    Tips for increased productivity, popularity, traffic and quality of your website

    I have some tips for webmasters building their site:

     

    1. Use affiliate site surfing programs (e.g. galactic gold, traffic battle, chain reaction traffic, etc.) with caution (approach with yellow light). I've tried surfing through those, it was BORING! Most sites through those are money making sites, other affiliate programs and well, you get the idea. It may be worth a try, but I don't think it will bring much more traffic, other than clicking the "number" after 30 seconds while glancing at the front page loading :D

     

    2. Define your site's purpose clearly and effectively on your front page. Also, use appropriate pictures, colors and content on your home page to attract visitors. If your site is supposed to be providing content, make sure people know that. If your site is for your pictures, be sure that you show that. Ask friends to check out your site. :D

     

    3. Popular features should be added to your site. Make sure most of the features link to your content. Add forums, blogs, communications stuff and more to your website. You can add Free SMS Service to your website, it is done in PHP, I don't know PHP, can't help you with that. Anyhow, Xisto and Xisto provides an abundance of space to popularize your website. They are the best free webhosts I have ever seen.

     

    4. Put your URI (URL) on business cards, brochures, presentations, posters, etc. Anything you can create with Microsoft Office and OpenOffice that relates to your website and/or is appropriate to put your URL in, DO put it there.

     

    5. Add your URI (URL) to forum signatures and email signatures. If possible, use an image to convey the message. Many people do signatures for forums for free, just ask! Email signatures should be text, they shouldn't be more than 30 bytes of the message.

     

    6. Google AdSense can help you make profits (with ads on your site). Use the ads sparingly on your site, don't go overboard with them. I hate sites that have Google Text Ads in the middle.

     

    7. If you are willing to spend money on Google AdWords, go for it! Again, consider limitations. Google AdWords are blockable by Firefox Extension - AdBlock. And not very many people look at them. Just giving you two sides to the opinion. :D

     

    8. RSS feeds can be helpful if you have frequently changing content. See the W3Schools website for instructions.

     

    9. Absolutely NO pop-ups, large blinking flashing colourful ads, automatic installation of "things", or anything else to drive away visitors. "Things" can range from spyware to add-ons to extensions. If you have a domain name, get a good rating from TrustWorth/GeoTrust and McAfee SiteSdvisor.

     

    10. Develop appropriate add-ons, extensions (for Firefox) and programs to help you grow your website.

     

    11. Word of mouth advertising. Tell people about it.

     

    12. Browser compatibility. When Internet Explorer 7 comes out, it will provide better XHTML 1 compatibility. Make your pages XHTML valid. If you use a WYSIWYG editor, now is the time to learn XHTML and CSS. Your site should be viewable in different browsers, not just Internet Explorer, Firefox and/or Opera or your favourite browser.

     

    13. Optimization. Speed up the loading of your pages if they are slow loading on dial-up. Reduce picture size and avoid big ads and tables for designing. Use CSS and specify image dimensions (height and width). If you use tables to store information, specify width in pixels or percent. Don't use tables for the layout of the page.

     

    14. Entertainment. Provide sources of entertainment and/or appropriate entertainment on your website so people don't get bored.

     

    That is all the tips I can think of right now. If I find any more, I'll either do an edit or start a part 2. I hope this helps. Feel free to reply with your tips.

     

    Thanks for the tips!! These tips will be useful for the newbie to the expert, excellent work!!!

    Well I did landscaping starting when I was 13 making $7 an hour working over the summer and sometimes after school but after this past summer (I'm 15 now) I pretty much stopped working because now that school started again I have no transportation because it was my friend's dad and he would drive me but now he is in college while I'm still in high school. I am currently trying to find another job but it seems for everything you have to be atleast 16 years old even for the simplest places like the Dollar General and the places that hire 15 year olds aren't hiring at the moment.

     


    I am a full time designer for a fairly big graphics house/signwriting company during the week, & at weekends I do door security for a couple of nightclubs in the city.

     


    Plenoptic-If your are old enough to drive then you should try to get you beginners permit and after you had time to pratice and had your permit long enough then you should get your license, so you can get your self a job.

     

    Mjay06-I'm currently working on creating a new message board system and I'm looking for a graphic designer, so if your interested please let me know.

    Ive just read this on yahoo news. Just wanna share this one guys. I'm was just shocked about this one...

    Consumers with modern mobile phones may be shocked to find how easily the sensitive, even embarrassing, information stored in their cell phones can be accessed.

    WASHINGTON - Don't tell your cell phone any secrets. It might not keep them. Second-hand phones purchased over the Internet surrendered credit card numbers and bank account passwords, business secrets and even evidence of adultery.

    The other phones contained:
    _One company's plans to win a multimillion-dollar federal transportation contract.

    _E-mails about another firm's $50,000 payment for a software license.

    _Bank accounts and passwords.

    _Details of prescriptions and receipts for one worker's utility payments.

    The recovered information was equal to 27,000 pages — a stack of printouts 8 feet high.

    Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by luck. Illness, injury, love lost, moments of true greatness and moments of sheer stupidity all occur to the limits of our souls. Without these small tests, be they events or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.
    If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them it wont be easy, but time heals. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious of who you open your heart to. If someone loves you and you love them, love them unconditionally because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to things you would never have felt or seen without them. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can although there are limits, for you may never be able to experience it again.

    Treat people the way you would want to be treated. Make friends with people you enjoy being around and dont get too serious about certain things. Laugh and smile a lot it will make you a pleasant person to be around. When someone speaks to you, actually listen. You can learn a lot by listening to what others have to say.


    I agree with you!! Totally Agree!!

    I must say anyone who claims to be "addicted" to computers should un-plug themselves and get a life. I use my computers for a number of different things including gaming, tv, music, movies, research and plenty of other things. If I didn't have access to a computer I wouldn't really be any worse off, i can use dvd players to play my music and movies and the like. I work with computers but thats not really an addiction (I HATE WORK). and the kind of people who are truly addicted to computers (or the internet really) are loners that can't interact with real people. and that is just sad. we have lost the "communities" we used to have where everyone knew their next door neighbours and all the people they lived near. Now we avoid everybody and are only close to people on the internet that we don't even know properly and the few people we are good friends with.
    sorry if this post offends anyone, i'm just calling it how i see it.


    I agree I now go to college 4 days a week and will have alot of homework, so I won't have alot of computer time.
