Dedicated Server

Choosing a good dedicated hosting provider can be complicated, so we've made it a little easier for you. The list below is the result of our vast market research, our effort to bring you the best and the most reliable providers. These deliver good value for the money, and they all have a very high commitment to quality. Because every dedicated server customer has his or her own specific needs and requirements, it's difficult for us to single out the provider that will suit you the best. Therefore, we recommend that you visit these sites yourself and have a look at the different offers, so you can find the best deal for you. Use our ranking as a basic guideline, and an assurance of quality and attention to service.

What is a Dedicated Server?



Server rackIn the web hosting business, the dedicated servers, also referred to as dedicated hosting, are the Rolls Royce. A dedicated server is a powerful computer that is used solely as a network server; in other words, a single computer in a network reserved for network needs. It refers to the rental and exclusive use of a computer and it provides services for only one account or domain name. A dedicated server is therefore solely for use by one organization, and is leased and stored in the data centre of the host company. Read Wikipedia's article about dedicated hosting for more information.



A dedicated server includes an operating system (mostly some variants of Linux or Windows) a Web server, related software (such as a SQL server, Control Panel and much more) and connection to the Internet, housed in the Web hosting company's premises. It is typically required for a Web site or a group of related company sites that may develop a substantial amount of traffic. The server can usually be configured and operated remotely from the client company and you can customize the server to your own needs. It can be assigned to function only as a resource server and cannot be used as a client. The server is owned by the web host and you don't have physical access to the server.



A dedicated web hosting is beneficial while developing a complex business or a high-end e-commerce site as you will need more space and security - a web server dedicated to your business. It is purchased by a company when they want more control of their server. They purchase or rent the hardware from the hosting company who then normally support and manage it. Internet connectivity is provided to the server, in many cases over 10 or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centres, similar to co-location facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. You do not need a large initial investment to set it up.



Dedicated hosting comes in two forms. Managed and unmanaged.



Commonly, unmanaged hosting plans include hardware, operating system, web server and Internet connection. Managed plans however include the basics and pretty much everything else that the only thing you need to worry about is your web site and content.



A dedicated server could also be a computer that manages printer resources. However, it is important to note that not all servers are dedicated. In some networks, it is possible for a computer to act as a server and perform other functions as well.



If you are looking for dedicated server hosting you should be careful while choosing the right specification and package. Things to consider are operating system, data backup and monitoring service, hardware options, space, bandwidth and technical support. Ask the hosting providers to give you a few website for references, read hosting reviews before you sign up and be sure that the price is affordable. We know that the dedicated servers on this site are the one that will give you the most reliability and flexibility for your money.

Adsense - Earning More Per Click

There
are two common sense ways that anyone can earn more per click
with Adsense, so I'll list those first:



 

1) Relevancy


How
relevant your ads are to your content plays a part in what you
earn per click. Ads that are *very* specific to your content have
a higher payout than general ads on specific pages - or general
ads on general pages. How do you get the most relevant ads to
show on your page? Make sure your page is specific, and well optimized
for the specific topic or subject.


"On
the Page Optimization" is what you want to focus on here.
If you need some pointers on how to optimize a page, see this
recent issue of SSWT:

http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/archives/042005.htm


 


2) Keywords


Adsense
and Adwords go hand in hand. If the keywords you optimize your
web page for are very competitive on Adwords... you will earn
more per click. If your topic or keywords are NOT very competitive
on Adwords, then you will earn a lower amount.


While
it is not disclosed what the exact percentage is, your Adsense
earnings are directly related to what the Advertiser is paying
at Adwords for every click through. You are paid a certain percentage
of that click fee when you generate clicks to the Advertisers
site.


TIP:
Use your Adwords account (or open one) to find out how much Advertisers
are paying per click for any given keyword phrase.


 


That
second method is a hot topic lately. In fact, people are building
sites specifically for the purpose of earning Adsense revenue.
I've even seen a few products on that topic, lately - one of them
being SwapClix (mentioned
in a recent blog post
)


 

Here's the concept:


Find
high paying keywords* and build a website around them, using Adsense
as your source of revenue. Some people are even creating one-pagers
(using reprinted material or free articles) that carry 3 Adsense
modules on the one page... and then advertising these pages on
Adwords (or other pay-per-click engines).


The
goal is to bid on less competitive keywords in the same niche
where you can get good placement for the minimum bid. You then
advertise your optimized page, which will hopefully display the
more competitive (expensive) ads. With this method, you stand
to earn way more than you spend...


 


*High Paying Keywords - this is actually an inaccurate way
to call it, though it's the popular phrase used in these discussions.
What you are looking for is Competitive keywords. Meaning that
the advertisers are paying higher bid prices for these words/phrases
because it is a very competitive market. The more they are paying,
the more you stand to earn ;)


 

Personally, I am not into building "junk pages"... but
anyone with a brain can certainly figure out some very useful
ways to put this theory into action - - while still providing
a great resource to their target market!



Google Adsense Tips

If you hear about people achieving high payments per click with AdSense, remember that's only part of the story. You also need lots of page views and a high click-through rate.

Here are some ideas on how to achieve those three things:

1. If you're starting afresh designing a site specifically for AdSense revenue, you'll want a simple design that makes it easy to paste Google's code into a horizontal or vertical space on the site. For experienced webmasters, that's easy.

2. To increase your click-throughs, design a simple, uncluttered page with the AdSense ads displayed prominently.

3. Use white space, so that the AdSense panel catches the eye.

4. Stick to only one topic per page – that should make it easier for Google to serve up highly relevant ads on your pages.

5. Plain, bland pages with few competing hyperlinks should result in higher click-through rates on the AdSense ads.

6. If you want to target certain high-priced keywords, use them in the file name, in the heading on the page, and in the first paragraph – in other words, use search engine optimization techniques.

7. If you change those keywords, Google will change the ads that appear on your page.

8. Watch out for cases where Google has guessed wrong, and is displaying ads that won't interest your visitors. Figure out which words are involved, and rewrite those words. Help Google by sticking closely to the topic.

9. Don't worry about losing traffic via those clicks. If you can earn maybe 30 or 50 cents or more per click, you WANT to lose visitors!

10. You'll also want keyword-rich pages, optimized to rank highly in search engines, so you can serve lots of pages.

11. Where possible, use skyscraper ads, high on the page. They catch visitors' attention more than horizontal banner ads.

12. One of the beautiful things about AdSense is that you can now generate revenue from informational sites even if there are no obvious related affiliate programs. With 100,000 advertisers, there's a good chance that Google will find ads that match your pages, better than the big ad networks can.

13. Don't be tempted into trying to create thousands of spammy computer-generated articles. Human beings review sites for AdSense. Build useful, interesting sites. Google likes them.

Even More Tips

14. Have a look at the top 100 keywords on 7search. This will give you a quick idea of keywords that people are willing to pay big money for. You can also type phrases into the 7Search Keyword Suggestion Tool. This is just step one of your keyword research. You'll want to dig deeper.

15. At FindWhat pay-per-click search engine you can do a search for any phrase and quickly see how much advertisers are paying per click.

16. If you have a Google AdWords account, you can experiment. Pretend you are planning to advertise using different keywords, and see how much you'd have to pay. That will give you a good indication of the popularity of the keywords.

17. You can also experiment typing words into Overture's View Bids Tool. Let's say you type in "asbestos cancer . The top three advertisers often pay about $12 per click. So that would be an good choice for a topic – provided you're a specialist on mesothelioma. For "debt consolidation", the top two advertisers often pay more than $9 per click.

18. The Overture Keyword Bid Amounts Lookup Tool speeds up your research at Overture. Type in a keyword and learn how much advertisers are paying per click at Overture and also find out how many searches were done on that keyword last month.

19. KeywordSleuth is a wonderful tool for very fast keyword research. You can find hundreds or even thousands of keywords – or key phrases – with just one click. It's fabulous to use if all you want is to find an enormous number of related key phrases with one click – much better than messing around with Overture. Try the free trial.

20. You can use Wordtracker to look for the 1,000 most popular keywords. You can also use it to compile a useful list of keywords relating to one topic. If you buy it for a day or a week, you can do a lot of research in that time. There's a free trial, too.

21. The brainstorming and research tools in Site Build It! are my favorite way to do research for keywords that are in high demand and low supply.. SBI is a superb tool – actually, a suite of tools. It's an all-in-one web hosting, site-building and web marketing tool. Type in a keyword and SBI Manager will present you with dozens of profitable keywords – ones with high demand and low supply. It can present them in order of profitability. Drill down, and you'll get dozens more profitable keywords.

22. It also has an "Analyze it" tool that helps you build keyword-rich pages that rank highly in search engines. It's simply superb. I use it and love it. Site Build It! is an excellent choice for quickly building large, simple sites designed to rank highly in search engines – which makes it perfect for generating lots of AdSense revenue. Check it out.

My Site is Rejected From Adsense

Of course, if your site is rejected, it doesn't mean it is poorly developed. There may be other reasons. See below:

23. Is your site an "About Me" page? Google does not accept these kinds of personal sites because most of them do not have a specific topic. They are usually just random facts about the web site owner. It would be difficult for Google's technology to display targeted ads on these kinds of pages.
They are looking for sites that contain a generous amount of information on a certain topic. It could be anything from golfing tips to hair care techniques. Just make sure there is an obvious theme with original content.

24. Is your site organized? Be sure your site has a neat and clean navigation that's easy to follow. Also ensure all the links work and that there are no typos. Keep the colors to a minimum and make sure each page has a consistent layout.

25. How many pages are on your site? Even though Google doesn't specify a page number requirement, they are obviously looking for web sites with a decent amount of content. Again, it's not likely a two-page site will get accepted. Try to strive for at least 20 pages.

26. Is your content solid? Don't just submit a web site with a bunch of links to other sites. Be sure you have enough original content of your own to make your site unique.

27. Be sure to read the program policy and procedures carefully and make sure your site hasn't violated any of the terms.

Need any more help, just ask away. I am willing to share any information I may have that would increase the amount of money your site generates from using Google Adsense.
