			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even in times where businesses are finding it hard to cope, people wonder why they need a website. Some excuses included &#8220;we don&#8217;t have a business&#8221; etc&#8230; Many people wonder why they need a website. Well here are 5 reasons why!! </p>
<p>1. Promote Your Products<br />
A website allows you to showcase you products and services to your target market. You can talk about your benefits, inform your customers who you are, show some testimonials of happy customers that have used your product or service. </p>
<p>2. Promote Your Organization<br />
People buy from people. People support organizations and causes that they believe in. A website is a fantastic tool to promote an organization and build trust &#8211; that is, if you do it right&#8230; A well-developed website can convey trust and credibility, making people to buy from you, or support you.</p>
<p>3. Promote Yourself<br />
Whether you are a professional looking for a job, or an expert in your industry: you can show that to the whole world by having a comprehensive website. The use of an associated email address also increases perceived professionalism: a letter from someone at me-the-expert.com will certainly open more doors than an email from a hotmail account.</p>
<p>4. Promote Your Ideas<br />
Political campaigns are now all over the web. A website can be a powerful way to promote your ideas, and build a following of like-minded people. Or you can just write online journals (&#8220;blogs&#8221;) to ventilate some of your thoughts and concerns.</p>
<p>5. Sell Your Organization<br />
Whether &#8220;selling your organization&#8221; is a figure of speech (to convince people) or a true selling effort, a website can be considered a very valuable asset to your organization.</p>

<p>When thinking about developing your website  and how you can obtain revenue and business out of it, functions can help you obtain that objective. If you have spent any time online, you will know that the number of functions on a website are endless. Some are interesting and fun, however they may add little or no benefit to acheiving your objective. Some functions can tend to confuse your target audience and use too many resources, both in terms of creating them and maintaining them .</p>
<p>Below are some functions and features that you might find useful when thinking about how to acheive the best out of your website.</p>
<ul>
<li>User forum: Where people can help people, share ideas, and receive support from your business. While this particular function requires time to moderate and maintain, this can be an effective way to engage clients and generate some traffic on your website.</li>
<li>Social networking tools: Facebook, twitter, youtube, myspace, vimeo&#8230;.the list is endless. If you use any of these tools effectively, you can reach thousands of new projects and  keep in touch with existing clients.</li>
<li>Blog: an effective but sometimes time consuming way of finding new clients and interacting with current ones. A well written blog is a great way to build site traffic and share your knowledge of your business/trade/services.</li>
<li>Newsletter signups: in a similar fashion to blogging, it is a great way to  build client loyalty, but it can take significant time to create valuable content and execute campaigns. Content from your blog can be used in your email. Some amazing tools for building newsletters are Eazymail ( which allows you to manage your customers and have a customised newsletter ) or constant contact.</li>
<li>Media Gallery: A picture is worth a thousand words and the same goes for displaying your work on your website. This helps your target audience get a feel for your product.</li>
<li>About Us: We humans are a curious breed. Tell  your visitors about you. Don&#8217;t just have a name, but include a picture and a brief description of who you are. Start a relationship with visitors from the moment they go onto your website.</li>
<li>Free Stuff: Everyone likes free stuff, whether it be a discount, voucher, merchandise, newsletter&#8230;the list is endless.</li>
</ul>
<p>These site functions are great, but there is a note of caution. Be sure to consider your site design, as you choose which ones to use. It&#8217;s important that each function will contribute to your specific site objectives. Often it&#8217;s best to begin basically and add function slowly, seeing which ones work and which ones simply consume time and money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After dealing with many many domain hosting companies and many many support types, I&#8217;ve come to realise that there are several necessary elements when choosing and working with a domain registrar.</p>
<p>Whether you are working with the complex issues of DNS, SMTP erros, or confusing address troubles.</p>
<p>No matter how much you prepare, issues inevitable occur. People need to have a good reliable domain registrar that offers the tools, services and features to help you fix the problems.</p>
<p>So here are a few tips and elements to insist and consider when choosing a domain registrar</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Validity: </strong>No matter how much money some domain registrars might save. Web and e-mail hosting is something where corners shouldn&#8217;t be cut. Make sure that you work with reputable and legitimate domain registrars</li>
<li><strong>Knowledgable technical support:</strong> You would not believe the amount of domain hosting companies that I&#8217;ve contacted that know less than I do about their systems. You need to know that the registrar&#8217;s customer service department is capable and responsive.  Review their support policy. Some offer technical chat as well as live technical support.</li>
<li><strong>Intelligent DNS configuration utilities: </strong>The frustration that comes with trying to make sense of confusing DNS configuration tools can quickly prove overwhelming, particularly when email service or website access is down. Avoid selecting a registrar whose DNS tools prove difficult to access or understand or that are error-ridden</li>
<li><strong>Web Hosting: </strong>Most if not all companies need a web presence. Just as with email hosting, companies should look for a domain registrar that also offers competitive web hosting services. For a reasonable price, companies can keep such web related traffic off their main production servers.</li>
<li><strong>Email Hosting: </strong>Not all small business want to maintain and adminster their own servers. In such cases it is much easier to allow the domain registrar to maintain email services.</li>
<li><strong>Site Building Tools: </strong>The site building tools provided by most leading domain registrars may not be able to create complex websites that set new and creative design trends, but that&#8217;s not usually the goals of the business.</li>
<li><strong>Easily navigated: </strong>Look for a domain registrar whose website is well organised. Choosing something that is not well organised will only upset you, your time management and money. Browse the website to confirm that it is easily navigable.</li>
<li><strong>Competitive Pricing: </strong>Competition among registrars is brutal. Be sure to review the pricing policies of the registrar before choosing. You browse for the best car, you browse for the best house. Web domain is just as important for your business. Make sure you pay attention to any hidden fees that might be on the website such as domain forwarding and email services. While price shouldn&#8217;t be the main factor when choosing the registrar, it becomes a buyers market.</li>
</ol>
<p>So the conclusion? Caveat Emptor, let the buyer beware.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>1. Title</h3>
<p>Whether you are planning to optimise your website now or later, the minimum you need toknow is what are the keywords that you want to use and to include them in your content.</p>
<p>The general rule of thumb is that the closer to the front of the title your keywords are, the better it is. The key of keywords is that they appear in the title</p>
<p>When people search for something they are going to want to see the words and language that they used to be refelected back to them in the results.</p>
<p>You should try and keep the length of your title under 70 characters for search purposes. This will ensure that the full title is visible in a search result.</p>
<h3>2. Meta Description</h3>
<p>SEO is not just about the ranking. It&#8217;s also about the presentation of your content in a search engine. The meta description of your content is the brief &#8220;snippet&#8221; copy for the search result below the title. This can often be a major infulence whether or not you get the click</p>
<p>Try and keep the meta description under 160 characters so the full description is visible in the search result</p>
<h3>3. Content</h3>
<p>Different, Unique and frequently updated content can make search engines very happy. For SEO, your content should be tightly on-topic and centered ont he subject matter of the desired keyword phrases.</p>
<p>Its accepted that a very brief content may have a harder time ranking over a page with more substantial content. So you&#8217;ll want to have a content body length of at least 300 words.</p>
<p>If you want to be a bit more detailed and are very very serious about your keywords and SEO, it might aslo help to bold the first occurence of a keyword or include in in a bulleted list.</p>
<h3>4. Keyword Frequency</h3>
<p>Keyword <em>frequency</em> is the number of times your targeted keywords appear on the page. Keyword <em>density</em> is the ratio of those keywords to the rest of the words on the page.</p>
<p>It’s generally accepted that keyword frequency impacts ranking . Keyword density, as some sort of “golden” ratio, likely does not. But the only way to make sense of an appropriate frequency is via the ratio of those keywords to the rest of the content, so density is still a metric you need.</p>
<p>In other words, the only way to tell if your repetition of keywords is super or spammy is to measure that frequency against the overall length of the content</p>
<p>You don’t need to mindlessly repeat keywords to optimize. In fact, if you do, you’re likely to achieve the opposite result.</p>
<h3>5. Page Links</h3>
<p>Linking is the fundamental basis of the web. Search engines want to know you’re sufficiently “connected” with other pages and content, so linking out to other pages matters when it comes to search engine optimization.</p>
<p>Here are some “rules of thumb” for linking based on generally accepted best practices:</p>
<ul>
<li>Link to relevant content fairly early in the body copy</li>
<li>Link to relevant pages approximately every 120 words of content</li>
<li>Link to relevant <em>interior</em> pages of your site or other sites</li>
<li>Link with naturally relevant anchor text</li>
</ul>
<p>Again, these are guidelines related to current best practices. Don’t get hung up on rules; focus on the intent behind what search engines are looking for – quality search results for <em>people</em>.</p>
<h3>Yes, there’s other stuff . . .</h3>
<p>There are other elements as well, such as URL structure and keywords, keywords in image alt files, tags and categories, and various other methods of improving your SEO. If you focus on the five areas above, however, you’re covering the vital elements of effective on-page optimization.</p>
<p>What would you add as a vital on-page optimization element? Let us know in the comments.</p>
