How To Please Your Website VisitorsSo which is more important, to please the visitors or the search engine spiders? The unequivocal answer is to please the visitors. What good is a site that attracts spiders but not actual people? And what good is a site that only attracts some visitors but not search engine spiders? |

How to reduce risk when you start up online'Fail fast and fail cheap' is a piece of advice that's embedded in Internet culture. It's also a piece of advice that many Internet entrepreneurs and established businesses fail to fully understand. Let's strip away that idea of failing, for a moment. Let's modify it to 'launch fast and cheap'. Many small businesses and start-ups soon get carried away with launching and lose sight of how they should be spending their budget. |

International Brand Naming And How Words Can Hurt YouBad products names, bad brand names and even bad company titles, are continuously spawned and the headlong drive towards globalization has given unwelcome publicity to all of them. There are many instances of where things have gone awry, most of them too rude to mention in this article. |

Landing Page Usability: More Than Just The Curiosity FactorA landing page is the page that visitors first see after becoming curious enough to clíck on a link to your site. The link may be found on search engine results pages, within a specifically targeted email, on the site's navigation toolbar or within another website. |

Looking for a Text Editor?Essentially, there are two ways you can put web pages together. They can either be hand-coded, meaning that the writer/programmer writes out all the HTML code, JavaScript, etc. by hand, or generated, whereby a generator program of some sort is used, such as Namo, Dreamweaver or FrontPage. The latter, by the way, also includes all the "WYSIWYG" (What You See Is What You Get) editors like Microsoft Word or Publisher along with the various "wizard" type generators that generate a finished page based on a series of questions (these are often "features" buried in other programs, though they can also be stand-along programs.) |

Online Business EthicsVery simple: Be a source of integrity. Don't be phony, people will know and not come to visit your site again. Even worse, they will post a bad review somewhere on the web and others will not even come to see for themselves. If you don't know about something, don't pretend that you do. Respect your customers, or prospective customers, and offer them something of value. Give good information that will draw your customers' attention and this will help to build trust. It also gives them a reason to stay or come back again for more. Follow-up with your customers, but don't be a pest. Basically, don't spam, don't steal, and don't lie. |

Planning Your PublicityIf you want to find out what magazine lead times are, call their advertising department and get a copy of their media kit. This will not only tell you when advertising deadlines are (signaling your submission cut-off) but it will also show you what stories to pitch when. Generally magazines will try and coordinate advertising to coincide with their themes, so if you have a story about the benefits of yoga, you might want to dig through the advertising calendar and see if they're planning to address it in a future issue. |

Rank High for Your Keywords with Diverse Anchor TextsIn the world of search engine optimization, we all know the value of back-links, these can be better defined as votes of trust which point back to our website. There are several types of links and they are ranked differently by the search engines, a few are: one-way links, reciprocal links, three-way links, etc. |
