What is cost of putting a web site on the Internet?

Posted on July 1, 2012 under Answers, Hosting, Web Development  |  Leave a comment

I run a small shop in Black Mountain, NC for which I had a web site made through my cousin for free. How do I put the web site on the Internet and how much will it cost? I’m not wealthy but do want to keep up with the Joneses.

Cost for a web site onlineJan Marie, welcome to the World Wide Web. The cost of putting your web site on the Internet can vary from $50 to about $200 annually which I’m sure was way lower than what you had imagined, right? I’ll even tell you about the free (yes, 100% gratis) option though I would dissuade you to going ahead with it. Anyway, let me explain in detail what these costs are and how you should go about getting your shop online!

Posted on June 25, 2012 under Answers, Search Engines  |  1 Comment

Wondering if a web browser and search engine are the same – quite sure they are not! I am kind of new to the web and would be grateful if you can tell me the difference between a web browser and a search engine. I hope this is not a dumb question.
Robert Paliotti

Internet search engine - Google.comNo question is dumb, only people… especially those who don’t ask!
Anyway, to answer your question – a web browser and a search engine are different entities; the former is a program while the latter is a web service. But that said, they work hand-in-hand to help you get the maximum out of the Internet. More »

Search only web page title using Google

Posted on June 20, 2012 under Google, Internet Tips, Search Engines  |  1 Comment

I have a web site with thousands of products each of which has its own web page. I’ve taken care to optimize the pages for search engines (Google mainly) and have introduced keywords in the page title, description and heading. How can I search only the web page title? I need to do this when adding new products to avoid duplicates. By the way, I run the Google Site Search on my web site.
Vernon McIntosh

It’s great to know that you have taken special care to make your online web store search engine friendly by placing keywords in the page titles and description. However, don’t forget the main contents of the page – make sure the keyword also appears there. Anyway, it’s very easy to search only the web page titles with Google. All you need to know is the special syntax.
