By adding website pages, blog posts and articles online about your business niche, you increase the number of links to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you write consistently on your website or blog, you add more pages to be indexed by search engines.  More pages gives you potential to be found by potential customers because search engines tend to put websites that grow more towards the front of index results. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing articles gives your website backlinks which is another way that search engines measure the value of a site.  The more backlinks you have, the better search results you will tend to receive.  Try to write about your business niche in order to have more useful information online to aid your potential customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing often can bring your website more traffic.  Writing often to increase traffic to your website could get your more return visitors, referrals, customers and clients.  Getting website traffic is the first step to getting more business, and writing often to increase that traffic is a great free way to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read my blog post: &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/01/write-articles-to-promote-your-business.html"&gt;Write Articles to Promote Your Business&lt;/a&gt; or my full article: &lt;a href="http://www.articlealley.com/article_1318758_50.html"&gt;Write Often to Increase Website Traffic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/customer" rel="tag"&gt;customer&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/generate+traffic" rel="tag"&gt;generate traffic&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/increase+traffic" rel="tag"&gt;increase traffic&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/potential+customer" rel="tag"&gt;potential customer&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/traffic" rel="tag"&gt;traffic&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/website" rel="tag"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/website+traffic" rel="tag"&gt;website traffic&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/write" rel="tag"&gt;write&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/writing" rel="tag"&gt;writing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Get tips and advice for small business custom or standard website designs including blogs, cms, or e-commerce.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6451541905019344744-5285218980531845129?l=www.coderepair.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/5285218980531845129/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6451541905019344744&amp;postID=5285218980531845129' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/5285218980531845129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/5285218980531845129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/03/write-often-to-generate-website-traffic.html' title='Write Often to Generate Website Traffic'/><author><name>Roger Degerstrom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14612752897751278136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09129480382268641942'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451541905019344744.post-8311170710408481523</id><published>2010-02-28T12:56:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-01T16:12:57.048-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='advice'/><title type='text'>Backup and Update Your Wordpress Blog</title><content type='html'>You can backup and update your Wordpress blog very easily.  On your administrator dashboard, when you get notifications of a new version of Wordpress saying what the new version is, just click on that link to get started.  Then you will have the option to backup your blog posts, that is up to you.  I backup my blog posts in notepad anyway, and backing up is a good idea in case something ever goes wrong with your blog host.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you will see two options, download the update or automatically update, and I suggest the automatic update.  Once you click the automatic update, just sit back and let Wordpress do the rest.  In a couple minutes you'll have your updated version of Wordpress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, you might see a red square with a number next to your plugins on the left column of the Wordpress dashboard.  Click on those to activate them again, but there is really no reason to activate the "Hello Dolly" plugin, unless you want lines from Hello Dolly to show up on your blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn more about &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/10/wordpress-advantages-over-blogger.html"&gt;Wordpress Advantages Over Blogger&lt;/a&gt; and a &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/10/blogger-to-wordpress-blog-conversion.html"&gt;Blogger to WordPress Blog Conversion&lt;/a&gt; that I did for &lt;a href="http://jackmasterson.com/"&gt;Masterson Construction&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/backup" rel="tag"&gt;backup&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/wordpress" rel="tag"&gt;wordpress&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/wordpress+blog" rel="tag"&gt;wordpress blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Get tips and advice for small business custom or standard website designs including blogs, cms, or e-commerce.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6451541905019344744-8311170710408481523?l=www.coderepair.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/8311170710408481523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6451541905019344744&amp;postID=8311170710408481523' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/8311170710408481523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/8311170710408481523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/02/backup-and-update-your-wordpress-blog.html' title='Backup and Update Your Wordpress Blog'/><author><name>Roger Degerstrom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14612752897751278136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09129480382268641942'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451541905019344744.post-4656495621046619839</id><published>2010-02-24T22:21:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-01T13:48:08.312-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='advice'/><title type='text'>Types of Malware</title><content type='html'>The main types of &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/09/what-is-malware.html"&gt;malware&lt;/a&gt; include adware, backdoor, heuristic, rogues, trojans, viruses and worms.  Each of these have their own level of danger and degree of maliciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adware or spyware is a small program designed to show advertisements on your computer.  Often adware reports personal information back to its owners and as a result your privacy could be violated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Backdoor programs are used to gain access to a computer bypassing its security programs, giving the attacker unlimited rights.  Backdoor programs can spy on a user and install other malware on a computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heuristic detection is a technique to detect malware by empirical means without having the specific data, based on observing the behavior of the suspect malware, or perhaps even the pattern of what it does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rogue programs are malicious programs that are disguised as a trustworthy anti-spyware program or registry cleaner.  These programs are put on the market to scare you into buying them because they either make claims about the safety of your computer, give erroneous scan results or install their own malware on your system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A trojan horse is a malicious program that pretends to have a particular function, but is actually destructive.  Trojans cannot multiply themselves like a virus or worm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A virus is a malicious program that multiplies and is capable of attaching itself to other programs after being executed.  Viruses then cause an infection causing various degrees of damage to your computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worms are often characterized as a malicious application that uses a host machine to infect others. Therefore worms can create enormous damage on networks with multiple computers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing the main types of &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/09/what-is-malware.html"&gt;malware&lt;/a&gt; could be helpful to understand what kinds of dangerous software could threaten your PC.

Choosing the proper way to drive traffic to your website involves research, although I tend to lean towards &lt;a href="http://www.earticlesonline.com/Article/Natural-Methods-Of-Search-Engine-Optimization/702214"&gt;Natural Methods of Search Engine Optimization&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay Per Click advertising is used on websites to increase traffic by paying for keyword phrases related to a target market.  Advertisers pay their host only when their ad is clicked on and usually use a fixed price per click rather than a bidding system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/03/natural-methods-for-seo.html"&gt;natural methods of search engine optimization&lt;/a&gt; tends to be a more permanent method to have a website that is indexed well in search engines.  By obtaining the &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/03/keyword-optimization-tips.html"&gt;proper keywords&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/03/keyword-optimization-tips.html"&gt;keyword density&lt;/a&gt;, updated original content, &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/01/checking-your-inbound-links.html"&gt;inbound links&lt;/a&gt; and avoiding duplicate content in your website, there is no need to pay for PPC advertising.

Try &lt;a href="http://www.textem.net/"&gt;Textem&lt;/a&gt; now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also try these computer to text websites:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ipipi.com/"&gt;ipipi.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.textmagic.com/app/gwo/cmd/home"&gt;TextMagic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.txtdrop.com/"&gt;txtDrop.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whitepages.com/text"&gt;WhitePages Text&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mobile" rel="tag"&gt;mobile&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mobile+phone" rel="tag"&gt;mobile phone&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/text" rel="tag"&gt;text&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/texting" rel="tag"&gt;texting&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/text+message" rel="tag"&gt;text message&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/text+messaging" rel="tag"&gt;text messaging&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Get tips and advice for small business custom or standard website designs including blogs, cms, or e-commerce.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6451541905019344744-8491752005624833721?l=www.coderepair.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/8491752005624833721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6451541905019344744&amp;postID=8491752005624833721' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/8491752005624833721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/8491752005624833721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/01/free-texting-from-your-computer.html' title='Free Texting From Your Computer'/><author><name>Roger Degerstrom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14612752897751278136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09129480382268641942'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451541905019344744.post-4190775513999538887</id><published>2010-01-22T13:57:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-22T14:02:44.456-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='promotion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='advice'/><title type='text'>Projecting a Positive Business Image</title><content type='html'>Projecting a positive business image is important when interacting with your potential customers online.  You should define an online presence that is both professional and attractive.  You want your online peers to take you seriously and want to contact you to enquire about your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When using social media, be sure that you use the most professional photo possible for a positive first impression to potential customers.  Use an appealing background to attract your online peers to be interested in doing business with you.  Don't use pictures taken in such a casual setting that your potential clients will think you are lacking a business demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projecting a positive business image allows your online presence to be taken seriously.  You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and if you make sure that your photos are professional, you might have an easier time attracting potential customers to your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/business" rel="tag"&gt;business&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/business+image" rel="tag"&gt;business image&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/positive+business" rel="tag"&gt;positive business&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/positive+business+image" rel="tag"&gt;positive business image&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/potential+customer" rel="tag"&gt;potential customer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Get tips and advice for small business custom or standard website designs including blogs, cms, or e-commerce.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6451541905019344744-4190775513999538887?l=www.coderepair.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/4190775513999538887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6451541905019344744&amp;postID=4190775513999538887' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/4190775513999538887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/4190775513999538887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/01/projecting-positive-business-image.html' title='Projecting a Positive Business Image'/><author><name>Roger Degerstrom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14612752897751278136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09129480382268641942'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451541905019344744.post-6342757715467138524</id><published>2010-01-21T23:34:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-21T23:34:00.220-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reviews'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='promotion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='websites'/><title type='text'>Identify Foreign Languages Online</title><content type='html'>Sometimes translating a language online could be difficult if you don't know what language you are trying to translate.  These &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/foreign-language.html"&gt;language detecting tools&lt;/a&gt; make the task much easier by telling you the name of that foreign language.  Then once you identify what language you are trying to translate from, you could use these &lt;a href="http://coderepair.com/translate-text.html"&gt;tools to translate text and website pages&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply copy and paste the text into the search box of these language identifiers in order to be on your way to translating unidentified foreign languages.  Some of the most popular tools I have found online include &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/uds/samples/language/detect.html"&gt;Google Translate&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.whatlanguageisthis.com/"&gt;Whatlanguageisthis.com&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.polyglot3000.com/"&gt;Polyglot 3000&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of these three tools for translating text, Polyglot 3000 can recognize the most languages overall, about 400.  This is the only downloadable desktop tool of the three, so you don't need to be online to use it.  All three of these foreign language detectors are free to use for an unlimited amount of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/foreign" rel="tag"&gt;foreign&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/foreign+language" rel="tag"&gt;foreign language&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/language" rel="tag"&gt;language&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/language+identifier" rel="tag"&gt;language identifier&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/translate" rel="tag"&gt;translate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Get tips and advice for small business custom or standard website designs including blogs, cms, or e-commerce.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6451541905019344744-6342757715467138524?l=www.coderepair.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/6342757715467138524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6451541905019344744&amp;postID=6342757715467138524' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/6342757715467138524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/6342757715467138524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/01/identify-foreign-languages-online.html' title='Identify Foreign Languages Online'/><author><name>Roger Degerstrom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14612752897751278136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09129480382268641942'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451541905019344744.post-7505929081548086468</id><published>2010-01-18T23:33:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T23:33:00.269-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reviews'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='websites'/><title type='text'>RapidShare's Online File Transfer</title><content type='html'>RapidShare's online file transfer system is both free and easy to use.

By finding out what other websites are linking to your website, you can figure out which methods of establishing backlinks that you are using are actually yielding results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Backlinks, or inbound links, are incoming links to a website that are an indication of the popularity of your website page.  More websites that link to you is an indication of approval online, and can lead to increased traffic to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have compiled a list of &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/free-directories.html"&gt;free directories to submit your website for inbound links&lt;/a&gt;, it's free and easy to do.  You could also have a look at my blog post on how to &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/11/submit-to-free-directories-for-inbound.html"&gt;submit to free directories for inbound links&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply go through each directory link one at a time and find the niche that your website would fit into. Once you navigate there, on each website, you can click on "submit url", "submit links" or "suggest a site" either at the top or bottom of the webpage.

A hard to read website can send your website visitors away to other pages listed in their index of search results.  The idea of having a website is keeping your visitors on your page and getting them interested enough in your products or services to contact you.  Avoiding these common mistakes that make your website hard to read may help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appropriate contrast between text and background is important so your content can be read easily.  You don't want your website visitors squinting to see what you write, so make text as readable as possible with high contrast against the background.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't tire out your reader by writing long paragraphs.  By breaking up the text into shorter paragraphs and using headings to break up the page, you give your reader the ability to scan your website page much easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid using wide columns so your reader's eye doesn't get lost following a long line of text.  Divide your text into multiple columns or use right and left margins to fit everything on the screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highlighting with bold, italics, bullet points and hyperlinks can break up your paragraphs as well.  Draw your readers into your website by linking to other pages that have a common theme with what you are writing about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid long website pages and using too many navigation links because this is just too much for the reader to take in.  Keeping a minimum of links could keep your readers from being overwhelmed by so much to choose from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid these mistakes that make your website hard to read and you may find that your visitors will stay on your website longer when you &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/02/importance-of-tracking-stats.html"&gt;track your stats&lt;/a&gt;.  Visitors that stay on your website longer are more likely to use your products and services because they are impressed with how comfortable your website makes them feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more on related subjects on my blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/02/benefits-of-blog-tags-and-labels.html"&gt;Benefits of Blog Tags and Labels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/03/small-business-website-navigation.html"&gt;Small Business Website Navigation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/03/stickiness-for-effective-websites.html"&gt;Stickiness for Effective Websites&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/03/small-business-website-home-page-advice.html"&gt;Small Business Website Home Page Advice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/05/7-best-website-optimization-techniques.html"&gt;The 7 Best Website Optimization Techniques&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/05/tracking-website-statistics.html"&gt;Tracking Website Statistics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/06/10-ways-to-come-up-with-blog-post-ideas.html"&gt;10 Ways to Come Up With Blog Post Ideas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/07/networking-to-boost-business.html"&gt;Networking to Boost Business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/08/choosing-proper-keywords-and-key.html"&gt;Choosing Proper Keywords and Key Phrases&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/mistakes" rel="tag"&gt;mistakes&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/text" rel="tag"&gt;text&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/visitors" rel="tag"&gt;visitors&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/website" rel="tag"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Get tips and advice for small business custom or standard website designs including blogs, cms, or e-commerce.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6451541905019344744-5898143546201085419?l=www.coderepair.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/5898143546201085419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6451541905019344744&amp;postID=5898143546201085419' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/5898143546201085419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/5898143546201085419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2010/01/mistakes-that-make-your-website-hard-to.html' title='Mistakes That Make Your Website Hard to Read'/><author><name>Roger Degerstrom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14612752897751278136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09129480382268641942'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451541905019344744.post-2995353059228866787</id><published>2009-12-30T12:46:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T20:53:08.518-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reviews'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='advice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='websites'/><title type='text'>Using Websites to Answer Questions</title><content type='html'>When you have a question on a topic, a question/answer website could come in useful to answer that question.

A site index, much like a table of contents, has made navigation much easier because now you can see an entire section of my website at a glance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between a site index and a sitemap is that a sitemap is usually organized by importance or navigation, where a site index is an alphabetical order list index.  This site index provides content overview at a glance to help my visitors navigate around my website.  This way I could help engage my website visitors and interest them to navigate through other pages of my website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By adding a site index to your website you offer easier navigation, more stickiness, increased SEO, and a clear layout of what your website contains.  In turn, this could lead to greater traffic and more customers to your business.

Website visitors won't usually have the patience for a site to load and skip to the next one in search results.  A fast loading website can help avoid missing out on potential customers who who don't want to wait for a website to load.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Minimal Number of Images&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minimize the number of images you use on a website and make them simple because load time is more important than a flashy site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optimize Your Images&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure images are in gif or jpeg format and minimize the image size for fast loading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Minimal Animated Gifs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Animated gifs can take a long time to load and can distract your website visitors.  Using smaller animated gifs could be used to redirect your visitor's attention to a particular section of your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Small and Simple Icons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid large and bulky images because they slow down loading time significantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background Images Instead of Big Images&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using background images for headers and footers reduces the size of the web page, and decreases loading time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Use CSS Stylesheets&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CSS stylesheets can create pleasant text effects and rollovers and still maintain a fast loading website with simple yet good looking text effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Utilize Flash Sparingly&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using minimal flash can help your website load faster as well.  Flash may slow down loading time for your visitors, and they might just move on to the next website in search engine results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Design Mostly With HTML&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use HTML as much as possible, using tables, simple fonts, CSS stylesheets and minimize gifs, Flash and bulky images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next you can check your load time and get a free evaluation of your website at &lt;a href="http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/"&gt;WebsiteOptimization.com&lt;/a&gt; to improve website performance.

Many registry cleaners are &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/09/what-is-malware.html"&gt;malware&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/09/what-is-adware.html"&gt;adware&lt;/a&gt;, so you might have to worry about being forced to purchase the software in order to continue.  Sometimes finding a safe registry cleaner isn't always the easiest an easy task, but AML Registry Cleaner is safe and easy to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://download.cnet.com/AML-Free-Registry-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10764779.html"&gt;AML Free Registry Cleaner&lt;/a&gt; is registry-cleaning software that will safely clean and repair Windows Registry problems such as cookies, temporary files and recent files with a few clicks.  The Registry is the nerve center of your PC, and problems with the Windows Registry are a common cause of Windows crashes and error messages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Registry cleaning is suggested to be done every couple of days, or less often if you don't use your computer very often.  The instructions are simple.  After installation when the registry cleaner asks if you want to create a registry backup click "cancel".  Then run a "scan now" and then "fix all".  Once that is complete simply open the &lt;b&gt;disk cleaner&lt;/b&gt; then run a "start" on each radio button across the top including Temporary Files, Recent Files, Temp Internet Files and Cookies.  By keeping your registry clean you can keep your PC running quickly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More about &lt;a href="http://coderepair.com/registry-cleaner.html"&gt;AML Free Registry Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download &lt;a href="http://download.cnet.com/AML-Free-Registry-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10764779.html"&gt;AML Free Registry Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/registry" rel="tag"&gt;registry&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/registry+cleaner" rel="tag"&gt;registry cleaner&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/free+registry+cleaner" rel="tag"&gt;free registry cleaner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Get tips and advice for small business custom or standard website designs including blogs, cms, or e-commerce.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6451541905019344744-6802311005819027301?l=www.coderepair.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/6802311005819027301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6451541905019344744&amp;postID=6802311005819027301' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/6802311005819027301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6451541905019344744/posts/default/6802311005819027301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.coderepair.com/blog/2009/12/clean-your-registry-for-faster-running.html' title='Clean Your Registry for a Faster Running Computer'/><author><name>Roger Degerstrom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14612752897751278136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09129480382268641942'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451541905019344744.post-3814955584470510720</id><published>2009-12-13T22:57:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-13T22:57:00.317-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='advice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='websites'/><title type='text'>SEO Tools For Webdesign's Cutting Edge</title><content type='html'>Using &lt;a href="http://coderepair.com/seo-tools.html"&gt;SEO tools for website design&lt;/a&gt; can give you the cutting edge over your competition.

The following are some of the ways to evaluate a website quickly and easily so you can feel confident about trusting them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider the website's first impressions, that it looks good and catches your attention. The purpose for the website should be clear whether it's for goods or services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pages of the website should be clear, easy to comprehend, and not too cluttered with text and images.  Colors that clash should be avoided and the font size should be clear and readable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The content should be current and up-to-date.  Check whether the website's blog has been written on recently, and that all information is recent and accurate.  Checking the information given can give you a clear concept of the owner's level of expertise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a look at the navigation of the website you are evaluating.  When you roll over the links at the top or left hand side, you should see the landing page at the bottom of your browser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The website should have contact details on the home page such as phone numbers, email address, and business address, giving a personal feel for the website you are evaluating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the search engine you use, change the keywords a few times to see if you can still find that company with just a small amount of information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By checking when the domain was registered, you can see how legitimate the website is.  The age of the domain is an indicator of a trustable website because generally, a legitimate website should be registered for at least a year or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Checking the traffic rank of the website could indicate it's value.  These websites are useful to check traffic rank:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alexa.com/"&gt;Alexa.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://compete.com/"&gt;Compete.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quantcast.com/"&gt;Quantcast.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By evaluating websites for online value, you can feel more comfortable online by knowing who to trust.
