What is a Domain Name?

Are you trying to create a website? You are new to the Internet and creating websites and just came across a word – domain or domain name.
So what is a domain name? When you try to reach a website, what do you do? You type the address in the address bar of your web browser. For example, if you wan to visit Google, you type “www.google.com” in the browser. Here, “google.com” is the domain name. It is the address of the website.

All websites are hosted on Web servers which are powerful computer systems connected with the Internet. Every computer connected on the Internet (including your’s) is assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) address. It is a huge numeric value which is basically meant for computer machine, not humans. For example, Google’s IP address is 74.125.77.147. You can access Google by entering this value in your Web browser. Do you think it will be easy to remember this address?
To make sure that it is easy to reach websites, human-readable domain names were created. Domain names are easy-to-memorize address for websites. Each domain name has an IP address linked to it. When you type the domain name, the Web browser’s request is directed to the designated web server which hosts the website.

How does the computer know which IP address is linked to the domain name? Actually, it doesn’t. Each time you type a domain name in your Web browser, it sends the request to a Domain Name Server (DNS) to look up for the IP address. DNS servers are like online address books which maintain the record of domains and their IP address.
How does a DNS server know the IP address of a website? When you plan to start a website you get a domain name registered with a domain registrar. You also buy web hosting space or set up your own Web server. You link the IP address of your server (self or rented) to the domain name. The domain registrar keeps a record of the domains and IP addresses. This record is shared with all DNS servers across the globe. So when any person types a website’s URL address in his web browser, it connects to a DNS server (usually the one given by your Internet provider) for directions to the right Web server.

If “google.com” is the domain name, what is “www.google.com“? In crude terms, both of them are domain names. While “google.com” is the naked domain, www.google.com is the subdomain. You can have any number of subdomains for a domain. For example, you can have www.google.com, www1.google.com, news.google.com, video.google.com, i10.google.com, youtube.google.com or crazy.google.com. Do you notice that the “www” part can be replace with just anything? All of these are subdomains.

So what is “http” in http://www.google.com? It is the protocol (communication method) being used by the Web browser to communicate with the server. It is not part of the domain name.

5 Common Mistakes in Web Optimization and Positioning

 

Writing for search engine optimization, more than ever, a balance between art and science.While science is applied predominantly to search engines, art refers to content that your visitors see once they reach your site.

While there is absolutely unlimited number of SEO mistakes that can occur at the next mini SEO course will present a list of five mistakes that make your visitors click on the “back” and leave your site, and never return:

1) Writing for search engines: – Write as many keywords and phrases repeated in its content can generate negative points with search engines, remember not to sacrifice quality for quantity. The algorithms currently used have much in mind, but a keyword rich content is only one aspect of the overall calculation.
Of course, you must be prepared with the search engines to move up the rankings, but if visitors are bounced from the site after reading a couple of lines in the content of your page you’re probably losing the battle on the network.

2) Sacrificing readability while supplying keywords on your site – Key phrases “sticky” in content for a score as well as the search terms may work against him if he does not read well on the content of your site.

Optimize the content so you can convert your keywords in a number of inconsistencies and can be annoying and confusing to readers. One of the basic techniques of optimization and where you will receive a positive response using keywords that fit your content, even if they generate slightly less traffic.

3) frequent lack of spelling in content – While the spelling may be useful as search terms “intentionally” in its content, will have to sacrifice the credibility and professionalism of their site.

Calling attention to a misspelling. Many people will go to the page and forget everything you saw with the exception of the words that were misspelled thinking: These people have heard of a spellchecker?

4) multiple repeats of the same phrases – can work in composition, but using the same keywords over and over like a broken record will turn off readers, especially if they see the repetition as an attempt to promote other sites. At that point your site conviertirá an insult, it’s not a good way to start relationships with readers.

5) Use of phrases that are tangential to their purposes – Incorporation of high traffic keywords that relate to things that are not part of what is being offered might get more visitors to your site, but the question is: Do readers return to your site as soon as they realize they do not get what they want?. Do not waste time and space on the page, visitors and readers sacrifice will never be a good idea.

Skip the quality of its content to pursue the traffic is a sure path to frustration and website performance. The same applies to the content for your visitors to ignore the search engines. Optimized content that is working to attract search engine traffic to your site and will be optimal for the visitors who came later to stay.

Balancing work with high-quality content, keyword rich content assertive direct traffic to your site while the combination of credibility and trust that your visitors deserve then I take the objectives set for you initially.

Search Engine Advertising

Why is Google Online Advertising a MUST for your business?

Searching for a business in Google is now more common than using the Yellow Pages. With more and more people using search engines to find products and services - you can't afford to miss out on Google exposure with Easy Search Advertising.

Google generates over  6 million searches every month - that's exposure to potential customers that your business needs.

"What is Google Online Advertising?"

Google Online Advertising involves promoting your business on Google using their sponsored listings (search engine advertising). Google is the world's largest and most used search engine and is now the preferred online advertising choice for businesses of all sizes.

Google search engine advertising ensures your business features in the prime view on Google - right at the TOP of the search results in front of potential customers!

In Internet Marketing, Search Advertising is a method of placing online advertisements on Web pages that show results from search engine queries. Through the same search-engine advertising services, ads can also be placed on Web pages with other published.

Search advertisements are targeted to match key search terms (called keywords) entered on search engines. This targeting ability has contributed to the attractiveness of search advertising for advertisers. Consumers will often use a search engine to identify and compare purchasing options immediately before making a purchasing decision. The opportunity to present consumers with advertisements tailored to their immediate buying interests encourages consumers to click on search ads instead of unpaid search results, which are often less relevant. Unpaid search results are also called organic results.

Search Advertising Metrics

Search advertising activities can be measured in five ways:

CPM: Cost per thousand viewers was the original method used for pricing online advertisements. CPM remains the most common method for pricing banner ads.

CTR: Click-through rates measure the number of times an ad is clicked as a percentage of views of the Web page on which the ad appears. Banner ads have CTRs that are generally 0.5 percent or less. In comparison, individual search engine ads can have CTRs of 10 percent, even though they appear alongside organic search results and competing paid search advertisements.

CPA: Cost per action quantifies costs for completing specified activities such as attracting a new customer or making a sale. Affiliate networks operate on a CPA basis. CPA systems function most effectively when sales cycles are short and easily tracked. Longer sales cycles rely on exposure to multiple types of ads to create brand awareness and purchasing interest before a sale is made. Longer sales cycles and sales requiring multiple customer contacts can be difficult to track, leading to a reluctance by publishers to participate in CPA programs beyond initial lead generation.

CPC: Cost per click tracks the cost of interacting with a client or potential client. In traditional marketing, CPC is viewed as a one-way process of reaching target audiences through means such as direct mail, radio ads and television ads. Search advertising provides opportunities for two-way contacts through web-based chat, Internet-based calls, call-back requests or mailing list signups.

TM: Total minutes is a metric being used by Nielsen/NetRatings to measure total time spent on a Web page rather than the number of Web page views. On July 10, 2007, Nielsen announced that they would be relying on TM as their primary metric for measuring Web page popularity, due to changes in the way Web pages provide content through audio and video streaming and by refreshing the same page without totally reloading it. Page refreshes are one aspect of Rich Internet Applications (RIA). RIA technologies include AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and Microsoft Silverlight.
