    Thanks for the tip. I hope I can get all this soon enough. WordPress is already addicting though – I must say.

    Hello,

    Every now and then the supermachine comes to town and takes everyone by surprise. That was exactly how Yahoo arrived in town. Before that we saw the Microsoft gravy train in town, many people who bought shares in it earn substantial residual incomes for life. then the real big one, Google arrived, many also benefitted through buying their shares. Not all could have access to these shares. A new super search engine bigger than all three together is coming pretty soon. You want to be part of that gravy train ? Then join us now before the public stampede. Team Mammiwata NewNetQuest

    Hey, I just wanted to stop by and say hi, I liked your site and it was my pleasure to check it out. Check out my blog if you get a chance it’s ringlord737.wordpress.com Thanks, Dan

    What exactly did you want me to check out on your site Dan? I’m confused because it seems to exist only for the purpose of advertising and that’s not allowed on wordpress.com blogs. It will result in blog suspension or blog deletion http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/

    Nice post. One thing I have noticed is that SEO is a continuous process. It cannot be done perfectly in one shot. You have to be on your toes and try out different things to get ahead of your competitors. There have been instances where my site’s search engines rankings have improved considerably with few small tweakings.

    A few Simple Tips For website customization to make a proffesional looking page that produces sales. Color Scheme and Theme always choose matching colors, and example would be a dark background with visible words and designs, with a dark theme try not to mix too many bright colors into the design. What we should never do is mix colors like purple and yellow that is if you want a proffesional looking website personal websites do what you want. The Theme of the Website should match the company of organization if you have a website that was made to cater for a food company, it would be wise to stick with that category, rather than changing to a different theme like machinery. Your fonts should be used in regard to the formality of the website, a simple sans-serif of tahoma would suffice in most cases. There are always exceptions like if your website is for design or art groups you may want to use more fanciful designs and fonts.

    I know this all sounds like pretty general stuff and guess what it is! Making a Proffesional looking website is not hard but us internet marketers sometimes make it more difficult than it has to be becasue we want it to be perfect. The simple truth is it doesn’t matter what you want it matters what your target market wants and if you don;t give it to them someone else will. Before I had any sucess my thoughts were always about what I like and dont like and what I can afford and not afford. When I was thinking like that I never made a nickle, when my thinking changed so did the size of my bank account it slowly started growing as I slowly started changing.

    You may be confusing wordpress.com free hosted blogs with the self-hosted software that comes from wordpress.org – The two operate on different software and different policies apply to them.

    I think your advice on colors and fonts will only apply to the minority who have css editing skills and who choose to purchase a css ungrade for their non-commercial worpress.com free hosted blogs.

    WordPress.com bloggers have only two theme options and who cannot edit their templates http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/09/27/edit-my-templates/

    (1) At wordpress.com — Use one of a limited number of themes that we are allowed to use (we cannot use those from wordpress.org) -> Dashboard -> Design
    Select a theme from theose that have been adapted and ported to run on worpress MU (multiuser software). Use text widgets to personalize blogs.
    (2) At wordpress.com — Purchase a css customization upgrade and edit one of the themes that have been adapted and ported to run on wordpress.com multi-user software using Sandbox. http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/about-the-custom-css-upgrade/

    Also note that internet marketing from a blog has *NO* application here at wordpress.com (a) where free-hosted bloggers cannot advertise or conduct shopping cart business on their blogs, and (b) where the ToS states that wordpress.com blogs cannot be use to drive traffic to 3rd party sites, and (c) where doing so will result in blog deletion http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/
