As part of a new monthly feature, I’m going to start finding cool new sites on the internet that would be useful for webmasters like you! I’m going to try to stick to new websites that I really find useful and that could use the bump in publicity to get them started.

For February’s feature I found a brand new site offering quality photoshop tutorials, php tutorials, SEO help, and free tips on developing a successful websites. Their alexa chart says it all:

Check out the site and I wish them the best of luck! It’s one of the nicer and cleaner tutorial sites I have seen in a while. I would expect the ranking on that chart to continue to grow; They are already top 50k (weekly average) and have only been around for 1 month!

You heard right! After almost a decade, we have finally launched a new site! (Well, if you don’t count this blog, and the webmaster forum that was spun-off from t35 a few months ago).

With all of my experience in the web hosting industry (specifically FREE web hosting), the new free hosting directory makes a lot of sense. During the last decade I went from being in the shoes of a customer looking for hosting, to developing and operating one of the biggest free web hosts around. During that process I have been able to compile a great amount of knowledge about the hundreds of other web hosts and their features.

The newly launched http://www.FreeHostingDirectory.com contains detailed information on almost all of the free hosts out there. In addition, all the hosts are broken up in distinct categories to help you quickly find what you are looking for (ie: PHP Hosting, MySQL Hosting, etc…).

Each category lists the web hosts based on a 10-star feature rating that helps you identify the host providing the best services for your needs. In fact, we have setup a system where visitors can even rate and review each web host to help others in their search for the perfect free web host.

Although we have not yet finished our expected 400+ database of web hosts, you are more than welcome to get a sneak peek and check out the site: http://www.FreeHostingDirectory.com.

In addition to the hosts that will be added, we also plan to add a resource and faq section that will help visitors with terminology as well as useful guides to help them get started building their site.

I ask that all of our blog readers help us welcome this new site by visiting the url and checking out some of the free web hosts. If you have used any of the hosts before, help us out and leave a review!

With all the changes going on with the google algorithm I decided to find out if link exchanges still greatly impacted search engine rankings. As you can probably guess the main keyword we target for this blog is ‘web hosting blog’. When this site was just launched, it received a lot of attention (and a lot of links) which quickly propelled us to the top spots for our keywords. Since then, most of the attention has dwindled down and we now barely crack the top 30 for the same keywords.

In an experiment to try to validate the importance of link exchanges, I am going to try to get several other established sites (PR3 and above) to link us with the keyword ‘web hosting blog’. Although I’ll check back in with the results, everyone should be able to monitor the progress of this test by simply seeing how well we are moving up in the rankings for ‘web hosting blog’.

My gut feeling is that although most people have disreguarded link exchanges in recent months (since google started penalizing for the practice), it is still perhaps the best way to get better rankings from the search engines.
