SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Domain Names

It has been awhile since I last make an update to this blog. I know this is a personal blog and there are few other sites that I manage but for some reasons, this blog got a page rank of 1 from the last update. There has been no activity within the blog, link requests, blog posts and even link build never occurred to this blog.

It is quite obvious that sometimes this happens randomly and good thing, this blog got some juice from other sites. Anyhow, this is just an update and hoping I would have time to blog some of my personal experiences.

This is a guest post of a participant of the Tnomeralc web design toys, an ongoing  SEO Contest by Claremont.

When designing a web page or a certain site, the first thing the designer needs to know is what will be the product or what information will be inputted on that page. This is where the designer will base his/her designs.

If in case, this page will be for toys or an online shopping website for toys, below are some helpful tips that the designer may look into. These are the actual checklist/tips that the staff and crew of Tnomeralc web design toys are currently using.

Clean design is a must. This will reflect the overall representation of your toys. Remember that parents are the one who will look and choose those toys for their kids, so it pays to have a clean design first.

Page/Graphics/Video Load time. This is also must be a top consideration. Make us of compression software that do not dilute the color or the appearance of your picture and video. Compressing of images and videos will lessen the page load time.

Browser compatibility. Remember that there are million of internet users out on the web. And they do not use same browser and operating system. It pays to test your website design on different web browser. The designer may install multiple browsers at his/her computer for test purposes.

Readable links and navigation. Make sure to put your entire important page’s links on the homepage with the definite title or anchor text. If necessary, include alternate texts and title into your links for easier identification.

Image and Product Identification. Include all the necessary details of every image of the product that you will put into your website. You don’t want your reader/visitor to make a wild guess what is your product called or what it is all about. Also, consider placing the price tag and other terms of buying on it.

The Tnomeralc web design toys team strongly implements this tips for their work and projects.

These basic website design tips can make a designer’s web design more enjoyable and can attract more visitors. Consider this tips to each and every assignments or project designs you may have in the future and pretty sure, it can make your website grow more.

Why would one redirect a link?  There area few number of reasons.  One would be affiliate link theft.  Bad boys will see your affiliate link and then replace it with theirs, making the sale thus, them having the commission.  Another would be the simplicty of the link.  It matters when your links are shown like this:

http://mydomainname.com/offer.php

rather than having an affiliate link like

http://mydomain.com/?offer=123aff

or something to that effect.  If you were the reader, what link would you click? And so on and so forth.

Now, Here is one quick tip on how to redirect your affiliate link using php.  No programming required, and we can actually do this in one minute.

First off,  you will be needing:

1. notepad application
2. access to your ftp
3. the affiliate link

Ready?

1. Open notepad and copy this line

<?php
header(’Location: http://your-affiliate-link-here.com’);
?>

Wherein you replace http://your-affiliate-link-here.com with the actual affiliate link you want to hide.

2. Save it as php with any filename you want. example is ORDER.PHP

3. log in to your ftp, accessing your domain name root -/public_html

4. Create your directory: Here are some familiar directory names for your convenience, but you can actually use any directory name you wish.

• /go
• /goto
• /recommends
• /loves
• /presents

5. upload your .php, in our example - ORDER.php

6. Check your link if it really redirects, usually its http://your-domain-name.com/go/order.php

Your all  set, being conservative myself, I should have written at the title “under 5 minutes,” but really, one can do it under 2 minutes. Congratulations on your new beautified redirected link
