Mobiles4Me Mobile Phone website

By

Bearing mind the fact that the mobile phone market shows no sign of fading away & phones are incorporating more & more features I was interested in setting up a mobile phone site as there are apparently now 7 mobile phones for every person in the UK, but the pace of development shows no sign of slowing down, as the phone companies have to keep coming up with new ideas in order to convince us to buy new handsets.

I came across the Fonetastic Mobile affiliate programme run by MobileShop.com, which looks really slick & clean, but the thing that sold it to me was the Deal Finder feature! This allows you to choose a particular handset, or manufacturer, pick which features the phone MUST have, to then choose the number of free minutes and/or free texts you want & your monthly budget, whether you would prefer a particular network and the option to include free gifts. Then the system searches through all the retailers until it finds matching deals & displays them to you!

So, as a lover of anything like this, that sorts through all the options & offers you exactly what you are looking for, I was hooked on this programme but as usual, the search was on for a domain name….something to do with mobile phones, not already in use or been bought….not an easy job! However, thinking about existing brands turned me towards Phones4U…..& a quick search revealed that Mobiles4Me was available, so this is what I went for.

A little bit of design on a banner & logo & www.mobiles4me.co.uk was ready for action!! With thousands of pay monthly and pay as you go mobile phone deals listed, along with the latest mobile broadband offers. If you’re looking for the best prices, the latest handsets, easy to use search results, thousands of Mobile Phone Deals, Cheap Mobile Phones Offers & where the whole mobile phone market is available at your finger tips, all on one site – then Mobiles4Me is the place to choose your new mobile phone deal!

Why Link Building is important for SEO

By

People not involved in website optimisation often have difficulty understanding search engine optimisation and the different methods that are involved. Some of the following basic SEO concepts may help you:

1. Link building is important

Links are like votes for a website. The more votes a website has, the better the rankings.

2. There are different link types

Search engines consider the relevance of the links. Links from unrelated websites don't help as much (and can actually harm your rankings) as links from relevant websites. A link from a website that has many inbound links for itself counts more than a link from an unpopular website.

3. It's important to keep on link building

It does not help to just get more links than your competing web pages. The quality of the links is just as important and your competitors will also continue to build links. For that reason, it's important to know that link building is an ongoing activity.

4. Buying links can get you in trouble

Search engines don't like paid links because they treat links to your website as editorial votes. Google has officially stated that it considers paid links as an attempt to game the system and penalises websites that buy links. Even if Google cannot automatically find all paid links to your website, your competitors might report your website.

Try to get high quality organic links if possible.

5. Redirects can cause problems

Redirects have been used by spammers in the past and some search engines still have difficulties with that. If you have to use redirections on your website, only use 301 redirects.

A 301 redirect is the only server side redirect that is defined as a permanent redirect. That means that search engines will follow the links and pass the links from the old URL to the new URL.

6. Duplicate content can cause problems

Search engines want to return as many different results as possible in their results. That is why search engines only list one copy of a document in their search results.

For that reason, you shouldn't promote more than one domain for the same website and you should have unique content on your web pages.

Near copies are also considered duplicate content, for example, when the same article is listed on more than one website.

7. Why your web pages must be optimised

Search engines use simple software programs to index web pages. These web pages analyse the text on a web page to determine what it is all about.

If a keyword is mentioned in the right places and in the right frequency, search engines will consider the web page relevant to that keyword. If a keyword is mentioned too often, search engines might penalise a website because it looks like a spamming attempt.

8. Keywords are the key to your success

It's important to choose the right keywords for search engine optimisation. Single word keywords can be very popular but they seldom lead to sales. Industry specific keywords can be so special that no one searches for them. The perfect keyword is targeted, has a high search volume and leads to sales.

Search engine optimisation is not rocket science but it requires some work and ongoing efforts. If you understand the basic SEO concepts, it's easier to get top 10 rankings on Google and other major search engines.

My Travel Extras Theatre Ticket Shop

By

I wanted to set up an affiliate site supplying theatre tickets and came across Encore Tickets, a ticket agency for trade clients, including airlines and tour operators needing group bookings, but who also operate Discount Theatre, which offers online booking for all London Musicals and Plays for retail customers.

Encore Tickets also offer a white label solution, which allowed me to build a site complementary to My Travel Extras. I toyed with the idea of incorporating the site in an iframe, but was advised against it & decided to offer it as a standalone site, with links between the two.

The site was set up very quickly & all I had to provide was a title banner image. The site is now live and generating some sales already!

At the My Travel Extras Theatre Ticket Shop you can buy discounted theatre tickets for London shows; we offer London theatre tickets & great money saving theatre packages, including a show ticket and dinner before or after the performance.

SAVE UP TO 50% ON WEST END SHOWS!
We are always looking out for great deals on London’s top theatre shows so that we can pass the savings on to you. From plays to musicals to spectaculars, our variety of offers guarantees something to entertain everyone’s tastes.

DINNER AND A SHOW FOR UP TO LESS THAN THE PRICE OF THE TICKET!
An evening at the theatre wouldn’t be complete without a pre- or post-show meal. We have searched the city to find excellent restaurants and deals to compliment your trip to London’s West End. With a guaranteed reservation at restaurant near the theatre, you won’t have to worry about rushing to the show or missing the opening scene!
