Original posts, your own views written over  a period of time only can bring sustainable traffic increase. Links will follow automatically. I practice what i preach, One of my high traffic soccer blog http://simba.in has gained user traffic only because of content.

The number of impression i have create over this small amount of time is really phenomenal. in just 6 months of active participation and decent work on content i am able to bring 3000 clicks, Imagine few people around selective content. Organizations should work on these areas rather than hiring external SEO companies, Once you have content optimizing them for result is easier, without content SEO will eat and  gas your money.

I have concentrated only on original content, updated periodically. I never followed link building exercised, people came in for links. The niche articles i write brought audiences, they kept my posts in their blog. Now i have more visitors. Bet on content, spend as much time you can on content rather than site design. Do a little bit research on what you are going to write, start building articles around those keywords. Title them appropriately, work in social networking sites against those of your titles.

I am sure the result will be abundant Traffic. Do keep me posted with your ideas.

the new tasks you have ahead of you, especially if you’re completely unfamiliar with the various processes of building and managing your own website. The beginning of the process will largely be a learning process, and so understandably, you may try to cut costs as much as possible.

Cost vs Effectiveness

One term we often hear in the online business industry is “cost-effectiveness.” It is often used to describe whether or not someone is “getting what they pay for.” However, cost and effectiveness do not go hand in hand. In general, you’ll get what you pay for, which means if you pay less you will get less. If you pay less for web hosting, then that lowered cost is almost undoubtedly going to result in lowered efficiency on your end.

When you decide your hosting company ask your self what they provide, and how much they charge. Analyze are they satisfying your requirement fully? If your business requires a static website or CMS driven web site, You don’t need to go behind costly plans. Moving them from one to another is not a big task. Do not compromise on security, Data Back up and web site uptime.

If your business is heavily depends on online presence, than take a plan which will scale with you. The True Cost of Cheap Web Hosting will be felt when you can not grow because your web host is not supporting you. you need to analyze what you;re trying to do with your online presence, and how much are you really willing to pay for the convenience of saving a few dollars temporarily.

How old is your web hosting company?

More than 70% of web hosting companies don’t even cross 1 Year. More than 85% of web hosting companies don’t even have dedicated server. They make money with reseller plan. If you are caught in reseller hosting by chance, you’re Gone.

What is cheap?

When quality hosting companies like Hexahost has cheap hosting plans starting from $12 per year, Why take $1 per year for unlimited and screw up. How much you can save by taking $1 per year hosting plan and $12 per year hosting plan. Difference is cost of one coffee, one meal nothing big. Take wise decision.

Happy Hosting!
