When I started building a site/portal, I was very confused regarding which webdesigning client to use ?
Then I downloaded a free template from some free template giving site and then edited it.

I used NVU editor, an open source, free to use software.. Its a simple html, wysiwyg editor with CSS and source editing features.
It features extension add-on facility and tab feature like firefox.

Another option you have is Adobe Photoshop. Yes it is the best software, but paid one. The site have the best look when made through photoshop. You can create banners/logo for your site with the same.

There are many more available like CoffeeCup html editor and so on….

Link building is a way to check how many sites link to your site

It can be of different types like

1 - Oneway link building - Your link is placed on other web page ( The best method for SERP

2 - Reciprocal/Two way link building - You have to exchange the link by placing the link on your page.

3 - Three way link exchange - site 1 links to site 2 , site 2 to site 3 and site 3 to site 1.. So indirectly it fools search engines.

You can buy/sell links from websites like text-link-ads.com or adbrite.com

You can do link exchange from sites link linkmarket.net, linkalizer.com and so on..

Yesterday I upgraded my blog to the latest wordpress script v2.3.1
All went fine but when I was posting a new post or editing an existing post, I got following database error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'wrdp1.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN `wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY cat_ID

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php:160) in
/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 391

Even though i was getting this error, the posts got successfully posted on the main blog side.

Then I found that the latest script removed the post2cat, link2cat and categories table. And also found that Google sitemap plugin v2.7.1 (even though this is the latest version) was creating this problem.
I disabled this plugin and now everything is working fine. So dont get panic, just disable the plugin and keep reading dirkut blog for trouble free webmastering

Most commonly asked question by a webmaster after building a great new site..

Following are some of the ways which I would recommend for getting traffic :

• One-way link Building
• Search Engine submission
• Advertisers programmes like adsense, adbrite, text-link-ads etc..
• Banner advertisement
• Buying forum signature links
• Ads in newspapers, TVs, apparels etc.
• Recirpocal/ 3 way link exchange

But you have to collectively do all of them.

Not one of the above will suffice your requirements.

Today I will show you some more ways to make money online on internet from your site or blog. The best part of making money online is having fun along with it.
If you have a website or blog, you can sell various forms of advertisements on your blog like :
- Pay Per click Ads like Google Adsense, Chitika, Clicksor, Bidvertiser etc. You have to register with such Pay Per Click (PPC) sites, put their code on your website and you will start seeing text/image ads on your site. When a visitor to your site clicks on such ads, you will get some revenue out of it. ( Beware - don’t click on your own ads, you may get banned )
