Advertising is an essential part of any successful business. Unless you are able to bring your product to market and let customers know what you have to offer then they will never know that they can buy from you. The Internet provides an excellent opportunity to deliver targeted messages to your customers. eZines or newsletters are one way in which you can effectively market online. An online magazine, or eZine, can be tailored to meet the particular interests of a subgroup of your customers - a group of people that you know are already interested in your product. This makes them more likely to read your newsletter and buy your product.

SEO - Building sustainable traffic

The art of "link building' is one of the most popular ways that experienced webmasters use to boost their traffic.  Link building is the practice of finding other sites that are willing to link to your site.  Not only does this help to improve your search engine rankings, but you may also enjoy an increase in traffic as people click these links.  Unfortunately spammers and other blackhat search engine optimizing companies started to generate meaningless links to their sites.  They would use computer programs to automatically register accounts on blogs and forums and then use these accounts to link back to their site.  In response to this Google (and subsequently other search engines) implemented a way for webmasters to mark links as being worthless - the "nofollow" link.  When a search engine encounters a link that is marked as "nofollow" they do not count it as being valuable for their search engine rankings.  This makes it more difficult to build quality links to your site.

Websites are written in a language called hyper text markup language, or HTML for short. It is called a "markup" language because instead of being a traditional computer language that deals with logic and procedures it rather provides a system of predefined "tags" which are used to organize and format text. In other words the language itself does not perform any commands on the computer, but rather relies on the web browser to interpret the tags and display the web page. Initially HTML was very limited and technology limited the ability of web browsers to display graphics and complex information structures. However nowadays our virtual world is a lot more attractive because of advances in web design.
