Webmaster Tips and Tricks

The following are small tips and tricks that will help you convert your traffic better. Use some smarts to go farther! Avoid Sponsor .COM Ad Content You have seen it, you have used it, and you have lost money because of it! Sponsors are notorious for providing free advertising material and content with their .COM web address imprinted on them. To avoid type ins and search engine no return grabs on graphic files, use content that does not display the .COM address and force visitors to explore your domain and click on your paying links. Example: Do not list WWW.YOUR-SPONSORS-NAME.COM. Do list "Your Sponsors Name". When people type it in, you don't get paid!
