Supplemental sites are part of Google’s auxiliary index. We’re able to place fewer restraints on sites that we crawl for this supplemental index than we do on sites that are crawled for our main index. For example, the number of parameters in a URL might exclude a site from being crawled for inclusion in our main index; however, it could still be crawled and added to our supplemental index. (Google Webmasters Blog)
The index in which a site is included is completely automated; there’s no way for you to select or change the index in which your site appears. Please be assured that the index in which a site is included does not affect its PageRank.
This basically means that Google will see your page results as secondary. Some of the causes include: not being linked to enough, duplicate content, or no content at all. An indication could be if your website gets the gray N/A status when you go to check your pagerank on sites that check it like SEO book, or the Google toolbar. Other reasons for N/A are banned by Google, and not crawled by Google bots or Google spiders yet.
What can you do? Put up content, link to your website from other relevent sites i.e sites that have decent to good Pagerank, edit your content so it's not stolen and Google doesen't filter your articles, or try your lot on another domain.

What Should I use to make a website? PHP or ASP. What is the Difference between PHP and ASP?
Here is an aritcle about choosing to develope your website is PHP or ASP. Note that PHP now stands fore Hypertext preprocessor. I think that anything that makes creating websites more easily, cross compatable, and less expensively is ok in my book! As web developers and more importantly online marketers, we need to harness the powers of the best tools available to reach our goals.
Web pages used to be simple affairs, where everything you needed to do could be done in HTML, there was really one set of rules and one set of expectations. Today's world is far more complex.
Web pages can be more complex and customers expect more from web pages. Terms like PHP and ASP now compete with HTML when starting a web page and it can be hard to figure out what option best suits your needs.
If you've ever driven an import car, you can appreciate the importance of being able to find support that meet your needs, if you're going to kick the tires with your website and turn it into something exception, having a large community that can support you is critical.
PHP, Personal Home Pages has more support on the internet than ASP - Active Server Pages. The larger user base gives you more allies; more people who can help you develop your own talents and your website.
Another advantage of PHP is that it's based on unix, giving it more cross platform capability than ASP as increasing demands of Microsoft's operating systems level the cost playing field between Microsoft products and Apple, this is ever more important.
And did we mention that in the grand tradition of unix, PHP is free, while ASP needs support software that isn't? For add-ons and additional tools, PHP's open source has a strong base of free tools, whereas ASP demands that you purchase these tools.
You can find help for your PHP programming from free to paid. Most professional ASP support is very expensive by comparison.
Also, you have to consider the costs associated with a web hosting on Windows Server compared to Linux Servers. For most cases, you will notice a substantial difference in prices.
Not only that, but Windows severs do tend to be unstable and prone to failures, are more likely to be attacked by viruses, Trojans and exploits. Linux servers on the other hand are much more stable and the attacks windows servers suffer in a daily basis are non-existent in Linux.
If you are considering either a dedicated server or a shared hosting, your fist choice should be Linux. I've yet to find a problem that can't be solved using PHP and Linux.
With all this, you might wonder why ASP still is out there at all. Part of it stems from ASP being based on the same methodology that's used to make macros in other Microsoft products.
People that have invested the time learning how to use macros in Word or Excel will be more comfortable using ASP. PHP is based on C++, a robust computer programming language.
Before this intimidates you, the free tools that exist out there allow for a lot of this to be hidden, until you're ready to take advantage of the power behind PHP.
Putting it all together, the power, the cost, flexibility, stability and support of PHP is far superior to that of ASP. If you're going to commit to building the best web page you can, commit to using the best tools you can.
Investing in learning PHP will pay off when you're able to pop the hood, invite your friends over and transform your web page from a normal, average, page to a sophisticated and highly toned performance page.

The difference between trackbacks and pingbacks (Pings) in blogging.

Trackbacks and pingbacks are similar but have their differences. Trackbacks were created by SixApart, the people who created the Movable Type blogging service. Trackbacks allow a blogger send to another blogger a link back their blog post. The purpose is to stimulate more conversation by having two blogs involved with the same topic. Trackbacks are supposed to help prevent bloger comment spamming, because they are from another blog and not random spam selling websites.
Pingbacks use differing communication technologies. Pingbacks use XML-RPC technology. Trackbacks use HTTP POST technology. Pingbacks use something called auto discovery in which the blogging software automatically detects links in a post. It also, automatically attempts to pingback the URLs. Trackbacks do this manually. With trackbacks in the blogosphere, a user has to manually enter the trackback URL that the user wants the trackback to be sent to. Pingbacks as opposed to trackbacks don’t actually send any content (text/images) when executed.
Trackbacks and pingbacks are a remote method to leave links and or comments on other blogs. Trackbacks send a link and content whereas pingbacks don’t . Trackbacks can be edited by the blogger who received the trackback. Pingbacks just send over the link from the other blogger.
The choice of using a trackback for a pingback is dependent on the blogger or user. Trackbacks are much harder to verify. They can come from anyone. Pingbacks are much more authenticate and verifiable, where the blogger being pinged verifies that the pinger is saying who they say they really are.
Feel free to trackback or ping this post!

How to online market sites like wish4free to get paid a lot of money or get free gifts

I added another wish4free website to my links over to the right. The website is www.laptops.wish4free.com. My Acer aspire 3680 had a little accident involving falling of my car a hem, and I could really use the mobility that a laptop allows for. I like wish4free because they promptly send the free gift or Paypal payment once you complete your referral offer and then get others to do so. Wish4free has a really good offer where you can get $240 dollars for only referring two people. That’s a really good deal by my standards.
Here is some e-commerce strategy for all of you people out there looking to get free items or money by signing up for referral links like the ones in the right hand corner of this page.
First, click the links in the blog under “links to get free electronics,” then sign up for an offer, which you can cancel in a few days. Finally, get others do use your link to sign up.
This is the tricky part. I had originally had really good success with this by just putting up eBay auctions. Right off the bat, I completed some Gratis network free stuff websites. I received an Apple Ipod 80 GB, Apple Ipod 30 GB, a Playstation 2 slim, and and Ipod shuffle (looked very different a few years ago). eBay caught on fast, and their staff doesn’t allow me to put up referral links. It’s also funny how many people never read my auction and thought that I was physically selling the actual item.
These days, it’s not so easy to get referrals. However, e-commerce marketers employ a few strategies to get free items from sites like wish4free, gratis networks, offer centric, and transcendent innovations (they have a unique system where you can complete the referrals for yourself).
Trading in forums: People go into forums like Freeipodguide and anything4free and trade referrals. This can be a good way to do it, but it gets very involved. Luckily, they have a trading rating system that helps prevent against users being taken advantage of. The system favors users who have traded more. These users get to go second in the trade, which is a huge advantage if the free Ipod/stuff trader doesn’t pull through.
Conga lines: These are systems where a group of people agree to form a line. The conga leader gets his or her free site referrals completed by everyone below. Then, after the conga leader is finished with their referrals. The person in Conga position number two becomes the conga leader. The process is then repeated for the new conga leader. Conga lines work great, especially if the people behind the conga leaders communicate well. This spreads out the effort evening between all the conga members, and thus sites like wish4free will easily be completed and everyone is happy. Other methods of web marketing referral free Ipod/stuff sites are social networking, blogging, and pay per click. I’ll get into these more in part two of this article.

With the internet becoming more and more crowded, the best way to get people interested in your products is by offering them for free!
Webtraxs is a client side analytical tool that tracks web site visitors based on cookies. The benefit of client side over server side analytical tools is that client side is that you can get more in depth statistics in your web site visitor reports. Client side tracking enables every page to be fully examined and detailed stats are available such as: bounce rate, entry pages, exit pages, origination, time on site, keywords, and more. Client side analytics resides on the user’s computer as opposed to server side which just tracks base stats from the server.
Free net tracking sites weren’t always available. It used to be left to just large companies to gain control on their website traffic. Now free stat counters enable you to take control of your clicks to your website and see which areas of the site need improvement and which don’t. You can click directly on a link that shows where the user came from and it will take you to this referrer website. No other media medium allows for such tight control and the World Wide Web.

Google Analytics Features and the Difference between Google Analytics and Web Tracking Tools.
In the year 2005 Google acquired Urchin and used their software to their Google analytics tracking. Google analytics is used for tracking and creating business plans for free. There are three different types of in Google Analytics web tracking. There are executive Google analytics accounts, marketer (GA) accounts, and webmaster (GA accounts). You can also choose between marketing optimization and content optimization within your Google Analytics tracking account. Google analytics offers a vast amount of data including, where in the world came from, keyword reports, search engine reports, visits, page views, direct visits (visits from search engine queries), referral visits (visits from other websites that link to you), time on the site, and more.
Google Analytics is easily integrated with Google Adwords campaigns and Google Adsense campaigns. You can track your data using conversion tracking. This is crucial to success with your campaigns.
Google Analytics is known for not showing the spider (bots that crawl the internet) searches in their web site statistical reports. This is a question that I have often heard from clients at my hotel web marketing company that I work for. They ask, “Why do other online analytical reporting software like Statcounter, Urchin, Web Trends, Hitwize, and statssheet.com, show such different results than Google Analytics?” The answer lies in the fact that Google knows their own search bots/spiders, and these aren’t counted in the statistical reports. Also, definitions are different between different reporting programs. A page visit in GA may be counted as something different in another program. Google Analytics counts a page visit as one even if the user visits the site twice within a half hour time span as long as the browser that the user is on is still open. This could differ in other programs. There are two types to methods that analytics web site programs use. Cookie based web site reporting and IP based web site reporting. With Cookie reporting, (Google Analytics uses cookies based web site tracking) web sites that have cookies turned off in their browser will not show up in the reports. Also, search engine bots and spiders will not be counted. With IP based tracking, more page visits are going to be counted.
Google Analytics is a great way to track web site hits and varies greatly from different web traffic reporting programs. I will explain each program more in detail and other ways in which they differ in part two of this article. Keep reading to follow along.

Google Analytics Explained Part one. The basics of Google Analytics. How to install the tracking code into your website to track your web hits
Google Analytics (GA) is a free website tracking tool provided by Google. It allows website owners to create and install tracking code to put into their websites. The code is automatically generated by the program. The procedure is simple. Go to https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount and click analytics (second blue link near the top right). Next click add website profiles (bottom left blue link). Next enter your website address into the field that you see. You don’t need to worry about entering http:// (hyper text protocol) because that is already done for you. The code will automatically be there for you. Click on the code and then hold down control and hit "a" to select all of the text. After this hold down control and hit c to copy the text to the clipboard. Then go to your website or blog and paste the code into your website. Mine looked like this.
After the code is installed, you can go back to your Google Analytics account and click finish. Now in the website profiles table, you can see your website url and in the sixth column (vertical) you will see that the status changes to updating. Then finally it will have a little green check mark and say completed and tracking. After you see this, you can now click view reports in the column next to the status column (two to the left). There you will see the main tracking line graph, visits online tracking, page views online tracking, bounce rate (how many people loaded your web site and just left—this is bad!), average time on site, maps, direct visits, referring sites, and more. These are all located on your dashboard, which is a floating, semi-transparent window that provides contextual access to commonly used tools in a software program, according to Wikipedia (basically just a simple window that lets you have access to the tools or things that you will need to use throughout the website).
This is how a Google Analytics account is set up. Keep reading more articles by myself on this topic to get a details on how to use Google Analytics reporting tools and other web site tracking tools.
