JustHost is the Best Webhost

Getting website traffic is still by far, the most common problem for newbies. It can be frustrating - you try to use all the right keywords only for Google to send 1 or 2 visitors to your site.

The easiest and and most effective way to get traffic to your site is start participating on some social networking sites. Specifically forums - find the right forum in your niche and you could begin building a network of like-minded people who will be more than happy to help you promote your content.

I currently participate in a few forums that I enjoy. Try joining TheInfopreneur forum - it's an awesome setting where participants can share their quality posts that others will share. It works best when everyone shares everyone else's posts. Your content could go viral really fast that way.

Just register and then contact the site's owner if you'd like to become a member. It's that simple.

During the entire time that I've been using Justhost, I can honestly say, I've been very fortunate - I haven't experienced any major site outages or malicious hacks.

I've come to the conclusion that is no coincidence.

It's obvious that Justhost is committed to quality. Every encounter with customer service has been excellent - they've gone above an beyond to show me that they appreciate my service. So when time came to renew my service just a few weeks ago, I gladly updated my payment information - I didn't want the first interruption of service I experienced to be due to lack of payment :)

I've been a Justhost customer for over a year now - when I was trying to decide on a webhost, I was worried, because I thought that affordable price, would mean less than quality service.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that throughout this year, every request for support was answered within the promised time frame (usually within an hour). During the entire year, I experienced minimal outages. No server issues ever lasted more than a few moments and as promised, I truly received unlimited bandwidth.

My only problems were the result of my own technical handicaps. But even then, help was only an email away to tech support.

That's why I devoted this lens to helping other Justhost newbies navigate their way around the cPanel, with a focus on WordPress users.

If you're still trying to decide if this host is right for you, I assure you, that if you're looking for affordable and dependable webhosting - your search is over.

Have you ever wrote a brilliant blog post and then forgot to tweet it out to all of your followers? I've definitely been there and done that!

Fortunately, there's TwitterFeed

All you have to do is create an account and add your blog's feed. Anytime you publish a new blog post it will send out a tweet to your followers. You can also have it sent to Facebook, too! That simple!

If you would like to create a RSS feed for your Justhost website, you'll need to use a special feed creator in order to do so. This will allow you to create an RSS feed that others can subscribe to and receive updates. This will allow you to stay in contact with your followers so that they'll know when changes are occurring on your site. It will also make it possible for others to display your feed in their sidebar RSS widgets, which is an excellent way to increase referral traffic.

You'll need to use FeedForAll to create your feed. After that, anytime you post something new it will be updated and your subscribers will be able to see it either in a feed reader or via email updates. You'll need to follow FeedForAll's instructions for uploading to your server.

Have you been able to track your Justhost website traffic effectively? Do you know how many people are actually making it to your site? Where they are coming from? Which keywords they used? How long they're are staying? What they're clicking out on?

It's important to know all of these things because knowing can help you make adjustments - especially if things are NOT going the way you want them to. If you notice people are pouring in from a particular website, that could cue you in on an effective strategy you've been using there. That's something you should replicate.

If you notice a particular set of keywords are bringing people to your site - that will let you know if your content is appropriate or if changes are needed. Sometimes you'll discover that people are popping up on your site using keywords you hadn't planned for. Perhaps you don't have that actual type of content - well maybe you should consider writing a few articles for those keywords.

That's what I do here. I take cues from my website traffic stats. When I see new keywords that I haven't written about, I immediately start writing some content. I don't want to lose the next visitor who come looking for it. As a matter of fact, this very module is the direct result of someone searching for a way to track their Justhost website traffic stats. I hadn't considered it before, but here it is, here's how you can track your justhost website traffic stats:

1. Go to Go Stats Sign up for an account. Follow their instructions for adding your site and adding their code. I recommend using the invisible counter, since web stat counters are a bit played out. If you're just starting out, you really don't want people to know that only 20 people have found your site, anyway. Go with the invisible counter and place it anywhere between the [body] and [/body] tag (preferably just before the [/body] tag.

GoStats is great because it allows you to see the IP addresses of your visitors and you'll know what region they're in.

For more detail, I use this next site, too, because it allows me to see where my website traffic came from and where they went. Plus they've got a great social community that can also help you increase exposure to your site. So go ahead, sign up, add your site and while your at it, join one of my communities!
2. Go to MyBlogLog

3. I also love to use Feedjit. It's a cool widget you can display in your sidebar that tells you down to city and state, the geographic location of your visitors. It's probably not a necessity, but I love it because it allows my visitors to know that there are a part of a community that includes people all over the world.

Anyway, let me know how these work out for you!

Do you still have the Twitter default background on your Twitter profile? If you plan on creating a professional image, then you're going to have to change that asap! Since it's very unlikely that Twitter will have a template that's similar to what you've got on your website, you're going to have to create your own.

For an example of what I'm talking about take a look at my blog and compare it to my Twitter Background.

I've got good news for you - it's super easy. Here's how -

To create a Twitter background that matches your website or at least elements of your website, you'll need to:

1. Go to your website and take a screenshot - press the "PrintScreen" key on your keyboard. It's not going to actually print, it will instead take a picture of what's currently showing on your screen and copy it.

2. Then open the "Paint" program. (Go to your "Start" menu, go to "All Programs", "Accessories" then click "Paint")

3. Go to "Edit" then click "Paste" or simply "Right Click" in the white space and then click "Paste." Your screenshot should appear, but wait, you'll need to crop it so that you'll have only those portions of your screen that you want.

Optional: At this point you may add more elements to it, such as pictures, text or buttons. If you'd like to add shadows, you may use PowerPoint to edit your pictures and then "save as picture" from there. If you need help matching colors, read, "Having trouble matching colors on your Justhost site? How to Use Color Pix in 3 easy steps" below.

5. Once you're happy with what you have, save the picture in PNG format.

6. Log in to Twitter.

7. Go to "Settings."

8. Scroll down to "Change Background Image"

9. Browse and upload the screenshot picture you've just edited.

10. Do forget to Save Changes.

11. Change "Design Colors" so that they match your new background.

Creating a button for your site not only strengthens your site's brand, but it's a easy way to get more backlinks to your site. Visitors who enjoy your site don't mind showing their appreciation by displaying a button when it's eye-catching and easy to post. This module will show you how to make a button for your site and a text area box that will enable your visitors to easily copy and paste a button that contains a link back to your site.

1. First, you'll need to create a button that contains visual elements from your site. It's easier to select a small image or portion from your site and create a simple button from that. I made my button button taking a screen shot of my blog and then copying a small area that I thought represented my site especially well. Take a look at this screen shot of my site:



2. Create a screenshot of your site by going to your site and then hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. Some computers require you to hit the "function" key simultaneously. It's not going to print, but what it does is captures a copy of your screen. So open your "Paint" program, hit the "Edit" button, and then click "Paste". This will create a copy of your website screen that you can edit.

3. Choose several small elements to copy and play around with to create something that suites you and your site. Take a look at the portion I copied:



4. Use the "Text Box" feature to add your site's name. Check out my button:



5. Now create a text area that your visitors can use to copy and paste your button along with a link back to your site. You'll want to create a text area box to accompany your button that looks like this:


(My finished button and text area box)
When pasted it will display your button.

Here's the code (you'll need to replace the yourURL with your image and link URL) You'll have to copy it manually since it's presented here as image - that's the only way I could post it here. This is the code you need:



Post this code in your side bar or wherever you'd like along with a visual image to share your button. A good way to encourage your visitors to post your button and create more backlinks to your site - host a contest on your site and make posting your button an entry requirement.

If you've found this post to be helpful, feel free to pass it on, and while you're at, go ahead and take my button for your site. :) Just click the button below. It will take you to my blog where you can copy and paste the code from the box located on my sidebar. :)


Get a Highly Favored Button for Your Site

To maintain a color scheme perfectly on your website; for button or other graphics creation, you'll need to know the exact color codes to enter into HTML, or CSS style-sheets, so I use Color Pix. (I used this to create my Highly Favored button).

Color Pix allows you to point at any element on your screen and identifies the various codes computers use to create that color such as Hex and RBG codes. So matching the perfect color is really a point and click away.

Follow these steps to download, then start pointing

1. Click this link to download Color Pix:
http://colorpix.en.softonic.com/

2. Follow download instructions and then run the program.

3. Open Color Pix and then point to any color anywhere on your screen, and then jot down the codes.

That's it!

LinkReferral.com is a great social media site that makes it possible to come into contact with thousands of new sites. The great thing about it is, you are rewarded by how many sites you visit and interact with as opposed to how many visitors come to your site. LinkReferral makes it easy by providing a quota for how many sites you should visit, how many reviews you should write and so on and so forth. If you follow these steps and meet the quota everyday, you could gain anywhere between 20-60 new visitors to your site. These are not just any visitors, but people who are actually interested in your topic - I've met so many great people via LinkReferral and I've come across some great sites that I would otherwise have missed out on.

It takes about 20 minutes to meet your quota, but you'll probably end up staying longer because you'll find some great stuff there. But here's what you do.

1. Ranking resets every day. So, whether you intend to meet your quota or not - log in every day. This pushes your rank up and enables others to find you in a keyword search.

2. Visit 30 sites - you can either do your own keyword search, or you can go by categories and browse the sites within a given topic.

3. While you're visiting those 30 sites, whenever you stumble upon one that piques your interest - if you think it's great and want to tell someone - write a review by clicking the "Review this Site" link. You'll need to complete 5 reviews. But don't go over 5, you'll want to save some to review the next day.

4. While you're at, pick 1 favorite site. Click the "Add to Favorites" link.

5. Browse the Forums and post a comment or response to 1 Forum question. Choose something you're genuinely interested in and don't spam.

That's it! Do that every day or whenever you want to create some buzz on your site - especially on days you've added a new post or made changes. The people you'll find on LinkReferral are great.

One more great thing about LinkReferral.com They offer PPC adds that you can post to your site and earn revenue like Google Adsense. Of course it doesn't pay as much as Adsense, but if you've had your Adsense account revoked for whatever reason, this is a great alternative, so be sure to check it out.

The beautiful thing about Justhost is all the wonderful promotional credits they offer. Wait until your site is fully ready before signing up. To get your $25 free Google Adwords Credits, follow these super-simple instructions:

1. Log in to your control panel. (Go to your URL add /cpanel - for example: www.yourURL.com/cpanel. Enter username & password)

Depending on your needs, it may be difficult to decide whether or not to host a blog or a website via Justhost. You can do both, but there are some things you must take into consideration. The following questions are just a few of many that you should ask yourself to determine if a complete website is necessary or if just a blog will do.

While websites and blogs have lots of similarities, there are differences that could impact your goals in the long run, if you don't take certain things into consideration. A website is full of possibilities, but sometimes, it's those endless possibilities that leave beginners totally confused. A website provides a platform for creating an online community for your business - with enough know-how you could turn your site into the next social-media craze. With too little knowledge, you may end up with a ghost town of a site that simply takes up webspace.

A blog is a simple way to keep your readers informed and entertained, while they can interact by posting comments, there's not much more they can do. Blogging is, however, combined with a website is a great way to funnel traffic to your website since they are indexed much quicker in search engines, especially if you post often. A blog is also good because it provides a simple template that requires very little tinkering to create a consistent look that flows seemlessly from post to post with the right plug-ins (see "The 8 Top Plug-ins Every Wordpress blog needs" below).

While in my opinion, it never hurts to have both, if you don't have time to periodically update your website or properly match it with your website, a blog may be more appropriate for you. But reader through the following for more areas to consider before making your final decision.

1. If you would like to upload documents and allow others to download them via a URL - a website will allow you more flexibility for doing so.

2. If you would like to post short articles every day or a few times a week - a blog will make this process a lot simpler.

3. If you'd like the freedom of creating unblockable pop-ups for subscriber offers - a website with HTML or javascript knowledge is more appropriate.

4. If you'd like to create an online community where your visitors can log in and create profiles and have the freedom of posting to forums or articles of their own (this is a great way to boost Google Adsense earnings) - you definitely need a website.

5. If you'd like something super simple, with minimal set-up time, yet still professional-looking - a blog may suffice.

6. If you'd like to have unlimited online storage space - a self-hosted website is needed.

7. If you'd like unlimited email accounts with auto-responders and forwarders - you should consider a website. Another alternative is to use an Email Service provider, such as iContact - they offer affordable rates and allow you to schedule emails and even track the results.

8. If you'd like to sell products or other services - you should consider hosting both a website and a blog. You'll want the website to create an online store, but you'll want a blog to post product updates, special discounts, or useful reviews and videos that allow your potential customers to see how your products work.

9. If you'd like to host Google Adsense or other sponsored ads, you can do that with either a blog or a website. However, you must take visual organization into account when choosing a template or designing your site. Some templates may not support your ads.

I hope this has helped you in making your decision to chose a website or a blog. Feel free to contact me via email or follow me on Twitter (see above). Be sure to leave a comment if you've found this lens to be of assistance.

For HTML experts, this module will probably seem very redundant, but for newbies with minimal HTML, like me, this was most perplexing. I've suffered the bafflement, so you won't have to. There are actually are a few ways to do this, but to keep it basic, I'm going to focus on uploading by using templates from the Justhost Control Panel Site Builder.

3. Re-enter your username and password.

1. Inside your Website Builder Admin Panel, click "Layout Design".

2. Select "Website Template to Be Edited".

3. You can access the HTML editor by click the "HTML" button in the upper right hand corner of the WYSIWYG editor. Scroll down into you identify the sidebar codes and insert your Google Adsense or other HTML code there.

First you need to either register a new domain name or follow the instructions above to set up a subdomain.

1. Scroll down to "Popular Choices" and click "Wordpress."

2. Click "New Installation."

3. Use the pull-down menu to select the appropriate domain to install on. (Install on Domain)

5. Create an "Admin Nickname", enter email address, site name, and optional description.

6. Click "Install WordPress."

7. Log in to your administrative WordPress panel by entering your URL/wp-admin (www.yoursite.com/wp-admin)

It's easy to caught up by the cute colors . There are just so many templates to choose from - how can you know if it's the right one for your blog? Before picking any template you need to ask yourself these questions:

1. Do I plan on displaying ads? If so, where?

2. Do I want to add Twitter plug-ins? If so, is this template compatible?

3. Is there a particular set of articles I'd like to feature in a prominent spot for all my readers to see? If so, is this template compatible with the "Featureme" plug-in?

4. Does this template have a help site where I can go for installation questions or other problems?

5. Does this template vibe with my niche? Is it professional-looking and appropriate for what I'm trying to do?

6. Do I need a right sidebar, left sidebar, or both? The eye is automatically drawn to the left, since we read from left to right - using a left sidebar may cause your content to be overlooked. Right sidebars are most common.

7. Does this template have an appropriate font? If not, do I know how to change it? San Serif fonts such as Arial and Verdana are most appropriate for online content while serif fonts like Times or Georgia are most appropriate for print. You also want the font to vibe with the atmosphere - avoid goofy looking fonts such as Comic Sans for business or more formal sites. However, Comic Sans would be appropriate for a kids' site or an arts & crafts type site.

8. Does this template have an easy and convenient way for me to post images and/or videos?

Before you choose a dark background with white fonts, PLEASE ask yourself this question:

9. Why? What exactly is my purpose for doing this? You must go beyond selecting this template simply because it's cute. Dark background/white fonts are a strain on the eye and really are only appropriate for a few niches such as video games and other entertainment niches.

So you got excited when you received several emails notifying you of tons of comments that needed to be moderated - but that was quickly extinguished when you logged in only to find loads and loads spam with a few sprinklings of actual comments. How frustrating is that? Well, here's how you can have this strange breed comments automatically handled for you.

1. First you'll need to log in to your WordPress dashboard with your username and password.

2. Go to "Plug-ins" (hover and then click "Installed").

3. Locate the "Askimet" plug-in.

4. Once you click "Activate," you'll need to provide your "API key". This can be located by logging in to www.wordpress.com. Click "My Account", then click "Edit Profile." Your Wordpress.com API Key will be located at the top of the page. Copy and paste the code to activate.

Now, you will no longer receive bothersome notifications, since Askimet will catch them for you. I still suggest that you periodically check comments that get caught in the "spam queue" before totally deleting them, just in case some real comments were caught by accident - it's rare, but it has happened.

To store pdf files and other documents so that they'll be available on the web and accessible via links, you'll need to upload them to your justhost site.

Here's how:
1. Log in to your control panel. (To access your control panel, type in your URL/cpanel. ex: www.yoursite.com/cpanel)

2. Scroll down to the "Files" section.

3. Click "Legacy File Manager".

4. Select the "Public - www." Root directory.

5. Click "Create a New Folder" and look in the right side panel. Then type in the name of your folder. I suggest "Documents".

6. Click "Create."

7. Access the folder by scrolling down until you find your new "Documents" folder. To open, click on the folder "Icon," not the text link. It will take you inside the folder where you will be able to upload your file.

8. To upload your file, click "Upload Files" at the top of the screen.

9. Click "Browse" to locate your file. You may upload up to 12 documents at once. However the speed will depend on your computer.

10. To check the link to see if actually takes you to the document, click on the name of the file. Look in the right side panel and click the URL. You can also highlight, copy, and paste it into your internet browser. This is the link where your file will be located on the internet.

In order to add Google Adsense, you'll need to sign up here for a free account if you haven't already done so. You'll need to follow the steps for setting up an account (I promise it's easy!) Just click the "Sign Up" button and let Google guide you. You'll need some basic HTML skills, although if you can follow directions you should be okay, too.

1. After you've generated your Adsense HTML code, highlight and copy the code.

2. Log in to your "Website Builder Admin Panel".

3. Decide where you want your Google Ads to display.

If you would like your ads to appear in the sidebar of all of your webpages in your site, you'll need to place them in the layout. Follow the instructions below to place them in your side bar. If you want to place them only in specific places on specific pages, or in the footer, skip ahead.

To Place Google Adsense code in your Sidebar:
1. Click on "Layout Design".

2. Click "Select a website template to be edited. Usually your selected template is the default that will display in the drop down window, but you may need to select if you have more than one.

3. Click "next". This will open the WYSIWYG HTML editor.

4. Then click the "HTML" button in the upper right hand corner of the editor to open the "HTML Source Editor".

5. This will not be an exact science since I don't know exactly how your site is laid out, but generally if you can identify the code of another item that is already in your sidebar, you can use that as reference and paste your code above or below that item. For example, if you know the "NEWS" section is in the sidebar, you can past your Google Adsense code directly underneath it. You may have to do a few test runs. If you don't like where it ends up, try again.

6. Click the "Save" or disc shaped button to save your settings.

7. Preview your site to see how it will look to the public.

To place Google Adsense in a Specific Location:
1. Go to the specific page where you want to place your Google Adsense code.

2. If you have other text you want to place near it, you'll want to "Insert a new table" by clicking the appropriate button. If you can't fin the right button, just float your mouse over each button until you identify the right one.

3. You paste your code directly into the table or you can use the "HTML Source Editor" (by clicking the HTML button in the upper right hand corner) if you're familiar with HTML and can identify the right place to paste your code.

4. Click the "Save" or disc button to save your settings.

5. Preview your site to see how it will look to the public.

To Place Google Adsense Code in the Footer:
1. Click on "Layout Design".

2. Click "Select a website template to be edited. Usually your selected template is the default that will display in the drop down window, but you may need to select if you have more than one.

3. Click "next". This will open the WYSIWYG HTML editor.

4. Then click the "HTML" button in the upper right hand corner of the editor to open the "HTML Source Editor".

5. Scroll down until you see the {%WebsiteFooter%} tags. Paste your Google Adsense code underneath, but above the last tag.

6. Click the "Save" or disc shaped button to save your settings.

7. Preview your site to see how it will look to the public.

This will pretty much work the same anywhere else in your site, so play around with it until you get it exactly how you like it.

If you're really serious about your online business, you're going to need an auto responder of some sort. The benefits: it allows you to respond quickly to email without you actually having to be online. You could be away golfing and simultaneously responding to an email with this service. It will also help you build you subscriber list by allowing you to offer incentives that potential customers can download instantly. Potential customers want immediate feedback - if they can't get it from you, they'll look elsewhere.

Read Autoresponder Money Machine for more on how to profit from using Auto Responders.

Here's a step-by-step guide for seting up your Justhost Auto Responder:

1. Log into your Justhost Cpanel.

2. Scroll down to "Mail" and click "Auto-Responders."

3. Click "Add/Modify Auto-Responder".

4. Create a message by completing the form. (You must choose an already existing Justhost email account. Create a new one if you need to).

With Justhost you can have an unlimited number of Auto-Responders to go with your unlimited email accounts. Create a separate email account for each Auto-Responder you wish to use. For example, use one email account/auto-responder for subscriber list building and another for responding to frequently asked questions or other issues.

Get creative, you can bounce auto-resonders from one email account to the next for even more automation.

One day I was checking my email and I noticed an email from a subscriber who hadn't received the ebook they had requested. I felt bad, for one because it had happened over the weekend and I hadn't responded until Monday, and two, I felt like my professionalism had been jeopardized because things hadn't worked the way I said they would. Of course I manually sent the ebook link, but then I had to solve a greater problem, I had to find out what was wrong with my autoresponder.

Here are possible issues and ways to fix them:

1. Typos are the #1 reason autoresponders don't work properly - if you leave out one letter, or put it in the wrong place, your autoresponder will not work properly. When setting up an autoresponder, conduct several test runs with a non Justhost email address such as yahoo or gmail.

2. The next biggest issue is using a well constructed submission form - if you are unsure about how to create your own email form, the easiest thing to do is to subscribe to an email service such as iContact and copy and paste their forms - you may also utilize their autoresponder feature if you are unfamiliar with how all of this works.

3. Another, yet rare issue: your autoresponder emails may be being blocked by Yahoo. Yahoo is notorious for blocking suspected spam email. This doesn't mean what you're sending is spam, it just means Yahoo has a set of markers that often indicates and email is spam. When those markers are triggered, they will block any emails that generate from your domain. If you have been sending email with any of the following, your email autoresponder may be blocked:

redirected links/URLs

common spam words in the titled such as "free" "make money" "cash"

too many links in the email itself

too many emails sent back to back

Discontinue these practices immediately and wait about a week or two before sending any more emails.

Strangely I had discovered Yahoo had blocked emails from my domain because I hadn't automated my spam blocker - and everytime someone posted a spam comment, the notification was forwarded to my Yahoo email account. Yahoo thought the messages were from me because they had been forwarded from my domain, but they were just tons of spam -

4. Make sure you are utilize the spam blocker in your comment queue. (read "How to automatically block spam on Wordpress" above)
