BEFORE GOING LIVE WITH YOUR WEBSITE

By admin • March 2nd, 2009

Before you go live with your website you have to make sure that the major search engines are going to pick up your site. Christopher Heng, atÂ thesitewizard.com explains about making search engines compatible with your computer and your website: â€œFirefox, the Mozilla Suite, Seamonkey and Netscape It’s possible for different versions of Firefox, Seamonkey, Netscape and the old Mozilla browser to all co-exist on the same machine. If you did not already know, Mozilla Firefox, Seamonkey, Netscape 6 to 9 and the (old) Mozilla Suite browser use the same Gecko rendering engine. As such, if you have Netscape 6.X, you are in effect using the rendering engine of a beta version of Mozilla (one of the 0.9.X series); if you use Netscape 7, you are using the Mozilla 1.0.X engine; and if you use Netscape 7.1 you’re using the same engine as Mozilla 1.4. The point is that you don’t have to install, say, Mozilla 1.0.X if you’re using Netscape 7, and so on.Â It is easy to make these versions of Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox co-exist with each other. Install them into separate directories and create a different profile for each browser you install. (For non-Netscape/Mozilla users, this browser allows you to create different profiles so that you can store different settings for different situations.)â€Â For more information on search engines go to the following website: Nationwide MarketingÂ To promote your website you should make links to other popular sites. Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, E-Commerce Consultant writing in Web Marketing Today, June 14,Â 2006 advises: â€œLinks to your site from other sites bring additional traffic. But since Google and other major search engines consider the number of incoming links to your website (”link popularity”) as an important factor in ranking, more links will help you rank higher in the search engines, too. Google has introduced a 10-point scale called Page Rank (10 is the highest rank) to indicate the quantity and quality of incoming links. All links, however, are not created equal. Links from popular information hubs will help your site rank higher than those from low traffic sites.

It is advisable that you do your homework before going live with your new website. You should have a catchy title, content that is keyword rich, a place where visitors can leave feedback, and it is advisable to learn HTML unless you have a computer consultant that does it for you.
