How to recognize your website links manually?

Recognizing your link through the search engine is not quite hard. Most SEO specialists are using different tools to find out their website links. But search engines could really give you this website links as long as you know how to command Google search engine and Yahoo search engines.
There are simple tips and tutorials I will be sharing with you on how to recognize your website links.
linkdomain:eyewebmaster.com -site:eyewebmaster.com +site:.edu
This type of command can help you find all the links coming from all .edu to this domain www.eyewebmaster.com.
You can try this by copying and putting it to your search engine browser. This for sure will work on Google and Yahoo.

I will explain further about the usage of this command:

linkdomain: “List all pages which link to a domain”
site: “It will restrict a search to a single site”
+: “This command will insist that the search engine includes a given keyword in the search results”
-: “This command will insist that the search engine omits pages which match a given keyword in the search results”

There is a lot of commands that you can use in search engines. But one thing Eyewebmaster had learned is that it is better to use Yahoo to find out your back links as well as your own internal links by following the command we have here.

How Google Search Engine Works and Caffeine Works

Google has already started crawling the web using Caffeine indexing system.

What is caffeine in Google terms? It is the new crawling system that would allow Google to index newer websites and pages faster and more reliable.
Matt Cutts had explained very well about this. I hope you will learn something on what he will be discussing to you in his video. I’m really thankful for this person because he explained very well how Google search engine works especially when you are finding or searching keywords in Google search engine.

Here are some key points to learn from his video:

1. How spiders work in their search engine.

2. How are links very important to Google.
3. How does Google decide for a quick result in a thousand or million keyword searched.

a) It should contain the keywords used in the search engine and how many times it was used in that page.
b) The word should be in the title, url, and adjacent.
c) Synonyms for those word used in the page
d) The page should be from a quality website and not from a low quality or spamming.
e) Page Rank of a website

This is how Google can give a quick result of your keyword search by combining this formula together. One thing more to learn from Matt Cutss’ video is that Google doesn’t accept any payment on this particular organic search result and ranking for a website. You need to work this things out by following the key points indicated in this article.

How to obtain a (SSL) dedicated IP address

This article will help and give you information regarding why you need to have an SSL or dedicated IP address and how to obtain it. One very important reason why internet users need to have a dedicated IP address is because of security purposes (SSL). We will explain here what are the requirements in having a dedicated IP address and how to obtain this for your site.
Requirements for dedicated IP address

1. Web Domain Name
2. Web Hosting

In some hosting, dedicated IP address are not included when you purchase a regular domain and hosting package, but you can obtain a dedicated IP through choosing some options in your hosting. Actually first thing to do is by purchasing this through your hosting. Eyewebmaster had listed additional steps you might want to do especially if your hosting is provided by this company “International Hosting Provider“.
Steps how to obtain your dedicated IP

1. Try to check or locate your hosting service/upgrade and find a line that says IP Addresses.
2. Find the line that says IP Addresses.
3. Check the amount of IPs that you wish to purchase.
4. Choose a payment method that is most convenient for you and click Continue to place the payment.

The article below was taken from CTRSITE website explaining further details about the matter.
The price for every additional service, including the dedicated IP addresses, is calculated on a monthly basis for the remaining months until the expiration of your hosting package. For instance, if your account expires in 3 months’ time, then the price for the additional service will be calculated for three months only. Once your account expires, you will be able to renew the add-ons, along with the hosting plan itself.
Once the payment has been placed and approved by our Sales Department, you will be able to see the ordered IPs in the Account Usage table marked as Available. Also note that a new section Dedicated IP Addresses will appear under the Site Management menu in your Web Hosting Control Panel once you ordered an IP address.
Ordering an IP address does not automatically assign it to your hosting account. Whenever you wish to put an IP address into use, just go to the Site Management; Dedicated IP Addresses menu and click on Request IP Address. Once you do that, an IP address will be assigned to your account and you will be able to use it as you wish.
Every IP that you assign to your account will be shown in the list right below the Request IP Address button in the Dedicated IP Addresses section. Also, when requested, the IP addresses will be marked as In Use in the Account Usage table on the left.
NOTE: Clicking on the Request IP Address button will only assign one IP address. If you have ordered multiple IP addresses, then you will have to request them one by one.
After the IP address has been purchased and requested, you can assign it to a specific domain/sub-domain name that you are hosting under your account. This is done through the Subdomain Manager (Site Management; Subdomain Manager). There you’ll see a form for creating new subdomains and a list of all existing ones.
When creating a new subdomain, you can specify an IP address for it, selecting it from the IP Address drop-down menu. If you wish to assign an IP to an already existing name, simply use the Edit button next to the subdomain in question. Again, to assign an IP to this specific subdomain, just select it from the IP Address drop-down menu and click Apply to confirm the change.
Note that every time you change an IP address, the system needs up to 10 minutes to update the new information. There is also an additional propagation time, which could be up to 24 hours.
IMPORTANT: The “www” subdomain is a default subdomain of your domain. Changing the IP address for the “www” subdomain also changes it for the domain name itself. In other words, if you wish to change the IP of my-best-domain.com, then simply change the IP of www.my-best-domain.com.
Hope you obtained a dedicated IP address for you site to be secured and to prevent hackers to hack your site.
