You can access many sites with or without the “www” in front of the network name. You may have noticed that for SEM Reach, you can use www.semreach.com but if you use semreach.com, if redirects to www.semreach.com. Why? How does all this relate to SEO?
Components of a URL
Your URL (uniform resource locator) is made of separate parts, and when all collated together, packets of a site get sent to you, displaying a web page or such. Simply, this is what your URL is made of:
Protocol: http://
Host/Hostname: www.semreach.com
Subdomain: www
Network Name: semreach
TLD and/or Extension: .com
Relation to SEO
As you can see, SEM Reach uses all parts, including the subdomain of “www“. Ok, so how does all this relate to SEO? Well, “www.semreach.com” is just like “forums.semreach.com” or “blog.semreach.com“. Its another subdomain from the rest.…

There is a sea of WordPress themes, ready to be caught by some keen blogger. Over the course of SEM Reach, I haven’t yet chosen a theme that suits. You may think this theme is good, but it is a hassle behind the scenes.
When choosing a theme, for a blog or a website or a forum, you must consider the genre. Nothing is more important than the genre, when it comes to designing. I wouldn’t think a gaming style theme would suit a blog about knitting (unless of course I am crazily mistaken). But at the same time, you don’t want to be going directly with the mainstream society of themes for each genre. It is quite a hard choice, one I have to make myself.
Anyway, I was looking through a collection of themes and found a few that were…

Do you use frames on your site? Are they dominant? Do you use them to separate your important information? Well, the important question is that if frames have a negative or positive effect on your site’s performance in SEO.
Why do people use frames?
Many websites, or really, younger web designers, make extensive use of frames in the design of their web pages. Quite a few instances show that more than 2 frames would be used on a single web page. The main reason why people like frames is that each frame’s content has a different source. This is all controlled by a master page known as a “frameset”, where it collates all content from different sources into a single web page, viewable by users. Such frames make it easier for webmasters to club multiple sources into a single web page. This, however, has…

Are you sick of adsense? Or maybe they have banned you? Well, to be frank, Adsense isn’t everything. You don’t see Adsense here, right? So that means anyone can make money with Adsense alternatives.
There is actually countless other advertising options if you don’t prefer Adsense. You aren’t forced to have Adsense, so what else is there? There are many that work the same way as Adsense, others have inline advertisements or banners. Some work better in the long run that Adsense, some probably won’t. Nonetheless, it cannot hurt trying out a few to see if you make any revenue.
Here is a list, with just the gist of them:
Clicksor – It provides contextual ads with the body of the website. They really hide as hyperlinks and when clicked, it redirects users to a sponsor’s website.
TargetPoint – Cost per click advertisements…
