Choosing a Web Hosting: How Long Have You Been Here?

I use different hosting plans, often from different companies, for several of my sites. Different sites just have different requirements and needs so I decided the best way to go is to get individual hosting plan for each of them. Of course, some of my sites are using the same hosting company although they are on different hosting plan. Whenever I’m on the lookout for cheap web hosting and I find a new company that offers fantastic hosting plan at an amazing price, I ask one thing to their sales team: how long have you been here?

 

Although it may not say everything, knowing how long the web hosting company you are looking into has been operating may help you get a clearer picture just how good they are. If you are dealing with a web hosting service provider who has been providing their clients with valuable services for 5 years, or even more, with literally thousands of domain using their services and available hosting plans, you would know instantly that you are dealing with a reliable service provider that you can count on. It will make your search for cheap web hosting a lot easier; you will get the best services at affordable prices.

Link building 2010 – is this going to be any different?

Most people tend to think SEO as too complicated.You know,the only thing that matters in ranking well on google is gaining quality inbound links and nothing else.And this becomes dead simple if you keep improving your site rather than thinking about hundreds of SERP factors.Some web masters keep thinking about the page rank rather than concentrating on the SERP positions and the number of leads they are going to get.Many think whether to get a .net or .com rather than thinking about the UI or the sales Copy of their site.

 

So is link building 2010 any different?

 

Not at all.The link building is not going to change at all.Most people tend to confuse themselves by saying that google changes their algorithms too often.This is wrong.Changes are not going to be done now and then but instead what you say being done quite often is the introduction of new filters.Many think this as a change in algorithm.

 

So keep building your site.concentrate on the quality of  your posts.think everyday about writing a link bait post,or generate buzz in your site so as to gain links.These are completely whitehat techniques of link building.if you are not sure of doing all these things yourselves,you can get the help of link building service.

 

Remember that the sandbox can be very discouraging,especially if you are new to this whole thing.Just make sure to hang on when those terrible things happen.Keep building quality content and your blog traffic will skyrocket automatically.

Who is failure – another Google Bomb

Danny sullivan has reported another Google Bomb and this time,Obama is the target.The phrase for which the bomb has been done is “who is failure”.Here is a screenshot [iam taking a snap since this might not be available soon if google takes action,like it has done in the past]:

 

Revenue of about.com web site – what do you think it would be?

I have always been impressed by the quality and the amount of content available in sites like about.com.Recently,i came across an article in RWW about mega-content sites.It had said that answers.com makes about at least 1.5 million every month [the data is a little different and i do not remember exactly;you can refer the article for exact figures].So that made me think about the revenue of about.com.What do you think would be the revenue of about.com?I am very sure that it is in the range of millions of dollars each month.But the exact figures?Nobody knows in fact.

 

What does google have to say about this?

 

So i turned to google for help and this is the best information i have got regarding my quest to finding revenue of about.com:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=767877

 

Here is the key point found in this article:

About.com had revenues of about $2.2 million a month for the first
half of 2005.  By 2006, revenues had almost tripled, to almost $6.4
million.  Who knows what it is at present?

The fact that the revenue of about is greater that of the answers.com is of no surprise to me.I am very sure you are not surprised either.
