Creating a site that is discoverable by search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, and search directories is only made possible through precise website optimization. To some it may sound easy, but there are many aspects of site optimization that takes knowledge and patience.
Does hosting matter?
A frequent question that comes up in the Search Engine Optimization phase is, does it matter who hosts my web site? The answer to that question is no, but that does not mean that domain hosting is unimportant. Certain factors of the hosting have a big impact on how your site ranks in search results.
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that permits organizations and individuals to provide their own site available via the World Wide Web.
With a ton of hosting companies to choose from, the biggest issue you will probably face with domain hosting is the location of your hosting company. If you reside in South America and you purchase a domain that is hosted on a server in China, your search engine rankings will more than likely suffer. Geographically, search engine crawlers tend to read your web site as being contradictory to your location. Many search engine results are based on geographical location, so this contradiction could be enough to affect your ranking.
Please keep in mind that the length of time for which you register your domain name could also affect your search engine ranking. According to Search Engine Optimization Bible by Jerri L. Ledford, several hackers use “throw away domains”, or domain names that are registered for no more than a year.
Familiarize yourself with the different types of web hosting services.

Data Protection
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.

Malicious Internet Activity: Spyware
Hackers are unfortunately becoming quite clever these days. They are finding ways to create automated profile pages on networking websites, such as Facebook, to spread spyware to unsuspecting users.
Spyware is a type of malicious software (also known as malware) that is installed on computers and that collects information about users without their knowledge. Users are unaware of the presence of spyware. Normally, it is secretly installed on the user’s personal computer. Sometimes, the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer installs spyware on purpose to secretly monitor other users. Spyware is also called privacy-invasive software.
Even though the term spyware proposes the secrecy of monitoring the user’s computing. It actually goes way beyond simple monitoring. Spyware programs are capable of collecting various types of personal information. This information can include: Internet surfing habits and frequently visited websites. Spyware is known to alter computer settings. This can cause slow connection speeds, different homepages, and/or loss of Internet.
Examples of Spyware
HuntBar
Internet Optimizer
CoolWebSearch
Movieland
MyWebSearch
Zlob Trojan
Zango (formerly 180 Solutions)
WeatherStudio
The response to the emergence of spyware lies within a small industry dealing in anti-spyware software. Anti-spyware software has developed to remove or block spyware. Many jurisdictions have passed anti-spyware laws, which target any software that is secretly installed to control a user’s computer.
