By Website Introductions at 07/10/08 21:25

Being a freelance web developer can be a rewarding experience. It's a job that you can do at your own time, it pays handsomely as more companies are starting to have their presence felt online, and it is a job that one usually loves to do.

But how will you survive this fast-growing industry? How can you make it to the top of the web-development ladder? Here are some advice from About.com

Web Design Survival

From canvas to the Web. This is how artists have become. Artists do not only paint, they design websites as well. Some do it for fun, for the sake of the hobby, while some do it because they earn a lot of money from it.

If you happen to be one of those in the latter, then you are in luck. I have here some guidelines on surviving the business.

SEO Tools for You

There is no quick way to go up the Google search rankings as the Big G takes into consideration hundreds of factors before cataloging your website. Thus, those services who insist on instant SEO is obviously a fake.

Now, you can actually manage your SEO on your own! With a little bit of dedication and knowledge, you'll easily go through this one. Here are some tools that you can use.

Directory Submissions, Bravenet Traffic Exchange and Obtrusive Obnoxiousness

I realize that the instructions are probably the last thing people who submit to our directories read. It also helps explain why since Mid March, 2008 we've approved 8,298 submissions and rejected 4,324.

Many of those sites we rejected would have been approved had the instructions been read and followed a little beter.

Now another problem has cropped up, and I don't think reading our instructions would have helped... we say "... and most importantly that our human wasn't subjected to a barrage of popups ... presentation that frustrate their ability to verify your listing."

Now, comes Bravenet and some Traffic Exchange / Exit Popup / Popunder. If you are using this service I bet you are not only frustrating out reviewers but your potential clients as well.

We have a solution and many may find it brutal, but much less so than the brutality of Bravenet

Flogs

Blogs are, well, everywhere. And this includes this particular blog you are reading right now. While this blog does not accept any form of payment from the websites linked here, it may be very well accused of being a fake blog, or a flog, due to its nature.

So what is a fake flog, or a flog? Simply put, it is a blog pretending to write genuine stories when, in fact, it's one whole advertising strategy.

[Ed note: I believe the person who wrote that is a fake person, and I am a fake editor, and everything you read it fake and of course the website we link to is fake-- if Frootbat31 had paid us to write about his blog, then we might actually be real. It's a lot more fun being fake.]

Dont Know - Come on Just Ask!

How do I often wish that my personal webpage ranks high on Alexa, and that everyone of you out there knows about me? But wishful thinking does not come true unless backed by appropriate techniques which need to be learned. SEO is something which is easy but difficult at the same time and you certainly need to discuss things to find out about this mystery.
