SEO Tips

June 15, 2010

Just a heads up. It’s just weird that suddenly all of my sites on a particular Godaddy shared hosting server got this type of error. If ever you will experienced this problem, there’s nothing to worry about. Just send a ticket to their support. I’ll update you on their reply to the support that I’ve sent few hours ago. According to their confirmation message, I should get a response within 6 hours. (sounds good)

UPDATE:

It seems that they’ve messed up with my files, and now they’re telling me that I’ve done wrong with my site. Because after 5 days, I received another error (”Error! Cannot find home”) on their system when I try to open my file manager on same account. Anyway, they told me in order to restore it, is to do the following steps below. If you encounter anything like these at Godaddy shared Linux hosting. These procedures are needed to restore your files. Or if you have time to wait for Godaddy’s response, might as well submit a support ticket to be sure.

Hosting History is a feature in Linux shared hosting that allows you to restore files or directories to their previous state from up to 30 days ago using the File Manager.

Restore a File or Directory

1. Log in to your Account Manager.

2. From the Products section, click Web Hosting.

3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.

4. In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the File Manager icon. Then click the History button.

5. Use the directory tree to navigate to where the file or folder resides that you want to restore.

6. Below the toolbar, click the calendar icon to open the Quick Pick Calendar and select the date where you would like the file or folder restored. The directory list will refresh and display the version of your hosting account from the date selected.

7. Click the check box next to the file or folder you want to restore and click Restore in the tool bar.

8. In the Restore Files or Directories pop-in, select if you want the files to be copied to a new directory, or if you want to rename the files. When you’re finished, click OK.

Your files will be restored with the attributes you selected.

Configuring Outlook Express for Godaddy Email:

1. Log in to Web-Based Email at email.secureserver.net.
2. From the Help menu, select Email Client Settings.
3. Make a note of your incoming and outgoing server information.
4. Continue with the procedures outlined below to set up your email client.

Here’s the story. After configuring my Email Via Outlook Express, I’ve tried to send an email from my Gmail account to Godaddy Email. And It works, I received it on my Outlook Express Inbox. And after that, I’ve tried to send an email from Outlook Express to my Gmail Account. I’ve got an error message which said something like this:

Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server smtpout.secureserver.net failed. The server may be unavailable or refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact your network administrator.

Hmm, not good. So I’ve tried reading some materials on Godaddy FAQ’s and searching it on Google. Looks like I’ve found the answer. I’ve changed the default Port 25 to Port 80 or you can use Port 3535 whatever works for you. If these does not solve your problem in other version of Outlook Express, you can always use other email client program. I recommend Mozilla Thunderbird. You can download it here for free.

Today, I just discovered that I will not received my payout from LinkWorth because there’s a code inserted in my site that says “no follow”. My first reaction was “What the F!”. I’m really upset because I’m not using any of these codes, ever! I’ve checked my robots.txt if there’s something wrong with it, but there’s nothing unusual on the code. So I’ve dig deeper on what could have been wrong with the site. After few minutes, I’ve finally found the answer to my question. It’s probably the Wordpress installation using Fantastico. Not sure what’s wrong with Fantastico, but I have lots of instances that I’ve got “no follow” code on my site inserted when I’ve installed wordpress using Fantastico.

What is Fantastico?

Fantastico is a commercial script library that automates the installation of web applications to a website. Fantastico scripts are executed from the administration area of a website control panel such as cPanel. Fantastico’s web site claims that they are installed on ten thousand servers, with a million users worldwide. from wikipedia

My solution, never use Fantastico in installing your wordpress script to your site. Just install it the traditional way by downloading it on the official download page of Wordpress and you can be sure there will be no script will be inserted in your site without your knowing. Not sure what other scripts have this problem, but for me I’ll stay away from Fantastico from now on. Oh BTW, I came up with these conclusion after fixing about 50+ sites on hostgator and hostpapa server.

One of the most important things to consider by companies venturing into the internet market by putting up a website is to ensure that it is designed or optimized to have the search engines in mind. Despite the fact that companies are aware that their website in order to be profitable have to rank high with search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing but majority of them only consider search engine optimization when the company website is already up or launched.

It is absolutely possible to actually optimize a company website when it is already launched but this only proves to cost more money and consume more time. If your London web developer builds a site with search engine optimization in mind it will save so much time and effort writing the content headers, description and titles. It is also cost effective as a company is already paying for the design and construction why not design it before launching to rank highly and in the process save the time and expenditure in modifying it a short time after to increase its potential.

It takes a well trained professional to know how to design a website that is truly effective and can ensure that the search engine optimization is utilized to the fullest.

The first priority when planning or developing a website is the Home Page. Your home page should encourage visitors to look around and spend some time if not all the time and effort exhausted on Search engine optimization will be ineffective. To have an effective home page it has to be welcoming clear and clean or not overly complicated. Web page titles are commonly overlooked and underrated and are only shown in the browser bar and do not feature on the web page. An element to achieve search engine optimization the element of web page titles also helps in attracting prospective customers and visitors to the website.

SEO web design is very important in the right direction of a successful website. Websites starting off on the wrong foot by not having SEO or search engine optimization in mind can lead to inefficient and unproductive. Building or constructing a website is a process that incurs significant costs and leaving out search engine optimization and adding it on when it has already been launch is an extra or additional expense when it can be done right from the start. It is also a waste of opportunity to effectively build in rank during the time it has been decided to be improved.

Search engine optimization is what is needed for a website to become a success. Big websites have a captured market and does not rely on search engines for traffic. Start up websites rely majority of their traffic comes from searches done on search engines like Bing, Yahoo and Google. When a company or individual wants to develop a website there are certain factors that they have to consider.

Search engine optimization has to be incorporated during the preliminary stages of website development. Existing websites also need to be renovated or to be optimized for search engines to improve their current search engine result list ranking. For small businesses or start-ups, manipulating a website for search engine optimization after it was recently launched is an additional cost that could be utilized for other company expenditures. A lot of time an effort is required for search engine optimization or SEO, it would be more efficient and less costly for SEO to be integrated during website construction and certainly before it is launched.

Search engines use undetermined algorithms and back links to determine the rank of a website in its result list. The more these search engines deem your website as an authority on the key words used in the search the higher your site goes up in ranking. The goal is to be in at least in the first three pages of a search but most ideally on top. The more relevant the back links to your website are the more chances in rising in rank.

SEO is one of the very good ways to utilize search engines to work for you; it will increase your websites’ chances to be noticed by prospective visitors and put you ahead of competitors and reach your target market. Keeping visitors to your site is entirely different from SEO and this example is a simple and usual mistake that does more harm than good for your website. Not answering users’ questions is a common and costly mistake.

Many London website design companies can advise you and address this common mistake. Users are goal oriented in searching the web. The chances of making a transaction are more likely when all possible information is given to the user. Services or products that do not have complete information leave the user hanging and apprehensive because the information that they seek is not present and does not meet their requirements therefore not buying. An example is not putting the price, why would a user purchase an item or service if they do not know how much it costs? Leaving out information on your website, product or service hinders the productivity and success of your site.
