Smart Money is on .org Domains

An increasing number of smart internet marketers are starting to use the often neglected .org (in the UK org.uk) domains to drive valuable traffic to their websites.

But Why? Well the rationale is simple – because .org domains are plentiful in supply, it is still easy to register high volume search keywords (like cheapcars.org.uk, cheaploans.org.uk, cheapmeals.org.uk, cheapweddingvenues.org.uk etc). And, as we all know Google loves keyword domains (if backed up with quality content, decent design and links)!

So with PPC costs at an all time high plus intense competition for organic listings the smart money is on .org domains. It would take a decent SEO only a couple of months to secure Top 10 listings which could in turn generate 500 to 5,000 unique clicks per month.

Try weighing this up again running a PPC campaign where the minimum bid on most decent keywords nowadays is £1 per click. The same traffic would have cost £500 to £5,000 per month!

So how much does it cost? Very little indeed! With your domain registration fee at £10.49, what are you waiting for?

osCommerce Shopping Cart

Last week we launched a new osCommerce Shopping Cart installation service for our customers, to great success!

Here at Free Virtual Servers, we were seeing a growing trend of our customers websites, which advertised their products but with no shopping cart installed.

You see in the past, building a website for your business used to be a luxury.

Why pay for hosting?

Why should novices, hobby sites and SMEs looking to raise their profile online pay for hosting?

There is an image that hosting free and cheaper packages means a poorer service, which seems to be the instant presumption and perspective of many customers. Many UK web hosting companies have more recently decided to adopt a ‘no free hosting policy’ and have moved their customers onto a paid hosting option. But why should these customers have to pay every month for hosting on a server, when really the majority initially just want to see if it’s right for them?
