But cheer up; it’s a problem that can easily be overcome.  Just scout around for a better web host that you can have your site transferred to. In the US, search for Web Hosting or Web Hosting Reviews on Google. In Sweden where I live, I can recommend Webbhotell Recensioner se, check their “Cheap Hosting” alternatives Billiga Webbhotell.   The only concern is to make sure it gets up and running in the new host in the shortest time.

Being down for any length of time is a webmaster’s worst nightmare.  Check newly established web host providers offering great savings to penetrate the market.  Take advantage of that and the fact they still have few customers to eat their bandwidth.  Or you could hire the big names known to offer guarantees and have a reputation to protect.  Just be prepared to pay a premium.

These days, consumer webhosting assumes other functions that put it in the league of industrial strength web hosting solutions.  Starting with alternative redundancy for disaster recovery, all the way to ancillary website management functions like SEO and e-commerce support, web hosting has become an enterprise suite on it own. 

With the current financial crisis and people losing their jobs or getting pay cuts and unpaid forced leaves, there are more opportunities for e-commerce for new business startups right from the home.  Consultancy services and small cottage industries are best served with online marketing. 

Web hosting services focused on the consumer markets should be equipping themselves with the right skill set to help laid-off workers become more entrepreneurial right form the home and on the internet.  Who says nothing good will come out of economic crisis?

Tech savvy torrent users have a way to cover up torrent traffic of ISP’s so they won’t get their hands on them.  BitTorent and utorrent client programs have a configurable user setting that allows you to encrypt outgoing and incoming torrent traffic so ISPs won’t be able to distinguish one from other internet traffic.  Torrent how-to FAQ sites abound online discussing how to increase torrent traffic and this is one way to do it. Check your torrent software if it has one.

But you’ve bought the disc of the movie or song.  You should be able to do what you want with it and its contents. There are people who just love to share things, and that includes files and torrents sites that are only too happy to get them uploaded. 

A simple visit to these sites reveals hundreds of thousands of movie titles and songs that anyone with a torrent client software can download.  All for free.  Nobody is making money out of it.  Free Torrents seem like the best thing that ever happened on the internet.  What do you think?

Just make sure, it’s really funny and update it regularly especially if it’s a series.  Your blog visitors will love you for it.  Nothing beats a funny strip or even a joke that can make your visitors laugh when they visit your blog.  Try it.

Anything that you think will interest many other people and drive traffic to your blog .  Once you can show your blog has big enough traffic, have advertisers place ads on your blog by joining online ad programs.  They love sites that have sufficient traffic to see their ads.  That’s where the money will come from.

The challenge is really to strike a balance between the two.  That’s what distinguishes a seasoned, sought after and highly paid web developer from the amateur type who may be technically or even artistically equipped to design Flash animated web pages that will never load fast enough.

One easy trick you as a web owner or webmaster can do is to visit as many websites from frequently visited sites as well as award-winnings sites.  Do some reverse engineering by accessing their html or asp codes. Then copy the form and structure.  That’s the best amateur way to get your hands dirty on making a website that really works.

That’s just fine; there are many software tools that let amateurs generate websites and there are templates online that you can download for free.  Just make sure your site gets noticed and once noticed, that you won’t turn away visitors.  SEO methods will do the work to get your site noticed.  But you could lose your visitors if your web design is not good enough. 

That means putting only what matters and what catches the attention on the first page.  Use relevant images and graphics to spice up your page, but sparingly so that it loads fast. Nobody wants to wait for your site to load.  And nobody wants to scroll through a long page to get to what they want. 

So don’t put long articles there, just the title and maybe the first paragraph and the rest in the page devoted to the article with links to the other sections. First impression lasts.  That goes for your homepages as well.

Once the module is done, you have the options to create a custom section title that will appear on Google’s News Homepage. You then have a choice of edition option for UK, US or Asian, source location which optionally allows you to restrict the news to certain locations.
