Why a domain name? Multiple domain names? Sure!

Multiple domain names seem silly at first, but they can be quite useful.  To be taken seriously on the web, it's important to have a domain name.  And there are many good reasons for having multiple domain names (yes, you can have more than one domain name point to the same website). The price of a domain name is a bargain these days, so it may make sense for the following reasons:

1. A common misspellings - if your domain is often misspelled, it might pay to purchase an alternate domain of the misspelling.
2. Advertising tracking - Utilize the tracking logs available on your hosting by finding which site was referred by which advertising promotion.
3. Sometimes surfers often mix up a .net or .com ...or maybe you are an .org - if you have them all, you don't lose a prospect.
4. To separate areas of a large website - you'll be indexed better if your online store has it's own domain apart from being buried in your main url.
5. Email marketing - avoid having your main domain marked as spam.
6. A domain name with keywords pertinent to your topic can boost your rank.
7. Some people have made a lot of  money registering and trading domain names on the after-market.  As long as you don't cyber squat, it's perfectly ok to do.
8. Names are being registered at an incredible rate - if you wait to get it, it may not be there.
9. Directories & Search Engines are much friendlier to short domain names vs. long ones. And a legitimate domain name gives you more credibility than a Geocities or other freebie sounding one.
10. It's easier to move.  If you decide you don't like your hosting, it's simple to move new hosting with a domain name because your address stays the same.

Did you know there is a tag (some behind the scenes code) that tells the search engines to make sure to come back and look at your site in a specified length of time?  It can also tell the search engines to keep out as well. While meta tags are no longer the end-all be-all of search engine rankings, they still play a part in telling the search engines what to look at and what to ignore.  Without them the search engines will just look at whatever they see - which is not necessarily what YOU want them to see.  Meta tags are helpful in directing the search engines to specific content and pages within your site. 

While meta tags are helpful in your search engine rankings, content is still king.  The most important factor in good rankings is meaty, useful content.  Articles and text with lots of keywords and relevant information are the most important ingredient to great rankings. 

What are "Drivers"?
Drivers are small programs that make your hardware work and play nice with the rest of your computer.  For example, you hook up a printer to your PC but it won't work unless you put the CD in the drive and install its "drivers".  As a convenience, sometimes very common drivers are included in the Windows operating system itself - saving you having to download or install them from CD.  In fact, Windows itself uses many internal drivers you never see, but are instrumental in making Windows work.

Driver can also be understood in the context of a person driving a car - you have the car in the garage but it won't go anywhere unless someone gets in the seat, turns it on, pushes the gas pedal and knows how to obey the traffic rules.  Put the wrong driver behind the wheel (like say, a 5 year old that doesn't know the rules or how to work the brake) and what happens?  The car crashes or just doesn't go!  Same with your printer, scanner, mouse, and anything else that's attached or inside your computer.  Our driver also needs to be told about new driving rules or perhaps someone added a GPS to his car for which he needs instructions - same with your computer - that's why it's important to update drivers sometimes. 

Updates are sometimes necessary because there is something new. The auto driver has to get information about the new rule so he can continue to operate the automobile safely and without problems. Same with your PC.  When one area of your PC is upgraded (new video card, windows update) sometimes you need to get new drivers so other peripherals (printer, scanner, something internal) can understand the new rules.  Updated drivers also fix minor problems that were found after the product was released - often called bugs. 

The best part is most manufacturer's provide updated drivers free on their website's.  It's not often nowadays that something is free - so take advantage of this and keep your PC running smoothly by checking to see if new drivers are available periodically for the peripherals (scanner, printer, other attached items) you use the most.
