1. Domain Registration (E.G. mydomainname.com)
2. Choosing a hosting server
3. Installing with WordPress

To perform these 3 steps, you are in need of some basic requirements.

Requirements to build a WordPress website:

1. Internet
2. Credit Card

If are good with the requirements then you can start the procedure. Now, let us start working with the first step.

1.       Domain Registration:

The very first step to build a WordPress blog is Domain Registration. I usually register domains at Godaddy.

Soon after you are done with payment then you have successfully done with the first step.

2.       Choosing a hosting server:

Choosing hosting company is also one of the important steps. There are many hosting companies available but you have to choose the best. I prefer hostgator because of the services they are providing. You can get assistance related anything on the server from the 24X7 support team.

Choose the suitable plan for you, as you are using hostgator for parking your domain you get unlimited space and bandwidth so that you can host as many sites as you want. Go for baby plan so that you can skip the 1^st step as hostgator giving you unlimited domain registrations. If you can wait till black Friday then you will get 50% discount most probably. Soon after you are done with payment then you have successfully done with the second step.

3.       Installing with WordPress:

Final step before start posting on your blog is installing with WordPress. You have to login to your control panel (Cpanel) of hostgator. After the payment you will receive an E-mail with username, password and name servers.

Here, you are in need of those two name servers.

Step1:

Login to godaddy and open myaccount then go to settings to edit name servers. Change the 2 name servers to your name servers got on the E-mail.

Step2:

Login to hostgator control panel by accessing link from E-mail what you got with server details. Now, select Addon domains under domains category and fill details.

Give your domain name what you registered and next 2 fields will fill automatically then give a password.

Step3:

Once you done with that come back to your Cpanel home page and select “Fantastico De Luxe” under “Software/services” section. There are many medium of site installations like blogs, db etc. Choose “WordPress” then click “New Installation”

Step4:

From the dropdown select your domain name and leave the next field empty. Give “admin access data” details. You can fill “Base Configuration” and hit “Install WordPress” then your blog is ready to use.

To login use http://www.yourdomainname.com/wp-admin/

Note:

• After changing Domain Name servers, it may take 0-2 hours to reflect the change. Do not get panic if you immediately don’t see the WordPress dashboard.

Before going for detailed explanation, let us see the key features of Nokia Lumia 308.

Key Features of Nokia Asha 308:

• 3-inch screen
• Dual sim
• 2MP camera with video recording support
• EDGE
• Expandable memory up to 32GB

Look & Feel:

Do not expect much with Nokia Asha 308 especially looks wise. This phone resembles the previous versions of Nokia Asha 305 and the later version Nokia Asha 310. But still 3-inch screen display is looking good.

Touch & Feel:

Well! To be frank I didn’t actually expected the best touch experience but still it is far better than the Nokia Asha other models. As Nokia Asha 308 is built with super sensitive touch, you can expect decent touch experience.

Camera:

Nokia Asha 308 is equipped with 2MP primary camera which is very decent. I have captured a couple of images under electric lights and day light as well. The captured images are very good and you can’t expect anything much for a 2MP mobile. And of course there is no flash or secondary camera. You can also record videos.

Music:

This is the best feature in the Nokia Asha 308 but the ear phones are a bit lousy.

Internet Connectivity:

All the Asha mobiles are especially built for faster internet. Nokia Asha 308 supports EDGE connectivity which is very decent internet connectivity for a basic mobile. Pre-installed Facebook app, allows you to access Facebook any time.

Value for Money:

This is where my answer stops, value for money. Other branded mobiles are offering more features for almost same price where as Nokia Asha 308 is slightly priced high, I feel.

Pros:

• Dual sim
• Better camera quality
• Better touch experience
• Better looks
• Faster internet

Cons:

• Priced high
• Sometime hangs while playing games

I am not saying to buy Nokia Asha 308 but consider in your list if you are planning to buy a mobile around Rs 5,000 with dual sim.  

With the mobile:

With the purchase of Nokia Asha 308, you get a 3-pin charger and a headset.

Google’s view on buying backlinks

The most dominant search engine in the world, Google has clearly stated that buying backlinks with purpose of improving rankings in its search algorithm is a breach. In another way it can be understood as ‘if Google identifies your backlinks as those that are bought to beat its ranking algorithms by increasing website traffic, it would penalize your website by ranking it much lower and even stop featuring your website in search results’. With around 70% market share, if that happens to a website, it is bound to be doomed in most cases.

How search engine weighs backlinks

Search engines evaluate backlinks on certain parameters. For example, complementarities in the offerings of the website that contains the backlink and the website that it redirects to. Backlinks are also evaluated on basis of small descriptions that is shown below the backlink explaining the purpose of the website. For example, a website selling shoes cannot be a safe choice for buying a backlink to an online lottery website. Such associations can easily be picked up by the complex algorithms of search providers as traffic generators.

Focus on quality

However, buying backlinks intelligently can make a positive impact to your business. But for this to happen, one should concentrate on quality of purchase rather than going on a backlink buying spree on every other website. Websites that enjoy higher ranks in search results and have a business line that is not competitive but quite related or complementary to yourscould be worth contacting for a backlink purchase.Such backlinks which make genuine business sense are not penalized by search engines. For an apparel e-retailing website containing a footwear e-retailer’s backlink makes pure business sense.

Effects of buying backlinks

The bottom-line is that buying backlinks can have both good and bad effects on your business. The outcome rests on the approach to buying that you adopt. The best way is to not get carried away by short term desires of getting heavy traffic to your webpage by linking it to the universe and concentrate on few quality websites. The haphazard way of shopping for backlinks might work in the short run and make you feel elated for a while, but in the longer run it would adversely affect your business.

Conclusion

Businesses are for years together and not just a few months or years. An online reputation in this internet age is as important as offline or public image. Depending on the line of business online reputation could even mean more than offline. The only right way therefore to deal with backlinks is to use them judiciously. It’s a tool that can make as well as break your business online. The key is to invest in buying quality backlinks and not being drowned in the greed of getting large number of visitors quickly.
