Web Hosting Tips
(2 Things)

----------------
Avoiding Cross-linking Penalties:

For webmasters who own more than one site, at the same hosting company, there is a possibility of big cross-linking penalties. The engine algorithm penalty occurs when cross-linked sites are shut down by hosting at the exact same time for longer than a seven hour stretch.

The reason for your sites being turned off would be because you have not paid again for hosting. A smart thing to do, to prevent this from happening, is to keep your credit card's available balance more than the amount required to pay for all hosting costs one more year. Also, the credit card's expiration needs to be up-to-date, at your hosting account.

Based on my experience, hosting companies are strict when it comes to paying for hosting. When a site has not been paid for, it will likely be turned off within two days of the end of its contract. The reason for this strictness is to let users know that hosting should be #1 priority when it comes time for payment.

If you do see a drop in organic traffic because your sites have been turned off, I would start removing cross-links right away. What should happen, based on my experience, is that your sites' algorithmic scores will slowly improve.

Tips on Creating a New URL Name:

When registering a new domain name, webmasters should take one to eight hours to search available names that include the most popular keyword(s) of your site's theme. The reason for this is because your organic engine rankings will get a big boost for your keyword phrases.

The smaller in characters the web addresses you create, the more friendly they are to engines and users.

Commercial sites seem to get more respect when they end in .com, even when adding up to eight extra characters.

When creating new inside pages, the most relevant and popular keyword(s) should be used for the address. Example: http://www.thyseo.com/tips.html is good when the page is all about SEO tips.
