PSPINC What's New Newsletter Vol.63 "Internet Advertising"

May

Are you thinking, “I want to advertise on the Internet, but I don't know where or how to do it?” Isn't that what you've been thinking? We thought it was important to advertise on the Internet, but we didn't know where to advertise, how to advertise, and with what budget. Of course, there are other ways to advertise on the Internet, such as utilizing SEO, but this time I would like to talk about paid advertising.

It is the same with any advertising, but the first thing you need to do is to narrow down the scope of who you are advertising to as much as possible. Narrowing the scope of your ad will increase its effectiveness and will also help save your clients advertising dollars. When narrowing the scope it is good to look at things like "region," "gender," "age," "hobbies," etc. Think about effective advertising by fully understanding the product you want to sell and the target of your advertisement.

Once you have narrowed down your target, you will automatically know which medium to use for your advertisement. Start with a small budget and see the response. You may think that advertising will be effective in proportion to your budget, but in reality, it will grow as a multiplier to your advertising cost. Therefore, an expense of 100 may have an effect of 1, but an expense of 1000 may have an effect of 100. Then again, an expense of 1,000 may also produce an effect of 10,000. First of all, it is important to find an advertisement that is as effective as possible.

Where to advertise is often a matter of trial and error. It is not easy to do this by yourself. Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. has learned few tricks about advertising on the Internet by many failures. Using what we have learned, we are happy to assist our web hosting customers. If you are thinking of advertising online, please feel free to contact us.

3 Ways WebdeStats 2 is Beneficial For Your Website

May

When it comes to your website, you can never have too much information. With all of our Dreamersi web hosting plans, our customers get free and easy access to WebdeStats 2. This is our web stats application designed to provide useful information about the performance of their website.

Below are just 3 reasons that you should be using WebdeStats 2 and Dreamersi for your website.

#1 - No Setup Required

Unlike other web stats software, when you host your website with Dreamersi, WebdeStats 2 is running from day one as it is built into our hosting platform. There is no need to hire a web developer to integrate a tracking code, saving you time and money. And who doesn't like to save time and money?!

#2 - Better Track Unique Visitors

While many web stats programs track unique visitors based on cookies, WebdeStats 2 tracks unique visitors by IP address. Both methods have their pros and cons, but it is much easier to clear cookies than to change one's IP address. This makes WebdeStats 2 more effective at identifying unique visitors to your website.

#3 - Easy-to-understand Numbers at a Glance

While you can never have too much information, it is only helpful if you understand what is being said and where to find it. With WebdeStats 2 you can opt-in to receive a weekly email that provides you with a simple summary for those who just want quick information. No digging through overly complex admin panels, saving you more of that valuable commodity - time.

If you are ready to get started with a new website or want to migrate an existing site to Dreamersi - we are there to help. Pick a Dreamersi plan perfect for you and get started today!

PSPINC What's New Newsletter Vol.62 "Advertising"

May

Vol.62

Recently, advertising using media outlets such as newspapers, television, radio, magazines, and direct mail has been losing popularity. I've heard that the circulation of print media, such as newspapers and magazines, in particular, is decreasing by more than 10% every year, and I agree with this. Also, the media (known as the press) are seeing a decline in viewership. I believe this is because these legacy media outlets are being replaced by the Internet.

When you spend your advertising money now, which area do you consider advertising in? I doubt there is anyone today who doesn't think of the Internet when asked this question. So, if you think of the Internet as a medium for advertising, what kind of sites do you advertise on?

One of the first that comes to mind is Google. A lot of Internet traffic comes from search results within search engines. So advertising with search sites like Google is effective, but the problem is that it is expensive and not easy to manage. It would be better if you could manage your ads and control the "when", "where", "who", "what", and "how much", but this is not easy. In this sense, advertising within search engines is currently being done by companies with large capital, who are spending a lot of time and money.

Everyone wants to advertise effectively. Nowadays, when we talk about advertising, we are talking about Internet advertising. It is not easy to have the necessary knowledge to effectively advertise on the Internet. In many cases, it is a lot of trial and error. However, for businesses, advertising is a necessity. So I think it's important now to try out advertising even with a small budget.

If you think that advertising on legacy media is a waste of money, you can try Internet advertising on a small scale. And if you find an effective online ad, you can continue to advertise by expanding it. In my company, we are also accumulating know-how by trying PR activities on websites such as Google and Facebook. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to share information with you.

The Importance of Archiving Email

May

A lot of email service providers only allow you a certain amount of storage for your email. This quota is usually by individual account or the storage is shared amongst all your email accounts. Either way your storage is not infinite.

By archiving your email locally to your computer you can remove those old emails from the server freeing up space. Outlook, Mac Mail, and Thunderbird all have built-in options to help archiving.

If you would like to know more please give us a call or send an email we would be more than happy to help.

Thank you for choosing Pacific Software Publishing Inc., your Dreamersi provider.
Technicians are standing by Monday - Friday 9am - 6pm (PST) ready to assist your technical issues. We can be reached at (425) 957-0808 or 1-800-232-3989.

PSPINC What's New Newsletter Vol.61 "What is a Server"

Apr

Vol. 61

We often use the word "server" when talking about the Internet. What is a server? Some people ask me if a server is a type of device or a specific OS (operating system). For example, in my company, we have over 500 servers in our data center. It sounds great, but what does it mean?

What is the difference between a server and the PC that you are using?

The answer is, that both your PC and the server are basically the same. The PC you are using can be used as a server. However, a server has its role and certain modifications to perform that role. Let's look at the hardware differences, which are just modifications to keep the computer running stably, and are not absolutely necessary.

Duplicate power supplies so if one of them breaks, your server can still run.
The network cards are also duplicated so that if one of them breaks, your server can still run.
More memory than a normal PC
It uses multiple, high-speed CPUs
More disk space

These are some of the ways a PC and a server differ, but beyond that, there are no other major differences.

Next, let's consider the usage.

On a PC, individuals use various software to do their work.

A server processes and delivers the necessary data to a large number of users.

A PC allows users to install and use any software they want, such as word processing software to write sentences. A server, however, is not something that an individual user can install and use as needed. From the beginning, the software installed on a server is determined based on its use. For example, a server with mail server software installed is designated to be a mail server. A server that stores data is called a storage server and a server that hosts websites is called a web server.

This is the difference between a server and a PC. Servers are difficult to set up and require expert knowledge to maintain and operate. This is the reason why people don't have servers in their offices.

How To Customize WordPress Permalinks

Apr

Permalinks are the URLs to your pages and posts on your WordPress website. These are permanent links search engines and web visitors see when they go to your site. For these reasons, it’s important to customize your WordPress permalinks for better SEO and visibility.

WordPress Permalinks Default Settings

By default, WordPress sets your permalinks to “Plain”. You can find the permalinks settings under Settings > Permalinks. This sets your pages and posts URLs with a number, such as "http://wordpress.dreamersi.net/?p=123"

This is not very user-friendly, because the address does not tell the users what the page is about. Search engines will also associate your pages with a number, which is not good for SEO. The URLs to your pages and posts should contain relevant keywords that reflect your content.

Changing WordPress Permalinks

Changing permalinks will affect existing pages and posts you have already created. If you have existing pages with good search engine performance, you should create 301 redirects to preserve your traffic. Install 301 Redirects – Easy Redirect Manager plugin to setup 301 redirects to prevent a loss of search ranking on your existing pages.

Ideal Settings for WordPress Permalinks

Under Settings > Permalinks, change your permalinks settings from “Plain” to “Post name”. Then click “Save Changes”. This will change the URL addresses of your pages to be more search engine friendly. For an example, compare "http://wordpress.dreamersi.net/?p=123" to "http://wordpress.dreamersi.net/customize-wordpress-permalinks/", the latter using post name tells the users what the content is about from just the URL address. This will also help Google index your page as the URL contains relevant keywords.

Customizing Permalinks

You can customize your permalinks further under “Custom Structure”. A popular custom structure uses /%category%/%postname%/, this would include the category name in the URL address. For an example, if you were to create a how to customize wordpress permalinks blog under the category “Better SEO”, the URL would come out as:

"http://wordpress.dreamersi.net/better-seo/customize-wordpress-permalinks/"

You see how this might improve page rankings, as the URL includes several relevant keywords that users might search for on Google.

Why Not Day and Month

Putting a date on your content URL tends to make your content seem outdated very quickly. When people are searching for answers, they are less likely to click on something dated 5 years ago. People want to know the content they click on is up-to-date and relevant.

However, there are times when putting a date in the URL makes sense. If you are a magazine publication, putting dates in the URLs will allow your users to search for specific content they want to read. High traffic news websites will also benefit from having proper date structure in their addresses.

In Summary

WordPress default permalink setting is not user-friendly, and it’s bad for SEO. Having the proper permalink setting configured from the start is ideal. Utilize a 301 redirect plugin if you have existing content and you want to preserve their traffic when making permalink updates.
