Tool Time Friday | The old “What to Call My Domain Game”?
Welcome New Friend!
We'd love to see you back again. You can subscribe by RSS feed, or get updates by email. And please feel free to comment. Don't forget to leave your link and your name.
Sometimes, as we’ve all noticed, bloggers will try to come up with some clever domain name, only to come up with something, well, let’s just call it what it is - S-T-U-P-I-D.
In my personal opinion, domain names should be clear as to what the site is all about. I read an article, not too long ago, that posited the same advice. And, hey, if it’s in writing it’s gotta be true! (Tongue in cheek).

Let’s get right to it, shall we?
Static URLs are known to be better than Dynamic URLs because of a number of reasons
1. Static URLs typically Rank better in Search Engines.
2. Search Engines are known to index the content of dynamic pages a lot slower compared to static pages.
3. Static URLs are always more friendlier looking to the End Users.
Example of a dynamic URL:

Online visitors:
We’re still trying to resolve the database error message that intermittently appears on the site. So far, no clues as to why it’s happening. I’ve noticed the increase in frequency as well. In the meantime, a ten second count and a refresh of the page seems to work, loathe as I am to ask you to do that.

I know what you’re thinking, particularly if you’re a traditional type of marketer. We’ve discussed this already in my Give Marketing series, but those two articles were about “what-to” more than “why-to”.

Edit - Kelly twitted to say that Be a Radio Star should be attributed to Be Heard Solutions. You can get it through Kelly’s site, but I want to make it clear that she didn’t write it.
As such I’ve left the actual tip the same.

Below is a list of how-to and strategy articles for Traffic Methods I’ve taught for free at this site.
Some of them date back as far as 2004, but I’ve only added the ones that are still relevant today. Depending on your browser, you may have trouble with some of the audio or video posts. In that case, you’ll find downloads for them in our audio and video podcasts.

One of my struggles in moving from a PC to a Mac is that there are very few suitable screen capture programs that can be used in the native Mac environment. I bought Camtasia Studio back in the day, and it works fine on Windows in Mac, but only within the Windows environment. So, if I want to film a video to show Mac users who don’t have/like Windows how to do something in a Mac OS X environment, I’m stuck with clunky tools, or SOL.
Sure, there’s Screen-o-matic.com, but they only publish in online public SWF and for download MOV, which I then have to convert to AVI. The sound also tends to suck, which may not be their fault, as I often have to apply post filming audio filters.

In order to prove to a buddy, who shall remain nameless due to utter shame and embarassment (but who I will edit to name if he replies with a refusal of payment), yes, I do know how to get on a page in Google Finance in less than an hour (45 minutes to be exact) in an ethical fashion, and also draw traffic from it immediately.

if you use Firefox or Internet explorer, there’s a good chance that this traffic tip has been staring you in the face. If you use the Google Toolbar every day, or know that your clients do, this tip is a no-brainer.
Making a basic Google toolbar button is easy for those of us who are techies, we just pull up Google’s page for toolbar button creation and it’s away we go.

Who doesn’t use a screen saver? It’s been ages since they were an absolute necessity to prevent the burn-out of a monitor. And yet, we still use them, because they entertain us, enlighten us, educate us.
And those are the three reasons you should consider marketing with one.
