| MEMBERS: | 9 Tips for Creating a Site Map for Visitors and Spiders
Not every site needs a site map, they can certainly be a good idea. Site maps provide a dual purpose: They provide search engine spiders easy access to all of your site pages and they provide site visitors easy access to all of your site pages. The difference is that search engines and visitors access your site map differently and therefore there are different methods that need to be applied to creating site map(s) that are friendly for both engines and search spiders. Small sites typically don't need a site map so long as all pages are linked in the main navigation. Once you get into main and sub-navigation menu's then site maps are helpful in allowing search engines and visitors to quickly find anything they are looking for within just a couple of clicks. A single site map can be used for both purposes or multiple site maps can be created. Here we'll address creating site maps for spiders and humans separately. Site Map For Spiders .xml file An .xml document should be added to your site's root directory containing links to all site pages. This .xml file should then be referenced should be compiled and placed into a proper .xml document which should be uploaded into the root directory. Robots.txt file With your .xml site map file in place you must then make it accessible to search spiders. Reference the site map in your robots.txt file by adding a line for sitemap: URL (example: sitemap: http://www.polepositionmarketing.com/sitemap.xml) Keep current Be sure that your .xml file is updated and uploaded frequently, or at least as often as pages are added or removed from your site. Large sites should implement an automated site map update monthly or even weekly or daily. Site Map For Visitors Navigation links A site map designed for human visitors is just like any other website page. Link to the site map page should be included in the primary navigation or the site's global footer. Visitors should be able to find this link without too much searching. Additional page links Site map should also be linked from various pages within the site such as Help pages and your custom 404-redirect page. This helps point visitors to the site map as a quick and easy means to find what they need. Overview It's helpful to provide a short overview paragraph at the top of your site map page. This can be a nice introduction should someone land on this page directly from a search engine or elsewhere. Heading and layout The layout of the site map should present a clear visual hierarchal structure or your website. Both headings and sub-headings should be used above properly grouped links. Text links & descriptions Site map should primarily use textual links and page should not be cluttered with images or other distractions. It is also a good idea to provide an additional short description (provided there is room) for each link that allows the visitor to better understand where each link will take them. Keep current Be sure that your site map is updated and uploaded frequently, or at least as often as pages are added or removed from your site. As I said above, not every site needs a site map. But those that do should be sure that the site map(s) they create are actually benefiting them. And the best way to do that is to make sure your site maps provide maximum usability for visitors and search engine spiders.
Beta - A Programming Language
BETA is a pure object oriented programming language developed by Scandinavian School in System Development, Nordic Universities. This was released after a series of enhancements of their first object oriented language SimulaI which was a simulation language. Soon it was generalized into Simula67 which had the object oriented framework, and worked on the concepts of class, sub-class, virtual functions etc. This was enhanced by another object oriented language Delta that worked for system description; this meant it could express predicate logic and state changes. This was a non-executable effort and thus did not qualify as a language. So it was decided to design a programming language Gamma that works as Delta but is executable. Eventually, Gamma was never made, rather Beta was made. While Beta was being made, it was realized that Beta was much more powerful than what Gamma would be or ever could be. Beta is a programming language like C++. Currently, BETA is available on UNIX workstations, on PowerPC Macintosh and on Intel-based PCs. BETA has an optimum balance between compile time checking and run time checking. The type cast checking is done at compile time, however, for the entire set of type check and type conversion to be done at compile time requires a lot of time and thus increases the complexity of a program. Thus, an optimum balance has been made. BETA is a logical description of the language. It works on the concepts of class, sub-class, virtual functions etc. It also contains transient variables, ones whose scope is program execution, and persistent variables, those whose values are retained in the disk space and are available at the time of next execution.
Learning to Build Websites The Easy Way
Most beginners get screwed up when it comes to website building. Often than not, this is what exactly holding them back to make money online. If you are one of them, let me tell you one thing for sure; building websites is not as difficult as what you might think. Well, I am not saying that it is just a piece of cake either, but learning to build websites worth the investment and effort. This article is about that, learning to build websites the easy way; much easier than you might ever think before... Easy Website Theme Everyone knows something about anything, including you. This can be your passion, hobby or experience from the job. You will get nothing if you keep that knowledge for yourself and even if you share them in the offline world. However, internet can be totally different. You can get paid for your knowledge sharing through various monetization plans. It works for me and will work for you too. But then you might ask, If building website is that easy, why most fails building a successful website? The answer is simply because, they fail to recognize and act upon the significant difference between offline and online trade. In the Internet, people look for information through Search Engine (SE) and web pages that ranked in the first page will benefit the most. Therefore, it is critical for you to optimize your web pages for certain targeted keywords so that you can rank high in the SE Ranking Position (SERP). Easy Web Building Tool You can build your website with other free website building software. Wordpress and Blogger are probably the most popular free web building tool available in the Internet. However, both offer less flexibility and professional looks since they are geared towards personal blog or online diary than for business ventures. Nevertheless, you can use both to get some feel of how to build a great website. In my opinion, you should consider buying advanced website builder if you are serious about making money online. These softwares offer additional features compared to free tools such as flexible web editing and built in SE Optimization (SEO) tools. The initial investment can be easily recovered by the earnings potential you will be getting. I prefer Site Build It as my web building tool. Easy Traffic Generation Traffic is the one that will determine your success. Although the more traffic is better, nothing can beat the targeted one ever. Therefore, keep your marketing campaign to the most reliable and targeted sources so that you can enjoy very high conversion rate (percentage of visitors that turn to customers). Article marketing is free and among the most effective Internet marketing campaign. Since you are the master or the so called "guru" in your field, writing a good article should not a big deal at all. Keep on writing great contents to attract more traffic. Best of all, it works forever. Part from that, you can connect your website with others through some social networking. Networking builds relationship and trust, which then makes your monetization effort much easier.
