Webmaster Nightmare
A web master's worse nightmare is waking up one morning to
find traffic to his web site has dropped by 80%, overnight - his
site has been banned by the major search engines Google, Yahoo
and MSN!.
One reason why this could have happened is by linking web sites
together with the same Class C block IP address, or subnet
address. Search engines use complex algorithms to check the real
popularity or ranking of a web site, webmasters sometimes try to
circumvent this and boast their own rankings by linking their
own sites together.
The huge rise in the number of websites over the last few years
has forced the major search engines to "get tough" with what
many call "black hat" search engine optimization techniques,
these include hidden text, doorway pages, smartpages and link
farms.
Search engines often view the practice of linking sites from
the same owner/operator as "linking incest", and more commonly
known as "Search Engine Spamming" and it can result in some or
all of the sites being banned by the major search engines.
One of the ways the search engines check if a bunch of web sites
are owned by the same webmaster is to test if they are using the
same Class C Block IP Address, or subnet address, which is an
easy test. For many a better decision would be to learn about
some effective

IP Address Numbering Overview
You may see the term IP Address mentioned a lot in relation to
web site hosting and be wondering what it means and if it's
important for you understand it, or even know anything about it at
all!.
In general if you just own one web site it probably is not necessary
to learn about this subject but if you are a serious affiliate or
internet marketer you need to understand the basics, especially if
you own several web sites, for reasons I'll explain later.
IP address is short for internet protocol address. The IP address is
effectively the address of a computer that is connected to the
internet. It is in many ways similar to your house street address,
if you want mail delivered you need an address and you need to give
that address out to people who might want to send you mail.
In the same way if you want people to find your web site they need
to your web site address, other wise no traffic!
When the internet was invented it was never envisioned that there
would be hundreds of millions of computers connected, so the address
system is limited. A very relaxing hobby is learning
how to make a kite. The
present system uses a 32-bit number that is divided into four octets
(8-bit sections), each octet being in the range 0...255.
You could think of each octet as a byte on a modern computer. Each
octet is separated by a decimal point and this type of format is
commonly called 'dotted decimal notation' ( e.g. 201.103.61.121 ).
So the lowest number is 0.0.0.0 and the highest is 255.255.255.255
It is important to remember that dotted decimal notation described
above only exists to aid human beings to understand IP Addresses,
computers just use a long series of 1's and 0's. |

Tips For Buying Website Hosting
Needless to say, but if you have your own web site the choice of
how and where it is hosted is important to your success as an
affiliate or internet marketer, so please give this subject the due
care and attention that it deserves.
Web hosting in a nut shell is the process where you pay another
company to store your web site on one of it's computers, which has a
permanent high speed connection to the internet. You normally pay a
monthly rate but most companies offer a good discount or free setup
if you pay for 1 year or more in advance.
For a lot of reasons it simply does not make any sense to try and do
this yourself, unless you have a major website and deep pockets. So
for 99% of us we need to select a hosting company.
One point to note immediately is that choosing and registering a
domain name is a separate activity from choosing a hosting company,
although most companies do offer both services.
After choosing and registering a domain name you do not have to use
the same company for the hosting. It maybe wise to read up on some
good trading books and
become a better trader. One of the reasons for not using the same
company is because some have great domain name services but their
hosting service not quite right for you. For example I use godaddy
for all my domain name registrations but I host the web site at a
number of different companies.
The reason I like GoDaddy for domain name registration is because
they offer very good prices, their web site is easy to navigate and
use and because they offer private registration which keeps all my
contact information private.
The key factors to look for in a hosting package are:
Sufficient disk space
Sufficient monthly bandwidth
Sufficient free email accounts
Good support system and help desk
Telephone support is available
High reliability
