Rich Webmaster, Poor Webmaster - Website tips

January 18th, 2009

To have a presence on the internet, one of the most important aspects to the success of your website is the name of the domain. It is getting increasingly difficult to find a quality name that both represents the contents of your site and can be easily remembered due to the sheer amount of websites on the internet today.

If you are an experienced Webmaster or starting out for the very first time to create your Website then ensure you get the headstart you need with a well chosen domain name.

Domains (usually referred to as Website name) can be purchased outright and some companies now even allow you to rent them.

Our tips for starting out with a Website once you have your ideal Website name are as follows;

(1) Promote your site through search engine submission as you will not get many visitors if no-one knows you exist. Ensure you do not repeat words too much and spend time on your meta tags to ensure you are search engine friendly.

(2) Provide a reason for people to keep coming back to your site by providing cheap or quality goods, information, great tools or fun games.

(3) Don't try to fool people or use pop up windows to try to make sales as this will just detract from their experience of your site and may lead to them never returning.

(4) Bandwidth costs can become expensive if your site proves to be very popular so ensure all of your web pages are optimised and never have a web page that doesn't add value.

Thats enough to start with, good luck.

Being a webmaster is a much more important job than most companies would dare admit. Webmasters are responsible for the company web presence on every level, from the website copy to the web and email server administration. Additionally, webmasters are often tasked even more duties that should be considered unrelated responsibilities for the position of webmaster. These extra duties often will include online as well as offline promotion and marketing, search optimization, advertising, application programming, graphic design and/or brand management. The role of the webmaster has grown over the years and webmasters need to grow with the company's expectations or the website will not succeed. For instance, it is easy to get banned from the search engines for not knowing the correct methods to use to optimize a website for a better results ranking from the search engines for any particular search phrase.

This is why Webmastery is here, not just to offer direction and assist webmasters, but to do so masterfully, as you expect of yourself, or as your company expects out of you.
 

Since I am an American and know only American English and SEO methods, I specialize in American Webmastery. Hence the domain name, Webmastery.US.
 

However, please note that often both sides of the coin are presented here. Some webmasters swear by Linux and we offer articles by such authors to give insight to their creativity. Others are die-hard Microsoft software fans and use Windows based servers. Despite the bias, each system has its own advantages, and such articles are reprinted here for their positive contribution to those platforms, not to enforce their bias. It is we that have to make the final analysis.
 

This difference is even more apparent when I am showcasing and promoting white hat SEO (search engine optimization) and a black hat SEO article is published here, which method if followed could get a website banned from the search engines. The reason I allow it a small platform is to showcase its apparent and obvious idiocy in contrast to white hat SEO techniques. And as I cannot edit these articles in order to correct them, I let their illogicality and stupidity stand on their own for a time without any edits. But in case their spaminess is not apparent, I often do not let such articles stand long.
