With plethora of hosting companies offering services, choosing a good web host seems an intimidating task. The technical jargon is hard to decipher and that makes it difficult further. It is better to prepare beforehand and then search for offers rather than acting otherwise.

What is web hosting? If one compares the web to land hosing is the place where your office or website will be placed. Server is the computer which stores your website files and allows them to be viewed on clicking the link to your site.

With free hosting out of question for business and dedicated hosting being too expensive, shared hosting is the only and good option for home business. As the name suggests, in shared hosting your site is stored with many others unlike dedicated hosting which stores only your site.

Now let us discuss other features:

•Disc or Server space:

This is the space on hard disk of your server that will be allotted to your site. Without graphics a typical web page occupies 40 - 50 Kb. Now 1000 kb = 1 MB. Allowing space for graphics too and need for any future expansion anything between 50 -100 MB should be good enough if you are not running a flashy website. Many companies offer space up to 1 GB (1000 MB) but if you do not require, do not fall for the offer.

•Bandwidth:

A very important aspect and often overlooked. This is the amount of actual data that can be transferred from the web server that holds your website. It is directly linked to the number of visitors to your site. If you have 10000 visitors per month with few downloads you will require anything between 5 -6 GB per month. More downloads means higher requirement. As your business grows you will need more. For starting 10 GB should be good enough. That leaves you with extra margin.

•E- Mail aliases:

This lets you formulate an e-mail address on your site address e.g. anything@ your sitename.com where anything can be support, live support, help, info, subscribe etc. Anything! This makes your business look professional. Look for you needs but anything around 10 is good enough. Many companies offer unlimited aliases too.

•Watch for these too:

If you plan to accept payment on your side an access to SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption is must. If you want your site to be interactive you would need to install cgi(Common Gateway Interface). So better to look for a host who supplies you your own cgi bin.

If you wish to create your site in Microsoft FrontPage then check whether your host provides FrontPage extension. If you plan to run a site with database then MySQL should be a desired feature.

Your host should also provide you free access to your server. You should have free access to log files and statistics of the traffic your site receives. If your host offers referral programme it is better.

•Customer Support:

This matters a great deal to your business. You will need this help whenever you run in trouble. If your host is not supportive or is not prompt enough then it could mean loss in your business. See that you are provided a good and meaningful support. Send them a question or two. Study the response. Find out if they are available on phone in case you are in emergent situation.

Make sure that this service is free and they will not charge anything in name of customer support.

Finally, you will have to find what matches your business needs. Search before you settle for a deal. Narrow down your choice to a few prospective hosts. Look for their reputation. Ask them examples of sites hosted.

Check with their existing clients and find how satisfied they are. Most good business hosts are available between $ 15- 50 with few differences that could matter to the individual.

You can start small and upgrade later provided your host gives you this option. Select the one who allows you to expand if the need arises.

Just two words before you go. “Select carefully”

If you have a website or plan to have one and you don’t know how
to write articles, you need to start learning how to write
articles, download articles from other authors (Have in mind
that if you download articles from other authors you need to
follow some rules. One of them is that you can’t change anything
on the article and that you need to have the author name on the
article) or the other choice that you have is that you need to
pay someone to write articles for your website.

If you want inbound links to your site one way to do this
without paying is writing articles and post them in different
sites that allow you to submit articles. Make sure you submit
your article on the right category and also make sure you write
the articles according to their terms. If you don’t follow the
terms then you won’t have your article publish.

One advantage that you can get with writing articles is that if
your article get submitted that is an automatically inbound link
to your site without having to add a link on your site to them.
Also a lot of people will read your article and some of them
will download your article for content on their site. Think
about this for one second “This means for every person that
download your article and add the article for content to their
site you’ll get an inbound links to your site”. Don’t you think
this is a good start?

So if you are not that good with writing articles you have
couple options, link popularity,
Link Exchange or Inbound Links. I think if you want to have a
good website you need to combine all of them together but as a
webmaster you always have your choices. I hope this article
helps you to understand more about How writing articles will
benefit to your website.

Dan Kennedy once said that if you can’t make money without money… then… you won’t make money with money either.

Those words swirled in my brain over and over. Then, one fine day, I decided to test them out. Here’s what I did:

I was running my own promotions and noticed that the Internet was beginning to unfurl. A little voice in the back of my head told me I had better jump into cyberspace.

But I did not have a website to promote my services. So the question was, “How do I get copywriting clients without spending money?”

So, I wrote an email and sent it to about 20 Internet “big hitters”. That email earned me over $45,000 in about one year.

The reason it cost nothing is because I sent it from the library.

And so, I proved Dan Kennedy’s words true, that you could, in fact, make money without spending money.

However, I don’t recommend you do what I did. Because sending unsolicited email is not a good idea. Of course, I did have one advantage. I was contacting people who were interested in copywriting so they were not going to report me to the “Internet SS”.

One of the “big hitters” I contacted - who I owe a great debt of gratitude - is “Mr. Fire” himself, Joe Vitale.

A few days ago, he referred me to Chris Ellington of www.ArticleMarketer.com.

After reading his website I can tell you this: Article marketing, done right, is one of the best no cost tools to promote a website you will ever discover.

Notice that I said… If You Do It Right!

What does that mean?

Well, you really have to know how to write articles so that they are both informative and get people to your website.

Which means understanding the two-fold purpose of writing articles:

1. To present yourself as an expert on your topic… and…

2. Get people to read your “resource box” and click the website link.

And you need to find the best way to get your articles distributed. There are basically two ways. Either you sign up for access to ezines that accept articles… or… you “hire” an article distribution service.

If you go the first route you are going to manually send articles out. This is both tedious and unnecessary.

Because www.ArticleMarketer.com has a free article distribution service option. They also offer two paid options for greater exposure. Which are dirt cheap.

Go to www.ArticleMarketer.com and read over the website. Take a look at the options they provide. I can almost guarantee that no matter what you sell this strategy will work for you too.

Individual investors are intimidated by overly complex IR sites and need simple summaries of financial data. Both individual and professional investors want the company’s own story and investment vision.

Investor relations (IR) is one of the “Big Four” standard components of a corporate website (along with public relations, employment, and “About Us”). In the modern world, investors assume that they can go to www.company.com to research a current or potential investment.

While companies must provide IR information to attract and retain investors, they must also be realistic about the types of content and features that users need most. Simplicity and a coherent story about the company are better than drowning users in incomprehensible data.

User Research

To assess the usability of corporate websites’ IR information, we conducted a series of user studies in four cities in the U.S. and the U.K.: New York, Boston, San Diego, and London. We chose these cities because they include both main centers of the investment business and more mainstream locations. We tested a total of 42 users: 28 individual investors and 14 professionals (institutional investors, financial analysts, and financial journalists).

We observed users as they performed investment-oriented tasks on 20 company websites, selected to cover a range of industries and countries: Allied Domecq (UK), Biogen, Ceridian, Home Depot, InFocus, Interpublic Group, Johnson & Johnson, Labor Ready, Novo Nordisk (Denmark), Pacific Sunwear of California, Palm, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology (Germany), Rowan Companies, Royal Bank of Scotland (UK), Stora Enso (Finland), Symantec, Starbucks, Tyson Foods, UPS, and Vodafone (UK).

When asked to go to a company’s website to research it as a potential investment, 40% of our test users guessed the URL, 36% used Google, and 24% used other search engines and Internet directories. This finding emphasizes the importance of having a guessable domain name and good visibility in the main search engines.

Success Rate

We asked users to find answers to nine specific IR-related questions on the websites. On average, users successfully completed 70% of these tasks.

This compares favorably with our other recent Web usability studies, which typically recorded success rates between 55% and 65%.

Not surprisingly, the professionals scored higher than the “amateurs” in this study. The average success rate for the investment professionals was 75%, whereas the average success rate for the individual investors was 67%.

Despite these relatively high scores, there is still substantial room for improvement: 35% of users couldn’t get a copy of the company’s latest quarterly report, and 77% couldn’t find the high/low share price for an earlier quarter — both very fundamental IR tasks.

Investment Professionals

We tested three categories of professionals: institutional investors who work for mutual funds or other companies that invest large sums; financial analysts and advisors who recommend investments to others; and journalists who write about finance for business publications or major newspapers.

All of the professional users had the same general conclusion: They would not rely on a company’s own website for most finance data. Instead, they would use the specialized services that their companies subscribe to, such as Bloomberg, Reuters, and First Call. Investment professionals often rely on downloading large amounts of financial data into their own modeling tools or spreadsheets, and they prefer doing so in standardized formats from a single source so that they can easily compare multiple companies.

This does not mean that companies can ignore professionals when putting IR information on their own websites, but it does mean that companies must be resigned to having their websites play a secondary role in satisfying professionals’ information needs.

Interestingly, even though professional users despised overly promotional or marketing-oriented information on company websites, they did appreciate getting the company “spin” through such things as recent CEO speeches that outlined goals and prospects. Professionals wanted management’s vision of where the company was going, along with a brief company background and overview of recent news. Basically, they wanted the company’s past, present, and future summarized in a way that told the story behind the numbers.

Individual Investors

Typically, private investors don’t have access to professional data services, even though they often get data from their broker’s website or from services like Yahoo Finance.

Individual investors are often intimidated by the vast amount of financial data available, even from these simplified services. While they expected websites to offer annual and quarterly reports, they admitted that they spent very little time reading them.

Companies can help individual investors by presenting simplified views of financial data and summarizing the highlights. Although you must offer more detailed data as well, users commented positively on websites that summarized essential stock information on a single page.

Individual investors also wanted the company to tell them a story about its potential as an investment. Key questions include:

Where does the company come from?

What is it doing now?

What are its innovation and research prospects?

What is its vision?

Note, however, that there is a difference between telling a credible, interesting, and concise story, and junking up people’s browsers with superficial hype and marketing-oriented language. It’s a fine line, but an important one if you want to convince investors of your company’s prospects.

Standard Information Architecture

In most of our projects, we provide guidelines for interaction design and for principles of information design. We usually cannot recommend the specific website structure, nor can we specify the labels needed for navigation systems. Consider, for example, a company that sells five different kinds of X-ray machines for dentists, and a company that sells 10,000 different kinds of pumps and valves for OEMs. These two companies require very different information architectures for their website’s product areas.

In contrast, shareholders and potential investors visiting a website’s IR area have similar tasks, regardless of the company type. Also, the information that must be supplied to satisfy users’ needs is much the same.

Because users and their tasks highly overlap for websites’ IR areas, we can recommend a standard information architecture based on our research of users’ information needs and navigation behavior. If all websites organized their IR information accordingly, it would be substantially easier for users to research investments.

We actually recommend three different, but related, information architectures, depending on the resources a company wants to devote to online IR. These low, medium, and high designs gradually add more features based on the priorities we derived from user research. With limited resources, it’s best to focus on the features that users need most, and implement them well, rather than clutter the site with many poorly designed features.

Simple Information Design

IR areas are plagued by PDF files, probably because they’re a cheap way to put annual reports online. It is indeed helpful to let users download full reports, and you can save a lot of money when people make their own printouts rather than requesting printed material by mail. But to view information online in a way that lets them rapidly understand key information, users need simpler formats that don’t require them to slowly page through presentations that are optimized for print rather than interaction.

In our study, interactive stock charts were much prized, but often so difficult to manipulate that users couldn’t get the overviews they wanted. To be useful to individual investors, graphing features and labels must be simplified; professionals are going to use their own high-end tools anyway.

Potential For IR on the Web

IR is a natural for the Web. Investments are all about information, as the growth of online brokerage services shows. Similarly, companies can provide many types of IR services as self-service — at hugely reduced costs — as long as the user interface is sufficiently easy.

Investors, both individual and professional, want more than just the data that independent services can provide. They want the company’s own story and investment vision. What they don’t want is to wade through complex or irrelevant information.

Balancing all this is the challenge for the IR user experience: You must provide both simplicity and vision, connect with investors without antagonizing them, and serve both professionals and people with little financial knowledge. To achieve this balance, your design must focus on users’ needs.

1) Physical Product

If you sell a physical product, your customers must either be able to buy your product directly from your website or request more information about your product from your website. Check out services like Clickbank, and Prostores to find out the best means of selling your wares.

2) Service

If you offer a service, your customers need to understand exactly what your service entails, and what differentiates you from the competition, within the first few lines on your website. In addition, you need to give your customers a reason to part with their contact details and other personal information so that you can build up your database. Additional ‘Free Information Product’ revenue generation methods detailed below may also be relevant.

3) Free Information Product

If you offer a free information product, your product needs to be interesting, informative and relevant to the consumer. It also needs to be based on in a field where you can monatize (generate a revenue stream from) your content and offer relative products and services based on contextual adverts like Google Adsense or the Yahoo Publisher Network. Affiliate links from brokers such as Commission Junction and pay per click impulse merchandising specialist, Chitika should also be considered.

4) Information Product for sale

If you wish to offer an information product for sale, you need to be a specialist in your field, with a unique angle in a marketplace willing to pay for new information. However, you still have to give some content away for free. You have to whet your readers’ appetite for more. A good idea is to aim to collect email addresses to begin with. Then you can stay in touch with your future customers until they make a purchase. When aiming to sell an information product, you can still use contextual and affiliate advertising. But bear in mind where the majority of your income comes from. Make sure that you test whether or not conversion rates mean that you should actually be giving away everything away free and relying on advertisements for your income.

5) A Combination of the above

Offering a combination of the above may appeal to more consumers and help you gain a faster and stronger reputation in the marketplace. However, unless you’re able to concentrate full-time on this project you’re probably better to focus on as precise and unique a proposition as possible.

When everything’s settled after the seller has posted a product
in eBay, there’s only one thing that needs to be accomplished:
payment mode.

When selling something, the most important thing a seller must
consider is how he or she shall be paid. This is a very risky
decision since a lot of fraudulent activities in eBay involve
payment.

PAYPAL

This is the most common way of paying a seller on eBay.

PayPal is an online business that facilitates the transaction of
transferring a monetary amount between a merchant account and an
online buyer. Because it is electronic, it is basically a
paperless transaction.

It was in October 2002 when PayPal was purchased by eBay.
Before, PayPal was just a choice of most eBay users, whether
it’s a buyer or a seller. The other choices that time involves
eBay’s subordinate, BillPoint.

However, due to a relative percentage of PayPal, being the most
widely used mode of payment by almost fifty percent of eBay
buyers and sellers, eBay had eventually phased out BillPoint and
concentrate more on PayPal.

Right now, there is another company that is in the same line of
business like PayPal. This competitor is known as BidPay. There
had been reports that a number of eBay buyers and sellers resort
to this kind of payment scheme.

ESCROW

For high-priced items, eBay recommends that the method of
payment should be with an eBay approved escrow service like the
one that can be found at www.escrow.com

Buyers and sellers should take note that there are fake escrow
companies lurking in eBay. Hence, it’s important to detect if
the escrow company that the buyer and the seller deals with is
approved by eBay.

EBay recommends that sellers, as well as buyers, should only
contact eBay approved escrow companies like escrow.com for
Canada, U’.S., and U.K. eBay users; escrowaustralia.com.au for
eBay users in Australia; escrow-europia.com for eBay users in
Spain and Italy; ebay.iloxx.de for German eBay users; and
tripledeal.com for eBay users in France, Netherlands, and
Belgium.

EBay strongly warns its buyers and sellers not to do transaction
concerning wire transfers like the Western Union. This is a very
unsafe mode of payment because it does not guarantee the
concerned person that the process will be smooth.

So, it’s best for every seller and buyer on eBay to opt for the
mentioned payment methods so as to be sure of an honest and
reliable business transaction. Besides, eBay will protect the
sellers and buyers if the transactions were made under these
approved eBay mode of payment.

To be successful with your web site, you must stand out from
your competition.

The competition is tremendous on the Internet. How many web
sites are you competing with? How do you make your site stand
out from those other web sites? And more importantly, how can
you get your prospects to buy from you instead of one of your
competitors?

Simple, you do that by emphasizing how you’re different and
better. Marketers call it “USP” or “Unique Selling Proposition.”

Instead of copying everyone else, separate yourself from your
competition and develop a web site that distinguishes you from
all the others. Focus on what makes you unique; attract your
audience with a benefit that is different from everyone else’s;
and provide a distinct advantage or offer.

But first, determine what makes your business unique. Here are
some questions to help you establish what sets you apart:

* Why should prospects buy from you instead of your competitors?
* What are the most important benefits or results your customers
will get from your services? * What do you do better than anyone
else? Do you possess hard-to-find or specialized expertise? * Do
you offer a free consultation, initial visit, analysis, or
better advice? * What makes your services better, more unique,
or more desirable than your competitors? * Do you have the
lowest prices or the highest quality products in your industry?
* Do you provide the fastest service, the strongest guarantee,
longest hours, or better follow up? * Do you keep customers
informed with newsletters? * Do you target a different audience?

After determining what’s unique about your products and
services, you can emphasize this uniqueness on your web site and
set yourself apart from your competition. Here are some ways to
accomplish that:

* Provide your USP, benefits, and site description at the top of
the page. * Use words and images to make your site unique. *
Target your audience in your headline and first paragraph. * Use
benefits that appeal to your audience. Talk their language. *
Create a unique design. Design a custom web header and product
images, such as an ebook cover or CD cover.

Give your prospects a reason to buy from you instead of a
competitor’s web site. Study your competition and then be
different, look different, and give them benefits the others
don’t.
