Whenever you are making constant changes to your site it is important to realise that any change in the Search Engines are not instant. So if you change URL’s on your pages then the search engines will take a while to update with the new URL’s. Even at that, they will still hold your old URL indexed for some time.

What this means is that anyone finding the old URL will recieve a 404 (Page not found) Error.

It is possible to customize the 404 Error so that the page redirects to the home page, to a site map, or sales page or squeeze page. This would allow the visitor to navigate away from the 404 page and keep them in your website. With a generic or plain 404 page the visitor may get annoyed and leave your website.

To redirect visitors to a customized 404 error page requires just a few simple steps. In your file directory of your website you should have a file “.htaccess”. If not, just create a blank text document and use your ftp program of choice and upload it to the website.

Open the file “.htaccess” and add the following line.

ErrorDocument 404 www.yourdomain.com/404error.html

“yourdomain” is of course the http:// to your website. 404error.html can be any file name you want, but I like to keep it simple and something that I think will make sense to anyone looking at the file directory.

Now you can hand code or use your favorite web editor to create your custom 404 page. I would recommend keeping it simple and not include a lot of content. Use it get your visitor back to looking at your site.

Hopefully your visitors will not ever land on your 404 error page. If a visitor does find it, your website will look much more professional by taking this small step. If you have a website that is selling, by all means use this page as another source to expose your client to your sales pitch.

So, the question begs… “What Can Be Done with cPanel?”

If your web hosting doesn’t offer shell access, cPanel will be the only way to manage your web hosting, cPanel is a web based server control software that allows you to do the following operations and a whole lot more. Common operations such as adding FTP users, creating databases, creating mail accounts and a multitude of other hosting operations can all be performed with cPanel.

Creating Mail Addresses

If you have the domain xyz.com and you would like to create a mail address called info@xyz.com, you can perform the following. Firstly click on the Mail tab from the front page. There you will see options to create, modify or delete mail accounts. If you to forward mail to an existing account here you can set an addres to forward to the account of your choosing. To read emails access the Webmail tab from the front page

Managing your domains

You may want more than a single address directed towards one web site, for example if you owned xyz.com and xyz.net, this can be achieved by using the Parked Domains tab, here you can type any address that you own to point to one of your web sites. If you hosting provider allows you to have more than one web site on your account, you can add domains via the Addon Domains tab. If you hosting provider supports the creation of sub domains you can create these via the Sub Domain tab.

FTP Options

You can create additional FTP users, set their access levels and other FTP related tasks using the FTP tab.

Database Tasks

To create a new database, or modify existing databases use the Database tab. Here you can perform all allowed database tasks, to perform more advanced database operations you will need to use phpMyAdmin, this can also be accessed from the Database tab.

Analyze The Logs

When running a web site you need to know what your visitors like, where they are coming from, which search engines are bringing the most visitors and all other data about them. Normally you will have access to the raw log files, but these are hard to analyze, to see data that is formatted about your visitors in an easy to read way go to Web/FTP Stats, here you will have the option to review your sites statistics using a variety of software such as Webalizer or AWStats.

Fantastico

Most if not all cPanel installations these days come with Fantastico which is an auto installer for many php based scripts. Fantastico can be used to install popular php scripts such as Wordpress, Mambo, phpbb and many other php products. Using Fantastico is the easiest way to setup these php based scripts and will save you having to manually upload the scripts, and more often than not Fantastico will do all the configuration of the script for you which is a real time saver.

cPanel is a very advanced application for configuring your hosting and learning all the tricks can take some time, but hopefully you now have the basics down and you can progress from here as your experience with web hosting increases.

Internet Marketing guru, Brad Callen, just told us about a free keyword tool
that they recently created.

The tool allows you to see what any Adwords advertiser is currently bidding
on via Google Adwords!

And what’s even cooler about it is how it works. All you have to do is browse
Google, and the software will automatically place a “view keywords” button
below any Adwords advertiser’s listing.

If you click the button, up will popup a window that shows you the keywords
they’re bidding on! It’s super cool.

It does a whole lot more, but we’ll let you play with it yourself.

Just click the banner below where you can download your free Adwords keyword tool and enjoy it.

I’m gonna let you in on an underground tactic I use to out rank the big sites in Google…

Have you ever noticed that these big corporate sites just seem to dominate Google for every keyword they write an article about…

I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. In every niche there’s always a few sites that rank at the top of Google for every keyword you’re trying to target…

Not to mention there’s mega sites like Wikipedia and About.com that just dominate every niche out there…

Well I found a secret tool that shows me EXACTLY what these big sites are doing so the little guys like us can copy what they’re doing & get the same results…

It’s called the SEO Checkup tool and my buddy Shoemoney just developed it… This thing is awesome.

It tells you EVERYTHING your competitor’s are doing to rank for a certain keyword.

Like what they have in their tags, where their links are coming from, and how they set their page up to rank so high in Google.

Seriously, this thing works so well.

Anyways, Shoemoney just emailed me yesterday to tell me about a new video he made that shows you…

* How you can actually “spy” on the big sites and see exactly what they’re doing to rank so well.

* How you can outrank your competitors by copying what they’re doing

* How you can cut hours of TEDIOUS work out of your day by using the SEO Check Up Tool…

I highly recommend checking out the video by clicking at the banner below…
