I just read the notice from Native blogs, that the server will be going down for a few hours.

so if you find the pages loading slowly or not loading at all.. It will most likely be because the servers are being worked on.

In that case, refresh the page or come back later.

Thanks

haha, the question that kills every webmaster online.. What on earth can i do to the website to bring you people to me.. Do i have to dance on my head and do the hula in the nude or what!! Let me be completely honest.. The only way your website is ever going to get anywhere this day, is buy offering people what they want.. So step one is to find out what people want.. Try doing some research in your field, regarding what your site is about.. for example if your car is about 12 purple monkeys, try googling monkeys, purple monkeys, 12 monkeys, etc see what your competition websites offer.. then check their pr and see what they rate as. Compare those sites to yours, do they offer something you dont, etc. try adding surveys to your website, ask regular web visitors to take the time to take a short survey to assist you create a better website for them. Dont forget what your site is for. Many times when webmasters get obsessed with optimizing their websites to google, html, etc etc standards they completely forget what their website is there for. and if you dont know what its there for, then how will anyone else? Dont get stuck in the SEO rollercoaster ride. Google and all the large search engines will be forever changing. You will never keep up unless you have a team of dozens web developers on your team. Try and keep it simple, I love the feng shui philosophy of keeping things simple.. complicating everything too much will give people to much information at once. Remember The only way big sites make it online is by networking with other sites and companies. You need other sites to make it online. And it doesnt just go one way. Always keep an open mind to networking with others, its the best way to get your site more viewers. Search for similar websites that offer some things you dont, Write a proposal and send it to them. you can ask them to write an article about your website on their blog with a link and you will do the same. Maybe creating a network exchange where your link is placed on their website (in a viewable spot) and you do the same. Supporting eachother is the only way your going to get anywhere. trying to do it all on your own wont work for you, especially with googles new relative link system. Anyway thats enough for today.. Summary of all is :find out what people want. Do your best to provide that information keep it simple.. if it aint broke dont fix it. Dont get stuck on the seo rollercoaster - cause its addictive and you will have to book yourself in to an seo rehab center that can become costly.. :P and network, network, network
