Choosing The Right Web Host

Choosing the right web host. 3 options

1. Host it in your computer or,
2. Host it on a dedicated server or,
3. Get a web host company to host your website.

If you choose to host in your computer or on a dedicated server, you need to have a fast connection. I don't recommend you to host your website using that unless you making a big website or something.

Use web hosting company. More easier, faster and the best option for first time creating website as they will put your site on their using their own connection. Also, you can access via FTP to upload your files or change your website anytime.

There are 3 types of web hosting company.

1. Dedicated - For big website
2. Paid - For more advantages and features
3. Free - For small and for-fun site

Paid hosting has several advantages over free hosting :

a) Better features in your hosting package
b) Fast and better connections to the Internet and your site will be more reliable
c) Faster and better technical support
d) No banner or ads advertising their services to your site

Paid service is a lot better than a free service. But if you are planning to make website just for fun, free hosting is the best option

Web hosting feature. There's a thousands more feature but below is important feature.

URL Address
- Only important if you don't have your own domain name.
Space - 5 MB is sufficient for small site, 20 MB for big and graphical site. Some hosts offer unlimited space
Bandwidth/Transfer- Total amount of files can be transferred in a month to your site. Get at least 1 GB a month if you have a very small site. I recommend you to use hosts offer unlimited bandwidth.
CGI -BIN - Only if you wants interactive scripts like email form or guestbook.
SSI - Function which allows you to tell the server to include something on your page.
MySQL/PHP/ASP Support - If you are planning to include a database on you site, you need this.
Technical Support - Get at least email technical support for free host. Email, phone and fax for paid host.
FrontPage Extensions - If you use Microsoft FrontPage to build your site, you need this.
SSL/Secure Server - Only if you want to have secure ordering on your website.
Statistics/Log Files - These will give you information about your users.
FTP Accounts - Allow you to access you website to upload files


Paid hosting usually cost between $5 to $50 per month. Dedicated hosting is expensive, over $100 per month and only useful for big website.

Before paying a web host, remember to ask them to list of some sites hosted by them. Visit some of these sites and ask the owner by emailing what they think of the hosting service.

These sites listed below is a web hosting sites. I highly recommend you to use one of the following web host.

1.
BlueHost - $6.95 per month
2. ThinkHost - $7.95 per month
3.
HostGator - $7. 95 per month
4.
HostRocket -$4.95 per month

Choosing Affiliate Program - High Commission

While searching affiliate program on the Internet, most people would join any program as long as the affiliate program is can be trusted. In my opinion, they would be wasting much time on to promote the products or services. And the commission you got for each product is only 2%. What a waste of time. I believe there are some programs on the Internet that the payout is very low. Like ZotSpot. I heard the program is paying you for every search. (pay-per-search) But, theres are lot of people complaining about the payout. The payout is very low, even if you got 1110 downline, you will only earn $300 per year.

You need to search affiliate program that pay you at least 6% of every product sold. I suggest you to join ThinkHost.com, as they pay you 100 dollar per sale. I would also suggest you to join these site :

How to avoid from getting your AdSense account banned.

Recently, a friend of mine who is a member of AdSense, had his AdSense account banned. I ask him if he had clicked his own ads, but he said something terribly happen, that even him, don't know what is the cause.

For your information, Google used a very sophisticated system to detect invalid clicks. And if you have clicked your own ads, they will instantly terminate your account, without giving you any warning. But how does Google detect this? Below are some steps you should follow to avoid your AdSense account banned.

1. IP Address
- If one of the clicks is same (IP Address) as your use to access your account.

2. Click Through Rate
- Click through rate, must be ranges 0.5% to 10%. If the CTR higher than 10%, you will have a high chances to get your account banned.

3. Cookies
- Google has set 'special' cookies on your computer. They can trace these cookies and see if they are originate from the same computer.

4. Location
- Google can trace your traffic patterns by Geo Location. Using a different computers with different IP address does not help you.So, never click your own ads in a nearby internet cafe.

5. Hit And Run
- When you click your own ads and then run away immediately.

5 Tips On Avoiding 'Work At Home' Scam.

1. Never BELIEVE or PAY for the chance to work.
- It is absurd , there are no legitimate company charges employees a fee for a job. However, home-based businesses may require start-up costs to cover investments, materials, franchises, or other costs.

2. Check out the business THOROUGHLY before you pay anything.
- Make sure they have physical address and a phone number. Search on Google and see if you can find any positive or negative comments.

Don't join if the following is positive.

- They use free Web hosting services
- They use free Web email services
- They use Post Office boxes for mailings and don't disclose their real addresses.
- They won't give you a telephone number where you can contact them.

3. Credit card is much SAFER way to pay
- If you don't receive the items, or if things go wrong, you can dispute the charges with your credit card company.

4. Research the market for the proposed business/work.
- With a little virtual footwork, you can see whether you can make money doing this kind of business or work.

5. Beware of vagueness and INCREDIBLE claims.
- Beware of claims that you can"make up to $1,000 a week" doing just a few hours' worth of unskilled work. There is nothing very, very easy job in this world.

3 Ways To Earn More Money By Writing Reviews.

1. Use Your Own Domain Name.

Even though you can get free domain on the Internet, it better to purchase your own domain if you are planning to own that for a long time. Because, blog hosted by Blogger.com or WordPress (Even though there are some popular hosted by them) makes a poor impression when your blog URL is abcdefg.blogspot.com or abcdefg.wordpress.com. Most advertisers think carefully if they want to purchase reviews on the hosted platforms. It will cost you to purchase domain but it will help you to earning more money by reviewing and help you build readership over time.

2. Display Your Visitor Stats.

If your blog has a lot of visitors, you should do that. Feedburner's plugin will do the job. Feedburner allows you to display how many people subscribe to your blog. Of course, you will need to sign up with their service if you want to get that. But, it will help you you if your blog has a lot of subscribers. When an advertiser wanna buy a review from your blog, that is one of the important thing they look for. Indication that the site actually has subscriber.

3. Write Great Reviews.

When you writing reviews, you need to focus the quality. Advertisers will pay you more to review their product or anything if give them quality feedback. Adding pictures should make a impression on the advertiser, as people said 'Pictures mean 1000 words'.
