I really shouldn’t have to type more than that, it’s the quickest tip ever. But take this as a notice that you need to always have your site backed up in case of an emergency. Try to work it into your weekly agenda that you back that database up. Don’t forget to delete old backups periodically so you aren’t wasting space on your computer.

Quick tip to me is ASAP means 24 hours.  Whether you mean as soon as possible or as soon as posting, it doesn’t matter.  It means 24 hours or less now if you are online. lol

Ultimately, if you do everything right, but your site is just like every other well-made site, you still may not be able to make money off it. Your site needs to have something unique that reflects who you are and what you can provide and honestly why they should go to your site instead of others.

Everyone wants things fast, and adding a search box or an easy site map will help them find what they’re looking for quickly and easily. I personally think that a site search box was one of the best things invented. I use it frequently on other sites and blogs.

Besides the danger of having out-of-date information, pages that are updated more often get visited more often, and give you a better chance of keeping more customers. Updating your pages also helps with your search engine optimization and page ranking.

Many people keep themselves updated by using RSS feeds instead of checking websites constantly. I personally love using my google feedreader. By adding a RSS feed, you can not only catch these users, you can also tailor feeds specifically for their interests.

Not only do you need a font that’s readable and colors that don’t hurt the eyes, but it’s also extremely beneficial to have correct spelling and grammar. Customers aren’t likely to stick around if they think you’re lazy or don’t know what you’re talking about. Verdana and Tahoma are two common fonts that are very easy to read.

Make each page the same format, font, color, etc to keep visitors from getting confused at where to find what they’re looking for. It’s easier on the eyes for reading as well.
