SEO submission and ranking question

danny boy · 08-06-2004, 06:10 AM

hello everybody...

i am making a herb shop website as a test. the thing is that i have taken a free hosting (cant spend money on hat at the moment) and i have used a dot tk free domain too since they offer domain name free re-direction to the hosting server...

so my hosting url is something like: http://abaco.ya.com/herb
and my domain url is www.herboristeria.tk

right, my question is, which url i should submit to search engine? the first one or the other??

You need to get people to link to the actual hosting URL.

If you're serious about business, then you really need to spend the few dollars required for a domain name and hosting.

yes, brian, i know. but this is only a test. my sister has a herb shop, im just testing if getting her job online is a good idea or not. wanna see if some of her current clients would order online...

thanks

If your just testing for your current clients, then why try and get on the SEs.. If your going to actually spend time building the site, etc.. you definitly should pay for hosting, you can get cheap hosting for like 4 bucks a month at some places.. which will be far better then free hosting for many reasons.

Free hosting can have certain limitations that paid hosting doesn't have - and you can have much more fredom on paid hosting, too.

For example, you can pay $5/month for shared hosting with CPanel Fantastico - a really using administration panel for your website. It includes such useful features as one-click installation of Open Source Commerce (OSC), phpbb forums, blogs, etc.

While the suggestion may seem initially pedantic, the actual intention is good-willed. In short, recommend you spread your wings, even for a test.

It is almost certain that if you are running a test to see if you can sell via a website you must get a real domain or you will fail.

The buyer is nervous from the moment they visit a new site and to be taken serious you need to look bigger than life.

Remember they are always just a click away from your competitor.
