So how to make your web-site visible for the public? How to be number 1 on Google for your niche? There is a special technique called search engine optimization (or SEO) which was developed to achieve a high ranking in search engines results.

If you have a spare time, you may want to learn basic tricks for optimizing your web page. For example link building and text optimization. But from my point of view it is better to leave it for professionals.

There are dozens of people who offer help in search engine optimization, but how to understand who is really good in that?

Where to choose the right hosting provider?

Hello everyone! I’ve decided to post a review I’ve received today from one person.  I think it may help some of you when you will be choosing a hosting providers for your web-sites.

“Sooner or later every man who takes up internet business or has something to display in internet encounters the problem of web hosting selection. I was not the exception. I surfed the net looking for hosting for my company web site and tried a lot of cheap variants, which caused a lot of technical and financial problems afterwards.
Getting tired of such inconveniences, I’d lost hope of finding the hosting I need, I tried a search engine, where I entered best web hosting word combination and ran into this site (www.thetop10bestwebhosting.com). I was greatly amazed by the amount of general information about web hosting, the ways how to define best hosting provider, the features, which should be paid attention to when choosing such provider. Though, the most important thing I understood, having read the articles this site provides, was the answer to my question why cheap hosting is the worst selection for guys having a company web site.
Another thing I noticed was an easy navigation, user friendly design and most importantly the way of information presentation, which is suitable for companies running internet business of any type. I noticed a lot of useful nuances which I want to apply in my business and my company site. Being overwhelmed a little bit with such load of useful and necessary information I have forgotten for a moment the reason I came to this site – to chose the hosting I need.
Having read just host review and reviews about Ipage hosting confirming them to be the best, based on other customers opinions, I started thinking which one to chose as their technical features, technical and customers support and fees to be paid may attract anyone who cares about the business. I decided in favor of ipage as it says to be for beginners like I am. I’ve made the right choice.”

Another Social Network Plugin for WordPress

Ok, let’s go back to my favourite subject – creating your own social network using WordPress. I wrote about Buddy Press – wordpress social network software already. Today I’ve found another plugin for the same purpose. It is called Mingle. Mingle has almost all features that ere necessary for creating nice social network and may be implemented in almost every WordPress theme. This is a bug plus, because Buddy Press can be used only with it’s own theme. So if you want to change design for social network created by using Buddy Press, you have to employ a programmer and pay some extra money. With Mingle you don’t have such problem. However, from my point of view, Mingle is a bit more simple – it does not have all features that are implemented in Buddy Press, plus needs some time to set it up properly (Buddy Press can be installed with one click of the mouse). Anyway, it is worth looking on both of them before choosing the one that suits your needs.
