One of the biggest confusions in the world of blogging is whether or not Google PageRank actually does anything. When Google first started using PageRank, it was one of the main factors in their algorithm to order web pages according to relevance, but due to recent algorithm updates to stop spammers, PageRank has been getting…
Just a couple of days ago I decided to join Blog Engage. Basically, Blog Engage is a paid social network where bloggers can connect, share content, build backlinks, vote for other bloggers’ posts, and much more.

As I was doing research for my history project on the first ten presidents of the United States, I couldn’t help to notice how many unrelated results from sites like Yahoo Answers, Wiki Answers, and ChaCha came up before reliable sources. These sites rank incredibly well and if you enter any query into Google in…
If you are a beginning blogger that uses Google AdSense as a source of revenue, you probably check your earnings every few days to see if you are getting closer to that $100 payment threshold. I started earning with AdSense in 2010 (on websites and YouTube) and just received my first payment in October 2012….
It hasn’t been that long since Google last updated their algorithm that powers Google search results, but bloggers and internet marketers continue to whine and complain about the updates.

One of the reasons you may not be earning the amount of money you would like is because of poor advertisement placing.

If you use HostGator for your email services, you run the risk of taking your own websites down every time to check your email using IMAP. This is because due to HostGator’s policy on CPU processes, you can only have 25 things running at a time. Processes can be anything from a user accessing your…
Since I started blogging and promoting my blogs online, I have been fascinated with black-and-white hat techniques to boost PageRank, AdSense revenue, etc. By fascinating, I mean that I find it interesting that so many people use black hat techniques to outrank people being fair on the Web. If you have not already figured it…
In the world of blogging, I think it is important to collaborate and share ideas with other bloggers. This can lead to new ideas, friendships, and even a successful blog. I have decided to create a post here on Omega Web where I will ask a few questions, answer them myself, and then turn it…
One of the things I’ve noticed lately is the number of .co domain names sprouting up on the Internet. The .co extension stands for Columbia, but it has recently been recognized as a global TLD, which is why the .co creates so much chatter. I just bought my .co domain name, and I feel it’s…
The following is a guest post from Doug Glaston. Doug is a writer on social media and Internet marketing who also is a content provider for Home Security Team.

I recently signed up for the Daily Blog Tips Newsletter and received a tip about Google PageRank that I had no idea about, so now I’m here to share that tip with you… What Is Google Page Rank? Page Rank is Google’s numerical value that they assign each website on the Internet. This value is a…
If you have ever been to a blog that had advertisements in the sidebar or links within the posts advertising specific products, those are called affiliate links. Affiliate links are basically ways for companies to get more customers. For example, if I buy the Cash Donator plugin and use it on my blog, I can…
If you visited Omega Web yesterday afternoon, you would have noticed an outage due to a change in web hosts. I recently switched to HostGator for a couple of reasons, and I hope I am here to stay. To recap, I purchased my first web hosting plan from FatCow in January of this year. I…
