What is a Backlink?
What’s all this hoopla over backlinks? Every SEO forum and blog you stop by is constantly touting the power and necessity of backlinks so they must be a pretty big deal!

X-Shops: Fast and Reliable Ecommerce hostingBy Nick Stamoulis
It’s a rarity for businesses to not operate a website these days. Even small mom-and-pop shops that began long before the era of the Internet have gone digital, albeit some were a little more hesitant than others. But while launching a website – whether for a multi-national, billion Dollar Corporation or the local pizza place – may be easy, to have that website actively help grow the business is another matter all together.
Simply having a website (one among the ever-expanding billions) isn’t enough to earn a business any attention, promote its brand or grow its profit margins.

Planning is very important before you start any project. Starting a website is not an exception.
Experts will tell you that much work needs to be done, in terms of planning, before you begin putting up a website that would be successful. Out of experience, I agree with that totally.
I didn’t mean to scare you. Take a look at the number of websites that come up each day. Have you ever stop to think how many of them are actually successful?
Sincerely, many do not get to see the light of day. This is due to various reasons, which I cannot tell you in just one newsletter, but one of such reasons is a poor domain name selection.
And I don’t think you want your site to be one of such sites I am talking about? Obviously not! You can be the wise one to learn from the mistakes of other.
I have put together an e-book that would arm you with the necessary knowledge to make a wise decision in selecting a domain name.
How much does the book cost?
It is FREE of charge! No strings attached. Yes, I’m not kidding.

Before I forget, happy new year!

You might have seen several web addresses on the internet with a small logo or icon besides them and may be wondering how you can do that to your site. It is pretty easy and simple!
What you see is called a FavIcon in short of “Favorite Icon”. It helps identifies your site whenever it is loaded in the address bar.
To the best of my knowledge, all modern browsers support and can display favicons.
Creating FavIcons
First, create your logo with a .ico extention and save with the name favicon.ico.
There are many free software online that you can use in creating icons. Just browse for one of such.
Be mindful of the size, its important. The size of the icon should be either 16 x 16 or 32 x 32 pixels.
Secondly, upload your icon to the root folder of your web hosting server e.g WWW folder or something similar to that.
And finally, write the following HTML codes between <HEAD>…</HEAD> tags:
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico” >
and upload your page(s).
