The Slovenian Designer has ignited a low burning flame under Hostmonster, or has he? He just posted a Hostmonster Review on his site that pretty much has many of his readers wondering what is up? Beyond the fact that web hosting reviews are usually the last thing I read, do I really care about how good hostmonster is?

Here’s the catch though, he goes on to telling you how bad they are. That’s right, it’s one of those reviews, or is it?

See, after he complains he goes on to announcing he actually uses hostmonsters web hosting service? I have no idea what this is all about, I don’t think anyone gets it either, he even states it’s not trying to help hostmonster, he doesn’t even have affiliate links on that entire site, or plugs of any kind, just a random act of madness from this young designer.

Hostmonster, thank your lucky starts this guy was drinking when he posted this, or it could have ended up a post minus that last paragraph, which would have just been another bad rep for HM. I’m glad he didn’t all out flame them, I use Hostmonster too, and ive been a happy customer for a couple years now. Fan bo, guilty as charged.

SD mentioned custom trailers in his latest blog post that caught my interest. How they’re suitable for almost any person with a slight budget. These custom trailers are pretty cool because they really do come in all shapes and sizes. So if you’re looking for a trailer then check our Slovenian designers custom trailer post and im sure you’ll learn a lot about what you need to get to make your trailer life a better one!

Saint Dominic University is an online university that focuses on online bachelor degrees and so much more. recently Tucker commented on it, this is a little about what he had to say;

With some of my dev team, we created an intelligent learning platform like no other created before, the first of its kind in the online/offline education industry. It’s a basic concept that has been too complex a program to create, intelligent learning, that is the way of the future.

With advanced software created every day, we developed software that does not require upgrades, or updates, or anything once i has been run for the first time. Our education software evolves and adapts to a students studying habits and learning progress. We’ve created the ultimate learning platform that not only teaches better than real time professors and education instructors, but is also never wrong, ever. The margin of error is so thin when it comes to our programs educational style and techniques that it is truly the best out there. Programming

STDU now runs the software on it’s online learning environment, not only does this enable it to personalize learning styles, different learning passes and difficulty levels for each individual student, but the program gives each student the opportunity to get a full one on one experience with the program, it’s like having a personal professional tutor that’s always right, there for you 24/7 whenever you need help. Never sleeps, always evolves, and always gives you the best and most useful answer.

STDU is truly the ultimate online university for any online degree programs.

Understanding website marketing has never been an easy task for new web owners and webmasters. I’ve started a new blog aimed at providing every website owner with insights on rankings, making money online, tools and tricks as well as new techniques and strategies that will work. Check me out at www.websiteguru.com when you get time!

Website Marketing Basics

Traffic means money pure and simple. The more users that come to your site, for whatever service you provide or product you sell the better. It’s not rocket science is it? Question is how does the average web owner with limited know how in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and online marketing get the traffic they need to run a successful online business and earn good money? Here’s the answer;

Anyone with limited web knowledge can make good money online, they just need a starting point, and here it is. Traffic, that’s all you need, the more traffic the more potential clients/users the better. Ranking on search engines is one way, but to do it right this can be both time consuming and tiring, trust me, I’ve been there. Sure it works, and also does wonders for your business in the long run, but I suggest you start off with funneling traffic so that your site starts making ’some’ income, and then market it full scale and get it ranked for search words and phrases you want to target. So let’s get to the good part, how to funnel traffic, several ways which i’ll list below;

First way, and one a Slovenian Designer friend of mine uses, is by providing small free downloads to people. He’s a designer, therefor spends 15-20minutes a day designing something the web design/graphic oriented users would want to download for free. He then signs up on about 5 high traffic warez/download forums and simply creates a topic, with a screen shot of what he’s providing, or a sample, and a download link that looks like “www.yousite.com/thedownload.zip” That simple, usually you get around 500 unique visits of users wanting to download this design related product, if it’s an ebook then people interested in that ebook, if it’s a service, then people interested in your service. Do this daily for a while and this user base will only increase as you bump up old topics and keep new ones fresh, generating over 2000 unique visitors a day from direct targeted traffic and getting bookmarked by these users which will in turn generate repeated visits, thus consistently growing traffic, all by spending 25min tops a day.

Blogs are a powerful asset, because they help you target low-key phrases and search terms to rank high for and scrape search engine traffic from the small number of people looking for a search phrase, related to your service or product but not exact. Say you sell Hand made mugs, ranking for Mugs will be tough, but ranking for Home Made Mugs, or Find Home Made Mugs, Buy A Home Made Mug, Mugs made at home, hand made mugs…etc will be much easier to rank for, and combined might generate you almost half if not as much traffic as the main strong keyword. It’s common sense.

Just think outside the box, me for example, i’m aiming to rank this blog post for ‘Website Marketing’. As big a keyword as this may seem, I may eventually rank on the first or second page, in which case, mission accomplished ;)
