A reliable web hosting company is crucial especially if you operate a business on the internet offering products for sale the require you to have e-commerce web hosting with shopping carts. Unless you have some mega store it is unlikely that you will need your own servers which could cost you several hundred dollars a month, but you do need e-commerce that is reliable and trustworthy that has a good reputation for uptime. When you are running an online business servers being down is the equivalent of having the doors locked in a brick and mortar business.

One of the great things about web hosting is that you have a myriad of choices ranging from low end shared hosting for less than $10 per month to having high end dedicated servers than run well over $300 per month. Whichever one you choose I still recommend you have someone else do the management of the servers for you unless you are a techno geek.

There are many web hosting companies that offer services with specific e-commerce hosting packages built just for small businesses. Knowing what company to choose is a more difficult decision than trying to find one, not just because of the number of choices of web hosting companies available but because the particular e-commerce web hosting needs vary between different companies. As I mentioned before, it is imperative that you take this aspect of putting your business online very seriously as it can make the difference in success or failure.

One of the key issues that you need to be concerned with when you are looking at e-commerce web hosting packages for your business is how much bandwidth you are allowed. Not having enough bandwidth can hurt your business tremendously especially if you get a good deal of traffic or you sell items that have large downloads as well. The bandwidth is shared by all who are on your server and all the visitors who are on it at any given time so don’t cut yourself short..

Another key issue to look for in e-commerce web hosting is a web hosting company with the fewest “hops” from the internet backbone, hops are basically each server or router that are between the user and the internet backbone, the best of course would be a hosting company that feeds directly from the internet backbone. You should also try to choose a company that has the latest state of the art web server hardware with the most up to date multiple processor servers to avoid any problems.

As mentioned previously reliability is a must as well as redundancy which means they should have more than one backbone provider in case something goes wrong. If you plan on having an online store or large catalogue disk space will definitely be an issue that you will want to address as well. The e-commerce web hosting company you choose should also provide the best security for the online transactions that you will be accepting which at this time is called SSL.

These are the basic e-commerce web hosting features you should have, you may require upgrades such as back end data integration or recurring payment options but those are things you can discuss with the host you choose.

Don’t Let Bad E-Commerce Web Hosting Cost You Business / Gregg Hall

There are many choices for web hosting companies available and for blogging there are many free choices offered as well. The question that comes to mind to me is, “Is free webhosting cheap?” What I mean by that is what is it going to cost me in terms of functionality and accessibility. Let’s take a look at some of the comparisons between free web hosting and paid web hosting.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last couple of years then you know that blogging has become a formidable force on the internet and has allowed many people to get an online presence that may otherwise have been unable to do so. Many of these people are making their living by blogging and some like Jason Calcanis have become wealthy from it. Jason built a network of blogs over about eighteen months and sold them to AOL for nearly $30 million! That’s a pretty good ROI. Anyway, I digress, back to our discussion on web hosting.

If you have decided that you want to operate a blog your next choice will probably be what blogging platform or software you want to use to accomplish you blogging. Relax, it’s easy. Most of the blogging software out there today is open source which means it’s, you guessed it, free! In this instance free is not a bad thing, I use Wordpress almost exclusively, it is free and has more options that I care to learn or use. There are other blogging software options available, but I won’t go into them here because this article is about web hosting.

As far as web hosting for your blog you can choose free web hosting or paid so let’s take a closer look at our choices. First off, you can choose Blogger which is owned by Google. Blogger is a good program especially for beginning bloggers because it is easy to use, it is web based, and the price is right. It’s free. With that said however, if your intention is to blog professionally and possibly run a large number of blogs with automated content then Blogger is not for you. I have seen Google shut down many blogs because they considered them to be spam. If you want control over your own destiny then you want to use paid web hosting and have your blogs on your own server, or at least a shared server.

Still in the realm of free web hosting you also have a fairly new option from Wordpress who now offers a free web hosting for Wordpress blogs at their .com site as opposed to the .org site where you get the software and plug ins. The problem is that like Google, they are very restrictive with what you can put on your blogs and how you update them.

Another big issue with free web hosting is that you will usually have to display advertising of some sort which “pays” for your web hosting. This is great for the web hosting companies because it gives them tons of virtual real estate out there with their name on it, not so great for you. If you are blogging professionally, and if you are trying to make money for it then you are blogging professionally, you do not want any distractions on your site that leads visitors away from your site unless you are being paid for it like you do when someone clicks on an Adsense ad or affiliate banner.

My recommendation is that you pay for your own hosting because it gives you a wealth of choices, much more storage space, and takes almost all restrictions off of you within reason. There are still some web hosting companies that will not allow you to host gambling or porno blogs but other than that you are pretty open. Paid web hosting is not that expensive. You can get an account that will host as many blogs as most people will want to deal with a few bucks a month. So for the cost of a domain name and your hosting you will probably be around $100 a year. That is a pretty cheap investment for something that enables you to plug into all the ways of earning money on the net.

How To Decide Between Free Web Hosting And Paid Web Hosting For Your Blog / Gregg Hall

If you have an online business
or maybe even several like I do, web hosting
can be a significant expense not to mention the fact that reliable web hosting is absolutely crucial to the success of your business. All it takes is a server going down during a big marketing promotion and your reputation suffers. In this article we will explore some of the things to look for in a quality web hosting company for a fair price.

First off let’s get some basics out of the way for those who may not fully understand what web hosting is. Web hosting is simply the place that your website’s files and documents are located which allows your site to be pulled up on the internet. This is why it is crucial that the web host be reliable, if there server isn’t working neither are you.

When you are looking for web hosting online there are so many to choose from that it can be an overwhelming task to try to hone it down to a handful to consider. You need to keep a few things in mind before you get started however, and the first is don’t just go with the cheapest because of that reason. They are the cheapest web host because they aren’t giving certain features so you need to identify basic features that you need before you start shopping.

Some of the basic features that you will want from your web hosting company will be a choice of programming languages, databases, email addresses, bandwidth allowance, disk space and how many domains you are allowed to host. You will also want to know what kind of server and administration or control panel is offered, basically your choices will be Linux or Windows based servers. I prefer Linux servers with Cpanel installed because I am familiar with it and it makes my job a whole lot easier. Linux systems are usually less expensive than comparable Windows web hosting services plus they will offer the MYSQL and PHP programs that you will need for your online business. Most Linux based programming and databases are free, which is another reason why servers offering Linux are less expensive.

It is nearly impossible to find inexpensive web hosting with a Windows based server due to the fact that it cost the hosting company so much to get it in the first place and like anything else in life, that expense is passed on to the end user. To get a Windows based system at the same price as a Linux one you will probably have to give up many features so bear that in mind as well.

When assessing the reliability of a web hosting company do a little research on them, don’t just take their claims of 99% up time on their sales page as gospel. There are many web hosting companies out there that allow spammers to operate on their servers and they end up causing problems for everyone on that server, especially if you are on a shared server that is also sharing a block of IP addresses. You could end up having your site delisted and banned and have your emails blocked because of something someone else is doing.

One way that I like to check out hosting companies support is to either email them or if they have it enabled, have a live chat with them and ask them all my questions. If you email a web hosting company and it takes them awhile to get back to you when you are a prospective client what kind of service do you think they will give you once they have your money?

How To Find Web Hosting That Doesn’t Leave You Broke / Gregg Hall

Needless to say, having a web site to promote your business or ideas is imperative nowadays. Nearly all households have access to the internet, sometimes even on more than one computer. The great thing about the internet is that it can reach the whole world, and not just your neighbourhood. Thus, if you have anything to sell or anything to say, everyone can get to know about it.

Your web site is your shop window and it is open 24/7. It needs to be eye catching and transmit your message in a few seconds. It needs to have enough content that explains your message and what you do. It needs to load fast, be reliable and look professional. The impression your site should give is that of a company or professional who knows what they want to sell, or the message they want to send.

Having a web site is not just a commodity for businesses nowadays, but a must. A company or a professional without one is like a salesman without his business card. The site needs to be your profile and what’s good about it is that there is limitless information you can put on it. Another good thing is that static content on your site can be changed very easily. Even better, you can opt to go for a dynamic site which will automatically change your content based on changes to your business, like stock items, prices, articles, services and more.

Promoting your web site is the next step after having designed and developed one. The best way to do this on the web is by using the search engines. After all, the people you want to visit your site have no other choice to find you except from the search engines, unless they already know of your site. This is normally done through a search engine optimization process directly on your site. Other forms of promoting a site are; paid advertising with the search engines and inbound links from other related or non-related sites.

The work involved in projecting your site can also be used for presentation purposes, without the presence of the internet. Static sites can easily fit on CDs and their content can be used and presented as the company’s virtual business card or as the company’s portfolio. Dynamic sites, on the other hand, can be used as a desktop application, whereby company employees can login and use the administrative pages to update and report data directly in and from the project’s database.

Today, many businesses depend on their site. Some companies have gained immeasurable exposure and have even doubled and tripled their sales revenue as a result of a well designed web site. The same thing applies for artists and individual professionals who require both local and foreign exposure.

Your web site is your identity, make sure you have one!

The Importance of a Web Site / Sandro Azzopardi

It seems that nowadays everybody and their grandma sells Web hosting services. Don’t get me wrong, I’m the first one to believe in good competition and I defend this principle firmly. Nevertheless, there are people who think that they can start a web hosting business without knowing the first thing about developing and maintaining a business.

Those who surprise me the most are the ones that offer hosting services at ridiculous prices. You can find people offering web hosting for $1 a year. Yes, you read right: one dollar for an entire year of service. If you consider that the prices of established providers go from $60 to $100 a year for a basic service, this will sound very attractive. But is it really?

Let’s do some simple calculations. Lets say a provider gets 1,000 clients, a reasonable number for a small web hosting business. If this provider sells his services at $1 each, then he will have the fabulous amount of $1,000 in a year. Do you think that he will be able to offer quality services, support and upgrades at this amount? I am hard pressed to think he will have enough for food alone!

“It can still be a good business if you get enough clients,” some will say. Ok, just because I’m in a good mood, let’s continue with this example. Imagine this provider-for-a-dollar can get 10,000 customers (a very ambitious goal). Then it’s $10,000 dollars of income. Sounds better, doesn’t it? However, do you think a business can make it with this income for a year? Just imagine the cost associated with servicing 10,000 clients. Just the cost of rent, phone lines and power would be enough to deplete this small income.

As ever, the human mind is marvelous and searches for a solution. Clients that buy these services reason that if they get the deal for a year, it doesn’t matter if the provider goes out of business next year (which is most likely). They already got the service almost for free. Again I ask, is this true?

If your provider suddenly goes out of business, you will no longer have access to your services, and you will lose your email addresses and your web site. Even if you have your domain registered with another provider, you will not be able to get a new service for at least a couple of days in the best case scenario. That’s only if you didn’t make the mistake of getting your domain name with the same provider. In that case, you may even lose your domain name and will have to get a new one. Imagine the time wasted just notifying all your clients about your new email address. What if you lost important emails and documents too? Do you think this is worth the risk?

When you buy your next web hosting service, consider the support services, the promptness in answering your emails and phone calls and the time the provider has been in the market. Yes, do check the price too, but if it sounds too good to be true, it may be a good idea to look somewhere else.

But if you insist on getting one of these services for a dollar, we will be happy to help you when your provider disappears. Let’s hope the damage isn’t too bad.

There is a new fad in the web hosting market. Reseller hosting. Where individuals like you and I can become web hosts (sell web hosting) without having to buy all the infrastructure and do-hickeys that go along with setting up such a business.

Becoming a web hosting reseller for a web hosting company is becoming a very profitable past time for a lot of Internet marketers. Being able to earn a monthly on going income selling a service every webmaster needs with out huge setup costs is a hard business model to ignore.

So what exactly is reseller hosting and how can you get started?

Reseller hosting allows you to sell a web hosting companies services as your own. This is called private labelling. Basically they offer you a discount rate on their web hosting services and you sell it off as your own at any price you want.

Reseller hosting can start for as little as $20 a month. That means you can have a full featured web hosting business without any major start up costs.

The great thing about some companies offering reseller web hosting is that they do all the technical work for you as well. They provide around the clock support for you, they manage your servers and they can even bill your customers for you, so all you have to sell is focus on selling their products.

There is more to it but you can find out more about a web hosting companies reseller program by asking them directly. In this article, I want to focus on how to make money by selling web hosting.

So how can you make money selling web hosting? Here are my favorite methods.
1 – Create And Sell Businesses On Ebay

This is my favorite method of generating sales for my web hosting services. In a nut shell, what I do is I create turnkey businesses (businesses built just to be resold to other people) on Ebay and charge people a flat monthly fee to host the site they just brought on my web hosting service.

If you go to Ebay and have a look in the website/businesses for sale section, you will see people doing just this. It might look strange seeing a website sell for a few dollars. I never use to understand exactly how they made any money, then I realized, they were not making money from the sale of the business, but on the back end. They would create good clean website site, sell it on Ebay for a few dollars and then charge the buyer to host this site on their hosting service.

This is perfectly legal, as long as you tell them up front that they must continue to host their website on your web hosting services for a certain period of time.

You could easily sell 100 small websites a week on Ebay. On average, you could sell hosting for $10 a month. So every week, you could be making $1000 a week. But that’s not the best thing, since web hosting is paid monthly, you get paid monthly for as long as they stay with your web hosting service. This is as close as a steady pay check as you are going to get with Internet marketing
.

You get paid every month whether or not you actually even work.
2 – Become A Dedicated Hosting Service Just For Blogs

Blogging is hot right now. Very hot. There are an estimated 40,000 new blogs started every day. EVERY DAY. Can you imagine that? Sure, most of them are hosted for free, but there are a lot of blogs and bloggers who want the control of having a domain name and their own web hosting for their blogs.

The great thing about blogs is that they take up very little disk space and transfer (bandwidth) allowance. You can host many, many blogs with very little resources and you can charge a good price for your services.

Another great thing about blogs and bloggers is that most successful bloggers have more then one blog. This is great because blogs take very little technical assistance on your part which means you can grow your business quicker and have more paying customers without the need for costly and time sapping technical support.

So how can you market your blogging web hosting service? Good question! Here’s an even better answer.

Forums! And not just forums about blogging. Any forum, any topic could be perfect for a blog, and there are a lot of people in forums looking for a way to express their interest in their hobby or passion.

You could easily position yourself as the service to go to for niche blogs. You could target forums that talk about any subject. Fishing, gardening, dog training, pie eating, you name it.

Posting in forums with helpful answers will no doubt bring you a lot of qualified business. Just make sure you answer with helpful posts and not just blatant plugs for your business.

The way to really make an impact with this type of service is to offer something no one else is doing. Maybe you could get an ebook written about the secrets to niche blogging and give that away with every hosting sale, or maybe you could give away free unique content that they could use every month on their blogs when they sign up for 6 or 12 months of hosting.

There are many ways to make money reselling hosting, and as you can tell, it is quite the lucrative business model.

To your success.

The popularity of using Flash components in websites has increased markedly, particularly after Adobe took ownership of Macromedia. Web designers are finding it easier than before to incorporate Flash more creatively and seamlessly into websites, without hampering download speeds.

Flash is a natural fit for Web designers. It enhances the visual appeal of a web page with its ability to deliver the message in a continuous movie format accompanied by audio. Its vector-based graphics are able to increase the interactive functionality of the website, which in turn increases the visitor to customer conversion rate.

With animated graphics and a supportive audio track, Flash is able to attract the attention of the visitor within the first vital seconds, that determine whether a visitor considers it worthwhile to further explore the website. The extensive multimedia capabilities of Flash, allow complex ideas to be presented in a more effective manner. Flash movies also load faster than other scripting such as JavaScript.

However, Flash is also prone to overuse. This causes websites to load slowly or cause the user excessive distraction with unnecessary animation. As text in Flash media cannot be read by search engines, it does compromise SEO (Search Engine Optimization) efforts.

When designing with Flash, the following should serve as a quick checklist:

1. Give the visitor an option to skip

Repeating the presentation of the same Flash movie each time a page is visited should be avoided. Give visitors an option to skip the presentation by offering a skip button.

2. Make the website SEO compatible

Search engines do not crawl content in a Flash presentation, (though lately, there have been some positive developments in this regard). The result would be a non-listing of the website in search engine results For more details go to www.javascript-magic.com. One solution is to create web pages that have both Flash and text elements. You can put the keyword rich text in an HTML text format, leaving images and minimal text for the Flash-enabled banners, thus catering to both SEO and design. You can then selectively submit only those pages to the search engines which are not totally Flash-based.

3. Don’t forget the deadlines

Making complex Flash presentation is a time consuming process. If you are working against short deadlines, develop your HTML site first and add Flash elements after it has been put online.

4. Use Flash judiciously
Using Flash for the sake of it can prove counter-productive as it can come in the way of information gathering, particularly if the site’s purpose is to impart knowledge with a high density of text. Just the minimal use of Flash is often all that is needed, in for example, stock market related sites For more details go to www.google-friendly-page.com .In such sites, you can use interactive based graphs created in Flash to provide greater user flexibility and customization.

5. Don’t go over budget

Flash components raise the cost of website development. Therefore the extent of Flash usage in a site should be well planned to keep costs within budget.

Flash presents immense possibilities to enable designers to innovate and make websites interactive and absorbing. But remember, it is just another tool. Use it sparingly for greater impact.www.29-web-design-tricks.com

Directory submission is one of the most important things to do when you are link building. It is an assured way to get solid one way links back to your desired domain or sub domain. I discovered that several of my clients waited until the last moment to renew their URLs, and the URLs had been back ordered by domain name resellers. These resellers are currently selling us our domains, which thanks to my clients’ inaction are longer ours, for an extremely ridiculous price, which we have little choice but to pay. Now why have these URLs become so dear? It is because the web sites were great resources.

As you embark on your linking program, please remember to make sure your hold on your URL is extremely tight. Now I pay enough for domain names to cover several years in advance. This is important; fail in this area and you will find that after submitting your URL to 800-1000 directories (free and paid) you have no control over that URL anymore. Now we can go into the details.

The biggest directory project is the open directory project. If you didn’t know about it…well, now you do. Its also called ODP or the “Google directory.” It is supposed to be hard to get approval but if you follow the basic steps you should never have a problem with the ODP (or any other directory for that matter). Other big directories include the Yahoo Directory; we will go into the hundreds of others later.

Most directories have human editors and frown severely on multiple submissions, however if you have a big site with multiple categories, you can place your subcategories as sub domains and submit in different sections of the directory. For example, if you have a web site that has one category on Windows programming (software) and another on networking (hardware), if you divide both into different sub domains, you can put one sub domain under “software, Windows programming” and the other under “hardware, networking.”

It will not be considered spam since the two URLs cover separate topics. Note however that for branding purposes it is always best to have one web site which covers one topic, and in case you run into an overly strict “volunteer” editor (most of them are overworked and not paid anyway), it is sometimes better to submit just one URL to a directory from your site.

Directories want to offer a service. If they are good at listing, they get traffic; if they are bad, they don’t. They need relevant listings. This is why some people find it hard to get listed; a lot of sites try to get listed on unpaid directories without being relevant. This will definitely make directory submission hard.

Your directory submission should be done when your website is fully functional and ready for viewing. Some advise that it should be done once your domain name is registered, but then there will be nothing for the humans to review. You must have finished building the basics of your site before you submit your URL for approval.

Google AdSense and other Pay Per Click (PPC) advertisements can be a great way to make money from blogs. With PPC advertisements, you get paid anywhere from a few pennies to a few dollars every time someone clicks on an ad. Even if PPC advertising is working well on your blog or Web site, often a little “tuning” can easily increase income by a factor of four or more!

There are several choices including the extremely popular Google AdSense, Kanoodle BrightAds, Chitika and the Yahoo! Publisher Network. Signing up is fast and easy and you can run them on most blogs, but check their terms of service well. For more details www.atoz-about-rss.com You simply cut and paste the advertisements to your blog, or in some cases you can simply use a plugin. They perform very well for some blogs but not well on others — you need to experiment. We’ll talk specifically about Google AdSense here, although the concepts are similar with all PPC advertising.

You want the ads “above the fold,” which means the area of the blog visible without scrolling. In one long term test I performed I was getting about one click per 1500 page views for ads that were far down in the side bar, which is simply atrocious. When I moved the ads up so they were above the fold, clicks, and income, increased over 20 times! Of course, there are a lot of variables involved, but ads or anything you want people to click on or even see need to be in prime blog locations, preferably above the fold.

No one likes advertisements, so you want to configure the ads to blend in with your blog, i.e. the same background color, text color, link colors, etc. For AdSense this specifically means getting rid of the borders, so the ads do not specifically look like ads. In one experiment, just getting rid of the borders doubled clicks! Again you need to experiment. Every blog and Web site will be different.

With Google AdSense you have a choice of different sizes and types of ads, as well as choices of where to put them on your blog. You can setup different “channels” for different ads and ad types. For example, on one blog my self-describing channels were called leftsidebar, rightsidebarhigh, rightsidebarlow, incontent, and top linkbar. On this particular blog, rightsidebarhigh and incontent were the top performers by far. For more details www.your-own-blog.com The others received very few clicks so I removed them. Interestingly, although leftsidebar didn’t work well for AdSense, that was a great and profitable location to display affiliate programs.

Google AdSense and other PPC advertising may work well on your blog. You can’t tell whether they will work until you try them and spend some time tweaking them. Traffic levels are very important as well; you’re not going to make six figures a year if you only have 25 readers a day.

We’ve given some general guidelines; your mileage may vary. What is most important is experimentation to find what works best on your blog.

Video games, enjoyed huge popularity and was believed to be the prominent source of attraction among the children, a few decades ago. You can still see a lot of rush of children in the video game shops. But they are not only limited to children. Many older people also enjoy such activities either to pass their spare time or for fun or relaxation. Quite amazingly, they are now no longer limited only to shops. Many people have their own systems to enjoy such interactive games even on their TV sets. As a matter of fact, with the arrival of computer these options easily became accessible to more and more people. Almost every computer has some built-in games and some others are installed. But, here, you have to limit yourself up to a few games.

Now, with the inception of the online flash games, you can enjoy the liberty of enjoying wide variety of games on several websites on Internet. These include every type of fun games such as adventure, shooting, sport, racing, action, skill etc. These thrilling fun activities create a great excitement among the gamers. Many websites have also been specially designed for this purpose. Such activities, on one side, give immense pleasure to people and on the other hand, they develop numerous skills among the gamers. For instance, the shooting frolics develop the shooting skills etc. In the same way, some websites have even started teaching cooking through these actions.

Many websites even provide the facility of downloading such contents, so that one can play the games later also. Whereas, some other websites allow the users only to play them online. Some of these frolics are based on Java. Thus, Java or JVM (Java Virtual Machine) must be downloaded to be a part of such interactive actions. For playing the online flash games also, installation of flash is necessary in order, to display these frolics. But these are not the big issues. Flash is easily available and that too totally free of cost on many web sites. Most of the times a dialogue box appears on the screen, which would ask you whether you want to download flash or not. By clicking ‘yes’, the flash option gets downloaded. In the same way, Java and JVM is also available free of charge on the website of Sun (manufacturer of Java) and some other sites. There are some other types of free online games also which can be played by multiple players. These games can be played by the users sitting on remote computers too. Some famous portals provide the games on their Instant Messengers. Online versions of some traditional games such as chess, pool etc. can also be found on these.

These frolics provide wonderful options for entertainment as well as good mental exercise. The online flash games are one of the best mediums of entertainment for children, busy people as well as fun loving people. Day by day, more and more high end versions are designed and some new ones are being added on some sites. Hopefully, such developments would continue giving delight to everybody.

Nowadays, your success online is dependent largely on how well you can place yourself with the search engines.
Older search engine optimization (SEO) practices, however, tend to have marginal effects; you have to exploit them (and thus get penalized by search engines) to get any significant effect. An article marketing service might be the most effective and ethical way for you to give your site’s popularity a boost.

Article Marketing: A Summary

The practice of article marketing is basically a subset of the larger group of one-way link building techniques. Short articles or blocks of text are used to create a context where the links to your website can appear naturally. for more detials:-www.press-release-profits.com.This is the main idea behind conceptual link building, one of the most cost-effective link building services available today.

SEO the Old-Fashioned Way

Although there are many SEO techniques that have been proven effective throughout the years, almost all of them are now limited or restricted by search engines. Those techniques include

• keywords stuffing, or simply sticking as many keywords as possible into a page

• meta tag manipulation, or placing every conceivable term into the meta html field

• link farming, one of the older and shadier methods of link building that agives a fake boost to a page’s popularity

Practices like the ones listed above have been recognized as exploitable, which is why most search engines frown upon them. It’s unwise to use those strategies as well because countless random pages are already using them to vie for your niche in the market. Using those techniques will just have you compete unnecessarily with all those other sites.

Article Marketing is A-Ok

Using article marketing is more than just about keeping the search engines happy with your web pages. It’s a much more effective marketing technique than most other SEO practices out there. for visit detials:-www.article-strategy.com.At the same time, it creates a multifaceted marketing campaign that covers more bases and attracts more people to your site.

Some of the reasons why it’s more strategic to use article marketing include

• informational value. Readers and visitors will feel that they got something for nothing because they’ll be getting new information from the article

• a two-step advertising process. The article can serve as a preliminary sales pitch for whatever you want your site visitors to do

• better indexing by the search engines because they don’t recognize you as an SEO abuser

• wider market reach because you can safely and effectively target other keywords and products using the articles

• increased overall popularity. It’s likely that other sites will also link to the article page because there’s useful, relevant information in the text. Because the article page – made more popular by all those external links – points to you, this translates into benefits for your own site.

Article Is An Important Source of Online Marketing / Author: Inder Zogt

The fibre optic cables are made of thin glass strands and have the capacity of transmitting trillions of bits per second. Fibre Optic Cables use light pulses to transmit information down fibre lines instead of using electronic pulses to transmit information in copper lines. Light pulses move easily down the fibre optic line because of a principle known as total internal reflection. When this principle is applied to the construction of the fibre optic strand, it is possible to transmit information down fibre lines in the form of light pulses.

There are three basic elements of a fibre optic cable. The core, the cladding and the coating.

Core is the light transmission area of the fibre cable, either glass or plastic. The larger the core, the more light will be transmitted into the fibre.

The function of the cladding is to provide a lower refractive index at the core interface in order to cause reflection within the core so that light waves are transmitted through the fibre.

Coatings are usually multi-layers of plastic applied to preserve fibre strength, absorb shock and provide extra fibre protection. These buffer coatings are available from 250 microns to 900 microns.

The size of the optical fibre cable is commonly referred to by the outer diameter of its core, cladding and coating. Example: 50/125/250 indicates a fiber with a core of 50 microns, cladding of 125 microns, and a coating of 250 microns.

There are two basic types of fibre: multimode and single-mode. Multimode fibre cores may be either step index or graded index. The single mode has a higher capacity and capability than either of the two multimode types. For example, undersea telecommunications cables can convey 60,000 voice channels on a pair of single mode fibres.

Considerations of tensile strength, ruggedness, durability, flexibility, size and resistance to the environment, flammability, temperature range and appearance are important in optical fibre cables.

Fibre optic cable is the medium on which the broadband technology is based. Fibre optic cables have the ability to transmit multiple pieces of data simultaneously and to carry signals from different network carriers. It is simply amazing to see the many uses of Fibre optic cables.

Social Media: Its Growing Popularity in Search Engine Marketing / Naman Jain

The search engines are one of the major drivers of traffic to any website. It provides tremendous exposure to your website in return generating valuable traffic. Most web developers have realized the potential of these search engines in effective search engine marketing techniques pretty well, and are making optimum use of advertising and promoting their website through the search engine promotional campaigns.

These days the search engines are the main source for the web surfers to find anything useful in the web. All they need to do is type a relevant keyword in the search engines, and check out the related sites that appear in their listings. Thus, the main motive of all SEO marketing techniques is to attain the top ranking on these search result listing pages.

The search engines generally have two different kinds of search procedures the Organic and the paid search listing. In order to attain the best results from your search engine marketing it is essential that you utilize both of these in order to completely optimize your website. Keyword optimization is the buzz word in SEO marketing. It is very necessary to optimize your website for the primary and secondary keywords relevant to your site. In case you have a specifically long keyword which is otherwise not optimized on the search engines, make sure to use the paid listing technique to optimize them.

The search engines marketing are helpful in giving you the best results only if your website too possesses high quality content. If your website is not that useful to the users they would not come to your site anyways, and then no search engine will be able to improve your website rankings. People visit a website with a purpose, and if their purpose is not served they will not visit your website. It is also necessary to keep updating your website content regularly so that the visitors find something new every time they make a visit. This will create a good impact on your visitors and they will frequently visit your website for the latest content.

Along with keyword optimization and pay per click campaigns, directory submissions are another essential and effective SEO marketing. Providing your website’s URL at different web directories and other online directories also helps in pulling effective traffic to your website.

While you are effectively taking all the necessary steps to ensure a good SEO marketing for your website, it also equally important to do a thorough analysis of your search engine marketing outputs. This will give you a fair idea about how the search engine is responding to all your efforts and also shall help you better your efforts in future.

It would not be a very wise decision to rush into search engine marketing without having a set of relevant keywords ready beforehand. Search engines are all about keywords. The web surfer type in their search in the form of keywords and the search engines show results analyzing the relevance of those keywords in the web world.

A website that wishes to rank itself in the search engine result pages, must have their most related keywords ready before they begin their Search Engine marketing program. These set of keywords are usually segregated into the primary, secondary and other related key words or phrases which best match the core content of the websites. Many web masters also tend to optimize their website with, keywords based on their products, services or content.

The selection of a wrong or unrelated set of keywords will hamper the traffic flow of your website and will inversely affect the conversion rate of the site. It is also important to choose high demand keywords as your relevant keywords. High demand keywords on the search engines are those keywords that are most commonly searched by the surfers. Selecting less popular keywords again will not be effective in attracting influx to your websites.

Another essential thing to remember before making your selection of keywords, is to first decide, what is it that you are expecting to obtain from this marketing campaign. Do you wish to increase your sale or lead, or do you wish more and more people to come and visit your website. Are you doing this campaign only for branding purpose or do you also wish to attain a higher rank in the search engines? Keyword selection for all these purposes varies slightly in nature.

The target audience of a websites also takes active participation in deciding the keyword selection of your site. If you are targeting the youth the key words or phrases shall be more trendy and stylish and latest amongst them, similarly it varies from place to place and country to country too. Implying these simple logistics will enhance your search engine marketing strategy showing effective results in no time.

Considering all these points it becomes extremely necessary that all websites that are planning to venture into the keywords optimization fundamental of the search engines, must do a thorough keyword analysis. Based on your keyword analysis reports you can now decide upon your paid search keyword and organic search keywords. The paid search keywords are generally the most high demand keyword on the internet that are also the top in the list of priority of the website too.

Keyword Optimization: the Key to Search Engine Marketing / Naman Jain

Internet marketing can seem mystifying not only for beginners, but for moderately skilled internet marketers. With all the courses, forums, blogs, reports, seminars and teleconferences available to help people learn how to get traffic to their sites, it is one of the most overwhelmingly dense subjects on the internet.

Unfortunately, and this is perfectly true, most of the advice or “expert” tips are outdated or completely false. Since anyone can publish on the internet, you have a mixed bag of good information followed with much more bad information.

The mysticism of internet marketing is created largely by this glut of some good and mostly bad information. It makes the whole topic SEEM like rocket science when, in fact, much of what was true about internet marketing years ago is true today.

Most people think that since search engine marketing changes every five minutes, that ALL internet marketing tactics must have changed as much in the same amount of time. Not true.

The basics, like trading links, article syndication, testimonials, forum signatures, joint ventures, affiliate programs – most work as well today as they did years ago. That is, if you know how to value the work above for what it will truly do for your website traffic.

Funny thing is, no one places much value on the above tactics anymore because there is always some “new” tactic around the corner that claims the death of everything that came before it. And most people blindly follow that advice as if it were true.

Most of the time, this is to the detriment of their internet marketing efforts. The basics are what work all the time and what have always worked on the internet.

You can always experiment with new things, as long as you have not forgotten to do the basics. The basics proven to drive traffic, page rank, link popularity, and branding to your business.

Conservative, relevant reciprocal linking
Article syndication
Participation in your field and among your market (forums)
Blogging
Offline advertising
Non-reciprocal linking tactics
Press releases
…and many other proven methods.

Everything else is just a big experiment until proven to work over time. “Over time” being the operative words. Lots of flash in the pan crack pot schemes work for awhile. But most never stand the test of time.

Links from a widely syndicated article will never fade away, yet I see people chasing down fly-by-night linking pyramid schemes as if they truly believe something like that is a smart thing to base their internet business on!

Tens of thousands have walked away from their dreams, gone back to their depressing, predictable, slave-labor jobs never knowing how close they were to actually succeeding.

Good people have left this business proclaiming it an utter lie that any average person can make it with an internet business and an internet marketing plan.

I guess there is truth in that statement. Average people do in fact quit this business before they ever get started because average people fall for tricks and schemes that above average people avoid on their way to success.

If you have read this far, you are probably in the above average category. Why? Because average people would have taken one look at the list of things I mentioned that are the bread and butter of internet marketing and saw nothing but hard work. And they’d be right!

Above average people don’t shy away from work though. I don’t know a single soul (and my rolodex has some of the biggest names in internet marketing in it) who got where they are today without a lot of hard work.

You can succeed in internet marketing if you are not afraid to work, and not constantly tempted by those who say you can succeed without it!

Focus on the basics of internet marketing and stay with them as you try new strategies. We all experiment. But successful internet marketers never leave their bread and butter tactics behind unless they cease to be effective.

Search engines are tools which are created in order to search for information on the World Wide Web. A person using a search engine types in what they are looking for, this could be something like “Computers for sale” and the search engine will then find all the websites and pages that are relevant to that search. A search engine performs this search by using ‘crawlers’ or ‘spiders’ which will crawl through the text on websites and pick out which ones contain the words in the search. Sites which have the exact word match “Cars for sale” will rank highly in the results and ones which only have “cars” for example in them will rank less highly.

This high ranking is of key importance to the owners of websites as they want to get as much traffic to their websites as possible, especially if they are selling something. This is where search engine marketing becomes crucial to a websites success. Many people will use Search Engine Marketing to improve the search engine result pages, or SERPs, for their site.
What are the different methods of search engine marketing?

Search engine marketing can take many forms, and probably the most favoured method is SEO, or search engine optimisation. This is a way in which the theme of the website is represented in the text of the site by using keywords. These keywords are the words that are thought to be the ones used by people performing searches. In order for a crawler to pick up on these words they must be used a number of times during the text. This is known as the keyword density of a body of text. The usual keyword density is 2-5%, although some sites will go as high as 7% – this technique however is seen as keyword stuffing and this can have the opposite effect on a websites rankings.

Another search engine marketing technique is using paid inclusions which is a fee that the owner of a website will pay to a search engine in order to be placed regularly on rankings for the chosen keywords. Some people do not agree with this form of search engine marketing as it is seen as paying for advertising space and some search engines do not allow it.
Are there any more forms of search engine marketing?

There are many different forms of search engine marketing and everyone will have been the target of email marketing at one time or another, if not every day. This form of search engine marketing can be very frustrating as sometimes you may have used a search engine to find out about a subject, and at one point inputted your email address to get more information. This can trigger a barrage of spam emails advertising some service or product to buy.
Pay per click is another popular form of search engine marketing where an advert is placed on a search engine in the hope that a user of that search engine will click through and go onto to advertisers website. These advertisements appears when a keyword is entered into a search engine that matches a keyword on the advert, or a page is clicked onto who’s content is relevant. These adverts can be very frustrating and there is no way of preventing them from appearing.

Search engine marketing is like any other form of marketing, there to grab the reader’s attention and get them to go into a new website. It is important to know the tricks of search engine marketing order to avoid going to websites that are just trying to sell something you don’t want. However, when used properly search engine marketing is a fantastic way of getting traffic to a website.

What Makes Search Engine Marketing so Important? / John Mclean

Making a successful on-line business is not an easy thing to do. One of the most difficult parts is separating the hype from reality. If you are new to internet marketing then you have already seen the large number of ads trying to get you to use their ’secret’ method to making millions of dollars on the internet.

You will read these huge single pages that go on and on about how rich you will become if you just buy their ‘guaranteed’ way to get-rich-quick. They will be full of testimonials of others ‘just like you’ that have become fabulously rich in just a few days.

Do not waste your time chasing these illusions. You will have just as much chance of getting rich with their scams as by buying a lottery ticket. The majority of these scam artists sell your email address to other scam artists that then send you more get-rich-quick offers. This is the dirty little ’secret’ they do not want you to realize.

Be particularly wary of ebooks that are hyped as being the complete path to success, that have all the information you need to being a successful internet marketer, an email whiz, or an affiliate guru.

These ebooks are usually just a collection of articles the author has accumulated over time. Articles they have written themselves and submitted to article directories to promote their own business, or articles collected over time from various other sources.

These articles are then packaged and marketed as a book guaranteed to bring unlimited riches to anyone who reads it. The real problem with this method is that there are nuggets of valuable information buried in the chaff of hype, and it is these nuggets that are used to tempt potential buyers.

This does not mean that there are not legitimate business people who have both the experience and the knowledge to help you. They will make money by doing this, but they will do it by selling worthwhile tools, products, and services.

Another serious pitfall on the road to a successful internet business is getting side-tracked by the tidal wave of information you will be exposed to. It is virtually impossible to avoid this as you are actively searching for the tools and information you need.

You must maintain your focus on what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to build a single web site that sells one type of product or service? Do you want to be a consultant to other small business that want to market on-line? Or are you trying to build an internet ‘empire’ of multiple web sites selling a variety of goods and services?

Once you know what your goal is you can then begin to acquire the tools and techniques necessary to achieving that goal. Here is where you have to put on the blinders and focus on what you really need and ignore the flood of distractions that will sap your time and energy.

I have been down this road and have learned a lot of difficult lessons in the process. My purpose is to help others save their valuable time by providing tools and techniques that actually work. Am I doing this to make money? Of course, I am just like you, trying to become financially independent.

I believe I can make money by selling the information I have acquired over years of trying these different methods and tools. If I can condense that time in order to save you the same time then we both benefit. You save time by finding what will work for you, and I make money by making it available to you.

Your success will depend on your effort. This is not a revelation, you already know this. But never forget it during those inevitable times when you are discouraged and frustrated. Success is almost never an overnight proposition. One that can be achieved without a lot of hard work and discipline.

Keep your goals realistic and bite off only what you can chew…a little at a time. Small victories will build on each other and will give you the confidence to continue. Dreams are a good thing…unrealistic fantasies are debilitating and a waste of your time. Learn to recognize the difference between dream and fantasy…Now get to work!

Start an Online Business – Without the Hype / Br Tilley

The author has been working online since the days of bulletin boards, the precursor to the world wide web. He has a number of ecommerce websites and also is an ISP, providing web hosting for small business needs. He can be reached at EarthStation Productions or send an email. He would like to hear from you and will answer your questions to the best of his ability.

Today, earning money online is not a myth anymore. There are more and more people making their fortune and make a living online. However, the numbers of people who tried to make a living online but fail to do so also increases as a result of the hype. Many people are just blowing hot air and follow what most people are doing. The point here is that, if you want to earn money online, you don’t have to create your new plan and start with new ideas, meaning that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, all you need is just follow.

Just follow what those successful people are doing, and they can lead you to your wealth. Take affiliate marketing as example, your merchant has already created a system for you; you just need to follow the steps and process provided from your merchant. You don’t have to create your own products. In fact, you don’t have to sell your visitors as well, your merchant will do the selling for you, your job as an affiliate is to pre-sell your visitors, recommend them, not selling. So you see, it is all about following what the successful people are doing, then add some creative ideas and take massive actions.

So why should you follow the footsteps of those who had achieved financial success? This is because they have been there, and they know exactly how to get there. Therefore, if you follow their routes, you can save your time by avoiding obstacles that they have faced before. That means, you can achieve your financial success in a shorter time. Now, if you want to go to Town A, and you don’t know the route, then you will have to ask those people who have been there before. Simply because they know how to get to Town A. However, if you are going alone without asking any advice, well, maybe you can still get there, but you will have to find your own road, and this will take you a lot of your time. You are going to face a lot of trial-and-error because you will reach the wrong place before you finally get to Town A.

This is why following what successful people are doing is so important. Most of us will listen to what our parents told us, “Go to school, get a good grade, find a good job and you can retire financially free”. Before you take this advice, think about this, are our parents a millionaire? So now you know, if you want to achieve financial freedom, then you will have to follow the footsteps of those who have achieved this, not by listening to someone who never achieve before, they don’t even know how to get there themselves.

So start to learn how to be creative and follow the footsteps of the rich. Of course you must not copy exactly what they did, you need to innovate their ideas and strategies, and after that, take massive actions. Success will eventually be yours.

Internet and other traditional media, like newspapers and magazines, bear a resemblance both in the organizational structure as well as the functions they perform. The major difference between them lies in the fact that the very nature of the channel they use differs a lot. For Internet advertising the channel is the website and web pages which exists in a virtual world of computers and networking.

An online advertising firm operates in a similar way as the offline ones. The advertising firm identifies the people who need to sell their products and service and also the publishing websites where they can be sold. Therefore in essence they both perform the same task, paid communication for a client.

The people, especially the ones from technical background, differ slightly for different media. In an online advertising firm you will find the expertise to be trained to deliver for the web. Though the broad outlines of catching the attention of the audience and convincing them to buy remains the same but the means employed vary.

Online advertising is still in the development phase and there are a few restrictions, like the availability of space. The advertising firm has to focus on whatever comes on the screen and try to extract maximum out of it. You might have often noticed catchy images and advertisement messages on top of a web page. They are banner advertisements. Banner advertising lets people to buy that space and it is the advertising firm which provides for an advertisement message in that space.

To conclude one might find a strong relation between print advertising and online advertising practices. Further, the Online Internet Advertising Firm providing services in offline media are now taking up the task of providing for the Internet. So the competition amongst such firms is becoming harder. On one hand we have those advertising firms who have been exclusively providing the services and on the other hand we have established advertising firms who are taking up the challenge to cater to the online users. You can say that it is diversification but more than that it is where business is.

Online Advertising Reaching New Heights Through – Online Internet Advertising Firms / Joy Smith

Joy Smith is an ace online marketer. He has propounded many phenomenal concepts in online promotions like PPC, Banner advertising, email marketing, viral marketing and affiliate networking. At present, he is counseling RupizAds Ltd. a leading Online Internet Advertising Firm in UK.

I believe that you can see a lot of ads saying that they can make you rich and how much you can make, and if you did not achieve those goals, they are going to refund you with your money. Is that true? Well, whether it is true or not, it is not important here. What is more important here is how you respond towards all the strategies that you’ve purchased and discovered.

The moment you see someone makes millions of dollars from the net, do you believe it? Are you going to ask for evidence? Many people did not believe, and they ask for proofs. Just like when you see an ad saying that they can teach you to make so and so much amount of money in just one week, I’m sure you are going to hesitate about it, you will ask for proves. Please make this clear, the things that you are purchasing is just information, without applying those information, they are not going to make you rich.

Many people are skeptical, if you are an internet millionaires and you teach all of your friends how exactly to make money online, only 5 percent of them are going to be rich. The rest of them are not going to create any amazing results, simply because they did not put what you taught into actions. There is no such thing as guaranteed results in internet marketing, it is your actions and effort that are going to guarantee for your results, not the information or e-book that you’ve purchased.

Let me give you some examples here, do you think that your PhD will guarantee to make you rich? No. Do you think that Harvard will guarantee to make you more money or get you a job? No. Did someone get a high-paying job with their degree or PhD? Yes. This is exactly the same in internet marketing. You can find a lot of money making strategies out there, but they did not guarantee any results. However, there are indeed some people who did make nice chunk of cash with those money making strategies.

So the only thing that can guarantee your results is your own actions. I can give you a sure winning lottery number, but are you going to buy that lottery? All I ask is just the little actions to buy that lottery. Many people are skepticism; they did not believe it and they will ask for evidence. In fact, to achieve financial success is all about moving forward and taking actions. You always concentrate in creating results rather asking for results.

Always remember, the only guarantee is the one that you give to yourself, not from other people. Just like a great marketing product, for some people, it is great and they truly make money from it. However, for some people, they did not make any money from it. These are not because of the product; it is because of the people. You know obviously that without putting in any effort and actions, it will be useless even if the product guarantees you a full-refund.

Success lies within your hand, it is you yourself that is going to guarantee for your future. So start creating results, don’t ask for results.

Selecting a domain name – Domain name provides an identity to a website. It confirms your space on the internet as it denotes the name of your website that is entered by a user in search box to land on your site. For instance- yahoo.com, sujivan.org, usa.net and so on. Usually the user should opt for a domain name that ends with .com, .net or, org. These are the most common extensions used by the surfers. Many companies offer domain names at discounted rate, so keep an eye on online discounts if you want to purchase domain name at discounted price.

Web Hosting – Every website that is being launched requires a web hosting for database support and web application. Many service providers offer free web hosting service, this should be avoided and instead go for companies providing this service by taking some nominal monthly fees. Otherwise chances of the host offering free web hosting to put up their banner on your site is there which may prove harmful for your business. If the user does not have much traffic they can go for shared hosting and when increases switch on to solo web hosting traffic.

Website design and development – Next step is to hire a professional web designer to design your site. Take a note that the designer should have knowledge of HTML which is basic requirement for web designing. If you desire increased traffic to your site make sure that it is pleasant looking, fast downloadable and dynamic. Once web design part is complete then move for website development. Hire a professional web developer to develop advance functionality of your website.

Content creation – Content management and creation is one of the most important aspects of any website. It can be considered as heart of any site, as relevant information, goals, objectives, discussions, etc fall under the content category. Can you imagine any website without content? Not possible, it’s the backbone of every site whether personal or commercial. The content should be to the point and relevant, devoid of any grammatical errors.

Search engine optimization – To get increased traffic to your website, it is essential that it is visible in first or second page of major search engines like Google, msn and yahoo. This can be done by search engine optimization of certain keywords that the user is likely to enter in the search box. Higher rank in the search engine lands more visitors at your website.

With more than a thousand Content Management System (CMS) vendors, organizations face tough choices navigating the tricky waters of technology. A CMS solution that is perfect for a large company may be ineffective for an SMB as it has no use for features that are used extensively by a larger enterprise.

Buying a CMS is similar to buying Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions – you need to clearly evaluate your organization’s needs and then map them to make an informed choice. Once you succeed in identifying a CMS solution, how will you ensure that it simplifies your work as promised? What measures will you use to show your leadership team that the CMS will provide good ROI?

Before beginning a CMS implementation, it is extremely important to identify the key business goals that must be achieved. Without this clear vision of the objective, CMS implementations are almost sure to fail. In this context, it is not surprising to find that most CMS implementations often overshoot budgets and timelines, and over their lifetime consume far more time, energy, and resources just to stay functional that you ever imagined.

Organizational goals are diverse – but we can take a look at some common business objectives that must figure on your checklist before a CMS implementation.

Goal #1: Improve Business Responsiveness

In an intensely competitive world, organizations must be able to quickly update their Websites as soon as a new product or service is launched. In this scenario, organizations need the capability to accelerate content publishing, and provide subject matter experts (SMEs) with tools that are simple to use. Content specialists must be able to focus more on creating content – and not let content control them.

For example, consider the marketing arm of a technology services firm that has just found out from its sales team that –

1. there is a big SAP implementation services contract coming up
2. the company awarding the contract is checking vendor Websites to evaluate capabilities before drawing up a shortlist

In normal circumstances, the marketing team would have hurriedly asked the developers to put up a few links to SAP whitepapers (usually hidden inside the site) on the home page. If the same company had a Web content management system, the SMEs could have created a microsite with content tailored to showcase SAP capabilities. The ease of uploading content will also allow the same team to put up more recently created whitepapers on this microsite. In situations like this where time is of the essence, a user friendly CMS is invaluable.

Similarly, if SMEs feel that a particular content – such as a whitepaper on the Website – must capture email addresses of the people who download it, they can easily create a form using the content management tool, and ensure collection of this data. The email addresses can then become part of a lead generation exercise, used by the organization to sell specific services to users according to the type of whitepaper downloaded. Further, if a marketing person feels the need to run a campaign showcasing RFID capabilities, he can easily create a microsite within the main Website, and provide an in-depth overview of his company’s capabilities. It is clear, therefore, that ease of use in this scenario can actually drive business efficiencies and opportunities.

Goal# 2: Improve Branding

An organization’s image in the marketplace is a combination of multiple factors, out of which–the Website–is clearly one of the most influential. A simple mistake such as a non-existent link on a company Website can mean a missed business opportunity. The chosen Website CMS must enable the organization to maintain link integrity – thereby significantly reducing the chance of users reporting a missing link.

The CMS must also give the organization the capability to maintain consistency across all pages of its Website (with style sheets, templates, etc.) so that branding and design are controlled to the level desired, regardless of who is responsible for the actual content.

As a result, visitors can have a consistent and professional experience on a Website managed through an effective CMS.

Goal # 3: Improve Quality of Information

The CMS must enhance the organization’s ability to improve the quality of information by giving it the capability to deliver content that is updated, comprehensive and validated by SMEs. A Website CMS must have intelligent workflow automation, and ensure that content passes through appropriate quality gates before being published. For instance, ensuring that files can be given a full document lifecycle, including check-in, check-out, versioning, rollback, approvals, and scheduling.

The CMS should support configurable workflows that enable organizations to assign tasks to any person, and escalate in case defined thresholds are crossed. For example, the CMS must automatically send email alerts to content owners of specific sections on a Website, if these sections are not updated after a specific time period.

Goal # 4: Reuse content

In a digital world where content can be creatively used in a variety of forms such as whitepapers, podcasts or articles, effectively managing and using this content is critical for competitive advantage. However, the same content present in multiple mediums, across different business units can create silos of unmanageable information – and increase maintenance costs.

Organizations must encourage content reuse by reducing duplicate content and storing each kernel of content only once. An efficient CMS can help find and tag content assets from a single point of control. This centralized control medium also means that the organization can effectively measure the success of its various online marketing initiatives.

Goal # 5: Take Advantage of New Communication Media

The Web 2.0 audience demands an interface that is functionally rich, easy to use, and publishes content quickly. You would not want to frustrate an audience that is used to sites such as Flickr or Blogger. Adding complex content posting rules on your company’s blog will only alienate your would-be listeners. Further, different forms of metadata such as ‘rating’ or ‘tagging’ by voters introduce new layers of complexity in managing content.

Additional challenges in content management arise due to multiple device types. Organizations that follow a manual content updating style, or have a CMS that tightly binds content and structure, will be at a distinct disadvantage when publishing content to different formats. Hence, organizations must look to a CMS that enables and facilitates easy creation of content that caters to multiple mediums and audiences from a single source, for example; publishing of digital assets like audio and video files, and simplify the process of publishing the XML associated with the Podcast RSS feed.

Goal # 6: Improve Productivity

To improve productivity of key content specialists or SMEs, choose a CMS that allows even non-technical users to contribute and update content on a Website from anywhere, using just an Internet connection. Choose a CMS that encourages SMEs to experiment with the presentation of their content. For instance, enforcing design with, navigation schemes, and the presentation of content through standardized presentation templates. These templates ensure that the content presentation, titling and linking are arranged in a way that enables even non-technical staff to easily update content.

Productivity can also be enhanced by giving SMEs the ability to search and quickly identify digital assets that are present in the organization. Content owners can thus save valuable time in creating content that is already present.

Conclusion

Like sails driving a ship, goals are vital for content management. Using the right metrics can add further control and boost effectiveness. For example, ‘business responsiveness’ can be measured by the organization’s ability to quickly update its Website as soon as new products or services are launched. Other metrics used to gauge success of CMS goals can include Web usage statistics, turnaround time for publishing new material or implementing changes, customer satisfaction, development time for new pages, and cost of training. Having a clear vision of what the CMS has to achieve can turn the direction of change in an organization’s favor, and make it better equipped to maximize CMS potential.
