Although we take a backup for you each week (on Sunday), we only keep that backup for one week. If we maintain your website then we always have a current backup.
Free Website Statistics
 Each e-Service web hosting account includes two free web traffic statistics tools. They are both already setup and already measuring your traffic, including how people find you and what pages they visit the most.To see your stats, log into your cpanel (see above). On the top right side under ‘Analysis and Log Files’ you can click on either Webalizer or Awstats and then the magnifying glass. From there you can do a lot of scrolling and clicking to learn what phrases people use in Google to find you, what countries they’re from, and even how long they stay on each page. |
Visit Your Control Panel – Free with every hosting account
Every website we host comes with a FREE control panel that allows you to backup data, setup new email accounts, change passwords and view web traffic statistics.
We encourage you to sign into your control panel now to make sure you know how. The address is your control panel will be your website address followed by /cpanel. For your ID and password, please email us at info@gorgeservice.
Future articles in this newsletter will talk about signing in to your cpanel account to accomplish a task. Practice now and you’ll be ready!

Search Engine Placement Tip – Links
If you’d like to improve your ranking in the major search engines, such as Google or Yahoo, it’s important that you have some quality links from other websites. It’s best if the other website is popular (receives a lot of traffic), is relevant to your website (related industry or interests) and is a site that also has a lot of content (instead of just a collection of links to other sites).
Let’s walk through an example. If I have a website selling kites in the gorge, I might want to convince these websites to link to mine:
- Kite Fan Sites
- Local Chambers of Commerce
- Regional portals and search engines, such as GorgeSearch.com or a2zgorge.info.
- Material Suppliers
- You Tube (put a video of your kites in action)
- Facebook and other social networking sites
- Other local outdoor sport sites
There are many others. Feel free to comment on this post with your suggestions.
e-Service is a web design and development firm located in The Dalles, Oregon.
