What is Website?

To be very precise a website is described as a file. It is a file which contains a collection of different files only of the www or the World Wide Web nature. These files are uploaded on the web, which makes it a particular website with an address so that it can be accessed by everyone. The first of the files in the collection of these www files is known ad the homepage.

To be able to visit a specific website, its particular address is required so that it can be entered on the internet. The given address is actually of the first file or the homepage of the website, through which all other files and information can be accessed with the links provided.

Sometimes a standard default name is set up by the company for its website and that is when we do not nee to type the whole of the file address and only the default name links to the website source. For example the MSN Company has the site www.msn.com . A website can contain either a single page or thousands of various different pages branching from the homepage.

There is another term used for the website, which is the "Web presence" This term seems to be much more synonymous with the actual meaning of a website, because it does not imply any geographical localization of the file, however it is used less frequently than the most common word Website.

We can add the cross links of different websites on our own homepage so as to share the information in each other's Websites.

 What is Networking?

Networking is the word basically relating to computers and their connectivity. It is very often used in the world of computers and their use in different connections. The term networking implies the link between two or more computers and their devices, with the soul purpose of sharing the data stored in the computers, with each other. The networks between the computing devices are very common these days due to the launch of various hardware and computer software which aid in making the activity much more convenient to build and use.

Computer networking is then categorized into several different areas and uses, such as the most common ones like LAN and WAN.

Computer networking is also based on different network designs. The two basic classification categories of the network design are the client-server and peer-to-peer. The client-server networking refers to the computer servers that are centralized, which are mainly used in storing emails, web pages, files and applications. The peer-to-peer network is the most commonly used and all the computers mainly support its functions. The Client server is used extensively in the business functions, whereas the peer-to-peer server is for home use.

Every network requires a topology to work through which the data flows and the computers can communicate with each other. The most common types of topologies are bus, star, ring, and mesh.

Networking also involves a special communication language used by the computer devices. These languages are called network protocols, and most of the computers use a range of protocols which they support. The most common network in the Internet and home networks is the TCP/IP.

Networking can be either wired or wireless. The most common wired networks like Ethernet cables were extensively used but now wireless networking have emerged and the new computer networks mainly support this feature.

What is Unique Content?

Unique content is used when you create a website or when you purchase one. Unique content is basically something that is original and never has been used before. There are way too many sites on the web that has the same exact information, we are not talking about the same subjects but the same content word for word. There are sites that strictly base their content on what information they copied and pasted from Wikipedia. There is nothing wrong with using online research tools like Wikipedia but there are some sites that flat out plagiarize and that is a form of cheating.

There are other site developers who may not write the content themselves and they don’t have to for it to be considered unique. Some people accuse others of not be original because they hired someone to write the articles. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as the content has not been used any place else on the web. Others work so hard writing and writing and trying to keep their content unique and fresh and then you have those other people who copy and paste from other sites and think it is ok.

There are two tools that you can use to check to see if any content you have purchased has been copied, one tool is called Copyscape and the other is webconfs.com. Copy and paste the content you want to check in the space provided as well as the URL on the top of the page and if the content is unique then it will say found zero matches and if there is a hit, it will show you where the information has been copied from.

If you are writing your own articles or content, it is also a good idea to check your work through these tools. Sometimes you may not even know it but you use a phrase or a sentence explaining something and the copyscape will flag it. Once you check your work , if anything has popped up you can fix it. You want your site to stand out because of the originality of it all. You don’t want more than 5 words to come out of Copyscape.

There are going to be some instances where you cannot help it, let’s say you are writing an biography and this person has won some sort of awards. You want to include these awards in your articles and you push the article through copyscape, the names of the awards are going to kick back because you used the exact name of the award. In these types of cases it is ok because it is something that cannot be avoided.

Even when someone hires you to write that type of article or an article on a country and you use landmarks or the names of historical places, these are going to kick back from copyscape but as we said before that is ok. If you write a 600 word article and 5 places come back from copyscape, it will not make a difference. You want to avoid your article looking like a rainbow. The copyscape site will not only show the user where you got the information but in your article it will highlight in different colors the words that are kicking back.

That is why it is very important to run the articles whether you have written them or if you purchased them from someone else who said they could write. The life of your website depends on it, it will either make or break your results in the search engines.
