Domain Names27 Jul 2006 11:35 pm

The domain name registration process is not too difficult, but it can take some time (usually 24-72 hours) before your domain name “propagates” throughout the internet. I find that it normally takes less than 20 hours, so keep that time in mind.

“Propagation” is simply the fact that it takes a while for your site to become visible on the internet due to a process called DNS (domain name server) transfer and various databases that have to be updated.

Although the domain name registration process is fairly easy, there are a few things that you should be aware of:

Are you taking advantage of the powerful automation technology available on the Internet? Common Gateway Interface, better known as CGI, is one of the most widely used server applications on the Internet. This software resides on your server and automatically performs specified functions on your web site.

If you’ve been on the Internet for a while, you’ve probably seen many examples of CGI use and didn’t even realize it. Search Engines, Directories and Forums all use CGI scripts. Scripts can run everything from a form on your web site to an affiliate program. They can give you the power to completely automate your web site.

The very name CGI used to send chills up my spine. For years I put it in the ‘too-hard-basket’. But like most things in life, CGI is not as scary as it seems. If you have a cgi directory on your website and you know how to FTP files, chances are you can have a CGI script up and running in less than 20 minutes.

CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is not a programming language but a standard that allows visitors to interact with your website. CGI scripts can be written in a number of different languages but most are written in Perl (Practical Extraction and Reporting Language).

Google, being the leader in search engines till now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines. Most especially now that the company is public property, Google has became seriously quality conscious regarding the results it displays.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may even get you banned. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

For such a simple statement, this is one of the hardest things for people to do. It goes back to that damn survival instinct each of us is born with. If an animal draws attention to itself in the wild, it might soon find itself the main course of a larger animal’s next meal. That fear of being chewed up and spit out has survived all our millions of years of evolution and is alive and well in today’s business environment.
