Domain name and its SEO friendliness

All words in website are recorded by search engine’s crawlers from time to time so it can find out what the website is about and where it should be categorized for better search results. The keywords play a significant role to contribute to the popularity of a website in search engines. These keywords include what is chosen for domain names.

Domain name for a website is like the name of a company, but not everyone would use the name of their company as their domain name because at times it would be more effective to get an SEO tailored name than to keep their company’s name when they are just starting out their business. However, the choice of using a company or SEO tailored domain name can be equally effective, but if your company is still in the process of achieving global branding, you might opt to get a SEO tailored name.

An SEO tailored domain name would be a good stepping-stone to increase the chances to land on relevant search results. Using specific keywords such as ‘furniture’, ‘watches’, jewellery’ with the company name can have better result on search engine. E.g. www.marks-furniture.com, www.best-priced-watches.com, etc.

Domain name for SEO should also be customized according to the location of the targeted visitors by using the right TLD (Top Level Domain Name). If you’re targeting your website to Singapore’s market, you might consider the .sg TLD or if it’s a Malaysia market, you might consider .my TLD. This increases the chances of your website being shown on their result though you and your website may be located and hosted else where.

PayPal have become increasingly popular in many countries since the change of policy that allow withdrawal of funds through local bank in many countries.

With that, it’s no wonder online business in many countries started to flourish to almost limitless business opportunities. There are some reasons why shoppers and sellers prefer PayPal over other types of online payment gateways.

• PayPal offers 19 currencies and has 160 million accounts in 190 markets making it one of the most preferred online payment options for shoppers to trust. PayPal is the most preferred online payment option in Australia and UK.
• Security and confidentiality is the primary concern when it comes to online payment for everyone. With PayPal, billing, personal and credit card information are never to be shared with anyone but yourself.
• Fast and easy way for everyone to make payment is something that motivates people to use PayPal for many reasons. Aside from shopping online, PayPal is also commonly used for many personal payments i.e paying rental fees, loan, bank and etc. People use PayPal for many types of transaction, it’s a convenient internet wallet that will shape cyber transaction.

Accelerating web impression – How to enhance the speed of your website.

Speed is the selling factor today. The reason you buy a better car, washing machine and fast broadband internet because you are looking for a faster technology that can help you to work faster. Your website also has a speed factor that is partly controlled by you (web developer) and your web hosting provider.

The loading speed of your website will determine in seconds whether your visitors will instantly be mesmerized by the designed of your website, or feel frustrated with the slow loading and eventually exit your site.

So how fast your website loads on the browser screen does have a large impact on how your company is being perceived. While the factors that determine your site’s speed is not fully controlled by what is in your website, you can take the steps that are necessary on your part with the following:

• Html errors – Ensuring all codes are in the right order and place is important. Any scripts that appears only to make the website more fancy is unnecessary. Keeping your HTML contents neat and clean will help to boost the speed of your website.
• CSS codes – They are best to be included as an external file to enhance the speed and readability for the browser. The result may not be tremendous but the isolation of CSS file and HTML pages makes everything more manageable this way.
• Flash – Usually for the purpose of interactive program, video or navigation for a site,. But it’s usually in a large file size that causes slow loading speed of a website. Try replacing Flash files with other static or smaller application file size if possible.
• Images – Should always be kept within an appropriate file size and resolution to fit the screen. The pre-work of photo editing is essential to produce the right file size.
• Bandwidth and space – You can always pay more to get more bandwidth and space for web hosting, but what’s more important is to ensure that your web hosting provider is a reliable one. That means they do not put your account in a server that is being shared with thousands of other clients that leaves you a smaller portion of bandwidth and space to use.
