How To Promote A Website

August 13th, 2010 iReadySites No comments

In recent times the Marketing and Promotion is the key features to introduce, capture and attract loan shoppers towards your website. There are lots of mortgage companies selling their product/services and due to large number of loan officers, agents, brokers and lenders the marketing and promotion is the only thing that makes the difference. This is the very reason why companies are hiring marketing professionals to concentrate on the promotion and marketing of their website.

And we strongly believe that it’s such a hard market out there and no company can grow without the marketing and promotion.

Why Do You Need to Promote Your Website:

Online marketing is a key component to promote and introduce your loan products/services. It’s a cheap and the fastest way to introduce your company/product/services. Millions of loan buyers connect to the internet and look for low interest rates as per their specific needs and requirements. And internet is the only way to reach them which works fast and within your budget limits as well.

In this modern age, every traditional trade and business affected by the online trends. Now people prefer to buy products/services online to save cost and time. There are millions of mortgage websites trying to survive on the internet. And only the web sites with good rankings in the search results against their key keywords are getting the lions share of the market. It’s not an understatement that if any loan officer or broker wants good business then he has to formulate a good plan to get his website on the first page of search results at-least on all the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, AOL, and Ask.

Keyword Selection:

Usually this is the very first step. Every seller wants to get the real buyers on his website, who are specifically looking for the product and services offered by him. It is also an important factor to target a particular market. A seller mostly doesn’t know which keyword people use to search product/services in his market (such as real estate, mortgage, medical, dentist or credit repair). And there are literally thousands of combination of keywords even for a small market. So it’s very important and critical to select the right keywords related to the category of your website.

It is also important to know which keywords are most powerful and buyers use them for search in desired market.

What is a Domain Name

August 7th, 2010 iReadySites No comments

What is a Domain Name (aka Domain)?

A domain name is an alias for an IP address. Now what is an IP address? An IP address is a numeric code that tells computers where to look through the Internet for content or more rightly a website. An example of an IP address would be 70.85.248.194. Rather than typing in a kind of complex and easily forgotten IP address, a domain name helps you by typing an easily remembered name to access the same site. For example, in the URL http://www.ireadysites.com/index.html, the domain name is ireadysites.com.

Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:

  • gov – Government agencies
  • edu – Educational institutions
  • org – Organizations (nonprofit)
  • mil – Military
  • com – commercial business
  • net – Network organizations

The domain name represents your web site (e.g. residential, commercial, reverse mortgage, or real estate website). It provides a means for connectivity with your web hosting. It must be unique and no two people or companies can have the same domain for their site.

There are Two Types of Domain Names:

  • INTERNIC Domain Names / TLDs
  • Country Domain Names / SLDs

INTERNIC Domain Names:

These are used for international purpose, like you have an online store or information website which is for international and local online visitors. One thing which is very important to know is the INTERNIC Domain Names are mostly quite cheap as compare to other types. Some Internic Domain Names are also very expensive (i.e. .edu) and also need lots of documents and approvals before registration.

In easy words you can say – TLD stands for Top Level Domain. This includes any domain names which suffix is .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, .info

Country Domain Names:

These kinds of domain names represent the website topic for any specific region or country, it doesn’t mean that these website will not be display in other countries. The websites which having the country domain names just represent the subject and relation of website.

Again putting it simply – SLD stands for Second Level Domain. This includes any domain names which suffix is .co.in, .com.pl, .com.cn, .co.uk, .org.tw and .co.at

A word of advice though, don’t buy domain name before consultation with regards to your need and requirements of your web site because most of the companies providing web hosting and domain registration service together also offer free domain name with hosting.

Another very important thing is that when you buy web hosting from the company who is offering you free domain registration, then ask who will have the authority of domain name. Because such companies mostly do not give you authority and details if you need to transfer you domain name to some other registrar.

Next thing would be Hosting so stay tuned…
