    info(1) How To Legally Protect Yourself As A Website Programmer Or Graphic Designer

    This is a list of things to do to cover your own professional interests whilst ensuring smooth business operation with customers. I wish someone had given me these bullet points when I was starting out, it would have saved me a lot of time, frustration and money.

    1. Have a detailed contract, with all the work outlined in a bullet point format and make sure it's agreed upon by both parties and signed and dated.

    2. In the contract between the yourself and the customer, always put a note that copyrights will be transferred upon full payment of services rendered.

    3. Always take a deposit – 50% is a good figure, it commits the client to finishing the job with you and working through any fixes required rather than just bailing on you because they change their mind, and trust me…they can! When you have spent countless hours working on a project only to find they change their mind continuously till your quality race horse has been turned into a camel and then they decide they won’t go ahead with the project it is exasperating at best, and money and time lost at worst – not to mention the frustration involved. » Read the rest of the entry..

    Thinking of buying backlinks? List of Tips to Assist

    1. Don't buy large backlink packages, it is best to do backlink building in a steady manner. If a search engine sees 5000 or more new backlinks coming to a website, they will know these are unnatural backlink growth and will not give you a boost in ranking. Slow and steady link building and growth is considered by search engines to be the normal / natural way a website should grow on the internet. I recommend doing at least 100 solid backlinks but no more than 500 backlinks per month.

    2. If you are hiring someone to do backlinks for you, ALWAYS ask them to show examples of the backlinks and make sure they are not submitting to directories. Directory backlinks are all but worthless. It sounds nice to have 200+ new backlinks coming to your website, but if these are directory backlinks they are worthless – 100 backlinks from directories is equal to about 1 good link from a relevant website that is linking back to your website. So avoid directories for backlink building.

      If you still feel like you want to get your website into as many directories as you can, just make an account with submitterbot.com and do the directory submissions yourself. It's easy to do and you just need to sit at your computer and select categories and submit. » Read the rest of the entry..
