Who's Stealing my Bandwidth?

By Bruno Auger On December 2, 2008 15 Comments

There are several ways that you can stop the bandwidth thieves from stealing your bandwidth. If they have an email, I would contact them personally or go through Domaintools.com and do an IP lookup which will give you information on the person and who the site is registered to. You can always get in touch with the hosting company that hosts their site too. Bandwidth can be expensive and the last thing that you want is someone stealing it.

You Internet Service Provider (ISP for short) can limit how much  bandwidth you can use at certain times during peak periods or charge you a flat fee every month for usage. If you go over your usage limit regularly, then they will suggest you upgrade to a bigger bandwith package.

Files that are uploaded or downloaded from servers uses bandwidth to push files along the network at various speeds. Every time you upload a file to your hosting server, surf the web or watching streaming video, you are using bandwidth. 

Bandwidth is a group of fibers or wires connecting servers to a network. Depending on the quality of the wire it determines how much data can flow across the network where your website is hosted. When someone attempts to use more bandwidth than can be handled by the system, the traffic slows down.

You can upload almost any file (webpages, sound files, images, videos and other programs) to your website. This excludes, of course, pop ups, banners , pdf files, scripts and images which are supposed to be loaded from your hosting server. 

Bandwidth thieves link to audio, images and other files directly to your server instead of putting them on their own server. There are many reasons as to why people do this but, the main reason is to maximize the bandwidth they steal as much as possible to show their links and images.

Bandwidth is something you should monitor careful because you never know when someome will borrow and image or link from you for their personal gain.

Free and Cheap Web Hosting Options for Conscious Consumer

By Bruno Auger On November 30, 2008 20 Comments

Consumers are always looking for good deals on the internet concerning web hosting and space. You should also consider how long the hosting company has been in business.

A free service provides benefits to all people and may sound like a good idea but the goal is to do your research to see if the deals are viable or not. Free services can also bring other unwanted things that you have to deal with when you sign up for the service. Usually, you have to submit to advertising and surveys by filling out a form before you can get your free service. Be sure that you read the user agreements that come with the free services.

Free sites also come with some cool stuff, such as counters, guestbooks, virtual domain names, tracking logs, blogs, copy and past scripts that are usually Java code scripts and more. These additions are good for people that have little or no knowledge into building a web site.

The Technology Of Indexing

By Bruno Auger On November 30, 2008 8 Comments

One of the main ways in order to have a specific and specialize — as well as indie and effective — search engine optimization process is through the use and understanding of website owners of indexing.  Indexing is the process of search engines using specific algorithmic crawlers to find changes for their search results.  These algorithms are designed in order to link from one another and it is an automated process made by coded information and algorithms that search the Internet automatically to retrieve website information and their addresses for a turn to those who search them.

In the search engine optimization process, indexing is held in high regard because it allows for just how high the search results and history would be for search engines for a specific website.  In simple terms, the way indexing works is through making a website the most relevant by finding just how many people have referred and back linked to that specific site. In order to understand this, just think of an academic journal.  An academic journal which is not so good may be cited once or twice among the academic institution with other journals relevant to the topic.

Economics And Business Model

By Bruno Auger On November 27, 2008 4 Comments

The popularity of Web 2.0 has made serious consideration of what kind of business model it would be able to provide.  In the early days of the Internet, this was also the problem that has been presented by its critics with respect to economics pointing out that there is no sustainable business model for the Internet.  However, since then, companies like Google and Yahoo which drive their revenues purely from advertising has proven such a business forecast false.

Web 2.0, however, because of the different structure it has of sharing and collaboration other than information retrieval, is also criticized by many as what kind of business model could fit.  Because of the fact that it is content driven, most of the websites and the contents are made by users and companies would not be able to advertise directly to those pages as in traditional methods of selling specific goods and services.

Understand that the highlighting points of Web 2.0 are we keys, blogs, social networks, file sharing, and a host of other user generated content.  Being a nonmonetary model of business, individuals are wondering whether or not such companies which focus on collaboration and user generated content would indeed gain profits.

Traffic and Indexing = Money

By Bruno Auger On November 24, 2008 7 Comments

The biggest problem facing most people on the Internet is getting traffic to their sites. While it may seem a huge problem
for those who are not getting it, it all comes back to the choices you make.

If you are building a blog around the word ‘weight loss’ then you’re going to have to do a considerable amount of work to get indexed in the right position to get enough traffic to make money.

If you choose to target specific words relating to ‘weight loss’ that are still well searched for and have low competition
then you will stand a far better chance of getting traffic and that traffic will be a lot more targeted.

This highly targeted traffic will earn you more money because it is relating to a specific problem that the person is searching for a rather than a general term like ‘weight loss’

Now when a person arrives on your blog from a specific term they are always going to be interested in the more general term of ‘weight loss’ so you will still be able to sell your weight loss e-book or earn money from your weight loss affiliate programs when people come from these terms.
