New-WordPress-Themes.net Review

Posted in Websites, Word press on July 8th, 2008
Tags: , , , , , ,

I love to check out websites and blogs and often times I find some of the coolest sites simply by visiting sites of those who visit my site. Susan, the owner of New-Wordpress-Themes.net recently visited my SEO Blog and since she is a member of MyBlogLog, I was able to track down her websites.

I was impressed with New-Wordpress-Themes.net and decided to rate it here on my review blog. There are tons of free Word Press Theme sites on the Internet. I love to look at the different themes so I decided to take a look at this one. I was impressed with the look as soon as the page opened. It is nicely designed and looks very professional.

Of course, a website with a nice design does not always mean that the content is equaled to the look. With this website, the content is great. There are many themes in the gallery for free download. There are some I have seen and some nice ones that I have not discovered elsewhere. My only negative to the themes was the fact that all the themes do not have demos. Otherwise, there are all the great features of a good theme gallery.

If the themes was the only thing this site offered, I would not have been so excited by the site. The site offers its own forums. This is a nice feature for people who love to feel like that are part of a community. That is not all the site also offers a great list of ways to monetize your blog. Though these links are affiliate links, it offers new and even experienced bloggers a nice list of ways to make money.

If all that was not enough, the site has a great list of some of the best Word press Plugins and tools. I have seen many times new bloggers asking what plugins should I use. This list is a good one and should include most needs of any blogger.

Overall, this is a great website and a wonderful resource for bloggers. I am sure to add this one as a favorite and I hope my readers will find equally useful.

GoDaddy Web Hosting Review

Posted in Web Hosting Reviews on July 7th, 2008
Tags: , , , ,

Robert, owner of Information Ninja, submitted the following review:

When I started off online I had no idea what I was doing.  I started purchasing domain names through Godaddy.  I don’t remember if I chose then because they where one of the more popular sites of their kind or the cheapest.

If your looking to register a domain name then there is nothing wrong with Godaddy.   The problems began when I started hosting my websites with them.

Godaddy has the website tonight feature for those of us who do no know a thing about designing a website.  Website tonight is a simple online program that allows you to add blocks of text or images so you can have a site online in minutes.  Using these types of programs limits how your site design will look, but if you are a newbie this could be just what your looking for.

I had a web designing program already so I didn’t need this feature.  You can use a free program like NVU for free to design your site.  NVU is a HTML editor similar to expensive programs like Dreamweaver or Frontpage.  With a HTML editor you don’t need to know any code, and you can design your site to look any way you would like it to.  You simply click, drag, and drop the graphics on your computer screen.  Then using a ftp program you can upload your site to your webhost.

Godaddy’s hosting is inexpensive and their service is reliable.  They contacted me phone several times to see if I wanted to save money by purchasing a years worth of hosting.  They were polite, and no high pressure sales tactics were used.  The Godaddy representatives I spoke with asked if I had any questions or concerns, and quickly took care of any billing issues I had.

Now with the excellent customer service that Godaddy offers it is a shame that they do not have cpanel.  I purchased the launch formula marketing membership software, and spent hours trying to figure out how to install it on my website that was hosted on Godaddy.  Then I found out that it could only be installed through cpanel.  I immediately switched hosting providers, and was able to install the software with no problem.  Using cpanel makes a webmasters life so much easier.  I don’t understand why Godaddy does not have it.

Since goddaddy I have tried kiosk.ws and host gator.  I am now using three hosting services and it is costing me a fortune.  This is my own fault since I could host unlimited domains for a flat rate using one hosting service, instead of three different ones.  I will be taking care of this soon, and saying goodbye to Godaddy, and making a choice between Kiosk.ws and Hostgator.

Squiggout Webhosting Review

Posted in Web Hosting Reviews on July 7th, 2008
Tags: , , ,

Sandra aka Bloglady owner of C4Him Media Blog submitted the following web hosting review:

I’ve used several hosting companies over the years and as you probably know, they can be great for several months and then suddenly start having problems. I’ve been using Squiggout for about a year now and am quite impressed by them. Their website states that they have chosen as a top ten host.

I can host unlimited domains and I have more than enough disk space (5000Mb) and bandwidth (200Gb) for myself and my clients.

They have provided better than 99.9% uptime and they notify me of any down time due to upgrades, which is always minimal and occurs in the wee hours of the morning.

I pay by subscription via PayPal, which is more convenient for me. The package I have is about $10 a month, but they offer an even cheaper package which is great if you only have one or two domains to host. They also have larger packages plus a reseller package.

I only have one cpanel, which makes it easier to manage my domains using only one ftp account, although multiple ftp accounts are available. I chose Unix shared hosting and CPanel because that is what I am used to, and many say that Unix is more reliable than Windows hosting.

You also get Fantastico, which has the WordPress blog which so many of us use, and they also provide a website builder which I have not used.

Platinum SEO Pack Review

Posted in Word press on July 7th, 2008
Tags: , , , ,

I have always used the All In One SEO Pack on my Word Press blogs. It helped by allowing to set meta tags, mark no index pages that you did not want indexed in the Search Engines and do automatic descriptions for your posts pages. It was the must have plug in for Word Press users. That was until now.

Recently the creator of the All in One SEO pack has stopped offering support. Since he did, someone else has taken up the support. However, in the meantime, a new creator has taken the old plug in and expanded on it and created Platinum SEO Pack. This one is much better because it allows many new features when doing SEO.

This does all that the old plugin does and more. Here are the features copied from the Word Press Download Page:

* Optimized Post and Page Titles for search engines

* Generates all SEO relevant META tags automatically

* Helps you avoid duplicate content

* Lets you override any title and set any META description and META keywords, for any post or page

* Compatible with most other plugins, like Auto Meta, Ultimate Tag Warrior and others.However you may have to disable All in One SEO pack

* You don't have to fear changing permalinks. If you are not satisfied with the current permalink, change it through Settings >Permalinks in your admin panel, without worrying about loss of Page rank or Google penalty.Platinum SEO plugin will take care of issuing a 301 redirect to the new location.This is a new essential feature, not present in All in one SEO

* Add index, noindex, follow or nofollow, noodp, noydir, noarchive, nosnippet meta tags to any post/page.These options are not available in All in one SEO Pack. Find out why this option to set post/page level Meta Robots Tag useful?

I love this Plugin because I wanted to change my permalinks ion my other blogs and it was a going to be a pain to do and redirect everything to the new URL. With this plug in, it was so easy and all the redirects were done for me. I also in the past have wanted to make certain links no follow and it was a pain to do so. With this plugin it is super easy to do. This is a must have for any Word Press Blogger.

I would have gave a link back to the author’s page but the link is not working but I did include a link to the download at Word Press.Org for anyone who wishes to download it. If you use it, lease share your opinion by leaving a comment here.

DoFollow Directory Review

Posted in Uncategorized, Websites on July 7th, 2008
Tags: , ,

As you know, I am always on the hunt for great websites. If it is useful my readers, I try to include it here. Recently, I was searching for ways to promote my blogs and ran across a great site that will help anyone who owns a blog.

I found a DoFollow Directory that has categories of sites that not only allows comments but all the sites are having dofollow links. This means that if you leave a comment on a site listed in the directory related to your blog, it will provide a link that the search engines will follow back to your site. This is the number one way to get listed in the search engines and ranked high.

I found this directory to be a great resource and it was well designed. If you own a blog, they allow you to Submit Dofollow Blogs for free. Because many website owners are always looking for links back to their site, this will increase your traffic.

Another cool feature of this directory is that people can vote on your site. This will show how popular your blog is and will help you improve your blog. If you own a blog or website, this site has to be on your favorites. I provided the links to see the directory and a direct link to submit your own blog. Please feel free to comment of you used the directory, I would love to check out your blog.
