4. Http or Https?
HTTP, or hypertext transfer protocol, is the way a Web server communicates with browsers like Internet Explorer® and Mozilla Firefox®ttp. HTTP lets visitors view a site and send information back to the Web server. HTTPS, hypertext transfer protocol secure, is HTTP through a secured connection. Communications through an HTTPS server are encrypted by a secure certificate known as an SSL. The encryption prevents third-parties from eavesdropping on communications to and from the server.

16. Keyword Searches
You want to research whether the words you use will generate traffic. These words can be either on a website or a blog. Currently, FB profiles do not effect keyword rank.
The best keyword search tool is the Google Keyword Tool, which accesses the Google search engines. You will need a Google adwords account to access the Tool.

17. SEO
Search Engine Optimization refers to the techniques you can use to get your website found on internet search engines.
Off page optimization and on page optimization are two primary techniques.
Off page optimization is link building, when you can get vendors, associations or affiliates to link to you. That gives you credibility in the eyes of the engines.
On page optimization uses the keywords found in the keyword search.

18. Google Analytics is a way to track visitors to your site.
Google.com/Analytics
GA will also tell you where your traffic comes from – so you will know how and where to target your efforts in the future.
It will also tell you what on your website that has the most traffic – book download, about me, whatever.

To add watermarks to your photographic images, there are a number of tools that are available. I love this one because it’s free - and fun. It’s becoming more and more important to claim your intellectual property – i.e. your photos – as they are posted.
