Hey there Lensmasters, we now have a full on page touting your Velocity Marketer hosting at Squidoo the popular social networking and beginner webmaster site.

Squidoo is sorta like a blog and sorta like a mini website that offers a view into the life of the Lensmaster, their interest, or their business. A top lens can earn a lot of money with cash paying modules added to it or just focused on your website a Squidoo Lens can send tons of targeted and pre-sold traffic to your site hungry to make a purchase.

Velocity Marketer Hosting makes website hosting it’s business. We put the Lens together at Squidoo to accomplish a couple thing. One we needed the one way links and deep links adding several of our pages will give. Two we are new and building our brand just like many of our hosting clients, so a Squidoo Lens will help us establish brand name and trust. The final ingredient to the pie is that it also give us a great way to demonstrate how to use a Squidoo Lens to promote a website and accomplish both one and two while adding cash to your pockets.

I would like to note that any sales made and commissions earned off the Squidoo Lense will put 20% to good works through charitable contribution.

So check out our new Squidoo lens by clicking this hyperlink.

See you there,

Wow, Velocity Marketer Hosting gets a major face-lift with a new clean look that shows the power of Word Press a more than just a blog. In fact as we progress we are coming to see Word Press as one of the ultimate CMS or Content Management systems for building not just great blogs but also amazing websites.

Simple to get started a Word Press based website is included in your hosting C-Panel here at Velocity Marketer Hosting as a self installer. It requires that you choose a location, a username and password, and then click install.

Once you are online with it you will need some power tools to get your Search Engine Optimization up to par and to escape the two major drawbacks to a open source solution such as Word Press. One plug-in needed and there are several fine one’s fixes a little glitch in the system that can cause Word Press to send an update to search engines on a page update through what is called a RPC Ping Service. You want your pages and post submitted when new content is added but if you do it every time you find a miss-spelled word you will actually find your site banned by search engines very soon.

The next thing that is a top priority is to activate the Akismet Spam Filter. Face it, any major CMS is a target for SPAM and Word Press is probably one of the most attacked systems because of the number of users. Akismet takes known SPAM and traps it and auto deletes it for you cutting down your time spent moderating comments. I always recommend setting your comments to a minimum setting of hold for moderation when they contain more than 2 links so that admin must approve a comment that is potential SPAM before it becomes live on a website.

The Benefits of Word Press based Websites.

As you can see I made a quick change in the settings under Reading and have created a page called Home and a page called News. The News page is a blank page used to deliver blog post. This post for example will appear on that page as well as create a stand alone article page on our website. In that reading tab I clicked on the start page preference to use a static page and set the start page to Home and the default post page to News. This turns Word Press from being blog first to being a website with a power blog built in.

From there we can build out pages and set the order we want them to display. If you use the auto installer under plug-ins in the Word Press control panel you can download a wide range of plug ins like All in One SEO Pack and Google Site Map Creator. These two plug-ins are a absolute must for a blog as they allow you to make each page and post search engine friendly and add things like meta tags to them to improve your indexing in the search engines.

Those two plugings can save you hundreds of dollars on SEO in your early days.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization  does not end at the meta tags on your site like Title, Description, and Keywords, but they are the minimum required to get a good page rank and start getting free traffic for your website from the search engines. When you are ready for more talk to us about our Search Engine Optimization services at Velocity Marketer Hosting.

Other Word Press Plugins we like are video perks like Kultura Interactive Video, Smart YouTube Video, Twitter tools, Social Bookmarks, and WP-Polls. These tools all help engage your readers and visitors and allow them to share your website with the masses. Your inside the site will benefit from adding these simple tools and then choosing the theme of your website is the only major task left before actually adding content. With tens of thousands of read made and free themes out there for Word Press choosing a look will have tons of options, there are also great builders to make your own in a snap.

One thing I love about Word Pres based sites is that if you decide to move or replicate your site and content to a different domain name.

Example: You buy mysite.com, .net, and .org and want them to all look like the same site but want them to be able to gain search engine rankings that using a domain redirect just doesn’t allow. You go to the tools section of word press and click the link that says export and save that file, go to the other domain and install Word Press using the one button installer. Upload your chosen theme and set it to active and then go to tools again and select import. Upload the file saved and now you have a perfect mirror to the other site.

What is amazing about this is that using the blog based site is something even some major corporations have done, you get a professional website you can manage with tons of free training, so simple there are 8-10 year old kids with blogs, and the design and script are free with even the cheapest hosting account. Take one look at this site and ask a website designer what they would charge to hand code a site like this and you will find starting prices at around $800 for the first 3 pages and $250-$400 for each additional page, then have to pay a SEO expert to do the search engine optimization on top of it. We did it all ourselves without cost above our hosting account and you can too.
