Web CEO : A powerful SEO tool.

Thursday, June 21st, 2007
”Learn. Promote. Convert.”

Web CEO is a website manager that helps you making your site more ”viewable”. Even if it is built mostly for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the progam offer other great ressources such as keywords finder, page optimizer, link partners directory, ranking evaluation, included FTP client, a scheduler and many more. Web Ceo’s even have an affiliate advertising program and constant updates. And how could I neglect the gorgeous appareance design of the program itself ;-).

I’d really like the website quality analyzor that provides info on external (and internal) links. There is so much things you can do with Web CEO, I’m sure I didn’t even try half of them!

Pros:
- +A quality,
- FREE,
- Excellent website manager,
- Search engine submission (it’s still better to register manually),
- Website description and meta tags builder,
- Intuitive interface,
- Great support
- Helpful tips
- Lot and lot of options.

Cons:
- Maybe to much (options),
- Not so easy to masterize…
- ‘Big’ program (occasionally, my Pentium IV has hard times with it :-P)
- Only 15-day trial for the ‘HitLens’ software,
- Annoying e-mails (not spam but useless weekly newsletter).

Anyway, it’s free, you have nothing to lose (except time for downloading)!

Go ahead and download the lastest version at Web CEO’s website.

The Essential Guide - Part 1-2: The ‘bloggy’ way?

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

1-2

Now you’re ready for the next step: create your website. You can chose to develop a conventional website or a weblog. If you are a novice to html, I strongly recommend that you select the second choice. As you may know, blogs are a fast, easy and efficient way to make yourself a name on the net. You certainly noticed it, blogs are today more than ever popular on the web. Even if you’re an experimented user, you really shall consider blogging you work. There’s a lot of blog hosting providers out there… but none is as well develop as the downloadable version of Wordpress. If you have no idea about what is Wordpress, go take a look at their website at http://wordpress.org . Wordpress is a fully customizable blog platform that you can upload on a web server of your choice (see the upcoming part 1-3 about web hosting providers). Might sound a bit confusing but once it’s installed, I’d never seen such a simple way to configure a weblog. With Wordpress you can uploads great plugins and themes to make your site look very professional. No need to mention that it also creates a RSS feed for you.

The Essential Guide - Part 1-1: Choosing the right platforms and tools.

Before even thinking of creating a website, you have to know with what ‘’equipment’’ you will work it. First, if we assume that you haze a functional Internet connection, you need a web browser. Don’t skip this part thinking ‘’Ah! I have Internet Explorer, I’m fine… next!’’ because maybe you would like to know that IE isn’t the solution to every problem. Effectively, this browser may have a nice looking interface, but beside that IE doesn’t have much to show. A good alternative to Microsoft’s browser is Mozilla Firefox, a fully editable web browser with an high level of security. With Firefox you may download add-ons and plugins that will enhanced your web experience, such as web accelerators (Powerfox), indirect but really useful blog editors (ScribeFire), webpages examiner programs (WOT) and more. Beside, even if it is very uncommon, some pages are not fully compatible with Firefox and may have problem displaying. However Firefox remains an excellent browser and you can download it at Mozilla.org .
