Redirect Checker
An odd thing, in the years I have been making sites and doing affiliate marketing I have never done much with redirects, preferring to use tools to create masked links etc.
Anyway, I needed to move away from the domain that carried my training site in its testbed form to its new home. This needed a redirect. I chose to use a .htaccess 301 redirect to take all visitors to the old site to the index page of the new site. I also needed to tell the search engines that this was a permanent change, hence the 301 redirect.
The code to make the change is dead easy, just put the following into your .htaccess file in the old site:
Code:
Redirect 301 / How to make redirects.I needed to check that the header information (invisible information sent to the visitors browser and to search engines) was correct so I needed a tool to confirm this for me.
A neat redirect checker It handles HTML and .htaccess redirects but not JavaScript redirects.Given the problems that can ensue if one gets the redirect wrong it is worth checking and confirming that the job is done right.

Writing articles is a great way to help market on the Internet. It doesn’t take a lot of time and it’s completely free. If the proper keywords are targeted then the article will get a lot of views and this will result in traffic for the person doing the article marketing. There are many great places to submit an article on the Internet. Here are the 10 best article submission sites.
Before we get to the top 10 article submission sites, let’s take a quick look at how article writing works with Internet Marketing.
There are three main parts to writing and submitting any article online. The first part involves choosing the keywords you want to target and then researching the article. The next part involves actually writing the article. The third part is submitting the article along with a call to action.
So you want to decide on the keyword phrase you want to target for an article. This will dictate what the article will be about. Once you’re ready, then you need to write the article being sure to include the keyword phrase in the title, the introduction, the conclusion, and a couple times throughout the body of the article. Then when you’re done writing the article you will submit it to one or more article submission sites.
Here are the 10 best article submission sites:
EzineArticles
Article Dashboard
Go Articles
Articles Base
Article City
Article Mark
Article Alley
iSnare
Search Warp
Idea Marketers
Not all of these sites are the same (EzineArticles is the best).
Some of them are better than others, and all of them have their own set of rules that must be followed. So make sure you know the rules before submitting or you’ll waste a lot of time and energy submitting articles only to have to rewrite them because they got rejected by the site.
For example, some of these sites allow you to include links in the article while others don’t. Some of these sites will let you have affiliate links with your articles while other sites won’t. So again, make sure you know what is and isn’t allowed on each site.
When you write an article online for the purpose of article marketing then you’ll have to submit that article to one or more article submission sites. Above you have the 10 best article submission sites. Take advantage of all these sites and you will certainly have success with article marketing.
