It all depends on where your site is startingfrom. How? Great question, you get a mere 4 lines of text toplay with in Adwords so every single line counts. Even more thanthat every single letter counts (even the Capitalisation ofletters will make a difference to your click through ratesbelieve it or not). But what's in a name? Your name in your ad is of course your URL. When crafting an ad,most people spend alot of time concentrating on the headline (well worth doing asit is the most important part arguably) and on the ad text (alsoa good thing but not as important as you'd think). After the headline, the next thing that prospects eyes are drawntois... Yes you've guessed it - your name - your URL! But what can I do with my URL I hear you say? Just because you have 1 domain name doesn't mean you need to useit. There is nothing inGoogle's T&C's that prohibits you from using a different displayURL to that of your destination URL (although you will have toown the display URL and it must resolve to a pertinent page -i.e. If you're advertising pet food, it must be about pet foodand not resolve to www.pdqprospects.com for example.

Top 10 Webmaster Challenges Webmasters deal with a myriad of complex design challenges every day. This article will discuss the top ten challenges and provide solutions and tips for solving each problem. The Topic Of Your Website The first thing you will have to deal building your website has nothing to do with the web design itself, it's me related to content writing but it must be defined and will effect the rest of your actions. So first of all you need to decide what the topic of your future website is. Topic is very closely connected to another web design issue: keywords. The keywords you select will depend upon the topic you have chosen. When thinking about website topic ask yourself a few questions: What is the goal of the site you are making? What are you trying to achieve with your site. Specify a goal, preferably in one short sentence.

SQL is a standard that is used by all database vendors and programmers to define, extract and access the information that is stored in databases. SQL began life as an IBM creation but was standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as ANSI/ISO SQL in 1988.

As developers, we should endeavour to make our lives easier wherever possible... no one wants to re-invent the wheel after all. Functions and Subroutines exist to not only save us time, but to bring power to our ASP.

We've all seen them they require one piece of information when you buy a balloon, the colour. Let say we asked for a red balloon... The balloon salesman armed with this 'information' then does a pretty basic action... he hands you the balloon. The balloon you received is a direct result of the information you gave the balloon seller. Functions are just the same... they return to you a value based on the information you provided. Lets look at an example Function: - <% Function getBalloon(strColour) Dim Tempstr strColour = lcase(strColour) 'This converts the value lowercase. Select Case strColour Case "red" Tempstr = "Here is your red balloon" Case "yellow" Tempstr = "Here is your yellow balloon" Case "green" Tempstr = "Here is your green balloon" Case "blue" Tempstr = "Here is your blue balloon" Case Else Tempstr = "Sorry, we have sold out of that Colour" End Select getBalloon = Tempstr End Function%> 3 Rules of Website Designing and Layout Now that you have got your domain name registered, your next worry is about designing a website or getting it designed, depending on your budget,inclination and knowledge.
