As some of you may already know I have some connections with Spain.  I own property here and my wife runs a Spanish property consultancy, which of course I do all the web design and seo on the website.  As we seem to be spending more time in Spain, in particular, Almerimar in Almeria I have decided to open an office here so I can work in Spain or the UK.  The wonders of the Internet

Anyway, if you have a requirement for a website and you are in Spain please contact our office in Almerimar.  Click on the link below for the number.

I reviewed a new book by Joel Comms a few days ago called Adsense Secrets 4. 

I always like to test things out before I recommend a product and this book was no exception.  In fact this was the quickest return on investment I have ever had!  Within a couple of days I had my $9.95 back and more. 

I have been running Google Adsense on a few of my web sites for some time and making a few pennies, around one or two dollars per day per web site.  After applying some of Joel’s techniques on just one of my web sites I have increased the income from less than $1 per day to more than $8 per day.  Sunday I earnt $8.20 from one site. 

This may not sound a lot but if you do the math, $8 per day = $240 per month per site. 10 web sites = $2,400 per month, which equals $28,800 per year! With out selling anything or dealing with customers, in fact without doing much at all. 

I am looking to build another 10, 20 or even 30 more web sites.  So with 40 sites I would be looking at a passive income of over $100,000 per year.

I hear you say, “It’s not that easy to build 40 web sites; that would take me months, or even years.” 

Would you be interested to find out how you could get 85 ready built web sites with Adsense already built in and ready to go?  Well all you need to do is click on the link below

SEO Made Easy

Due to overwelming demand for budget priced web sites, Sytec Web Design has introduced a new price list and a new range of cheap web sites.  You can now choose from the Basic, Standard or Bespoke range or if you are looking for ecommerce you can choose from Standard or Bespoke. 

A 2 page basic web site now starts at £95 and a standard ecommerce site will cost from £695.

For more information contact me at Sytec Web Design.

More and more of my clients have been asking me how they can edit their own web sites.  There are always plenty of options,

1. Learn a bit about Dreamweaver or FrontPage (sorry Microsoft Expression) and edit your own site. 
2. Use an online web site builder.
3. Pay a designer to create your web site with a CMS option.

Options 1 and 2 can be be quite tricky to get good quality results and option 3 has always been a bit expensive, until now.

Sytec Web Design now has a very flexible CMS package that can be easily adapted to most web sites.  So our graphics designer will design you a great looking web site and our developers will integrate CMS so you can log on and change your web site content whenever you like and it won’t cost you a penny. 

Take our new software for a test drive and see how easy it is to edit your own web site.

Today I bought yet another ebook on how to make money on the Internet with affiliate programs. I’m always on the lookout for new ideas so if I buy a book and learn one new thing I think I have done well.

I am surprised at the number of “new” books being published with old ideas, especially search engine optimisation information.  The book I am currently reading promises an easy way to make money on the Internet as always. It appears to be just another take on the Google Cash book written by Chris Carpenter a few years ago.  It even recommends software from a web site over 3 years old that if you used it today you web site would probably get banned by Google!

Its seems the best thing about most money making ebooks these days is the sales letters!  Still, I’ll ask for a refund from this one and keep trying.  When I find some thing new I’ll let you know.

In the mean time here’s the “secrets” that everyone seems to be writing about.

1. Find an affiliate program on Clickbank. Pick a program that has high gravity score (100+ is good)
2. Create a squeeze page (email capture page)
3. Send traffic to the squeeze page using PPC
4. Email your list to upsell other affiliate programs.
5. Repeat

I suppose I could have written 10 pages each of the above and sold it for 50 bucks but I think there are enough people doing that already.
 

Being a web site owner you are probably inundated with spam.  I tried all sorts of spam filters and finally decided to use SpamArrest, Which is a challenge/response system which works on the white list principle.  I only receive email now from people on my white list.  If some one sends me an email and they are not on my list, SpamArrest automatically sends them an email back to validate their email address. So no more emails from spammers.

I also wanted to protect my web forms and also my blog comments so I now use CAPTCHA, those little images of letters or numbers you need to type in to validate the form.  This shows you are human and at the moment those annoying spam robots can not read the images.  Leave a comment on this post to try it out. The CAPTCHA for WordPress blogs is a free plug and if you want to use a similar system for your web forms just Google free php CAPTCHA and you wil find plenty of help.

I am surprised to see how many professional web design companies are still offering a search engine submission service which is completely unnecessary.  Beware of ads saying:

We will submit your web site to 1,000s of search engines - Only £29.95 per month

Or:

Get listed in the Major search engines.  We will submit your site every 2 weeks - Only £150 per year.

Anything like this is a complete waste of money!

Here’s Why:
There probably aren’t 1,000 search engines on the Internet and if there was you don’t need your web site to be in all of them.  The 5 major search engines have over 90% of search engine traffic so getting your web site listed in the top 5 is all you need.
You don’t need to submit your web site every 2 weeks, in fact you don’t need to submit your web site at all!  All search engines use crawler, (or bot) software which scans the Internet for web sites.  All you need is a link from a web site that is already listed on the major search engines and the search engines will find and list your site. 

Please Note:  Getting your web site listed in the major search engines only requires one good link, getting your web site listed on the first page of the search engines usually takes a few more.  So, submitting your web site to search engines is a waste of time, but submitting your web site to directories can be very helpful.
