Often when we create a new site , mini-site or blog we want to get a name for it. And the best name to choose is a name that will have the keywords in it. Why? Because this will help with your SEO and search engine rankings. But how will you use the domain (or sub domain)? Will you use a alltogetherdomain.com or a all-together-domain.com?

Search engines can have trouble reading the domain keywords, however, Google says that it can split your words very well, but we can’t be so sure. So a little trick that i read about is to use google to find if your domain name will need to use dashes or not.

Enter google.com and write your keywords (in this case alltogetherdomain).

If you get a “Did you mean?” hint after the search, with your words split up, then you are safe to use it without the dashes. If nothing is said, then, you will have to use dashes.

One thing that a webmaster needs to keep in mind is not to concentrate all his revenue sources. The key is to diversificate and experiment. If a webmaster concentrate for example on google adsense, someday he may have a really bad surprise with an email from google telling that his account was suspended…. From a day to another the only source he had was gone! Finding and making profitable the new source of income can be hard.

You all know of google adsense, bidvertiser, adsonar, widgetbucks and shoppingads that deliver ppc ads in banners, squares, whatever…. But does any of them deliver contentlink ads (inline contextual ads)? Nope! But Kontera does! In fact, that’s the only way they display their ads.

You probably will see some kontera link ads in this post.

Some people may think that contentlink may be intrusive, and some say that it might bring your adsense CTR rate down. I personally, am not bothered by these inline text ads. As for the decreasing of CTR i can’t tell you because i haven’t gathered enough info.

Kontera is now more open to accept smaller sites. You should grab this opportunity before they change their minds again!

I wish to all my readers and blog visitors a holy and Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you’ll get all the presents you wanted! Just remember: The best presents are not the bought ones! The best presents are not always physical. The best presents are sentimental! Learn to give value to little things!

AS you gathr with your family just spend one minute to think in all of the unfortunate ones… That do not have a family to share Christmas, or can’t be with them because they are away or are working. Remember the homeless, and if possible, give some warm meal to them, either directly, or trough local institutions.

Again, Merry Christmas!

Hello! As mentioned yesterday, im going to start a series of “how to create a mini site”. I have covered this subject a few times, and showed you how to create them using some scripts or software like Commonsense CMS, Rssmini 1.3, HyperVRE (which promised to be a great tool but in fact sucked).

I have 2 new tools to try out. But for now let’s stick with one. I really hope this new tool is way better than the previous ones. This tool takes in consideration that it helps you creating a mini site easy and fast, but it does not help you create the content. It’s up to you to create the content. Don’t fall in temptation to copy other site content and don’t use rss feed to fill you pages. Use your own created content, your own words.

So, what tool am i talking about?

19pages. Have you ever heard of it? It’s a software created by the guys at 45n5 that will help you deploy a mini site real easy, real fast!

So 19 pages? yeah, the software is limited to 20 pages and 19 articles. It’s a mini site…. it is not supposed to have many pages! :p

Here is a quick presentation of the software:

19 pages
So what’s good about it?

1. It’s easy to install. Just upload to your host, edit the config.php file and there is no need for a database.
2. It’s easy to use. You have only what you need for. A place to write your articles and a place to add tags.
3. SEO friendly

All right now that we have a software to use, the next step is finding the niche mini site we want to use. And for that we need to do some keyword researching.

That, my friends, i’ll leave it for Creating mini sites - Part 2. Stay tuned
