Every website owner wants their website to be popular; some just might not admit to it! To
increase traffic to your website, I suggest the following to start with:

Unique content

Visitors and Search engines love unique content – nobody likes to read the same paragraphs over
and over. Your visitors will return to your website and search engines will rank your site high for
being unique.

Get linked

Getting linked is very important, the majority of your visitors will find your website through
links, whether they be on Google or a directory website. Our advice is to submit your website in
appropriate places – directories that are suited to your website. Search engines will find your
website automatically, so don’t waste your time submitting to them!

Keyword rich text

Most websites are set up to achieve a goal – whether it be to sell a product or service or to
promote something or someone. CJ Website Hosting recommends you think of a dozen keywords that you
would like people to search for (in search engines) to get to your website. Once you have the list,
try to put them within your website content – but keep the sentances making sense – search engines
will spot keyword spammers!

Link to relevant websites

Linking to websites can be as powerful as being linked. If you link to websites that are
relevant to your websites content – you will receive brownie points for doing so. Search engines
categorise your website depending on what you link to, for example, if you linked to several “home
made recipe” websites, search engines will guess that your website has something to do with home
made recipes.

Use heading tags and appropriate titles

Heading tags such as <h1>, <h2> etc.. are known to be vital HTML tags. Not only do
they tell visitors what your page is about, they also help search engines to categorise your site.
Same goes for the <title> tag. Make sure your title tag is short and to the point – including
a URL in your tag is a big no no

Other tips include; making your website standards compliant, minimilising the amount of HTML
code on your pages (by using div based layouts), utilising the alt and title attribute and using
URL rewriting techniques.

Get Minigal version 2 (MG2) here.

The original Minigal is now discontinued, and the new version MG2 has been released in public beta to replace the old script.

MG2 is the sequel to the popular image gallery script Minigal.

At the time MG2 development began, the original version had been downloaded more than 10.000 times.

One of the highlights of MG2 is, that it supports PHP running in safe mode which is unsupported by almost all other dynamic image gallery scripts on the web. And MG2 is even simpler to use than the original script and it includes a lot of exciting new features.

Enhanced Simple PHP Gallery

Simple PHP Gallery is a gallery management system designed to tackle small- to medium-size galleries with a minimum of hassle. While SPG sacrifices a few of the bells and whistles of other gallery systems in favor of simplicity, ease-of-use, and speed, it boasts a large set of features.

3 col layout with equalising columns and footer – any column can be the
longest. Footer will stay at bottom of window unless content is greater then it stays at bottom of document.

Only tested on PC (IE5, 5.5 , 6, Mozilla 1.2 , Firebird 0.6.1, Opera7,Netscape 6.2). Opera 6 doesn’t like the footer but it’s
usable.I expect mac and other browsers will fall over. (*Update* Mac Firebird and Mac Netscape 6 & 7 (OS9) look perfect in all cases.
Mac IE 5.1.7 & IE5.2.3 and Safari1.1.1 don’t like the footer and render it at bottom of the longest column. However the columns
works fine ane the effect is still usable. Thanks to a number of people for checking this out for me as I don’t have a mac to test
on.)

The left and right column colours are the background showing through. A different left column background colour can be achieved by using
a repeating image on the left side of the body as in this example.

There is nothing special about this demo as similar techniques have been used before, however they are not usually integrated into one
example. The secret to this demo is the left and right columns which are floated negatively from the centre container. If you float them
completely in the gaps at the side then they don’t clear the footer. However if you leave them overlapping the centre content by 1
pixel then the footer is pushed down as required. The difference can be made up with padding etc.
