Now you can transfer money from your PayPal account to your Debit, Credit or Prepaid Card. This feature is available in 26 countries namely Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Estonia, Gibraltar, Iceland, Indonesia, India, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lichtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Philippines, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, UAE, and Uruguay.

This new functionality is a welcome to PayPal’s international users like me as we had very limited ways to withdraw funds from PayPal.

To withdraw funds from your PayPal account to a Credit, Debit, or Prepaid card, add a card with a Visa or MasterCard logo. Debit Cards are accepted only if they have a Visa or MasterCard logo.

View Web searching and browsing from a new perspective-3D. The free SpaceTime Beta 0.9 simplifies surfing by organizing items in a spatial way, as you would in the real world. Web pages appear as large thumbnails, one behind the next, in a visual stack that recedes into the distance. Pages browsed by URL go into a browsed-image stack. Search stacks show thumbnails of the results listing followed by the pages it cites. Every search produces another stack. Stack float on an invisible plane. Within a stack, you can quickly move back and forth using your mouse’s scroll button. You’ll also find navigation tools in a band below the stack area. Keyboard cursor arrows let you “fly” through the 3D environment or move stacks. Double-clicking on a thumbnail maximizes it into a browsable window.

With certain sites, the application can display search in its interface rather then as normal 2D Web pages. Currently this capability works with major search engines and a number of RSS feeds. SpaceTime’s eBay search integration is the most impressive. The software isn’t a full-blown browser, though, and it requires a pretty powerful Windows XP or Windows Vista PC (Mac and Linux versions are in progress), but it’s definitely worth checking out.

What makes a good web page What makes a bad web page? Here are some guidelines to design a better web page:

You Should Have A Theme

Define your theme clearly and make sure that your web pages, graphics and text all focus on that theme. So that the web page looks useful for the visitor or customer.

Don’t Add Images Unnecessarily

Make sure that the graphics used in your web page are small in size so that it loads quickly. Reduce the size of each file as much possible as you can. Use GIF format for your images as it loads faster than JPEG files.

Your Web Page Should Load Fast

Make sure that all your web pages are less than 50 KB in size including all animations, images, navigation and text.

Use HTML To Build Your Web Pages

Use HTML as far as possible and never use java, DHTML or similar codes which require your visitor’s browser setup correctly to show your page.

Respect Search Engines

You must respect search engines if you want traffic from search engines like Google, Live Search, and Yahoo. So read the webmaster guide lines of popular search engines before you design your website. Use the following link to read the guidelines of major search engines.

Google Webmaster Guidelines

Live Search Site Owner Help

Yahoo! Search Content Quality Guidelines

Love Your Surfers and Visitors

Design your web site so that surfers using a slow internet connection can also download and use your website easily.

No Horizontal Scrolling For Your Web Pages

Design your web pages so that you never force your surfers to scroll left or right regardless of their screen resolution.

Know Your Traffic

Use a good traffic analysis program which gives detailed information about the visitors to your web site. This information helps you to analyze the nature of your visitors. Use the traffic analysis programs Google Analytics & AWStats.

Today, it’s possible to host your site for as low as $1/mo. to as high as $50/mo. It depends on the disk space and bandwidth of your plan.

Features of a Web Hosting Service

Disk Space

Disk Space or server space is the amount of space (in MB or GB) you get to host your website on the internet. Most websites need less than 10 MB disk space. But it depends upon the type of website you are going to start.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data transfer per month in Gigabytes or even in Terabytes you get with your account. Now, what does it means to you? Let’s say your homepage is 50 KB in size including all graphics and text. Suppose your web hosting service gives you 5 GB monthly bandwidth.

Then it means that your web host allows a maximum of 100,000 visitors per month to your home page.

CGI Scripts

Make sure that the web hosting service you choose allows you to run CGI or Perl scripts.

Traffic Analysis

It’s important to analyze your traffic so make sure your host provides you a website statistics program which gives information about your unique visitors per day/month/year. And also about your traffic referrers i.e information about the source of your traffic.

Recommended Web Hosting Services

Never go for an unbranded web hosting company or web hosting services offered by members from forums. It’s because they don’t offer a reliable service. They may gain some customers today and may shut down their service tomorrow. Web Hosting Services offered by such members from forums are usually one-man web hosts. It means that the tech support, sales, billing and accounting are all done by a single person and he might be a reseller of a bigger hosting company. So never trust such people.

Now, I am going to introduce you three web hosting services namely GoDaddy, IXWebHosting and HostGator. Each of these web hosting company falls into a specific category. GoDaddy offers the cheapest web hosting service, IXWebHosting offers more features than the other two hosts. HostGator is my recommended web host and the most reliable web hosting company.

GoDaddy

If you are looking for a cheap web hosting service then I really recommend GoDaddy.com. Checkout their Economy Plan as well as Deluxe Plan.

Economy plan costs $3.99/mo. or $3.59/mo (12 months plan). It gives you 5 GB of disk space and 250 GB of bandwidth. It allows you to host only domain name.

Deluxe plan costs $6.99/mo. or $6.29/mo. (12 months plan). It gives you 100 GB of storage and 1,000 GB of bandwidth. Deluxe plan allows you host unlimited domain names. It means that you can host multiple web sites within a single account, sharing the same disk space and bandwidth.

Both the Economy and Deluxe plan comes with $20 Google AdWords Credit and $50 Microsoft adCenter Credit. If you don’t have a domain name then that is additional and it costs additional $1.99 if  you opt for annual plan or additional $6.95 if you opt for monthly hosting plan.

IX Web Hosting

IX Web Hosting is rated as the top web hosting company by several web hosting review sites. Checkout their Expert Plan and Business Plan.

Expert Plan costs $4.95/mo. and it allows you to host two domain names within a single account. It even offers you a FREE Domain Name. Expert plan gives you 300 GB web space and 3,000 GB bandwidth.

IXWebHosting’s most popular is their Business Plan. It comes with 2 FREE Domain Names and offers you 500 GB web space and 3,500 GB bandwidth, it allows you to host 8 domain names within a single account. Business plan costs $7.95/mo.

IXWebHosting offers you FREE marketing credits too. It gives you $50 Miva Credit, $25 Google AdWords Credit, $50 Yahoo! Credit, $50 BidVertiser Credit, and up to $100 ABC Search Credit with their Expert Plan. And with the Business plan you get all the above plus $25 additional Google AdWords Credit.

HostGator

HostGator is my favorite web host. HostGator is also ranked as the top web hosting company by several web hosting review sites. HostGator’s most popular plan is their Baby Plan. Read my full HostGator review here.

Baby plan costs $9.95/mo. It allows you to host unlimited domains within a single account. It comes with 100 GB disk space and 1,000 GB bandwidth. It is one of the most reliable web hosting company with excellent support.

HostGator doesn’t gives you FREE marketing credits. But never mind that as you can get all those credits for free from other source. I’ve coupons for $50 Microsoft adCenter Credit, $199 Yahoo! Search Marketing Credit and $50 Google AdWords Credit.

Planning to start an online business? Then, it’s time to choose the right domain name for your business. It’s important to have a domain name of your own even if you are going to promote other businesses (affiliate marketing). First think about which domain name(s) makes sense for your business.

Your domain name is your identity and people uses that to find your business. Now should you go with a .info, .biz or similar domain names? No!!!

Just go for a .COM domain name. Search Engines give more importance to .COM domain names. Also, people trust a .COM domain name more than any other domain names.

Now analyze the ‘Keywords" for your business and use that information to select a domain name. It’s because having a keyword rich domain is critical for your online business.

Start your "Keyword Research" using the following keyword suggestion tools.

Overture Keyword Selector Tool

Google AdWords Keyword Tool

Wordtracker

Good Keywords

SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool

Now select those keywords which are popular and rank them according to its popularity.

Registering Your Domain Name

Registering a domain is very easy these days. Just fill up the form and pay using your credit card (or PayPal).

There are tons of websites which provides domain registration service. I have registered around 24 domain names. I didn’t register all those domains from one site instead I used different services.

Recommended Domain Registration Services

I recommend three domain registration services namely GoDaddy, Netfirms and Yahoo! Domains.

GoDaddy is the largest domain registrar and it surpassed Network Solutions in terms of total domain names registered. GoDaddy offers one of the cheapest domain registration service. GoDaddy charges you $6.95/year for a domain name and charges additional $6.99/year if you want to enable Whois privacy.

Netfirms charges only $4.95 for the first year and then $9.95/year from the second year onwards. What I like about Netfirms is that they give domain Whois privacy absolutely free. So its a deal.

Now, what’s up with Yahoo? Yahoo! Domains charges just $1.99 for the first year. Renewals are at $9.95/year. What about Whois privacy? Yahoo! charges additional $9/year for Whois privacy.

If you want to enable Domain Name Privacy then I suggest you to go for Netfirms. And if you are looking for the cheapest domain registration service then choose Yahoo! Domains. Finally, if you want to join the largest domain registrar then register it with GoDaddy.

Microsoft on Wednesday said that the launch of its ‘Halo 3′ Video Game for XBOX 360 is one of the biggest in the Entertainment History with US$170 million in U.S retail sales in the first day as against Microsoft’s prediction of US$150 million.

‘Halo 3′ surpassed its predecessor ‘Halo 2′ launched in 2004. Microsoft sold 2.38 million units of ‘Halo 2′ on the opening day.

This new game is exclusive to Microsoft’s XBOX 360 Gaming Console and it costs $60 or $130 for the “legendary edition”.

The game had beaten movie releases such as ‘Spider Man 3′ and book launches such as ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ in opening sales.

‘Halo 3′ is available in 37 countries and in 17 languages. Microsoft expects that the launch of ‘Halo 3′ will boost the sales of its XBOX 360 gaming console.
