Getting on to the web is so easy these days, but malicious websites are being crafted to steal our identity, files and other personal information. We are also flooded with spam, worms, phishing attacks and more all the time. Until the internet regulates itself more rigorously, what can you do to protect yourself? StopZilla is an award-winning and inexpensive software package that detects and protects against nasties on the web. It can protect you against Spyware, aggressively malicious websites and web browser hijackers, and includes an advanced popup blocker to stop those irritating adverts.

Generate your own MySpace layout

MySpace is a fast growing phenomenon, many people now have a profile on the social networking site so it is easy to get lost in the crowd. To make your profile stand out why not use a MySpace Layout Generator.

The generator allows you to choose background options, text colours, graphics and even cursors so you can make your own MySpace layout. There are also a number of tweaks you can make such as centering your profile or removing links. As a beginner you can get extra help, or just try out the various options until you get a better understanding. The other option is to use a premade layout rather than starting from scratch.

Gaining valuable backlinks to your website

World-Click.com offer a number of web directory submission packages to help you gain backlinks to your website. The more backlinks your site has, the more likely you are to be at the top of the search engine results when prospective visitors are searching for websites like yours. World-Click offer a service that I use myself, and I thoroughly recommend them for their high standards and great communication.

Directory submissions are just part of the whole mass of things to consider when promoting your website. Directory submissions are not a silver bullet, but are a easy way to help boost your websites rankings. New directories are popping up all of the time, and the newest directories will typically have a higher acceptance rate of links submitted to their sites. That’s why World-Click offer new directory submission services, where they will submit your site to the newest free directories being announced every single day!

If you’ve got a brand new website, you want to get it noticed by the search engines as quickly as possible. Rather than rely on just directory submissions, you can also get article submissions, blog posts, and social bookmarks too. This variety of link building techniques is a great way to your new site started, and World Click offer a range of packages to suit a range of budgets. Their SEO submission packages for new sites start at just $39, and as the prices go up, the more comprehensive their package!

I’ve dealt with Prasanth and his team at World Click many times over the last year, and I really do recommend them. If you want a reliable and high quality service, they’ll meet those expectations.

Starting your own website with Triple.com

Ever thought about running your own website, but thought it was expensive? Actually, running a website is surprisingly cheap. If you’re going to run your own shop, or maybe a blog, or possibly your own site that you’ve written, you don’t want to be wasting your money on expensive hosting fees. It really is easy to get some cheap web hosting, costing as little as just $3.99 a month!

To start with, you need to buy a domain name. This can be anything you like (as long as its not been taken). Businesses in the US typically use a .com domain, but UK businesses typically use .co.uk. If its a personal website, then you can choose any domain you wish, such as .net, .com, .org, or even .name.

You should look for features such as php and mysql with your hosting company, as they are required to run nearly all freely available ecommerce and blogging software packages. A long list of great features is one thing, but if you don’t have reliable web hosting, there’s no point having the features! Triple.com offer daily backups, backup power supplies to the services, 30-day money back guarantee and data protection measures. It’s nice to see both reliability and low cost hosting in the same package.
