There are three main issues to think about when selecting online security:

* Online Access – web hosts have ‘open’ systems to allow all of their clients to access and use the server technology efficiently, but this does make them vulnerable to malicious intent. Therefore you must ensure you select a web host that has firewalls, intrusion detection applications and also SSL, which allows you to exchange encrypted protected data and is essential for ecommerce businesses.

* Physical Access – the servers that web hosting companies use are based in secure locations to protect client information, so ensure that your web host company has adequate physical security to prevent intruders and onsite data theft, and also protection against natural disasters such as fire and flooding.

* Privacy – it is vital that you check the privacy policy of each web host before you sign up, to ensure that the private data you share with them is not passed on to third parties. Some companies will share basic private details such as names, email addresses and telephone numbers with other companies, so check each privacy policy carefully, otherwise you may start receiving unsolicited emails or telephone calls.

There are three main types of CMS systems currently in use:

• Enterprise content management systems (ECM) – this was created by AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) and is described as ‘the technologies used to Capture, Manage, Store, Preserve, and Deliver content and documents related to organizational processes’.
• Web content management systems (WCM) this is designed to simplify the publication process of website content, and allows authors and content creators to submit documents and graphics to a website, without the need for extensive technical knowledge of file uploading procedures or HTML creation.
• Component content management systems (CCM) – this system manages structured content such as XML, and allows content to be broken down and shared, reviewed, updated, or re-used into new publications.

There are various SEM search engine vendors, including Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing, which offer various services such as pay-per-click (PPC), cost per impression (CPI) and click-to-call advertising.

The SEM paid placement method is controversial, as it means that the results returned from some search engines may not always be the most relevant results available, because companies have paid to be included higher in the rankings.

This has led to various trade organizations, such as The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to publically state the need for search engines to disclose all paid placements on search engines results. This is so that the user can determine for themselves which results have been returned because they are relevant to the initial search, and which ones have been included because of paid marketing strategies.

There are 2 main areas which can improve your SEO best practice strategy:

• Content – to attract new and repeat visitors you will have to have some interesting and fresh content on your website that your visitors will want to read and also tell their friends about. To make articles easier to read try to write in a friendly, conversational way and keep it short and to the point so people don’t get bored. Update content at least twice a week to keep things fresh and new.
• Navigation – make sure your website is easy to navigate through, and that your menus are well structured and link to the correct pages. If your website is cluttered and disorganized visitors will soon get fed up and move on. It is also helpful to have a keyword search function, so that visitors can search the site internally to find what they want quickly and efficiently.
