Keywords in URLs
We were also asked if it is useful to have relevant keywords in URLs. It’s always a good idea to be descriptive across your site, with titles, ALT attributes, and yes, even URLs, as they can be useful signals for users and search engines. This can be especially true with image files, which otherwise may not have any text for a search engine to consider. Imagine you’ve taken a picture of your cat asleep on the sofa. Your digital camera will likely name it something like IMG_2937.jpg. Not exactly the most descriptive name. So unless your cat really looks like an IMG_2937, consider changing the filename to something more relevant, like adorable-kitten.jpg. And, if you have a post about your favorite cat names, it’s much easier to guess that a URL ending in my-favorite-cat-names would be the relevant page, rather than a URL ending in postid=8652. For more information regarding issues with how Google understands your content, check out our new content analysis feature in Webmaster Tools, as well as our post on the URL suggestions feature of the new Google Toolbar.

Realize the Benefits of Outsourcing Web Hosting Services Today November 13, 2007
Posted by Administrator in : Internet and Business, Web Design, Web Hosting , 4commentsToday, a Web site is part of a company’s identity, and having a
professionally planned, designed, implemented and supported web presence
is one of the important business initiatives now.
vDomainHosting is committed to our customers, and provides a wide range
of solutions for them.
Many companies initially try to establish and operate their own Web sites,
today; outsourcing has become the rule instead of the exception. The first
step is the domain name, then developing a strategy for that website, having
it built, beta tested, implemented and supported. Eventually most will add
ecommerce, security and marketing solutions, and all features that
vDomainHosting can provide.
Outsourcing will save businesses time and money and allow them to focus
on their business. Savings will occur in up front capital equipment costs,
planning and acquisition costs, maintenance and the eventual upgrades to
maintain levels of performance. Allowing these companies to have their
web presence running on secure networking, built with the best hardware
and software, using reliable and redundant infrastructure on high available
bandwidth.
Recognizing your outsourcing solution is a matter of just asking, and
through conversation identifies experienced quality service and the savings
realized as a result of partnering with that company.
Here is a cost comparison for Small Business Web Hosting:
Server Hardware: $1,500 to $4,000
Network Hardware: $2,500 to $4,000
Software: $200 to $1,000
UPS: $550 to $3,000
Maintenance: $1,625 to $3,000
Internet Connection: $1,200 to $14,400
IT staff: $70,000 per year
Up Front Costs: $6,500 to $12,000
Annual Recurring: $72,825 to $87,400
1st year costs: $79,325 to $99,400
With vDomainHosting Small Business Web Hosting, the above items are
included free except for up front costs and annual recurring costs. The
savings are obvious, and the time is now.

You have lots of choices… July 17, 2007
Posted by Administrator in : Internet and Business, Tech Support, Web Design, Web Hosting , add a commentOne more thing, quickly. The moral of the story is upgrade to IE7, Firefox, or Safari if you’re on windows. You have lots of choices, and IE6 is the worst possible one, so if your IE6 still, the wait is over, upgrade your browser to 2007.
