Ninty-nine point nine percent (99.9%) of all online business conducted on the internet begins with a simple search on a search engine. That's why it's absolutely crucial that you research and select the key phrases you optimize your website for. In fact, selecting key phrases can, and often will be, the determining factor that 'makes or breaks' your online business. ------------------------------

This has been a hotly contested debate over the past year as webmasters continue to try to find new ways to improve their rankings in SERPs. The basic premise of a link wheel goes like this. You set up 5-10 hosted blogs on sites like Blogger, Wordpress, Sqidoo, etc. These are called the 'spokes'. Then you place a prominent link on each one of them to your main site that you are trying to promote,

If you're into SEO like I am, then this isn't news to you. What is surprising is how many new website owners fall for this dupe.Angela's "system" says that the PR of the page doesn't matter. She says that it's really only the PR of the homepage that matters, and that if you get 1000's of links from pr0 inner pages on sites that have a strong homepage PR, then you will soar to the top of your

1.) Relevency - Make sure the site is closely related to your own2.) PR - still a very important factor3.) Google Backlinks (not backlinks from yahoo site explorer, most of those won' count. Should have at least a couple in google that are of equal or greater value)3.) Uniqueness (does it pass copyscape?)4.) Traffic (if it has any PR at all, it should be better than 2 million in alexa)5.) Number

Advertisers always look at pagerank when purchasing text link ads. That's a given. And Savvy advertisers know to look at other statistics of a web page as well, like Google backlinks, age of domain, and Alexa rank.But there is one important factor that is often overlooked, and it could be one of the most important factors of all.Uniqueness of content, in my opinion, should be one of the strongest

We've all heard the saying that content is king. Well, there's been a coup. Link Popularity is the new king of search engine optimization. Don't get me wrong, content is still extremely important, and is still the second most important factor in getting your site on the first page of Google for your most important key phrase. But Link Popularity is been proven to be the most important factor,

The best way to increase traffic to your website and increase your Google Page Rank is by increasing the number of inbound links from other websites to your website. We generally refer to these inbound links as backlinks.The number and quality of these backlinks is what Google uses to calculate the Page Rank (PR) of your website. The more quality websites that link to you, the higher your PR. The

A new type of site that I've been playing around with is a bit of a cross between a word cloud, a king of the bill, anda paid inclusion directory. Check it out, and get your 15 minutes of fame, over at www.FAME15.net.

So, I was presented with an issue the other day on one of the shops I've worked on previously. The issue was that the orders were not showing up in the admin section."Piece of cake", I said. I've seen several variations of this issue. Typically, they have something to with the status of the order, since an order with an unknown, or null status will not be displayed in the admin orders section.

One of the things that seems to be sorely lacking from just about every osC, or osC derivative is support for Collaborative Filtering. Collaborative filtering is the dynamic suggestion of products based on the customers browsing preferences compared against other customers that have similar interests. For example, osCommerce offers the ability for registered users to provide a rating and a review

Continuing out discussion of SEF URLS, another common misconception is that URLs with SIDs (Session Identifications) are not SEF. I often hear people ask how to get rid of the SID in their URL so that search engine spiders will index them, or rank them higher. The osCommerce application uses cookies to keep track of what customers have placed in their shopping cart. But some customers have their

“Search Engines do not like ? and such in the address. ““People have been discussing how search engines do not like ? marks etc. and how they won't index a page with those things”“..google turns crazy if it spiders the same document with all time different content”Over the past 3 years of working with osCommerce, I’ve heard misconceived comments like these over, and over again.

The long-term success of any business is dependent on the decisions it makes. And as a small business grows, so does the need to analyze the data they have collected to make these important business decisions. Forecasting, trend analysis and other aggregations of raw data are imperative to understanding your business to assist you in making these decisions. Yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and

As I’m sure using the osCommerce cart knows, the checkout process of this application is an absolute dinosaur. The checkout process, as currently implemented in the latest csv is 8 pages long. The process for a new customer to your store goes something like this.1.) The customer click the ‘Add ot Cart’ button from the product information page, and is taken to the shopping cart page. 1 page.2.)

Does anyone else wonder why we need a table with a cellpadding of 2, nested within another table just to make a border? I’ve been doing a lot of work recently, most notably over at www.package.ie/index2.php, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the various infobox and content boxes in osC are completely useless. Classes are supposed to make code more modular, more re-useable. But I have yet to

Continuing our previous discussion regarding PayPal, we know that starting out with a new business, and a brand new website, PayPal is a great way to get the ‘doors open’ and begin accepting payments with very little time or financial investment. We know that there are a lot of people that like to use their PayPal accounts, and will also go out of their way to make online purchases only from

I see the question, over and over again. "What payment method should I use." Or, "Is PayPal the best payment method for me?". The answer sounds simple. Always. You should always use PayPal. But that answer isn’t as simple as it might sounds, because you should NOT always use PayPal by itself.PayPal is by far, the easiest payment method currently available. You can set up a PayPal account in less

Well, I'm sad to see it go.My first ever osCommerce website, WizardsandWars.com has officially been sold. I won't post the amount it was sold for, but lets just say that while it was fair compensation for a business with over 1k unique visitors per day, and several thousand dollars profit per year, it doesn't come nearly close to compensation for the time I put into it.Why did I sell it?Well the

Don't you hate that? I've always dreaded making a first post anywhere. That's probably why I've been posting in the oscommerce forums for about 3 years now, lol.
