Read Our Blog

A blog page is a web log of articles/ updates on a website. Visitors to a website can read the current blog entries, check out the latest posts, click on the Archives links to view a history of posted blog entries, and email blog entries to other people.

We will use this page to keep you abreast of breaking news, new websites coming online, customer specials, and whatever else pops into our brains!

Your Blog 
If you are using a website system hosted by Precision Computing Arts / Fastwebdev, you too can blog. Simply add a new BLOG page via your website editor, and away you go!

Will your blog entries be indexed in search engines? The short answer is "Yes," but in some cases, it might take a while. The major search engines (Google, Yahoo, and Bing) will index your blog entries, usually in about two weeks or so, depending on how often the search engines visit your site. We did some (admittedly) unscientific tests with Blogspot and WordPress blogs, finding that some of those blogs appeared in Google indexes within a few days. However, in almost all cases — our "Cool Tools" blog, Blogspot, and WordPress alike — blog entries typically took much longer to appear in both Yahoo and Bing.

Do you want some help figuring out the best keywords to use in your Pay Per Click system (e.g., Google Adwords or Yahoo Overture)? Do you want to find out what the competition is doing? If so, check out Google's FREE Search-Based Keyword Tool. Use this free tool from Google to generate a list of keywords found on any site, including your own and your competition's.

To use the tool:

  1. Click here to start the SK tool (www.google.com/sktool/).
  2. In the Website box, enter the website address that you want to analyze.
  3. Click Find Keywords.

You can sort by any column (click on the column name), analyze the results in a variety of ways, and even export the keywords found. The tool is optimized for use with Google's Adwords system, but it's great all by itself. (Note that it shows a limited list of keyword ideas, not every possible keyword associated with the site you selected.)

To learn about more tools for selecting Pay Per Click keywords, visit the Pay Per Click Insider Tips article titled "Five Techniques to Dominate the Long-Tail".
