SEO Tips: How many keywords should you use to optimize your web page?

Alright, you have just put the last minutes touches on the look of your new website, it’s been uploaded on to your favorite web host (MonsterMegs, obviously!). Now, you want some people to look at your web pages but don’t want to spend much. Introducing the world’s most efficient free, guaranteed, traffic: Search engines (such as Google, Bing – previously named Live – previously named MSN, Yahoo!).

If you get your website listed on any of those search engines, that’s an accomplishment, however, that’s just half the task because you won’t get any traffic on the 685th page. In order to get plenty real visitors that are looking specifically for your web page, you have got to get in the first pages on the search engine.

First of all, you have to do a research on what keywords you need to focus on optimizing your site on; this is very important, make sure the keyword you’re working with is not something that’s very vague. For example, if you try to be the #1 on Google on “blog”, well, good luck. The end result will be that you won’t get to #1 on keyword “blog” and you’ll have no traffic, if you focus on the keyword “car blog” instead, you have a much bigger chance into making it to the first page, while at the same time having very good traffic on your website.

Page 685 of “blog” with almost no traffic or Page 1-2 of “car blog” with decent traffic, your call.

Once you’ve picked your specific keywords that you want to focus on, what to do with them is very simple. The best way to gain placement and traffic on search engines is that to optimize each page of your website on a specific keyword.

Take for example that you are a web hosting company (coincidentally called MonsterMegs, too), then you would try to optimize one of your pages for the keyword affordable web hosting and another page for quality web hosting and so on. You’d also make sure that all the pages that have your plans/services are also …

Will web page speed become a more important ranking factor?

Google’s Matt Cutts recently suggested that the speed of a web page may soon get more attention in Google’s ranking algorithm. It seems that Google focuses on fast websites to make the searching experience better.

What can you do to make your web pages faster?

Of course, you should start by choosing a reliable web host that has a good connection to the Internet. Your web server should be easy to reach and it shouldn’t have any down time.

In addition to choosing a fast web host, you can do the following to make your web pages faster:

* Combine external JavaScript code files into one file. The fewer files the server has to request, the faster your web pages will load.

* Compress your JavaScript code to make the JavaScript file smaller.

* Combine external CSS files into one file and compress your CSS files.

* If your web server supports it, enable gZip compression (your web host can do that for you).

* Use as few images as possible on your website and compress your images. Most graphic tools enable you to choose the compression rate when saving an image for the web.

* Put tracking codes and other JavaScript snippets at the end of your web pages.

Host your website with MonsterMegs web hosting to insure fast web page with optimum performance.

While fast loading pages are good for web searchers, using the page loading time in the ranking algorithm can cause problems for smaller businesses:

* Businesses will be forced to choose a fast (and probably expensive) web host if they want to be found in the search results.

* People with a low income or businesses from a country with slow Internet connections won’t be able to compete with companies that have more money.

* Big corporations that have a very good connection to the Internet will have an advantage.

* The big websites will get bigger and the small websites will get smaller.

Sign up with MonsterMegs for a fast reliable loading site yet with very affordable web hosting prices.

MonsterMegs Shared Web Hosting Services

We sell a lot of shared web hosting to customers around the world. In fact, shared web hosting is our top seller. One of the most frequently asked questions is “Which shared hosting package is right for me?” That’s a great question so I would like to answer that in today’s blog post. We offer two types of shared web hosting packages: Basic Shared Web Hosting and Semi-Dedicated Shared Web Hosting. Each one is configured with specific options and pricing based on what customers typically need and use with their shared web hosting account.

Understanding server loading and how many accounts are on your server

Before we get into the specifics of each MonsterMegs shared web hosting package, first you need to understand that each type of shared web hosting service is hosted on a server with other web hosting accounts. But one unique aspect to our shared web hosting services is that each type of shared web hosting package is hosted on servers that are limited to the number of hosting accounts we’ll host on them. The fewer the hosting accounts on a server, the more performance, security, and reliability you get with that particular server. On the other hand, the more hosting accounts we host on a server, you may experience a decrease in performance, security, and reliability.

Now don’t get me wrong, MonsterMegs servers are still high performance, very secure, and extremely reliable. However, regardless of how well our servers are designed and configured, the more accounts we host on a server, the more that particular server’s performance will be affected. Essentially, you are sharing the server’s resources with other shared web hosting accounts. So the fewer hosting accounts you have to share with on a server, the more server resources your website has access to at any time, thereby increasing your website’s performance.

BasicShared Web Hosting Packages: Lower price, moderate disk space and bandwidth

MonsterMegs Shared Web Hosting packages are the least expensive plans we offer in our line of shared web hosting services. You get unlimited domain hosting with most packages and we start …
