Google? What kinda name is this? Of course it brings to mind googolplex but how could one branding mean so much to a company? We all know what it means though, it’s the featured search engine used more than any other at this point.

When it comes to naming your URL it is important to be catchy, but is it more important to be relative? This is a question we all must face when we name our web site. Sometimes this is easy, for instance if you have a business names “Flowers-a-Plenty” then it’s a no brainer what you will name your site. At this point if www.flowers-a-plenty.com is not taken then of course this is the optimal decision. However, if your looking to start a flower business online is it very important to come up with a name that is both catchy and relevant? YES! Many of us don’t have the starting capital to make the brand name so we look for something that will be both specific for rankings, and catch the millions of web users attention. The name of your website will be something you have to live with, not just a page of hundreds that might end up on your site.

From JenSense excelent blog!

While the new “Advertise on this site” feature was officially launched on Friday, the feature wasn’t actually seen live until late yesterday. So if you were opted in but didn’t see it, you should be seeing it now.

AdSense has a demo here. On the second screenshot of the demo, two company names are listed - epicurean.com information in the header, but the body of the text says PetPlace.com. Perhaps PetPlace was one of the original testers of this feature before it was removed as a case study.

Just days after the Mozilla Foundation released the first Release Candidate of their primetime web browser solution Mozilla Firefox 1.5, we now have the second one. Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 2 is now officially out and the open source foundation is recommending it as a must update for the users of the first release candidate.

The final version of Mozilla Firefox 1.5 is expected to be released by the end of the year, and they just want the release candidate versions to be thoroughly tested. The RC2 is available for beta testers and developers for compatibility testing and to solicit feedback. As always, no official support is being provided for this update and they mention it clearly on the Mozilla Firefox website.

Commitment. The first C. Once the design process is already set, commitment takes action. This is all about carrying on the missions and goals. It is crucial that the designer should rise above all the challenges that he will encounter in the whole process. Every commitment seems to be challenged, so commitment has to come out victorious.

To be successful with your online business, whether you are selling your own product, services or are selling for other merchants as an affiliate, you need a Web site that focuses on that subject alone.

If search engines determine that your website is popular, then they will list it as relevant to a search, the more popular - the more relevant. The more relevant, the higher you will be listed in search results. But how easy is to be popular?

Design to become popular:
The search engines calculate that if other websites containing subject matter in common with your website, have actually linked to your website, then yours is a popular site for that subject. The more links from websites with the same key words as you, the more popular your site is deemed. Plan to get those prized links.
