Google Adwords is definitely the leader in the PPC (pay per click) Advertising Industry. As Google.com is the no.1 search engine, it is able to provide huge traffic/ visitors from across the globe. The Adwords program is very flexible as you can set your own budget and control your marketing expenses. It is a PPC program suitable for small-scale Businesses as well as Corporates. The program also has the option which allows you to display your advertisement only to visitors from a specific geographical location. This is really beneficial for Advertisers who want to target visitors from specific countries. The “contextual Advertising” technology helps you to attract visitors only who have specific interest related to your products or services. This can lead to high conversion rates and better profit for your Business.
Although the Adwords program is filled up with rich features, it may be expensive due to the heavy competition for certain keywords. Unless you learn the trick, it may be difficult to get the best ROI (Return of Investment).
If you have ever been frustrated by those few cents earnings from CPC programs like Adsense, I would say CJ (Commission Junction) is a great choice to make good money if you run high traffic websites. From the perspective of publishers (Webmasters), it is one of the top Affiliate programs which offers wide selection of products to promote with the best commission rates. CJ offers easy navigation along with advanced reporting tools to track your sales and site performance. The sign up process for new members is simple and can be completed within few minutes.
Although one can instantly create an account in CJ, it is really a pain in neck to get approval from each Advertiser to promote their respective product. Depending on the various factors, your application may be approved or denied either instantly or take some time. This particular Affiliate program is definitely not suitable for newbies (to Internet Marketing) and Webmasters who run low traffic websites.
HostGator is one among the leading Web hosting Companies in the World and is most suitable for Individuals who manage large network of websites. They offer good server uptime and server speed backed with friendly Customer Service. HostGator offers free professional website templates in numerous categories through which we can save a lot of time and money involved in creating web templates for our sites. The hosting plan is filled up with many features that are suffice to manage our websites and keep them running.
However there are some downsides associated with their hosting service. If you forget to customize your error pages (404 error) then it would show up their advertisement by default. Some of their hosting plans promise huge disk space and bandwidth which may not be suitable for every Website Owner. Without knowing this truth many Website Owners would be paying more money on their hosting plans instead of buying hosting space from some other Cheaper Companies. The pricing displayed on the home page is for long term contracts only (currently 3 years). If you are a person who intends to pay on a monthly basis like many others do, you may be frustrated while placing the order.
Being a Web Developer and part time Domainer, I register hundreds of domains in a month. Although I have used the services of other Domain Registrars, I personally feel that Godaddy’s service is beyond my expectation and their domain pricing is the cheapest in the Industry. Godaddy also rolls out offers or discount codes on periodical basis which could help Customers to get the best deal possible. However the Domain Registration process is little bit frustrating due to the excessive Advertisements. It is ridiculous to note that recently they display advertisements even when you want to change your registered domain’s Name-Servers! But excluding this Advertisement factor, Godaddy is the best in its own domain.
While comparing their hosting service with other leading Hosting Companies, I would say it lacks lot of hosting features like cpanel, awstats, webmail clients etc. and their web servers are not as faster as offered by other Hosting Companies. Remember! That’s why I called Godaddy as the “Best Domain Registrar”.
