Having someone reliable hosting your website is very important, there is nothing worse than potential customers trying to view you website just to find it’s “down”. So it is very important that you do your research for the right webhost, search the internet, ask friends where they host their site(s) and if you have someone design your site, ask them for their honest opinion.

Web hosting can be very cheap, but don’t always get misled by low prices, remember, promising the world is easier than giving the world ( I just made that up, but I like it!! )
A good thing thing to do, is once you have decided on a few potential hosts, send them a support email and see what the response time is.. remember, in real life your site might be down, so if it takes hours or days for a reply, just move on to the next one, a response ticket should be answered within an hour. Also, check the hosts web site for “Live Chat” this can be a huge bonus when you need support NOW!!

I have been hosting websites for 8 years now, and I have seen quite a few hosts come and go, and I definately got my education from the “School of Hard Knocks” when it comes to hosting websites.

Believe me, there are a lot of good hosts out there, but there are a lot more bad ones, I personally host my sites at  Interactive Online  I have found them to be very reliable, affordable,  very important, knowledgeable when it comes to solving problems.

All I can say, is check them out, and see if they fit your bill.. but I’m sure they will… just click on the banner.

Search engine optimization (SEO), considered by many to be a subset of search engine marketing, is a term used to describe a process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines, usually in “natural” (”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. Those efforts may also be seen in more narrow vertical search engines involving areas such as local search. Many site owners and consultants engaging in SEO attempt to pursue qualified visitors to a site, and the quality of visitor traffic can be measured by how often a visitor using a specific keyword phrase leads to a desired conversion action, such as making a purchase, viewing or downloading a certain page, requesting further information, signing up for a newsletter, or taking some other specific action.

So, now we know that SEO is important, very important, we all know that if you want your website seen it will have to be in the first 5 pages, but ideally in the first two.
Sometimes having one site and trying to get it high on the rankings can be a very daunting task, but spending a few hours a week working on SEO, you will notice a difference, but to get real results you will need both SEO and relevant linking to and from your site.
