If you’re a website owner, it is very important that your website along with all the pages in it is able to load extremely fast. Not only because your users have an attention span of 0 seconds before they leave your website, but more so to make it easier for the search engine spiders to crawl in there and take the data they need which in return, generates good traffic to your website.
There are two approachable ways of generating online traffic to your website. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Online Marketing. SEO is cost effective and requires more efforts where as online marketing involves less effort and more expenses.
Web 2.0 is the web standard used today. Unlike the first version, Web 2.0 allows us to interact with other users of the Internet. Instead of only retrieving information provided by the administrator of a website, we can communicate with others. As opposed to the Internet being a one-way resource for the users, the Internet became a mere tool for users to communicate with each other. With it came the birth of social networking sites (facebook, MySpace, linked-in, etc.), social bookmarking sites (dig, delicious, etc.) and social shopping sites (kaboodle.com, thisnext.com, etc.).
