Accessing and Using Webstats in your cPanel Hosting

Cpanel hosting is fairly common and its very likely you have it.

1. Login to your hosting control panel. Typcially you would login by typing /cpanel after your domain name such as www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel You will then be asked for your username and password. Be sure to check your hosting account documentation if needed.

2. Once you login, you’ll see several icons to the right.

Look for the Web/FTP Statistics icon that looks like this:

Click on the icon.

You should now see a list of several different types of stats available. You should take a look at all of them so that you familiarize yourself with them. You’ll then likely discover a favorite stats package. Personally my favorite is AWStats. I find these are the most detailed and useful.

Using expired domains to increase your traffic

At some point while you’re building your website, you’re going to have to buy a domain name. This is the address that users type into their browsers to reach your site. That takes about five seconds, and depending on the name you want and whether anyone else owns it, it won’t cost you more than
a few bucks.

But domain names are also a golden opportunity to make some easy money.

I’m not talking about Internet real estate, where you buy up good names and sell them on for a profit—if you haven’t got into that now, forget it. The bottom’s fallen out of the market and the best domains are long gone.

I’m talking about expiring domains.

Thousands of webmasters invest time, effort and money to promote their site and build up traffic. Many of them then lose interest and move on, leaving their site active. That means that although they still own the domain, they’re not actively promoting it. But they don’t need to. All the automatic marketing systems they’ve put in place are still bringing in traffic. The site runs itself.

Now, at some point the ownership of those domains is going to expire. If you snap up those domains once they come back onto the market, you’ve got a pre-built stream of customers. You can either rebuild the site, or redirect the traffic to your domain. You could set up an affiliate program get paid for users someone else paid for.

It’s that easy.

There are tons of options, and lots of easy ways to make lots of money with very little effort. Opportunities like these are everywhere.

Websites such as www.expiredtraffic.com or www.deleteddomains.com actually do all the legwork and let you reap all the rewards. Expired Traffic even has an affiliate program and www.snapnames.com allows you to back-order a specific domain name.

Happy hunting,

Meet Brody

I have to admit- when my son Josh told me the news that they were having a baby, the idea of being a grandma already wasn’t that appealing.

But as the big day approached, I really began to look forward to it.

Brody Mika was born on May 31st 2008.

You have to wonder about the timing of things and that somehow no matter what, God has always got our back. With my husband shipped off 7 time zones away, and my kids all getting older and spending most of their time doing their own thing, I was afraid the loneliness would really hit my hard.

My first grandson, arrived at the perfect time. While Ben is away, I have lots of cuddling and spoiling to do
