Written in PHP using the CodeIgniter Framework, XtraUpload has all the features you would expect from a file Hosting Script. Free users as well as premium users have the ability to upload files but premium users get a lot more features such as viewing files, instantly downloading files and getting the URL’s of the files they have uploaded. You can also specify the file types, sizes along with many other options. Each user must provide a valid email address when they sign up for premium as the script automatically sends the username and password to them upon reception of payment through PayPal IPN. File Hosting websites brings in large revenues and is a very easy system to setup thanks to XtraUpload.

Many users are surprised to discover that Windows does not provide a direct way to get a list of file names contained in a directory. This tip describes how to create such a list in a text file, which can then be imported into Excel.

To generate a list of file names, you’ll need to use a DOS command typed in a DOS command window. To open a DOS command window:

1. Click the Windows Start button
2. Click Run
3. Type “cmd” (no quotes) and press Enter. if “cmd” doesn’t work, use “command”.

You’ll get a window like the one shown below. Continue Reading »

Some keyword research is surface-level, fire and forget type stuff. If you just need to see relative volume levels, then a basic keyword research tool is all you need. If, however, you want to really dive deep and get the full skinny on your keywords, I’d recommend having each of these data points.

#1 – Relative Search Volume from 3 Sources

There are three sources on the web that I’ve found to work best for comparative numbers research. These are:

1. Google Adwords: Keyword Tool – enter any term or phrase and get back data about both the average search volume and the volume from the previous month.
2. MSN AdCenter: Research Keywords Tool – you need to be logged in to use this, but the data is solid and shows actual counts.
3. Wordtracker: Keyword Tool – although the numbers Wordtracker shows are frequently less accurate than the two above, they are reasonably decent for estimating comparative search volume. Unfortunately, due to the declining share of Wordtracker’s data sources (the Infospace owned search engines – Metacrawler, Dogpile, DoGreatGood, etc.), niche and long tail term volume estimates can be way off.

Here’s why I don’t use Yahoo!:

Moving domains can make a tremendously negative impact on search engine rankings. This is because the major search engines use metrics on both the domain level and the page level to determine rankings. When a webmaster decides to switch to a brand new domain, they are resetting their domain metrics to zero whether they know it or not. Luckily, there are steps one can take to minimize and in many cases completely negate the affects of a domain move.

• Create a sitemap for your old domain.
• Create content (contact information, description of your company, indication of future plans) and something link worthy for the new domain. (You should start trying to build links early)
• Setup the new domain and make it live.
• Register and verify your old domain and new domain with Google Webmaster Tools.
• Create a custom 404 page for old domain which suggests visiting new domain.
• In a development environment, test the redirects from the old domain to the new domain. Ideally, this will be a 1:1 redirect. (www.example-old-site.com/category/sexy-mustaches.html to www.example-new-site.com/category/sexy-mustaches.html)
• 301 redirect your old domain to your new domain. Continue Reading »
