If you’ve tried your hand at building an Internet-based business but haven’t yet reached the success you want, find out about these eleven deadly mistakes and how to avoid them.

Mistake 1 - Not Treating What You Do as a Business.
The difference between a hobby and a business is that a hobby doesn’t make you money - it costs you money.

If you’re earnest about starting a profitable online business, approach seriously and focus on generating revenue. Treat your online business as you would any regular business.

Mistake 2 - Being Distracted by Too Many Good Ideas.
You can light up a room with a light bulb, but you can cut through steel with a laser beam. The same is true with your effort and ideas.

Too many Internet-Entrepreneur-Wanna-Be’s lack the will power to stay focused. Chasing too many ideas at the same time often leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and with little result to show for their hard work.

The key to success is to select one business idea and to develop it completely before moving on to another project.

Mistake 3 - Not Selecting a Specific Niche.
Perhaps the biggest mistake of all is trying to be everything to everyone. You can’t - so stop!

It’s very counter-intuitive to focus on a smaller slice of the market and most people are afraid to do it. But when you do, your business will grow faster, and you’ll be more financially successful in less time.

Mistake 4 - Falling in Love With the Wrong Product Idea.
Even the most experienced entrepreneurs fall into this trap from time-to-time and develop products without doing any research. Before you devote any serious amount of time and effort to developing your new ideas make sure there is a demand for the type of product, information, or service you want to launch.

Mistake 5 - Falling for the “Get Rich Quick” Scheme!
Remember the old adage “if something is too good to be true…”? It’s alive and well on the Internet.

Countless people buy into the idea of making millions online overnight. Sadly, they buy into programs hyped up with empty promises only to find themselves “out of cash and out of luck” a short while later.

Be aware of spammers, illegal money-winning scams, and buying “ready to go businesses” that are “hot but will sell for cheap”! Before you fork over your money investigate if those hot businesses have ever made a dime for their current owner.

Doing your homework will save you valuable time, money and many sleepless nights!

Mistake 6 - Going Into It, Instead of Growing Into It.
While the Internet makes it easier to reach your potential clients, you’re still building a business - and that takes time. Don’t tell your boss you’re quitting today because you started this hot new online business last night and you’ll be “rolling in dough in no time flat!”

First make sure your business idea works and is profitable.

That’s one of the advantages of Internet Business - you can start small and step-it-up as your business starts getting sales and generating profits.

Just be sure you can consistently replace your current income before jumping ship and telling your boss to “beat it”!

Mistake 7 - Being a Copy-Cat!
Quickly - what is the most popular business on the Internet? You guessed it - it’s how to make money on the online!

It seems that everyone who has bought a course on making money online is credible enough to teach this subject a week or two later!

Don’t fall for the allure of easy money - because it’s only a perception. In reality your chances of having a successful online business are much greater when you are different from the pack.

Mistake 8 - Wasting Time and Money on Developing Pretty but Useless Websites.
A bad idea is a bad idea - no matter how pretty you dress it up. Many people waste precious startup dollars on expensive but needless graphic design work, pretty logos, and complex web design.

In reality, many businesses can be simple and inexpensive to get off the ground. In fact, a simple site with little or no graphics will often make more money than one with all the latest bells and whistles flashing all over the page.

Think - what is the core concept of your business. Outline it on a single sheet of paper, then implement it fast in it’s simplest form. You can always give it a makeover and make it prettier if it’s successful and profitable.

Mistake 9 - Not Building Relationship with Clients.
“Even though you don’t know me from Adam, I want you to take out your wallet and give me $20 - in exchange I’ll make you the King of the Universe!” What!? You don’t want to give me your $20? What
a surprise!

Most people think about starting a business online in terms of getting a quick sale - with no prior relationship with their potential clients at all.

In reality, you’ll be more successful when you make your first goal to collect contact information from potential clients and follow up with them on regular basis.

It’s much easier to “sell something for FREE” than trying to convince people to give you money at first.

Make it your goal to prove your credibility online and make your business all about relationships with prospects and clients, and you’ll build a thriving online empire.

Mistake 10 - Calling It “QUITS” Too Soon!
If your new online venture isn’t making money at first, don’t walk away from it too soon. Many entrepreneurs have multiple “failures” in their background - which in reality are lessons in what didn’t work.

Evaluate your ideas and get help with gaining a new perspective on what you’re doing. With some new ideas you might find a new way to position your business differently and make it profitable.

Or maybe you simply need to give it more time to gain the traction and momentum you want.

Mistake 11 - Being too cheap!
While it’s a good habit to be thrifty with your dollars, don’t confuse saving money with being cheap. Remember the price you’re paying for things isn’t always expressed in money. It’s also the time, effort, and lost opportunities you can’t take advantage of because you lack the know-how or are busy doing low-level tasks.

Smart online entrepreneurs continually invest in their Education. They buy marketing training programs, time-saving software tools, and systems that allow them to grow businesses faster with less
effort.

The best news is that getting good basic training in how to start your own information marketing business doesn’t have to be expensive.

• Spider:
  A spider is a robotic program that downloads web pages and looks at the code of the page. The spider doesn’t have any visual components at all, if you right click on most web pages and go to view source that is what the spider can see.
• Crawler:
  While the spider is downloading pages, it is the crawler’s job to strip apart the page and look for links. It is the crawler’s job to look at the links and then decide where the spider should go next determined on the links or a pre-defined list of URL’s.
• Indexer:
  It is the indexers job to analyse different aspects of a web page. It looks at Entities such as, titles, headings, links, text, constructs, bold, italic, and other style portions of a page that are ripped apart and analysed.
• Database:
  The database is where all the results and pages are stored, considering that there are an estimated 10 billion web pages on the Internet this can take a huge amount of storage space, which will be increasing indefinitely.
• Search Engine Results Page:
  The results page is where the clever stuff takes place; this is where the engine decides which page matches the query that was entered in the search box of their home page.

Top 10 SEO Tips

The following tips are not necessarily in order of importance, but are in the order you should consider when building a new website from scratch. My top 10 tips ranked by order of importance for high rankings are displayed elsewhere.

1. Know your geographic market and ensure your domain has the correct TLD.
   If your primary market is the UK it is important to use a .UK TLD and ideally have your domain hosted on UK based servers.
2. Include keyword in Domain name (using hyphens if necessary).
   This doesn’t mean having a domain name like keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword.com try to stick to the one hyphen and not read as spammy. A good example is a site that sells wheelchair ramps with the URL of the site being www.wheelchair-ramps.co.uk
3. Create as much content about your products or subject as you can.
   After doing this divide in to 4 or 5 sections (this will help later when creating your navigation structure)
4. AFTER you have your site content start keyword researching
   There are tools you can use for keyword research; Wordtracker and The Google AdWords Keyword Tool to name but two. I personally use a combination of the Google Keyword Tool, Google LSI and T.J. Common Sense.
5. Decide on 4 or 5 primary keywords to use as main sub-sections
   Ideally have an idea of 4 or 5 main keywords, call them your Primary Keywords and then try to position secondary keywords with the Primary Word most closely associated with it.
6. Sit down and sketch out your navigation system
   Put a lot of time in to this and play around until it is right, use Primary Keyword as headers for 5 main Sub-sections and use secondary keywords as headers for content pages under each Primary Keyword
   
7. Re-write content using knowledge previously gained about keywords and phrases
   This doesn’t mean totally re-writing and stuffing the page with keywords, it requires writing paragraphs ensuring the right phrases are in the right places but isn’t obvious that the phrases are written for the search engines. Do not write too much information on each page and do not stray of in to writing about something else.
8. Structure each individual page
   With your content rich, keyword balanced page written, you now have to create the page structure. Each page should be seen as an individual website.
   Starting from the top,Page title should reflect the content of the Page ensuring you use the primary keyword for that Page Meta keyword tags, (although not overly important), should list 4 or 5 individual keywords related to the Page you have created.
   • Meta Description tags, this should be a short concise description describing what the Page is about. This is very important as a selling point as you can manipulate the search engines in to displaying this when the person searches for the keyword used in the description. A favourite of mine is “Provides information about the latest KEYWORD now in stock and available online” or words suitable for the product.
   • Avoid bloated code by using external style sheets and minimum coding.
   • Main page layout was previously discussed whilst sketching the navigation system, but it is important that all links are seen by the engines and are using the correct anchor text related to the pages they are pointing too. Avoid using javascipt for links and if you have to use images ensure you use the correct alt attributes. If the page has too many links on it and looks messy this can be overcome by using a combination of css and javascript to create drop down boxes, but should only be used if you know what you are doing. If you have the opposite problem, and want to include links on the page but not necessarily have search engines follow them, this can be achieved using drop down option boxes.
   • With yout general layout and your linking structure sorted you should now sort out your headings. The main page heading of the page should use your Keywords and be in H1 Tags, this should be followed by your most important paragraph, ideally working down the page you should use secondary headers from h2 to h4 (always using the keywords if possible)
   • If you have used images on your page ensure keywords in the Alt attributes, this doesn’t mean keyword stuff them but just describe the image using the keyword.
9. Proof read your completed page and get a 2nd opinion
   With your page completed try and get someone to check it for you to see if it reads to spammy and to see if you have missed out any obvious key phrases that should be on the page.
10. Construct your site.
    With the previous procedure completed for all pages it’s now time to put the site together. Simply use the previously devised linking structure, group similar pages together under appropriate sub headings and ensure all links are active and using correct anchor text.

 

I have experience of using perl, php, c#, visual basic, c/c++, java and also seen simple sample program of other languages. I think c++ is the best programming language. Pointer is oviously a problem for beginer but you can easily avoid them.

So why so many languages? Is there is technical reason, or is it just commercial war?

I love these features to be present in a modern language

1. c like syntax with { bracket
2. included assembly facility like D programming language. looking at D feature it seems it is superior than C# but digital marsh can only do so much competion with microsoft at this stage.
3. built in flex/yacc facility. like i can select syntax i want but program will be converted according to my choice of converter. For example i like ruby syntax then i write the code in ruby and compiler automaticaly convert them to a intermediate language. .NET is doing that but i am talking in programer level by simply using a config file. like compiler.exe   program.cpp syntaxconfig.txt
4. built in parsing like embeded html and php code. <cpp  my c++ code >  in same program <c# myc#code >.
5. cross platform without recompilation
