- Site Build It!. Custom website development which includes hosting and promotional solutions. This is one of the most popular and recommended programs on the internet for building a merchant website. We recommend the Sitesell approach to ecommerce solutions above those of Corey Rudl not because it's magical. It isn't. But it's something cleaner, simpler, more realistic. Also more information with less hype. Who are familiar with Rudl* know his approach to online business has made him a big dog in internet marketing with few peers who can approximate his success. This has its downsides but it remains that something has to be unusually good to recommend it above what Rudl has put together. Ken Evoy has done this through his SiteSell program. He has an unbelievable success rate for those who join his program because those who do are sincere and his system is plain. I did not say "easy" because ecommerce is not. Though Rudl has put together an excellent program the difference may be something like this: Who opt for Rudl are generally lured by big dollar signs and a little more flash. Who opt for Evoy simply want to succeed, which doesn't require becoming a millionaire nor even a six digit income. It's a little hype and more steady as she goes. Get answers to questions about Sitesell or related concerns. *Corey Rudl recently died in a high-speed auto crash at age thirty-four. Only recently married, ten years of internet marketing - which began with the e-book, Car Secrets Revealed - earned him an estimated worth of forty million.
Business Website Software
- Gateway and IBM computers, security software, utilities and the best computer magazines.
- Download Google's free toolbar. It performs backward links, autofills forms, does drag-and-drop and right-click searches, performs quick word finds, kills pop-ups, highlights search phrases and lists similar websites. It also lends a page importance scale, though this can be misleading since it is based on linkage rather than content. Who don't use the Google toolbar can obtain the Google rank of any web page at Li'l Engine. Unfortunately Google is now testing a toolbar which adds links to web pages. This is usurpation. Keep it in the toolbar and off the page, Google, or your toolbar will have to go on the "Avoid" list.
- Search Engine Submittal Is Easy.
- SEO is crucial. Good SEO can draw sales from 0PR pages that put 6PR pages to shame. It is highly suggested that you attend to SEO yourself, because SEO is a racket throughout the entire internet when it comes to paying for it. Be as may, if you're under severe pressure and have deep pockets INeedHits is as good as you will anywhere find. Yet, unless you're Bill Gates we emphasize that you do SEO yourself for a few years. Because it's as elemental to owning a website as is knowing how to do taxes if you run a business. Sure, the accountant may be a savior. But you won't know - whether or not - if you know nothing.
Search Engines and Indexes
- To learn how many and what sites are linking to your or any other web site visit Alexa and type in the URL. For a more thorough listing visit Google and type in the URL followed by "+a". That is: "www.readmnweep.com+a". That or "link:www.readmnweep.com".

- Quick clues:
- Insure your pages load fast. No more than 30 seconds for those using 28k modems, 10 seconds for those using 56k, which is yet the great majority of those who use the internet. Designers who create Flash splash pages either give surfers a Skip Intro option or are developing for high-end users only. Fast pages are a combination of design and hosting. If it takes forever for your site to be found when someone clicks a link you need to jump on it and find another host because you're losing all your business. To learn just how fast your web host is serving your site give it a ping. How do you ping? Go to DOS Command Prompt (might be under something like Start/Programs/Accessories on your computer). After C:\> type "ping readmnweep.com" (C:\>ping readmnweep.com) and tap Enter. If you're under 90 to 100ms and you use broadband that delivers, say, 500K (cable) then you've got no complaints because your host is serving your web site among the top 25% of the quickest on the internet. Do the math from there, taking into calculation whether you're pinging with a 56K modem (very unlikely to meet 56K) or DSL which should halve the above example for cable. (People often use cable instead of DSL because it uploads as quick as it downloads. Many providers of DSL don't tell you that, though you can download and surf fast, their uploading isn't much better than using a 56K modem. Which is of no great assistance to web masters or people doing various kinds of broadcasting. Be sure to inquire as to that before purchasing DSL. Further, though DSL should be about twice as fast as cable, there are "providers of DSL" so slow that they don't match good cable at anything at all.)
- Don't repeat key phrases in keyword tags. Spelling variations, however - such as plural and singular - are both acceptable and advantageous: "website" and "web site" for instance. Unless your Google rank is very high (approaching 10) avoid single and too popular key words. In general, the worse your rank the less popular key phrases you should use.
- Place keywords in alt tags.
- Use keywords 1 to 10 times in body text.
- Use keywords 3 to 20 times throughout a page.
- A word count of 300 to 500 is thought ideal for body text.
- A word count of 250 to 600 is thought ideal for an entire page.
- Make half of the keywords in body text prominent with bold or headline font.
- It is suggested that entire page content not exceed 150 KB.
