In the next coming weeks and months I will be writing up an article series called
“How to Convert Web Traffic to Customers”.
The main theme of the article series will focus on how to change web traffic into customers. I have learned it's easy to get traffic, but it's a whole different ball game when it comes to converting the traffic into customers, readers and followers.
This article is the beginning of the “How to Convert Web Traffic to Customers” series, I plan to go over simple tips that make a big difference in converting traffic to customers. This will be a straight list and notes on why the tip matters when running a Website.
So in true “Howbits” fashion, time to get into the Simple Blogging & Website Tips:-

*A special note about Virtual Web hosting – Your Primary domain name that you use when setting up your account is the only domain that can have a Private SSL Certificate. The addon domains will need to use a Shared SSL Certificate.
So if you plan on hosting an e-commerce website, make it the primary domain. Mmhosting and Hostgator can move domains from addon to primary if needed, but once moved, your websites with an Absolute path will break until you update them with the new Absolute path.
Review Time
I would like to start this article with the 2 best web host in my opinion. Hostgator and MMhosting, they have been awesome web host. From customer support to server reliability and speed.

I crashed my own databases.) Read More »
