The conventional process to start website involves following steps

  • Choose a domain name for your website. You can search domain name on Smartgators portal Purchase a domain name from a this link.
  • Choose a hosting company to host your website here
  • Build your website. We can help you for developing your website if you are new for this.
  • We will set up this for you if you buy domain name from us or you can Contact your registrar to direct the DNS servers to point web requests for content on your site to the server that’s hosting it.
  • Many hosting companies supply a temporary alias that is added to your domain name so you can work on your site before making it live to the rest of the world. If you don’t have a temporary alias or don’t want to use it, but do need to access your website before contacting your registrar, you can modify the hosts file of your local machine.

A hosts file is a file that all browsers look at when getting a new website request prior to going to their DNS server. When you enter a website in your browser, your computer first looks at the hosts file for information and if it doesn’t find the website there, it requests the ISP’s DNS server to locate the IP address of the site.

Modify the Hosts File on a Windows 8 PC
Windows 8 protects the hosts file from modification by malicious programs. To modify it, you must run Notepad as an administrator.
Press the Windows key on your keyboard, type Notepad, but do NOT press Enter.
Right click on Notepad and choose Run as Administrator.

Log in (or have a someone with admin credentials log in).
Click File > Open.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
In the lower right corner of the Open dialog box, change the Text Documents (*.txt) to All Files.


Modify the Hosts File on a Windows 7 or XP Machine
Click on Start > Run > c:.
Navigate to c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and double click on hosts.
Open it with Notepad.

Hosts File

Add the IP address of the server that is hosting your website.
Press Tab and add the domain name of your website.
Save the hosts file.

Usually system will ask you to ” save as” so the best practice is you can copy the host file on desktop, make the required changes and paste back to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc


If you are unable to save it due to security policies on your computer, save it with a different name, like hosts2. Close Notepad. Delete the original hosts file and rename hosts2 to hosts.
You should be able to access your website (without a temporary alias) from your local machine by entering the domain name in the address bar of your browser.
Repeat the above process on any other machines you will be using when creating content for the site prior to making it live.

Modify the Hosts File on a Mac or Linux
Open the Terminal app.
Type sudo nano /private/etc/hosts. for Mac, sudo nano /etc/hosts for Linux.
Enter the IP address and domain name on a new line at the end of the file, as shown above.
Save.

1. Get Social

It’s not enough to yield great content and hope that people find it – you have to be practical. One of the best ways to grow the traffic to your website is to use social media to promote your website. Twitter is ideal for short, snappy (and tempting) links. If you’re a B2C product company, you might find great traction with image-heavy social sites like Pinterest and Instagram. Here’s more advice on making the most of social media marketing.

2. Write Irresistible Headlines

Headlines are one of the most important parts of your content. Without a compelling headline, even the most comprehensive blog post will go unread. Master the art of headline writing. For example, the writers at BuzzFeed and Upworthy often write upward of twenty different headlines before finally settling on the one that will drive the most traffic, so think carefully about your headline before you hit “publish.”

3. Pay Attention to On-Page SEO

Think SEO is dead? Think again. Optimizing your content for search engines is still a valuable and worthwhile practice. Are you making the most of image alt text? Are you creating internal links to new content? What about meta descriptions? Optimizing for on-page SEO doesn’t have to take ages, and it could help boost your organic traffic.

4. Link Internally

The strength of your link profile isn’t solely determined by how many sites link back to you – it can also be affected by your internal linking structure. When creating and publishing content, be sure to keep an eye out for opportunities for internal links. This not only helps with SEO, but also results in a better, more useful experience for the user – the cornerstone of increasing traffic to your website.

5. Don’t Neglect Email Marketing

So many businesses are focused on attracting new customers through content marketing that they forget about more traditional methods. Email marketing can be a powerful tool, and even a moderately successful email blast can result in a significant uptick in traffic. Just be careful not to bombard people with relentless emails about every single update in your business. Also, don’t overlook the power of word-of-mouth marketing, especially from people who are already enjoying your products or services. A friendly email reminder about a new service or product can help you boost your traffic, too.

6. Make Sure Your Site is Responsive

The days when internet browsing was done exclusively on desktop PCs are long gone. Today, more people than ever before are using mobile devices to access the web, and if you force your visitors to pinch and scroll their way around your site, you’re basically telling them to go elsewhere. Ensure that your website is accessible and comfortably viewable across a range of devices, including smaller smartphones.

7. Make Sure Your Site is Fast

Ever found yourself waiting thirty seconds for a webpage to load? Me neither. If your site takes forever to load, your bounce rate will be sky high. Make sure that your pages are as technically optimized as possible, including image file sizes, page structure and the functionality of third-party plugins. The faster your site loads, the better.

8. Get Active on Social Media

It’s not enough to just share content through social channels – you need to actively participate in the community, too. Got a Twitter account? Then join in group discussions with relevant hashtags. Is your audience leaving comments on your Facebook posts? Answer questions and engage with your readers. Nothing turns people off quicker than using social media as a broadcast channel – use social media as it was intended and actually interact with your fans.

9. Research the Competition

If you haven’t used software like BuzzSumo to check out what your competitors are up to, you’re at a huge disadvantage. These services aggregate the social performance of specific sites and content to provide you with an at-a-glance view of what topics are resonating with readers and, most importantly, making the rounds on social media. Find out what people are reading (and talking about), and emulate that kind of content to bring traffic to your website.

10. Attend Conferences

Whatever industry you’re in, chances are there are at least one or two major conventions and conferences that are relevant to your business. Attending these events is a good idea – speaking at them is even better. Even a halfway decent speaking engagement is an excellent way to establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry and gain significant exposure for your site.

1. Live chat support

With multiple products and service offerings, customers can feel overwhelmed and confused, and have questions that need to be answered instantly. They look for accurate and prompt responses. By introducing live chat support on your ecommerce website, you’ll see customer satisfaction increase while enhancing your brand image and trust. Customers prefer to buy from sites that offer this feature. It’s one of the best ways to quickly increase your conversion rate.

You must make sure your customer representatives or live chat agents are proactive. Ensure that they do not keep the customers waiting for a long time, or else they will get irritated and lose interest in making the purchase. At times customers are shy to start a conversation. In such cases they need to observe the customer behavior on the website and proactively start a conversation and make them feel comfortable, gradually guiding them to make their purchase.

2. Shopping cart reminder

According to statistics, the global cart abandonment rate in 2018 was 75.52%. Every engaged customer is not a guaranteed buyer. It is difficult to reduce the cart abandonments; therefore, you need to understand why they did it. There are various reasons customers abandoned the cart – such as unexpected costs, better price on another site, asking for compulsory sign up, complicated checkout process, expensive shipping, lack of payment options, lack of return policy and security concerns.

The solution for this issue is to send shopping cart recovery emails to the customers. Emails sent within three hours of cart abandonment, will get a 40% open rate and a 20% click through rate. At least 10.7% of customers who receive the email, return to make a purchase. You need to implement different personalized strategies while sending these emails, it will definitely improve conversions and sales.

Hi everyone in the KG1 F class

This Thursday mrs mac cormack send me to a weekend advature with Alireza Irtesam, he is such a great loving calm boy that I was so happy to have lots of enjoyment this weekend.

Alireza has a lovely twin brother in the next class , so before her mom coming to pick up us I met with Muhammadreza who was also so excited to see me going to their home.

When Alireza’s mom came so both of them happily showed me to her & she greeted me warmly & we drove to home to start our journey

So there in home after Alireza’s dad came home & he welcomed us then we had a delisoius  iranian home made food  Lobia Polo(grean beans with minced meat cooked as souace & serve on rice) , there was vegtable salad also to be sure we took enough amont of vitamins, we were all happy that we take carrot & bellpaper in our food to grow healthy….

After diiner was sleeping time to be fresh for early morning.

3. Detailed product descriptions

There are numerous ecommerce sites out there where product information is not provided at all. Customers can’t touch the product nor ask questions, like they can in brick-and-mortar. Therefore, you need to make sure you describe the products in detail. It should contain interesting and informative content that will make your customers interested in your product and will go ahead in making the purchase. Add a product video or demonstration for more impact. All these will definitely prevent returns and increase conversion rates.

You also need to focus on your SEO strategy. High website traffic is very important to boost ecommerce conversion rate. Therefore, SEO will enhance the traffic to your website as well as build your SEO ranking.

4. Customer reviews of products

Make it a point to add customer reviews of your products on the website. According to a study, around 61% of customers read the reviews before making the purchase. Online sales increase by 18% when customer reviews are showcased. You should also give your visitors the chance to leave their reviews. This surely boosts conversion and builds trust in the customer.
