SEO For The Common Webmaster

I love when I discover new sources to find the best web hosting. I recently was asked to do a sponsor review for Web Hosting Bluebook. This is a web hosting review site that offers information help you choose the best hosting company to meet your needs.

The first thing I noticed when visiting their site was the nice clean design of the homepage. It clearly lists the top ten cheap web hosting companies. The reviews are well written and all the information is clearly posted when you click the review button. They state all the features of each host along with the prices.

I decided that this information is the same as most review sites so I decided to check out the rest of the features on their website. Their articles are very informative and great for new webmasters. They cover some topics that are not covered on other web hosting review sites. They discuss how to set up a website and also the possibility of running a website on your own computer instead of hosting (Not a great idea). The articles give basic information but I would have loved to see more in-depth articles. However, for newbie’s, they are worth a quick read.

I moved from the articles to the forum that is included with this site. It is a great idea to have a forum. However, this forum is quite new so it is very slow and has almost no members. I am hoping that that may improve over time. I next went to the blog with has been disabled. I was a bit disappointed with that. I was looking forward to some great posts regarding hosting and other related topics.

They do offer a newsletter to keep you up to date on news and products of interest to webmaster. There are a few free Word press themes that are featured on Web Hosting Bluebook. I checked them out and they have a couple of nice ones. The final feature was a glossary of terms related to hosting that will help a new webmaster understand what everything means.

This was an overall nice website. It serves the purpose it was intended to which is to provide reviews of cheap web hosting. I would have loved to see a more active forum and a great blog. However, the website is well worth a visit for those new to web hosting or those looking to find a new web host. Feel free to check them out and let me know what you think by leaving a comment here.

We webmasters are always looking for good web hosting. The best option is to own your own server and handle everything yourself. However, this is not always possible so a webmaster needs to weed through the hosting options to find the best solution.

Web Hosting Choice is a site that is designed to help sort through the crap to bring the best web hosting sites to the top. When making your choice, it is very important to understand the terms and to understand what they offer and what you need. Their website offers a full guide and explains what to look for and what to avoid.

Like most web hosting review sites, they list the top ten and other reviews of web hosting companies. However, they also offer a way to search for something particular you may be looking for. For example, if you are looking for adult hosting, all you have to do is click on their link for that and it will show all the hosts that accept adult sites. Web Hosting Choice also has many guides from a basic guide for new webmasters to a guide about avoiding hosting scams, they try their best to inform visitors on what to look for and how to find the best web hosting.

The site is very easy to use and offers some good information. The site is not much different than many other web hosting review sites but it is worth the visit for a webmaster just starting out or someone looking for a new web host.

Being a webmaster is one of the most enjoyable things to be. It is entertaining, exciting, and offers many challenges. However, the downside is that very few webmasters can survive without another source of income. There are some that do and those are the ones I would love to hear from.

If you are a webmaster making a nice living just as a webmaster, please share your story here in the comment section. It will inspire other webmasters and you end up with a do-follow link to your blog or website. If you have a really good story that is true, feel free to visit my contact page and drop me a line and you can share your story as a guest blogger.

One thing is sure, webmasters love to share ideas with other webmasters so please submit your story today!

Google offers some of the best webmaster tools in the business. Without a doubt, they are the leader when it comes to Internet search and webmaster related stuff. However, wake up webmasters, Google is not a God.

I am a member at many webmaster forums and I am always seeing threads started asking of this or that is allowed by Google. Some stuff is related directly to Google’s services like Adsense and Adwords. However, many times webmasters are asking what they can or can not do on their own site. You, the webmaster, own the site! Google may lower your search rankings but with the right marketing and advertising, that will not mean the end of your website.

Look at John Chow’s blog. He does not even rank for the words “John Chow.” His blog is still one of the most profitable on the Internet. I am not saying you should not try to rank high on Google. I am not saying you should say, “FU Google.” What I am trying to say is that your site should be built for you and your readers, not for Google. You should not spend your whole time worrying rather anything you say or do is going to have you removed from Google.

Truth be told, they need us as much as we need them. Their rules are generally fair and try to prevent spam sites from reaching the top. If you are an ethical webmaster, there should never be a problem. If you are trying dishonest tricks to beat out the competition, you may get caught.

Be the best webmaster you can and do all the honest link building and advertising you can and your website will be successful. Above all, remember, Google is not a God!

I purchased a new computer and I had lost my passwords for one of my blogs. For some reason when I hit lost password screen, the reset key that was sent to me was invalid. I was in a panic because I did not know much about resetting it through my cpanel on my hosting server.

I found the information after some searching and thought I would share it for any others who may run into the same problem.

Fort you need to go to phpMyAdmin and open the database that you have your Word press Blog. Find the users and hit browse. Find the User that is yours (the admin) and click edit. Now you need to search Google and find a md5 hasher and type in your new password and it will generate a code. Place this code into the password field and hit go to save. This should reset your password to a new password and you should be able to access your blog admin.

I hope this helps someone else because I know how it feels to not be able to figure out how to get into your admin panel.
