What is a SiteMap ?
On this article I will explain what a Sitemap is and what is it used for. You can guess that a sitemap is a Map of your Site of course, and that definition is from me to explain in the simplest way. According to Wikipedia, a sitemap is defined as:
The Sitemaps protocol allows a webmaster to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling.
Like the definition above, a sitemap informs the search engines about the available urls that can be crawled on your website. Some websites need sitemaps because their website might not be liked by the Google Bots or the Bots might have trouble indexing your website. But this is not the case all the time.
A sitemap makes your website extremely easy to be accessible by search engines. It is usually an XML file.
If you have a flash website, your content is not going to be indexed by the search engines because they can’t see the links. You can add a sitemap linking to those links and tell the Search Engines that you have those urls on your website so they can come and index them. If your entire content is in flash, then this is not a good option for you, but you can create extra html files to be seen by the search engines.
You can create a sitemap very easily online or with an program that you would download it to your personal computer.
If you are using a ready to go system, check to see if they already have an module for it. For example the Wordpress ready to go system has many plug-ins created by different programmers to generate a sitemap automatically.
How to add a “Email me” Link
On this article I will explain the way of adding your email address to your website as a link. First of all I want to touch the fact that people just write their email as text on there website like:
You can contact me at admin@website-name.com
I find these what so called “contact” ways so lame. They look very eye distracting. Instead of these you can have a “Contact” or “Email me” link on your website that would just open Outlook automatically to send a email to you.
You can do these by just adding the following simple link to your website. It is just like adding a normal hyperlink but instead of http:// on the link placement you add mailto: just like on the following example.

What is Google AdWords
In this article I will explain what is Google Adwords and how you can use it to find success on the internet. Google adwords is an Search Engine Marketing tool offered by Google Inc. If we look at it from the official definition it is:
Google Adwords is an online advertising program run by Google.
Google AdWords is an marketing tool you can use to sell your products. If you have an eCommerce website, instead of waiting for your website to rank better so you can get more visitors, try using AdWords, this way you can target specific search keywords and still appear on the “Google 1st Page” for any keyword.
Every keyword has different price, the more the compitition, the more is the price. This is why you should use this marketing program. You bid on keywords like an auction, the more you pay the more higher you are ranked in the AdWords space, you can choose to pay from 1 cent to any amount you would like to pay.
I prefer people who are selling online should use this program. Unfortunately if you are making earning from your content with an affiliate this is not a bad idea but still it wouldn’t make you too much money.
