No doubt Airtel has the muscle power to advertise and sell its services as it already has the infrastructure setup but this is one field in which you do not need much infra and the barrier to entry is not a problem.

Anyways we will see how Airtel fairs in the coming time, till then if you are still interested in buying Airtel site builder and hosting service, I would sugges you read this comparision between Airtel Site Builder Hosting and Professional Hosting

Both companies have listed comparison between the two on their websites but they differ significantly, I would recommend you go through before making your final selection. Market theme is not free. It cost $55 for the standard license.

There is one thing which I liked about Market Theme, the way they let you add a product and checkout immediately without having to fill out forms etc. The 1 click checkout helps increase sales as most of the time you would loose a customer by asking them to fill out forms or create logins.

Market Theme is placing themselves as not just a plugin but an entire ecommerce packaged theme.

Joomla CMS is a multi functional Open Source application for creating websites. It is free to use and has a great community support.

SiteGround has been supporting and hosting Joomla sites from the very start of Joomla! back in 2005. Through the years we have proven to be the best Joomla host, providing features such as free Joomla installation, Joomla-optimized servers, hundreds of free templates, fast and efficient support. The tutorial below is based on the experience we have gathered with Joomla through the years.

There are two ways to install Joomla on your SiteGround hosting account. The easiest and preferred method is through the Fantastico tool in your cPanel. It requires no technical skills and your Joomla website will be set after just few clicks.

On the other hand you can install Joomla manually. This method is preferred by advanced users who want to follow closely the installation process and make any customizations right away.If you feel comfortable with FTP, and have basic understanding of file permissions, databases and web technologies as a whole, you can install Joomla manually.

1. Very easy to install
2. Simple to work around
3. Easily Customizable
4. Multiple Operators
5. Multiple Departments setup
6. Limited Sub-Admin logins.
7. Should be FREE

The above features are usually easy to find in almost all the live chat software out there but not all of them come free! In fact most of the software would charge you a minimum of $19 a month for just 1 operator.

That’s when I stumbled upon Crafty Syntax which is available for automatic install on most cpanel’s under Fantastico. I will admit that at first, I was a bit skeptic to try it out as their website was quite dull and I was used to seeing those flashy websites of other paid chat software provider but then I decided to give it a try as it was free and I would not have to take any pain in installing it.

I must admit that I was wrong, though the software lacks the flashy graphics it is very well laid out and is very easy to understand even without reading any help document. My clients online store was a statup and so they did not have any dedicated support person to be on chat all the time. They wanted to make the chat button invisible on the user end so that they can passively monitor who is online and only they could initiate the chat. This way the user never sees the “Chat Support Offline” button which looks bad when your customer is looking for live help and no one is there to provide it. This was very easily accomplished by Crafty, there was a setting in the admin to make the button invisible.

Another thing my client was adamant about was the interface of the chat window. They wanted that the support window should look like a part of the website and not like we were using a free software. This was quite easy to do as well… I downloaded a graphic file which was used as the header of the chat window and created our custom header with PhotoShop and replaced it. That simple!

The Admin section of the software is web based, which means that it can be operated from any computer with a internet connection, though I think the desktop version is in the making. There are lot more features which you can explore, check out some of the Live Help Screen Shots.

The above is just a basic of what this software can do, I have to give a shout out to Eric Gerdes who is the brain behind it and has kept the software free… If you do use the software and find it useful, I would urge you to donate some money to Eric as a way of thanking him for the hard work.

How does PPC Bully work?

Well… PPC Bully does not bully your competition to get their campaign information out. In fact your competition does not even know if their campaign is being monitored. PPC Bully gathers all the information about your keyword trends by searching for those keywords and then crawling the related adwords ads on the sidebar of google search and then saving in on its database for you to review.

It takes up to 7 days to gather data, the more days you let it work the better the overall results will be. PPC Bully works on a simple principle while calculating the profitability of a keyword and the importance of an ad. copy. The longer an ad. is displayed the more profitable it would be. Simply put, if I know my ad. copy is working wonders for me and is selling the product / service the more it will used adwords and vice versa.

Where does the word BULLY fit in?

Any normal project which you create, PPC Bully will gather data once a day for the set of keywords you have added to the project. However if you press the button called “Bully” the ping will be sent our 24 times a day, thus gathering more data which would result in detailed statistics.

Is PPC Bully worth $49 / Month?

Even if you are spending a couple hundred dollars a month, then I would suggest you use this service. It will make sure that your money results in a better sale. For people who outsource their PPC needs to adwords consultants, can now do this on their own, saving them a lot of time & money which in turn can be put in adwords.

They have a 60 Day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to loose! Why not try it out?
