(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Giving its customers more of a chance to complete with the more than 200 million websites in existence, domain registrar web host Go Daddy (www.godaddy.com) has released "Search Engine Visibility," a new search engine optimization tool that walks users through a step-by-step process to make their website search engine friendly, not only making a search engine more likely to index the entire site, but also to help the website rise in search engine rankings.
According to Go Daddy's Wednesday announcement, Search Engine Visibility walks users through a process to optimize their site by defining keywords, analyzing content and tracking keyword performance. Search Engine Visibility also provides a "Top 10 SEO Checklist," which helps identify commonly made mistakes and techniques on how make a website stronger.
"Lots of our customers want to know how to rank higher in Internet search engines,'" Go Daddy chief executive officer and founder Bob Parsons said in a statement. "So we created Search Engine Visibility. This tool gives you real tactics and sound advice about search engine optimization - without having to pay big bucks."
Search Engine Visibility also provides a video tutorial and other educational materials, as well as telephone customer support, to help users better understand the SEO process. Once a website is optimized, users can submit their website to the most commonly used search engines on the Internet.
An SEO study released late last year by web hosting provider Fasthosts (www.fasthosts.co.uk) found that 71 percent of UK web users are unaware of how Internet search engine results are compiled, showing widespread misconceptions of how online search results are determined.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered.
