Do you remember the first time you heard the term “keyword”? I do. I was sitting in a meeting with some other web developers and they were discussing ways to get more people to their sites. Prior that that, I had always just bombarded search engines with repeated requests to list my site, and any people who found me simply found me by accident. I didn’t know that there was an intentional way of producing traffic.

The first way many web developers used keywords was to hide them in the HTML code itself. The visitor to the site couldn’t see it, but the search engines could. Many people still do that today and it does work, but not that well. As technology changed, a product known as a keywords analyzer was developed. This piece of software determined which keywords were popular for people who were looking for products or services such as yours. You told the software what it was that you sold, and it gave you keywords to put in your site.

Now, I spent many, many years online doing this type of work manually before finding a product called Keyword Elite. This is a keywords analyzer that created almost instantaneous revenue for my sites. I really didn’t know quite how inept I had been prior to using this product, but the immediate results proved it.

Within days of running this keywords analyzer, I noticed my traffic increasing. More than that, though, the traffic I was getting was of a higher quality. In other words, the traffic that came to my site was interested in what I was selling, and a higher percentage of them were buying. So, more traffic and better traffic equals higher sales and bigger checks for me. If you are going to continue trying to do business online, do not overlook the importance of a keywords analyzer!

A php file manager works quite well with FTP connections. However, you should bear in mind that if you fail to arrange an FTP connection in your configuration, then the php file manager would be using the local file system. If that happens then you will be able to access only the directories as well as files for which the PHP has read permission, at least. If you wish to upload, rename edit, or delete certain files, or change the file permissions then PHP will also have the write permission for the same files or directories.
