Miva is a popular advertising and performance marketing company that has a  collection of websites, networks, and search sites that they offer people to advertiser to.  They bring together advertisers and publishers very similar to how Google uses their Adsense and Adwords products.

Webhostingpad Miva credit

Miva is providing Webhostingpad customers the opportunity to advertise their website within the Miva network.  In order to get new Miva customers started, they are giving a $50 credit to open the advertising account.  This is more than the credit being offered through Webhostingpad by Google and Yahoo combined.  This means there are more funds to do more advertising.  Also, Miva is much cheaper in terms of keyword costs as compared with Google or Yahoo so your advertising dollars will go a lot further.

Miva does require a $5 deposit in order to open the account and be eligible for the $50 credit but that $5 is not an activation fee like Google charges.  It does count towards your advertising budget so in effect, you will have $55 worth of credit to advertise with.

Setting up the Miva account

To get started with the Miva setup, you want to click on the link from within your Webhostingpad billing control panel which they named the account dashboard.  From there you want to go to the Specials tab and click on the Miva link.  The link contains a computer cookie that provides the $50 credit when you open the account.

Next you will be taken to Miva’s signup page so you want to go ahead and get started with the process.  It will ask you for general stuff like name, address, email, etc, etc…but it will also have you create your very first ad as well.  Don’t worry about making it super perfect.  Just have the general idea of what you want your ad to say.  You can always change it later.  But don’t just put something unrelated to your site because Miva does review the ad to ensure that it is within their guidelines.

The final step is to provide a payment method and determine what increment you want to deposit funds from now on.  Go ahead and select the deposit amount you want to start with.  Remember, whatever you deposit will go towards your advertising so pick a deposit you are comfortable starting with.  This will be added to the $50 credit provided through Webhostingpad so keep that in mind.

Now, you click submit and wait for Miva to review your account.  You should receive an email approving your account within an hour and at which point, the $50 ad credit should have been added to your acccount.

Using the Miva credit

Now you need to start building your campaign.  At this point we can’t tell you how to use the credit as this will depend greatly on the individual websites you want to promote.  But what we can say is that you should plan your campaigns carefully to get the most out of the free credit.  Don’t think of it as free money but as a free investment.

If you want to take advantage of this ad credit for your website, sign up with Webhostingpad today.

Where to find the Google ad credit

So once you sign up with Webhostingpad for web hosting, to get the credits, simply login to your billing control panel which is at http://www.webhostingpad.com/login and click on the specials tab.  From there, you will see a link to the Google ad credits which takes you to a page that explains how to obtain the credit and outlines the conditions for its use.

Creating a Google AdWords account

The process of using the credit is pretty straightforward.  Just copy the 16 to 18 character code and just click on the link Webhostingpad provides that goes to Google Adwords sign up page.  Just follow each step of the sign up process until you get to the point where a text field appears that asks for any special promo code.  Once you get there, just paste the code you copied earlier.

Once you complete this process, your account will be reviewed by Google.  It usually takes a few hours for the review and they will send an email to you with approval.  Google does impose a $5 activation fee for opening the account but with the Webhostingpad provided code, the $5 fee is deducted from the credit so you don’t actually have to fork over your own cash right away.

Making the most of the ad credit

At this point you want to start looking for keywords that you want to target and use the Webhostingpad ad credit for.  Depending on the demand for the keywords you want to bid on, that $25 can go fast so you want to be sure to use that credit wisely.

If you want to take advantage of this ad credit for your website, sign up with Webhostingpad today.

Using RVsitebuilder – The Free Site Building Tool

Webhostingpad.com offers hosting for only $1.99/mo!!

UPDATE:  THIS SERVICE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE BY WEBHOSTINGPAD.COM

A very unique service that is provided by Webhostingpad.com, is their professional webmaster consulting service. With every hosting account, customers have a free 30 minute consultation with a webmaster to gain insight and tips in search engine optimization, internet marketing ideas, and even ecommerce startup recommendations.

This is a great idea by Webhostingpad.com to give their customers an opportunity to discuss and evaluate their website to make it the best possible in their chosen niche. It’s like having access to your very own personal webmaster to help you with your website. Webhostingpad customers are able to get an objective evaluation for their website and learn about custom techniques and strategies for their overall web presence.

There are a ton of resources online that talk about improving your website and describe what strategies to follow. While most of the site optimizing techniques are great and work in general, but not all websites are the same. Sometimes you have specific questions that you couldn’t find the answers for or you’re just not sure where or how to get started. There are companies out there that offer their SEO and marketing advice for hundreds of dollars per hour and often they just tell you the same things you can find online. Plus they don’t care if you follow their directions or if you succeed or fail. They get your money regardless of the results.

You certainly don’t get that impression from Webhostingpad’s Professional Consulting Service. After all, they have a vested interested in seeing you do well. Why? Because they are the ones that are providing your webhosting. This service reflects just how much they try to provide their webhosting customers with the best possible service. Plus, how great is it to be able to custom and individualized attention and service? You don’t get that from other web hosting providers.

Now you may be wondering how much can you actually get done or how much can actually discuss in 30 minutes? Honestly, not much. The professional webmasters know this and have come up with a great strategy to maximize the 30 minutes. Instead of wasting valuable consulting time, they will send you an email report with directions, recommendations, or anything else that can be covered in an email if necessary.

Once you become a Webhostingpad.com customer, all you need to do to talk with a web consultant is to schedule an appointment by filling out the online appointment request form.

RVsitebuilder – The Free Site Building Tool

Webhostingpad.com offers hosting for only $1.99/mo!!

Webhostingpad.com has been setting the bar when it comes to web hosting. They have always offered more bandwidth and disk space than any other web hosting company in the market. Each time Webhostingpad bumps up their offer, a few days later, the competition follows. The funny thing is, Webhostingpad hasn’t been around as long as some of the bigger hosting names but they seem to be doing everything right.

At the time of this writing, Webhostingpad.com offers unlimited web hosting. That’s right, UNLIMITED WEB HOSTING! So how can they offer that? We asked ourselves that same question and then we decided to go to the source and asked Web hosting pad themselves. How could a hosting company give unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth when computer servers have limited resources? It’s not like you can’t just go to Best Buy and find an ‘unlimited’ hard drive. It’s impossible.

Here is how they do it. You do get unlimited resources but to start you out, you get a finite amount of disk space and data transfer. As you approach that limit, they will increase that amount to what you need. This is an ingenious idea because it allows their customers to have as much as they need while at the same time, making sure their servers don’t get overloaded. Webhostingpad has found a way to give their customers what they want while protecting their bottom line.

With this new increase to their disk space and data transfer, Webhostingpad.com now offers truly unlimited web hosting. They already offer unlimited domain hosting with one account so with unlimited disk space and data transfer, you are basically getting as many websites you want for the price of one. So the more websites you have, the better the value.

Free Google, Yahoo, Miva Ad Credit

Why Webhostingpad.com Is Great for Beginners

Webhostingpad.com offers hosting for only $1.99/mo!!

These days, if you want to get to the top of the search engines, you have to start an advertising campaign. Unfortunately, advertising cost money. However, through a partnership with the major advertising networks, Webhostingpad.com is able to provide their customers with advertising credit towards Google, Yahoo and Miva. (The ad credit amounts vary depending on the search engine the credits are for). These ad credits come with every hosting plan Webhostingpad offers and is a great way to start your advertising campaign.

With these ad credits, you can drive traffice to your website, get listed at the top of the search engines and get your website out there for more people to visit. Now there is a caveat to the ad credits. Each ad network does require an initial deposit to open the account and get the free credit but that initial deposit does count towards your total advertising dollar. Each ad network requires a different amount but is well worth the investment.

$50 Miva Ad Credit
The best place to start with is with the Miva credit. At the time of this writing, Webhostingpad.com was offering $50 in advertising credit with Miva. The good thing about Miva is that they only require a $5 initial deposit to open the account. This means you get $55 total advertising dollars for the small deposit of only $5.

Google Ad Credit
At this point in time, who hasn’t heard of Google? They are the dominant search engine today and some argue that they are poised to dominate the entire Internet. If their Google Adwords Ad Network is any indication of Google’s future, they very may well do just that. So why not take advantage of that. With the $35 in Google ad credits, you can get a piece of the Google empire.

Yahoo Ad Credit
While Google maybe number 1 in search engines, Yahoo is no second banana. They have millions of searches each day and continue to be a powerhouse when it comes to connecting advertisers with targeted customers. The unfortunate downside is that they require a whopping $30 in order to obtain the $50 in advertising credit that Webhostingpad offers. This does give you $80 in total advertising credit but there is little room for error in your keyword selection if you want to maximize your investment.

Overall, you can definitely benefit by taking advantage of all these credits. As Webhostingpad.com offers all of these to their customers, why not take advantage of them.
