How To Change the Default Nameservers with WHM

November 2nd, 2011
Share

On a cPanel / WHM Server, you can add or change the private nameservers. However, when you setup an account through WHM, it does not show your private nameservers, instead it shows the default nameservers set by your hosting provider.

To correct this, you will need to modify the wwwacct.conf file.

How To Change the Default Nameservers with WHM

  1. Connect to your server as root through SSH.
  2. Open /etc/wwwacct.cong using your favorite text editor such as vi or joe.
  3. Add the following lines or edit them if they already exists:

ns = ns1.mydomain.com
ns2 = ns2.mydomain.com

The new nameservers will now show upon new account creation with WHM using the administrator account.

SEO optimization for Facebook

November 10th, 2010
Share

seo for facebookDefinitely, one of the world’s fastest growing websites is Facebook.  Facebook gains popularity very rapidly. It takes part of the daily life of millions people in the world. That is why Facebook can be used with a lot of purposes. It can be called the world’s social largest international group. If we thought that Internet can give us fast access to everywhere. Now with Facebook is even faster. There you can find everything and everyone. You can join groups, you can show your preferences, post links, post different adds and socialize with hundreds of different people all over the world. In other words there are a lot of people who are using Facebook every moment. It becomes part of our life as to have a car and home and Facebook. That is why it is getting very popular for business people to use it for online marketing and advertising.

In Facebook it is easy for people to use traditional marketing techniques because of its structure and tools. To be unique is perhaps the most important marketing technique. You have to consider very carefully every aspect of your Facebook page so it is attractive for the visitors and it stands out from the rest.

These days it is absolutely not acceptable to have a general landing page in Facebook. With help of the tools provided by Facebook you can show to potential users a page specifically tailored for them. You should keep in mind that the picture of your profile is also very important because Facebook is perhaps the biggest photosharing site on the Internet. Stick to using big pictures with clear images. Tagging friends and customers in the photos is a great trick for bringing additional attention from friends and from their friends. Also allowing your friends to tag themselves in your pages can add a nice social “hook” to your page. You can use multiple Facebook applications to pull in your other already existing accounts from other social networking sites. With the help of some nifty applications, you can pull in Twitter, Flickr, and many others fairly quickly.

It is also good to get in touch with your fans on a regular basis even if it is just to tell “Thanks!” to someone who had just liked your page. This way you shoe them that you are paying attention to your customers and their opinion is important for you. There are quite a lot of people who will create their pages and leave them. After all Facebook is a social network and it requires constant attention. That is why it can also provide excellent feedback and discussions.

The importance of DoFollow Backlinks

October 31st, 2010

Using Dofollow Backlinks can be a really good opportunity for the people who want their websites to be more popular. Now, let’s start with the explanation why backlinks are one of the most important parts of SEO. First, they show site popularity Also, they are the entrance to your site. The trafic will be directly driven. And one last thing, search engine robots visit your site every time, they land on a backlink.

Every site needs popularity and here comes the DoFollow backlinks. This website needs something in order to be popular, and to be widely known, it needs backlinks. The more backlinks you have, the easier it is for your website to be found and the more credit it will get from the search engines. In a few simple words the definition of the DoFollow backlink is a link back to your website from another website.

First, you need to create a free blog. Write a keyword article promoting your site, with strategic backlinks. Name the blog after an important keyword, like grey-blue-sky.blog.com. Create new posts and promote your site’s individual categories & pages, using strategic keywords for each individual post and the page it’s linking to. Then, you can submit your blog with a brief note. Try to think of an interesting title that will stand out from the others. By creating pages try to coin strategic page names and titles. Point them to corresponding pages on your we site. Use strategic keywords, make things interesting, and promote each page as if they were individual websites. That will help for improving the page rank. Then, you have to bookmark your site with a tempting title. It must stand out and be different and unique among all the others. And the next important step is the keywords. They are everything, give enough time to think of them because they everything with social bookmarking sites.

The DoFollow Backlinks are the main players and if you want to improve your SERPS (search engine result pages) in the world of SEO (search engine optimization) you should realize how important the backlinks are. If you want be on a higher rank on the search engines, then you have to concentrate on creating your DoFollow backlinks. The good old past seeemed easier. The only thing you should do a few years ago was to visit any blog, forum, etc. and paste your backlink on there. But then how the search engines would understand who to give credit to and who not. That was a very tough task for the search engines. But now, we have DoFollow Backlinks. They are very important for anybody trying to build an online presence.

Robot.txt Optimization

February 10th, 2010
Share

What is the Robot.txt?

For those of you who don’t know what robot.txt is; it is a protocol which is designed to limit what areas of sites can be crawled by spiders, to understand this completely you should have a rough idea of how spiders work. Using the robot.txt optimisation carries with it major benefits when used correctly. For example forums will regularly use this feature, i.e. in general chatter sections if they do not want the member’s general discussions to confuse a search engines designation of their theme. Think of it as a no follow tag for content, be it images, banners or entire pages.

How do I use robot.txt optimisation?

Well it is  relatively simple piece of code, for example if you wanted to prevent the Googlebot from seeing graphics on your site the code you would place in the robot.txt file would be:

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /graphics/

However most of this can be done using the Meta tags if for some reason you cannot upload a robot.txt files.

Another key use of the protocol is preventing any on site duplicate content penalties, for example if you have two pages with similar or identical content you can use the Robot.txt file to tell the spiders to ignore the content which you do not wish to be the authoritative piece. This is very helpful when you have a large site in a competitive or highly plagiarised field.

Limitations of the Robot.txt

The robot.txt file is quite limited for example a search engine may still index a file that it the robot.txt file is telling it not to crawl if another site is linking to that page. Also a more concerning issue is that the Robot.txt file only effects “well behaved” robots; it will not stop a competitor from analysing or attacking your site.

How do I create a robot.txt file?

Robot.txt files are pretty easy to make, not only are there numerous online tools to help you make them, or you can write it yourself in a text editor and upload it to the root directory.

Innovations in Social Media Optimization

December 4th, 2009
Share

socializeiconsWell the foundation of Social Media Optimization is of course the blog, whilst many other Social Medias exist this is the key tool in most webmasters arsenal. It seems evident that nobody in their right mind would ignore blogging when undertaking any SEO campaign never mind a SMO campaign which is centred on this type of media. However recently the social network has become increasingly popular and yet harder for webmasters to spam, we all remember how easy it was to litter myspace in links, or fake a celebrity who would endorse your product, right?

So it seems most changes that have occurred have occurred to punish webmasters for blog commenting and social network spamming, so the innovation of course is how we get around that.

What’s new with the Blog?

Well we all know that blogs were made nofollow, and then in turn many webmasters pushed the dofollow pluggin to give them a traffic advantage from SEO and SMO’s across the world, and of course, this has worked, the difficulty of course is finding these dofollow sites as they receive so much spam webmasters get fed up, remove the dofollow and then the sites drop off the free lists. The smart idea is to have softwares do it for you, but they are hardly reliable, the dofollow tag has only hurt blogs, as they receive less traffic, fewer comments, and more concentrated spam.

What about the Social Networks?

Well, the spam has been cleaned up so SMO’s really have to clean their act up, but this isn’t too difficult, instead of targeting anyone and everyone, add people who may be interested in your product, the major benefit that has happened in the Social Networking SMO world is their rapid growth outside of America, this of course means that you can target people from all over the world. The ability to target this sort of traffic is invaluable, especially when you are niche marketing. Linked In is of course the favourite for SMO’s at the moment for the simple reason that it allows you to post numerous links not just one or two like other Social Networks.

When discussing Social Media we cannot forget videos right?

Well the video market has been saturated recently with everybody trying to go viral, and get backlinks across the globe. The only real innovation isn’t particularly great, it is video scraping, the logic is that if somebody has a popular video steal it and you’ll be popular too right? Well yes, and while this wouldn’t work on the normal search engines with, let’s say, content. But the bonus for SMO’s with video search engines is that essentially they aren’t quite as clever, you can rank in youtube very easily from simply picking the right keywords and maybe you might rank underneath the original video it is quite easy to rank highly and receive a vast amount of traffic.

How Social Media Optimization (SMO) works?

Social Media Optimization

Social Media Optimization

Well, before explaining how social media optimization works it would be poignant to explain what social media optimization is. It is of course on of the less familiar aspects of SEM even to many of the “experts” in this field, who prefer to concentrate on search engine optimization. It is very undervalued and under competed. This, in many ways, makes social media optimization very useful to an SEM although some would say that social media optimization is not part of the job of an SEO or SEM simply because it is not particularly relevant to search engines and doesn’t really give you a big boost in the SERPS. However, if you are implementing SEO then it would be silly not to take advantage of other forms of free marketing online.

The brief definition of  SMO

So explaining exactly how social media optimization works is not too hard to explain, it is the use of social media networks such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter to drive traffic to a website. The difficult bit is explaining how to do it properly.

Many people do trust friend of a friend recommendations and of course the bonus of this is of course it is free to implement yourself and if you wish to have the service on a large scale it is often considerably cheaper than a PPC campaign. This can be a very tantalising offer to small businesses and also the reason why large scale businesses neglect this form of advertising and miss out on its potential benefits.

The problem with SMO is of course that if done wrong your website can look spammy and the “advertising” you have implemented can actually have a negative effect. Also it can be very time consuming to build a network which actually pays attention to what you post. And this is the reason that many people make a particularly poor decision to gain lots and lots of friends using tacky software’s and send out mass spam messages hoping that by law of adverages some people will visit your site. The conversion rates from this sort of advertising are, rather unsurprisingly, low.

The potential benefits

The best benefits you can expect are through word and mouth and the only way to do this is though organic friend building. Requesting people who may potentially be interested in your product not just every random person you see as this, will in turn; only create negative word of mouth. The bonus you can get from word of mouth is self explanatory, you gain traffic, awareness and potentially sales. The other main benefit is that it works in the same way as an emailed newsletter. It keeps people informed about changes to your brand. Surely this is a good thing as it can increase returning custom. So hopefully this article has helped you understand a little bit more about how social media marketing works.

Bing goes real time

October 27th, 2009
Share

bint tweetsSearch engines are notorious for their inability to update quickly, the idea of the search engine spiders being able to crawl the entire web for new pages at a moments notice was simply unfathomable. The power involved in searching the entire internet and keeping the search engines as close to real time as we know them is incredibly vast and that is nothing in comparison to what updating the internet in real time would take.

But, now Microsoft’s Bing has decided to latch on to what is by far the best opportunity to do this and get one over on its competitors. And that opportunity is the social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, they’ve been providing updates about, well just about anything you could imagine for a few years now in the form of tweets and status updates and ok organising the entire web in this manner is a far more monumental task which is yet to be achieved, but what Bing is beginning is a step towards this by amalgamating its services with the social networks to add their updates to its search.

The fear of course is that the search engine will be flooded with more useless information and dribble which is about as useful as the average user as a chocolate tea pot (this is a British colloquialism if you’re American and don’t quite get it). So the idea was to separate the two for now into Twitter Bing and the original Bing. This may be a permanent set up or the conflation of the two services could be coming soon if Microsoft can get this right.

This clearly is something that had to come soon, the fact is that search has to keep up with the booming markets online and the social network is the internets fastest growing niche. And this search engine will let you search twitter feeds as if they were websites, a weird concept but one that for many has been a long time coming. Google however are in talks with Twitter and Facebook to produce the same service so while Microsoft haven’t quite had enough time to corner this late branch of search, but they have got the edge. So will it catch on? Or will the search engine bosses look like a bunch of twits? Only time will tell, but if you fancy giving this service a try you can test Bing’s American beta already.
