To use my computer for internet, I need speed.

To use my computer for internet, I need a computer with speed, and my laptop has got to the point of no return, in fact if it went any slower it would go backwards. My Mum's old 16 color IBM computer goes 10 times faster.

For two years I worked with my trusty laptop, handy to cart around and light enough to take anywhere, but! As the months went by it got slower and slower, no cleaning or defraging would get it to go any faster, even spider solitaire slowed right down to a click--click --click, so sad. Mind you I have had it working day and night for the last two years.

Yesterday I picked up my new PC, turned it on after carefully reading every instruction as I got it out of the box. Whamo! it came to life in seconds, loaded a few programs, Wizz bang! and it was done. It has 2Gb of ram, a 500 Gb of storage I haven't got used to Vista yet, but I had the internet going in no time, my portable hard drive that I used with the laptop works wonderfully and last night my younger son, his girlfriend and I watched "Iceage" in brilliant color on the wide screen monitor. I have access to my websites again!

With any new computer, now comes the hard work of setting up the computer, of course I'll set it up better than the laptop and planning which programs to keep and which to discard is hard. My compassion is websites and designing good sites takes a lot of background work, graphics, ebooks, video and audio, html, templates, banners, keyword research, article research, niche research, submitting, promoting and guess what, there is a program for every thing. How many printers do I have? Which digital camera had the good graphics program? Back up the old email for taxation purposes, and how do I transfer my email client list? What about my Skype contacts?

Luckily I saved all my program files on the portable hard drive and all I have to do is execute them all again, find passwords again, and o-oh! did I keep notes on every program in my "notes on sites" file? Working on the internet, whether for fun or business means keeping up with many many things and as you will find out too if you ever have to change computers it takes many programs and files to organize.

Lucky for me all my Web site membership sites, passwords and logins have been saved in a program I had built last year, just for that job. It can be saved and loaded over the freshly loaded program. When you have hundreds of sites and affiliate programs to watch you need such software. Just in case you were wondering, a copy will be available when my new site is released, just as soon as I can get this computer into action.

The laptop is not lost forever, it will have every program removed, especially internet security which uses a lot of energy and get a new tune up so I can use my computer as a simple notebook for library research or the family tree. As for the old IBM, there are a pair of little girls next door who may get a beginners computer for Christmas.

Enough talking, I have to use my computer to get my new website finished, I have been Googled all ready and now rank 7th for one keyword phrase, with no advertising or back links and I bet you all can't wait to learn more.

HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY and think of me working away using my computer to finish your new free information membership site for people who Work from Home. In fact anyone with a website or blog will find the information I am putting together for you very handy.

I use my computer to Bookmark my "Web Page" so the World knows it exists

I have modified my Web Page, it has good content and highly targeted keyword phrases, so now I use my computer to Bookmark my "Web Page" so the World knows it exists.

There are many Bookmarking Sites, but the one that comes highly recommended is Social Poster. Social Poster has 40 different sites on its list, and they make it easy for you to join, login and post links. You only have to put your information in once and the site fills in the details for every bookmarking site.

This may take a little time to set up, especially if you have a few pages you want posted, but consider your page will now be visable to all the users in that bookmarking site x40. If you add a email to friends link on your website as well, consider how quickly you will get visitors and links to your site and how quickly you will get indexed by the Search Engine.

I have Sarahsworkshop social posted, as well as my Plug-In Profit page and many of my affiliate sites as well.

Before I use my computer to Bookmark my "Web Page" so the World knows it existed I was getting no traffic at all to my website.

This is how I take an exiting site and use my computer to add tracking

Tracking your website to know how many visitors you are getting is most important, so this is how I take an exiting site and use my computer to add tracking.

First you will need your own Website, sales page or even a blog like this. If you don't have a website, I recommend you seriously sign-up for a Plug-In Profit site, you can modify it to suite your needs and it has all the training you need to get you started. Take a look at my SarahPlugInProfit site. I have many modifications in progress which you will be able to follow by clicking here regularly.

Second you will need to go to Google Analytics or a similar tracking site and sign-up for an account, add the website URL and you are given a code to add to the end of your webpage, just before the end tags. /body I use my computer to log in to the website WebePanel, using a separate tab, and select the page I want to track in the file manager and clicking on the edit articles icon. The page will open in a text editor. Go to the bottom of the page and just before the /body tag paste the code(the code is in < > tags). You can save the page and you simply go back to your Google Analytics page click the button to let them know you have placed the code. Within 24hours or less you will start to see results.

You can see how simple it was for me to use my computer to add a simple link to the webpage that will be a most important information tool.

I use my computer and Wordtracker to find the top keyword phrases

The most important thing when deciding on what to add to your website or blog is to have a phrase that is going to bring you traffic from the search engines. I use my computer to search for keyword phrases with traffic potential by using a program called Wordtracker. This free tool version will tell you how many people per day you may get to a site, for a given keyword.

Wordtracker is a great program, balanced with Google search to help you decide if a certain phrase is worth trying, or if you should expand into another refined niche.

I would suggest you give it a try.
