July 28th, 2011 Comments off

After competing the process of domain registration and making your website live on the Internet, search engine crawlers visits it frequently. The main purpose behind these frequent visits is to collect the information of your website and classify it for indexing in the search result pages. Crawlers collects all the data about all the webpages of a website and send to the database and later on it is forwarded to the search engines for indexation. These crawlers use a specific technique to collect the data about webpages. Meta tags of any webpage is an important element of any web page as a proper Meta tag can play a crucial role in getting high rankings in the search results. Meta tag not viewable by the human visitors and only made for search engine crawlers. The information related to Meta tag is placed in the ‘<head>’ area of the HTML code of the webpage. Though Meta tag is a very simple thing to create by one should also take care of not making overuse of it by inserting lots of keywords within it, this may affect inversely as it is treated as spamming according to search engine policies.

Is integration of Apache with Tomcat really worth?

January 8th, 2011 Comments off

As Apache and Tomcat have high importance in web server hosting industry. There are both good and bad side this integration of Apache with Tomcat and there are different opinion about the same. Following are some points I would like to attach the discussion.

Clustering – When Apache is used as front-end it works as a front door for multiple Tomcat instances. Apache has the ability to ignore if any one of Tomcats fails. For this you need to use a hardware which is load-balanced.

Security – I we compared Apache with Java then we can know that Java has its own security manages and Apache works on bigger mid-share. Though this is a controversial topic but when one prefer to go fo Apache he needs to secure two systems at the same time but which can be appreciated by search engines also.

Clustering / Security – It is possible to use Apache with multiple tomcats for multiple URL name-spaces and in such situations Tomcats can be more protected individually. Though Apache is smarter proxy server one need to take care of it.


Add-Ons – In Apache one can add PHP, CGI and pearl very smoothly and such addition is very effective for Tomcat. Unlike Tomcat, Apache has many modules to be plugged in.


Dcorators - It possible to perform multiple decorators when Apache is in front of Tomcat which does not support of quick code.

Speed – Though it is very hard to compare speed between Apache and Tomcat, when things come to static content, Apache is quicker than Tomcat. But this only applicable in the case of high traffic websites. There are some exceptions where Tomcat wins the race by using connector wisely.

Socket Handling – In many cases Apache it known as better socket handler than the Tomcat. Tomcat handles the sockets through JVM which require to go through platform, hence makes Tomcat slower.

October 10th, 2009 No comments

As most are aware SEO is an abbreviation of Search Engine Optimization.It is important for getting organic search traffic to the website.Whereas,hosting is all about placing your website on the server owned by either you or by the Web Hosting provider.Here is some information about the relation between web hosting and SEO.

With the changing visitor choices and search methods,search engines have started to monitor almost every information which is related to the domain.This is something more than just the content on your website.

According to the search engine liking, backlinks or link building is considered to be the most essential aspect of SEO.Each backlink added to the list,acts as a bonus point in view of the search engine.Though,link building is not a laymans task.It is important for any website’s success to get backlinks from websites/domains that are hosted on different web host servers and with different IP addresses.The main intention should be,that the entire linkbuilding process must look natural.Incase most of the backlinks to your website comes from the same websites/domains,search engines may either think that you either own that domain/s or you maybe have purchased links from them.Here in both the cases, may create a negative impact in terms of seach engine rankings of your website.Therefore,it is necessary that the backlinks you get to your domain,comes from websites hosted on different servers from various locations that has different IP addresses to increase your authority in the search engines.

A straight forward approach to get online success is to adopt natural ways or pretend to be natural in the view of the search engines.The search engines bots determine the authenticity by validating the volume of backlinks coming from various authoritative websites hosted on different servers of different web hosting providers.

Therefore,if you are looking forward for a successful website, and with that intention,if you are setting up number of domains,it is advised to host it on different web servers offered by different web hosting providers.This move in SEO can help you achieve better results in the search engine result pages.Most of the web hosting service providers offer free dedicated IP addresses with their web hosting packages.You may contact your web hosts for inquiring about IP’s from different servers.Installing your website on such IP’s can prove to be fruitful and can save some extra bucks that you would have to pay to the other hosts for signing up for new web hosting packages.

There are various benefits of having a dedicated IP assigned to your website, one of the benefit from SEO point of view is that you are prevented from falling prey to the common IP assigned to the shared web hosting server that may be blacklisted by the search engines.If you are working on optimizing your website for particular geographic location,IP’s from servers from that region is the most effective way of geo targeting SEO.

Inaddition to this,it is required that you get your website optimized from a third party SEO firm or you may even use the freely available softwares that are already optimized.You may may even use such softwares on your server leased from the web hosting provider.Ofcourse not all web hosting packages offer you the privileges to install third party softwares onto the server. Usually, the web host offer such privileges with the Dedicated Server Hosting and VPS or Virtual Private/Dedicated Server Hosting packages,where you get the root or admin access to the server,with these packages you can install almost every third party softwares (ofcourse you need to check the terms of service of the host).

Google has started supporting Geo targeting,in this it targets users in a particular geo graphical location.To help users with that,Google has provided Geographic Target tools that helps in determining the way a website would appear in search requests made from a particular geographical location.

Geo Location SEOGeo-targeting can be considered as the most important factor of future SEO.This has been designed to provide more relevant search results depending on the location and the language as well.

There are few major points that needs to be bourn in mind when working on targeting customers from a particular Geographic location.

The first one is the domain name extention such as .com,.co.in,.co.uk etc.Out of these .com is a global domain extension whereas .co.in and .co.uk are country specific ie. India and United Kingdom respectively.If your business ,products or services are designed for a particular country and you wish to have customers from a particular geo-location it is important to have a domain with an extension of that country.

Secondly ,you need to choose a Web Hosting service provider who offer servers in that country or geographic location inorder to host your website.Equally, it is necessary to have an IP address assigned to your website from your targeted region.

Thirdly, it is important to carry out a research of keywords that are most commonly used by users from a particular region. You must use the same/similar keywords and phrases in your web pages inorder to get displayed in the search results.

Most of the users are unaware that rankings of a website differs in SERP’s from country to country. Every individual wishes to get their website ranked in the first position, inorder to do so some Geo Targeting SEO techniques needs to be implemented.As quoted above,one must use country specific domain names.

Web Hosting provider plays an indirect but vital role in your websites rankings.For Example: If you offer products or services to users in India and your website is hosted on the servers placed in US or any other country, you are bound to get much less appropriate customers as your website would start appearing in the search results of that particular country.

Targeted SearchIt proves helpful if you place the business address in the footer of the Web page, this helps Google bots to determine your website Location.

In your effort of Geo targeting SEO, it is necessary to have inbound links from country specific websites.The more the number of inbound links from your targeted geo location, the better are the chances of better rankings in the SERP of the geo location search results. To make things clear here is an example: If your website is targeting customers from India,then the more number of external links coming to your website from Indian web sites,the better are the chances of your website being listed in the search results of Google.co.in.

Another major factor of SEO is the content.It is necessary to have rich content in the webpages.It helps in getting organic traffic to a website, the more the number of organic traffic,the better is the chance of conversion.
