All businesses should take all necessary precautions when looking to keep their valuable information secure. A major problem that Internet programs are experiencing is hackers. If you do not back-up your data then these intruders should not be the only thing your business focuses on.
Hackers are defined as Internet intruders who work their way into a computer network. You have more to fear from bad back-up habits than cyber invaders. If you do not conduct a regular data back-up, hardware will fail, accidental deletions will occur, and floods and fires can permanently wipe out all of your sales records, customer contact information and order history – the data which is the core of a business.
Regular back-ups are suggested. A back-up or the process of backing up refers to making copies of data so that additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. These additional copies are normally called “backups”.
Since a backup system contains at least one copy of all data worth saving, the data storage requirements are considerable.
Data Protection Recommendations provided by Microsoft.com
Test your backups regularly by restoring your data to a test location. If not, you will never know if the data can be successfully restored if and when you need it.
Back up all date weekly if not daily to a CD, second hard drive, or shared folder on a network. Windows XP includes a back-up utility that can perform scheduled back-ups.
Keep a copy of your weekly back-ups at another location to protect them in case of a break-in, fire or other disaster.

Link Popularity Software
There are many ways to help generate links to your website. The easiest step is to ask friends and family for links. The most difficult step to do is to actually wait for those links to appear.
Online tools, such as LinkPopularity.com, can help companies find links. Other tools are also available. Search Engine Optimization for Dummies: 3rd Edition suggests a link popularity software called SEO Elite (www.SEOElite.com). The program costs $167 and it is designed to look for links to a site in various search engines, visit each of the pages containing the links, and then return with the following information:
The URL of the page linking to the website
The Internet protocol (IP) number of the website on which the page is held
Whether the link that the search engine thinks in on the page is still there
The PageRank of the page
The Alexa rank of the page
The anchor text (link text)
The number of outbound links on the page
The total number of links on the page (outbound plus internal website links)
Whois information – data about who owns the website on which the page sits
The link value – an estimate of the value of the link, based on the PageRank divided by the number of links on the page
A contact e-mail address pulled from the page
SEO Elite also gives you the ability to find potential link partners and e-mail them, and a way to search for potential link submission pages and quickly submit information on them.

Search Engine Essentials
A thorough investigation of exactly what search engines are and how they work is very important to consider before actually registering a website. Although we have come to think of search engines as giant applications that find information, a search engine is really three different applications that work together to find and retrieve content. The applications include:
Indexer – The back-end application that finds and indexes pages for inclusion in a database; other names for this type of application include spider, robot, and crawler.
Database – Stores the index references to web pages.
Query Interface – Handle the questions submitted by users.
Search engines aren’t able to find or index websites without some help, which is why people choose to register their sites. Another way for a search engine to locate a website is through a link to an actual page on the site from someone else’s site. After a search engine finds a site, it uses the links within the pages to find additional pages within the site. In this way, the search engine navigates its way through a website one link at a time and adds the information from the website into its database.
Search engines do not always store all the data in a web page. As an alternative, they create indexed references to the pages. Majority of the time, such an indexed reference contains the following information:
Page Title
Page URL
Summary Description
Keyword List
