Why Is Optimizing Your Site For Speed Is Important? Tips On How To Do So!

2006-08-13T22:04:00.000+07:00

If there is one thing we have all suffered through is waiting for a
site to download online. It seems like it is the worse thing in the
world and will never end. We actually either click off of the site or
after the initial download of the frontpage completes, we then click
off of the site because the subpages take too long to load. We have
all been here and this article is to help make sure your visitors
don't go through it as well.

The reason why a websites speed of download is important is actually
very simple and we have broken it down into two parts:

-The first part is that people want to get to where they are going
quickly. This is pretty straight forward and now a days no one seems
to have the time to wait for a site to download(no matter how
important it is).

-The second part is to deliver the content to the user as quick as
possible so that we can keep them interested and entertained. The
quicker they can get to the information the more they will click
around your site and the more they will interact with your website.
This is extremely important if your website has it's own estore, as
the more products your visitors are able to view then the more time
they spend in your store and the better the chance you have of them
purchasing something off of you. Pretty simple and straight forward.

Now you may be wondering how you can take your current design or your
re-design and improve the performance of your website so it doesn't
take forever for it to download. The truth is that it isn't too
complex and actually anyone can follow these steps. Here are some tips
on how to get your website to load faster and why these factors may
cause long load times:

1. Tip one is to use regular html text instead of graphic text(such as
exporting text from a program like fireworks or photoshop). The reason
for this is that html text carries alot smaller kbs size when added to
website design. So anywhere that you use regular text instead of
"graphical text" will really help decrease your page size making the
download time quicker for each user.

2. Tip two is to limit other graphics uses on your website where you
can. Some things such as using a graphic for your logo can not be
avoided but try to make an effort to limit the amount of graphics on
each page. The more graphics you use the higher your page size will be
and the more time it takes to download it. Really graphic intensive
websites can have users waiting a while for everything to download.
Some occasions where it might be ok to use graphics is if they will
also be used on subpages. These graphics will already be cached on
your visitors computers and will not have to be downloaded again when
a person visits your subpages.

3. Tip three is to limit the use of flash. It can make your page take
even longer to load as the kbs size of each file are usually quite
larger then any graphics on your website. This can really increase
download times and in alot of cases is not necessary.

4. The final tip is to try not to nest tables inside of each other.
Try to break down your design and use multiple tables. This way each
table will load separately giving your visitors something to view
while the rest of your site loads. If you load everything into one
table then they will have to wait for the whole main table to load.

Remember the key is to get your users to the information as fast as
possible. If you follow this advice and apply these rules to your
site, then there is nothing saying you can't have a quick loading and
great looking website as well.

How to Get the Highest Search Engine Rankings

2006-08-11T19:21:00.000+07:00

Search Engine Rankings. Everyone wants to be number one, and there are millions of web sites out there. So how do you become number one and stay there consistently? Consistently is the key word here. Sure, you may apply the newest, best trick in the book today, but when someone else comes out with a better one tomorrow, you will be scrambling to get to the top again.

I think one of the keys is to be well-rounded. There are many books and philosophies about web rankings that are floating around. Some people say article marketing is the way to go, others link building, others say you have to maximize your web pages for the search engines. You have to get all your keywords right and your titles and description. But what happens when another web site does you one better in that area? Now you drop in rank. Therefore, I think it is more important that you do a good job in all the areas than to be the very best in one area. And I think it is OK to be number 8 or number 3 in rank, also. If you are in the very top spot and you are clicked simply because the top spot gets more clicks, are you really going to get more sales just because you are number one? Your product and site have to be relevant to the consumer, not just the search engine.

Another key is to focus on very specific keywords. You can do an awesome job in every area of search engine optimization, but if you go too thin here, you will not make it to number one in any of your keywords. Focus on one, or at the most, two keywords. Build your site around those keywords. Be everything you can be to someone who keys in those keywords. Or better yet, one keyword. Would you rather have one keyword that has a number one placement, or 8 keywords with a number 40 placement each? To me, number 40 is like number 1 million-you don't get enough clicks to pay the bills. I would far rather have one keyword for which my site is on the first page of results than twenty that are all over the place. Build yourself a web site that has a strong keyword density-for one or two keywords. Put those keywords in your title and description and keyword lists.

You must have incoming links.
You must have quality incoming links.
You must build incoming links one link at a time.

Links are very important, but you cannot cheat in this area. You must build them one by one. My two favorite methods of link building is to write articles, like this one, and submit them to article directories, and to be included in link directories. Stay away from link farms, large link exchanges, or anything of the sort. The major search engines want to see you build a steady supply of links over time. What do you think a search engine will do for you when you go from 0 links to 3000 in one day? That won't get you to number one, and certainly won't keep you there, when you are put in the sandbox for six months.

These keys to search engine optimization are just a beginning. You need traffic, you need click-thrus in the search engine results. You need visitors to stay at your site for more than a few seconds when they click in. How do you get that? Build real content. Build it for people, not machines--while following the first three keys. Do that, and I believe that in three to six months you will have each web site you set up with this strategy, in the top ten for your keyword.

How To Make Sure That Your Websites Are Fully Crawlable By The Search Engines

2006-08-11T19:05:00.000+07:00

Making sure that your websites are fully crawlable is a key component for any search strategy, especially if you want your sites to rank well for multiple related keyword phrases or different products.
One of the ways that you can insure that a search engine spider crawls your site deeply is to provide it a road map of your site. This road map, called a "site map" is a very simple page (from a design standpoint) that only serves one purpose from a search engine optimizers point of view, to get those interior pages into a search engine's index.
A brief history of site maps . . .
Before site maps were recognized by the search engine optimization community as a tool for good search results, it was used by fortune 1000 companies to help visitors to their site find out where a particular service or product was located.
For example: If you want to do some sort of business with your bank online, you might find that their home page doesn't quite get you to the exact location on their site that you want.
After all, a typical bank might offer car loans, student loans, home loans, credit cards, investment accounts, mutual funds, etc.
If per chance you arrived at this banking site on a page other than the home page, you might get a little turned around from a site navigation standpoint.
So, site maps were created.
What is a site map?
A site map is a page that contains a basic HTML link to every page on that web site. Every page, not just your main topics but every page.
Site maps do not need to be fancy (in fact, it's better if they are not), they just need to contain a logical order and links to all of your pages.
How does this benefit us? Three ways . . .
First, a site map gives your customers an easy navigation system to every page in your web site. Now, don't confuse the use of a site map as a replacement for logical navigation on your regular pages. You want to make sure that your site can be navigated simply and easily from any page on your site.
However, some folks (a very small percentage) prefer to see the entire site's structure on one page and choose their destination from it.
Second, a site map is a fantastic way to get a search engine spider to see and crawl every single page in your site. When optimizing different pages in your web site for different keywords, a Site map is a perfect solution for ensuring that a spider can get to every one of those optimized pages.
Third, and this is big: A Site Map provides an opportunity to send link reputation to a particular page. Now, link reputation is a discussion that's beyond the scope of this aricle, but it is perhaps one of the most important factors in off Page search engine optimization.
You want the links on your Site Map Page to Say the right thing about the pages that they are linking to. It's like a vote. So, make sure that your site map is voting correctly for all of your interior pages.
Fourth, site maps are also an additional way to distribute Google page rank. If your site map is just one link off of the first page, it can pass a significant amount of Google page rank deep into your web site. This helps create a site structure where just about every internal page has the same chance of ranking as well as your home page.

Finally, site maps allow you to use dynamic linking strategies to control where page rank does and does not go throughout your site.
For example, a common mistake is to have a normal link to your privacy policy on every page of your site. In actuality, giving your privacy policy page the same page rank as every other page of the site is a big waste of whatever page rank you have available.
So use a good site map and you will reap the rewards.

Linux Spirit

2006-08-08T06:36:00.000+07:00

I've been a long time dealing with Linux especially Slackware. Till now the newest version is 10.2. I do love it because almost every configuration should be done in manual way using available command.

Now I try to install slackware from very minimal and only put needed things. I try to make the smallest possible slackware version for special purposes.

For example, most cybercafe here use Microsoft Windows XP. They must share directories across the network and at least there's one big directory to put customer's data. Windows XP limits user. In professional edition, it's 10. And in Home edition, it's only 5. So it's impossible for 20 or more clients to write and read at the same time. Then I created minimal Slackware with samba. It mounts Windows XP shares and share them again thru Samba.
Windows XP knows only 1 user connecting, but every customer/client can read and write data freely.

I use umsdos as file system. I also compress them so admin can easily re-deploy if something goes wrong. They don't want to get one computer only for that purpose.
So I suggest to use VMWare. With only 16MB memory (in vmware), it's enough to run the minimal slackware.

I know slackware has zipslack and it's more than 200MB when extracted. My minimalist slackware only 60MB when extracted. It's cool !
