Welcome! It’s been a long time in coming but I’ve finally launched my very own blog, JeffKlein.com.
I’ve been designing websites for clients since 1997 and working with WordPress for the past two years. During that time I began thinking about starting my own blog. After securing the domain name, designing the site, and writing some initial content, I am finally ready to launch the site.
I am very excited about this new project. I appreciate your time and will do my best to provide you with valuable insights into my online endeavors. My areas of knowledge include web design and usability, affiliate marketing, and search engine optimization.
The power of blogs is the interactivity they provide. Please join the conversation and let me know your thoughts and ideas. Thank you in advance for your readership.

Most Webmasters understand the importance of backlinks for a website’s search engine rankings. Unlike on-page search engine optimization (SEO) where you have direct control to implement changes, building backlinks to your site requires the involvement of others outside your organization.

A domain name is a memorable web address for a particular site that can help people find you online (example: www.amazon.com or www.microsoft.com). Similar to your home’s address, a domain name is your website’s address.
You do not have to be a company or organization to register a domain name. Any individual can do so.
A domain name consists of two parts. In the case of google.com:
- The first part, google, is a unique name reflecting the web site.
- The second part, .com, is the extension, which often describes the website category. “.com” for example stands for “commercial.”
- .com, .net, .org are the most popular extensions in the United States. Many others are available however including .biz, .info, .name, and .pro.
- “http://” and “www” are not part of the domain name.
You might choose a domain name based on your own name, the name of your company, keywords that describe your business, even a short phrase— anything that will make your web address easy to remember.
