Don’t have domain name? Don’t be panic, you may try to use the free domain name at the free blogging site first. When you have enough experience you may continue with the commercial blogging.

There are so many reasons why having your own domain name will make the world of difference for your online home business success, so let`s have a look at some of them now.

By having your own domain name means you have total freedom as well as complete control over your online home business. Nobody can dictate to you what you can put on your site and you do not have to answer to anybody.

Your chance of success online is increased one hundred fold because with your own domain name and website you are not restricted at all. Affiliate links are restricted in many areas on the internet.

Learning html and optimizing your website for the search engines is one of the most important things you need to learn how to do if you want to appear on the first page of Google. By having your own domain name and website you have full access to your own source code and so you can select your keywords and optimize your website.

Another huge advantage is that when you choose your actual domain name you can incorporate your main keyword into the domain name which will give you an edge over your competition in the search engine rankings.

You will be able to add fresh content to your website e.g. you own articles, which again will put you in favour of Google and the other search engines.

You will be able to pick and choose what products or affiliate programs you wish to promote, nobody can dictate to you what programs you have to join.

Adding a free newsletter to your website which your visitors can subscribe to is a great way to build your list and you can install an auto-responder to take care of the follow-ups.

By installing a stat counter on your website that records inter alia the number of unique visitors, where they came from, what keywords they used, what page they entered your site on and left will give you invaluable information.

Using the Google tools such as Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools provides very valuable information and you will be able to install the Google code on your website to take advantage of them.

You can project your own personality into your website with design, colour, wording, graphics etc. The list is endless.

Exchanging links with other websites is now possible with your own domain. You could exchange links manually or install link exchange software. You will be able to host you own images instead of linking to a banner on an affiliate site. This not only ensures that your images always open on your website but will decrease the load time of your web page.

You will be free to add slide in adverts or pop ups to your website. You can add new pages to your website as and when you want as well as easily cloak your affiliate links and create sub domains. Monetizing your website with the use of Adsense or other forms of advertising will also be possible.

For special occasions throughout the year, e.g. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Mother`s Day, you will be able to decorate your site for the occasion and offer specials.

As you can see from the above the advantages of having your own domain name and website are numerous and endless and yet so vital to your success online.

How To Increase Blog Traffis by Article Marketing



by newagephilosopher

Article Marketing is defined as that art of marketing by which we get a lot of traffic due to submission of quality articles to article directories.

Each article contains a resource box. 3 urls are permitted in the resource box. Here is a sample resource box which gets me traffic

mailto:info@eastrovedica.com?subject=ZFiles . Blog - http://blog2wisdom.blogspot.com

First url is my main website url. Second one is the free subscription to my Zine. And the third is the blog url.

This is the resource box used when I submitted an ‘Blog Your Way to the Bank’ article to article directories.

Now the Zine publishers and website owners are looking for quality articles. They can get these articles from the article directories. They visit the article directories and download articles of their choice. They publish these articles in their Zines/ Websites.

The readers read these articles and click on these hyperlinks. And what do you get ? Traffic, which is Internet Gold !

Normally you can submit a 3 url resource box. Putting more than 3 urls in the Resource box is risky.

Here is a list of Article Directories. I used to submit articles to these directories, which has given me good traffic.
