Http or Https? 
HTTP, or hypertext transfer protocol, is the way a Web server 
communicates with browsers like Internet Explorer® and 
Mozilla Firefox®ttp. HTTP lets visitors view a site and send 
information back to the Web server. 
HTTPS, hypertext transfer protocol secure, is HTTP through a 
secured connection. Communications through an HTTPS 
server are encrypted by a secure certificate known as an 
SSL. The encryption prevents third-parties from 
eavesdropping on communications to and from the server.

Keyword Searches 
• You want to research whether the words you 
use will generate traffic. These words can be 
either on a website or a blog. Currently, FB 
profiles do not effect keyword rank. 
• The best keyword search tool is the Google 
Keyword Tool, which accesses the Google 
search engines. You will need a Google 
adwords account to access the Tool.
SEO 
• Search Engine Optimization refers to the techniques 
you can use to get your website found on internet 
search engines. 
• Off page optimization and on page optimization are 
two primary techniques. 
• Off page optimization is link building, when you can 
get vendors, associations or affiliates to link to you. 
That gives you credibility in the eyes of the engines. 
• On page optimization uses the keywords found in 
the keyword search.
Google Analytics 
• Google Analytics is a way to track visitors to 
your site. 
• Google.com/Analytics 
• GA will also tell you where your traffic comes 
from – so you will know how and where to 
target your efforts in the future. 
• It will also tell you what on your website that 
has the most traffic – book download, about 
me, whatever.
