    SEO Addon Domains / Subdomains

    21

    This article is about the use of Folders vs Add-on Domains, also referred to as Subdomains, and the advantages and disadvantages of SEO and PageRank for both.

    Naysayers – Web SEO Guru Idiots

    Many web gurus will argue that search engines will see that the IP address is the same for each website and will put the website together in search results, and not split them out. If this were true, then hundreds of websites that are on shared hosting, that have the same IP address,  would be searched and indexed as one website. Another fact against what these web gurus think, is that if this were true, then why do the major websites such as Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc. Practice this for their websites?? If you type in Google in a search engine you will see a long list of results for Google, such as news.google.com, maps.google.com, help.google.com, and the list goes on and on.

    Folder Domain – Pros and Cons

    When I say folders I am referring to folders that are one level higher on the site root. An example is http://howbits.com/examplefolder/.

    Pros

    1. When using folders you get more content for your website. Each folder, and whatever is in the folder is consider content for the main site, so if I make howbits.com/news/, well anything that ends up in the News folder is more content for my website and everyone knows Content is king. Search Engines love websites with a lot of content, so this of course will increase my ranking in search results
    2. PageRank is shared with the folders of the website, so whatever my PageRank is in Howbits.com, chances are if the links are built right, then any content in the news folder will get the rank share.
    3. Folders are easier to maintain then Add-on Domains, because they are still part of the main website.
    4. If the websites are linked correctly, you can get an indented listing using the main website with good SEO, and then connecting to another page with poor ranking, but the ranking can ride on the ranking of the main website and thus get better search results by proxy.

    Tidbits & Trivia Part 3

    1

    What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common?

    A. All invented by women.

     

    Q. What is the only food that doesn’t spoil?

    A. Honey

    Q. Which day are there more collect calls than any other day of the year?

    A. Father’s Day

    In Shakespeare’s time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase……… "goodnight, sleep tight."

    It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month. Or as we know it today as the honeymoon.

    In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down."

    It’s where we get the phrase "mind your P’s and Q’s"

    Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service.

    "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.

    Pest & Weed Control Tips

    2

    Squirrel Away!
    To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn’t hurt the plant and the squirrels won’t come near it.

    No More Mosquitoes
    Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

    Good-bye Fruit Flies
    To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid and mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

    Get Rid of Ants
    Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home," & can’t digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so,  esp. if it rains, but it works & you don’t have the worry about pets or  small children being harmed!

    Newspaper keeps weeds away
    Start putting in your plants, then wet some newspapers and put layers around the plant overlapping as you go cover with mulch / Dirt and forget about weeds. Weeds will go through some gardening plastic, but  they will not get through wet newspapers.

    Food Tips & Tricks

    Reheat Pizza
    Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm.
    This keeps the crust crispy.. No soggy microwave pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

    Easy Deviled Eggs
    Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up.
    Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up , mixing thoroughly .
    Cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

    Expanding Frosting
    When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes.
    You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount.
    You also eat less sugar/calories per serving.

    Reheating refrigerated bread
    To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water, a glass cup works best.
    The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

    Measuring Cups
    Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don’t dry the cup.
    Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
