To serve high-traffic web sites, you will have to contend with the demand that high traffic puts on your server’s internal resources. Be sure that the general demand on your server is met by sufficient processor power and memory resources.

There can be more dependencies than what follows for publishing your WordPress site, however these are the ones that WordPress requires by default.

Have you wondered whether WordPress can handle high-volume traffic? Think of creating a high-traffic site or generating volumes of writing? Think that something you write might get enough attention to get “slashdotted” or dugg by digg, or some other high-traffic-generating site. Wonder if WordPress can handle the sheer volume of traffic or fail. Can WordPress handle all these situations?

The simple answer is “Yes,” but this is a conditional yes. There is a lot you need to consider and understand before you decide on WordPress as your publishing platform, and if you expect high traffic volumes. Running WordPress on basic shared hosting will not be sufficient for truly high-traffic sites.

Before selecting WordPress for your high-traffic site, you will need to check the following to ensure your site is ready for the anticipated traffic: The site server and it’s software, upon which WordPress is dependent, needs to be sufficient for the traffic you anticipate and expect.

Creative, Inspiring, Thoughtful and Cool

You have to check out these two online websites that perhaps you have never heard of… I stumbled these sites while surfing online for a possible holiday gifts for my friends and family.

* Branchhome  -  www.branchhome.com

This co-founders of this earth friendly “sustainable design for living” website was co-founded by Paul Donald and Tracy Brien. Paul spent 12 years in graphic design and magazine publishing - he helped create Spy, Wired, The Industry Standard and Sunset (check them out when you get a chance). Tracy has “extensive knowledge of environmental issues and sustainable, small-scale community development” - she has worked for such organizations as Greenpeace, the International Rivers Network, and International Development Exchange.

In this case mixing design and environmentalism results in a web design that not only inspires us but also offers cool, thoughtful and wholly appealing product on every level. I highly recommend reading their What is Branch? section - think paradigm shift for shopping.

* Blurb  - www.blurb.com.

Blub.com is the other site which I think is the “bee’s-knee’s” and brings personalization and creativity to a new level. The website is a genius idea that is capturing every bit of of the perosnalization trend - similar to the US Postal service or www.stamps.com perosnalization service which allows you to customize stamps with your own pictures. Blurb.com is the ulitmate in capturing the current personalization trend: It gives the everyday person the ability to make a linen bound, proefessional-qaulity book for next to nothing.

“Blurb is a company and a community that believes passionately in the joy of books – reading them, making them, sharing them, and selling them.”

Creating your own book is simple - download their free software, import your pics and images, design your ideal layout and creat a masterpiece. The end product is a professionally designed (by you) book that has the same quality as anything you would pull off the shelves of Borders, Barns & Noble or other bookstores.

Ok, so this post was a little off the beaten path - but it is shopping season and also the web design and creativity of both sites is very inspiring.

Whether you purchase a separate domain (recommended) for your blog, or host it on a blogging service or a subdomain of your own site, try to ensure that your URL contains the primary keyword you want to optimize for.

For example, if you want your blog to get found for the keyword “rss” get a domain with the keyword “rss”, or use the keyword in a subdomain as in

Getting a domain name with your own name might make for good branding, especially if yours is a personal blog.

But if you’re doing it for business and want the targeted traffic to flow your way, keywords in the domain or subdomain are a move in the right direction.
