com, brandnameshop.com, brandnametech.com, etc, you might even get a...

    Should I add a forum to my Wordpress blog?

    I have a suggestion for you. Try installing the bbPress plugin for Wordpress. When I looked at it a couple of years back, it was a barebone forum. Now it has developed a lot and it has nearly all the features of a dedicated forum software. The advantage of using bbPress with Wordpress is that...

    Is blog commenting for SEO spam?

    Blog commenting is not spam. Blog commenting for SEO is not spam either. Posting irrelevant comments is spam. Posting inconsequential comments is spam. Posting incomprehensible comments is spam.

    best off page tips-

    I think the first thing you should worry about is not your ranking. You should be more concerned about the content on your site. Ask yourself honestly whether your own site has the kind of content that would make you come back again. If you, the site owner, is not excited by your own site's...

    Gifts for Kids

    I think there is an over emphasis on giving toys to kids. Yes, kids love toys. However, what I see are toys which do not promote any kind of creativity in kids. I see toys which are popular because of tv shows. I see toys which kids get bored with after just a few days. Then they want new toys...

    Parasiting

    Doesn't sound like parasiting is a desirable activity. So doesn't Google have anything to say about this? I mean parasiting does not present a true picture of a site's status, does it?

    Domain Authority

    Just curious. How useful or relevant is domain authority in getting traffic to a site? Since age is one of the factors, does this mean that an aged domain has actual value? Or is it just an illusory value?

    What is Latent Semantic Analysis (LSI Indexing)?

    Latent Semantic Analysis aka LSI is not the same as Latent Semantic Analysis aka LSA. I think the OP made a slight mistake there in his title. He should have made the title "What is Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)?" The word 'indexing' after LSI is redundant because LSI already is Latent Semantic...

    What is Latent Semantic Analysis (LSI Indexing)?

    Latent Semantic Analysis aka LSA is not the same thing as Latent Semantic Indexing aka LSI. LSA is the basis for LSI. It is the result of LSA that leads to LSI. LSA is not about replacing keywords with synonyms either. Just replacing keywords with synonyms doesn't make LSA show better results...

    newbiee...silly question..about bloggingg

    Actually I know of some people who never bothered to go under the hood and are very happy just using the free Wordpress or Blogger platform. If you are not inclined at all to play with tweaks under the hood, I heard that Blogger is the better choice because you can even set it to your own domain...

    Making Use of Old Broken Laptops

    You have a choice of towers, from mini to medium to full. I suggest, since you are talking about small laptop drives, that you just get the mini tower. You will need some adapters to connect to the drives and a good power supply to keep things running. Also you will need to do some modifications...

    How Much Success Have You Had With Twitter for Marketing?

    Twitter works alright for me. Actually I have a better grasp of Twitter than I do of Facebook. Like I know that in Twitter it's common courtesy to follow back someone who follows you. Also when you have 500 followers, as in my case, new people will continue following you everyday. Then if you...

    Pinterest

    I don't really know. When Pinterest first came out, I joined. Pinned randomly. Built up a small collection of pictures and a small gathering of followers. Now I am not paying much attention to it but my account is still being visited.

    Social Media Network traffic - is it the most important form of traffic?

    This isn't always true. Not for me anyway. There are lots of people I interact with on Facebook who never felt the urge to visit my site. Not that I am blaming them. Just saying that being friends on Facebook doesn't mean that they must visit your site. Like what happened to someone I know of...
