IIS Server through the eyes of an SEO

2011-11-28T06:21:00.000-08:00

What is IIS?

Internet Information Services (IIS) is the second most popular web server in the world to Apache. IIS’s first big gig was in 1995 and still continues to power a massive portion of the internet today. Read more about Microsoft's history on the web

Out of the box IIS issues

Read more about this here. Example of a default document: www.example.com/index.html www.example.com - will return the same content, different URLs

Case insensitive
Works with www and non www (site canonicalization)

Why it’s a problem: You get a hard earned inbound link to the wrong URL and it doesn’t give you full credit – “but it’s the same page!” No, it’s not, and no, Google doesn’t magically fix this even though they try.

But hey! No one is going to link to your site like this! Right? cc Matt Cutts 2006

www.example.com/
example.com/
www.example.com/index.html
example.com/INDEX.html

Yes, yes they do. Not on purpose, but they do.

This is a very real problem for older, larger sites that hadn’t canonicalized their domain, or bothered with consistent URL structure in the past. Fast forward to 2011 and we SEOs start nitpicking for every bit of link juice and we notice that we’re missing out on all of these external links because we’re not redirecting these inbound links to the right pages. We need to write some permanent redirect rules to catch these.

Simple, right? When someone links to our real page www.example.com/blog/ like this: example.com/Blog

We just do a 301 redirect back to www.example.com/blog/ ! Happy days right? Please continue…

The Chaining 301 disease and how to fix it

It’s best to explain this by example. Open up this page from Cheapflights.co.uk.

Notice the capital L (london)? What happens when we request http://www.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/london/?

Brilliant! Even if someone incorrectly links to the lowercase version, we get a 301 redirect to the correct page http://www.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/London/

Here’s where I get crazy. Let’s say I decide to link to http://cheapflights.co.uk/flights/london

I want you to notice a couple of things here:

No www
London is london
Monitor the http requests, try HTTPFOX for FireFox

Whoa! Two 301 redirects! We know one 301 loses link juice, but 2?The point here is that Google is far less likely to pass on PageRank with each chained redirect, you should always aim for no more than one 301 redirect.

This is referred to as chaining 301 redirects (My example is specific to IIS)

Why is this happening?

When you are creating redirect rules, the server usually obeys each condition depending on what it finds. As a good SEO, you should always canonicalise the domain – as a smart SEO you’ll probably want to stop any uppercasing goofs too, maybe even trailing slashes while you’re at it!

My obsession – I noticed this all over the web and I was obsessed with finding the “catch all” redirect rule that would only redirect once, to the right URL.

I failed, until I got some very clever friends involved. Meet Daniel Furze, developer at Reed.co.uk.

A way to fix the chain for common SEO issues

I'm nicknaming this the "Furze Method" :) This method has been tried and tested, so we know it works. You should add this rule base in web.config for a .net app. Learn more here.

We're using IIS 7 and the url rewrite 2.0 module here which allows us to run regex rules against different parts of the url and then either Redirect or Rewrite them. The ability to rewrite is what I'm using to make sure we keep 301 chaining to a minimum. It allows us to run several rules against the url, cleaning it up in stages before doing one final Redirect. The trick to this is that when a rewrite rule matches and it does it's job it adds a _ to the path of the url. The final rules look for any path beginning with _ and will then strip this out and redirect. Let's have a look at the rules and then break them down in to sections.

Section 1

The first rule is very important here as there is no need to be cleaning up resource requests (remember all requests pass through here including image, css and js files with an integrated pipe).

Section 2

The 2nd section of 3 rules will tidy up different parts of the url

remove default.aspx, since we are using .net we want to clean up any stray default.aspx from the path (less important with a greenfield mvc app), you can change this rule for any other document types that you like including index.html.
clean up trailing slashes from the path of the url ie www.yoursite.com/news/ becomes www.yoursite.com/news
lowercase the whole path part of the url, the querystring isn't touched as these are often case sensitive so www.yoursite.com/News becomes www.yoursite.com/news

Section 3

The 3rd part is a little more tricky, this is the part that does the actual Redirect but it is also responsible for one last tidy-up as well. The first 2 rules will fix missing www and then redirect while also respecting the port the requested url was using ie http://yoursite.com becomes http://www.yoursite.com and the same for https. The reason these 2 rules are separate is that I haven't figured out how to add www without also specifying either http or https. The 3rd rule will do a redirect if any of the SEO Rewrite rules caught but the url already had www in it. You can see that these last 3 rules pay attention to _ which might be in the path from the previous rewrite rules.

One final gotcha is to make sure you don't actually have any geniune urls that begin with _ , if you do then you can substitute this for another special character but you will have to make sure it all still works. And also to pay attention to which ones have stopProcessing="true" on them, typically a Redirect will stop and a SEO rewrite will carry on. If you are wanting to put in any other rules for say redirecting email links or migrating old pages to new pages then I would recommend putting them in between any Whitelist rules you have and the SEO rules at the bottom.

The final result is a very mangled url like:

http://yoursite/NeWs/default.aspx?id=123 will redirect to http://www.yoursite/news?id=123 with only one 301.

You can see how it works live here..please disregard the domain name!http://a4uexpobavarianbeerandsausageonstand50.org/ArTIcle/

You'll notice that our non www, uppercase and trailing slash version 301's to http://www.a4uexpobavarianbeerandsausageonstand50.org/article with one 301! Cool!

Interview / Resource guide for IIS SEO(7+)

Mark Ridley is the Head of Development & an IIS expert at Reed and a personal friend of mine that I called for help. Oh feel free to bug him on Twitter, just say I told you to :)

I need to 301 redirect page A to page B, how can we do this?

Dave: This is fairly easy, we won't reinvent the wheel - please see detail instructions here. Updated: Another great resource (full tutorial) has been discovered thanks to Alan in the comments

We are migrating a site and we know which pages to redirect to, can you send us the rewrite map template so we can fill it out? (Basically explain that the Devs could send a rewrite map template and then just apply rules)

Dave: Yes, it is possible. Get a developer to send you a template, use this resource here.

How will ASP, .net, PHP react to our redirect rules? Are there any common pitfalls?

IIS URL Rewrite rules will execute before any rewrites or redirects that your application insists upon. There are some very technical reasons for this. Essentially, the web server thinks it's more important than your code, which is probably correct. The only pitfalls to watch out for, exactly as with Apache, is that you're making sensible rules on the web server. It is a little bit too easy to make infinite redirect loops, or at least very long chains of redirects that won't make you popular with search engines

Is there anything Apache can do that IIS can't?

There's WAY better community support for Apache, and a much wider adoption. That doesn't mean that IIS has poor support, just that the number of articles telling you about Apache is going to outnumber IIS by orders of magnitude, partially why this article is important. Other than that - yes, some Apache modules make Apache do things that IIS can't, but there aren't many things that will trouble the 80% of 'normal' users.

Do you prefer IIS or Apache? Why?

I refuse to get involved in a religious argument! Both are very capable web servers (number 1 and 2 in the market according to Netcraft), and often the decision to use one or the other is not based on the capability of the web server itself. Microsoft houses will use IIS and Free/Open Source or *nix houses will use Apache (or nginx). It doesn't hurt anyone to understand both, especially as your client will have made the decision to use one or the other, and probably won't want to change. It's enough to know that both are sensible choices depending on your reasons.

How can I speed up page load time with IIS?

IIS, like Apache's mod_rewrite, allows you to turn on gzip compression of both static and dynamic content. It's a very simple change that will make a massive difference to your page download speed, and your bandwidth costs! This was added in IIS7 and was a long overdue feature. All modern browsers support content compression, and there is almost no downside to enabling it.

A more technical, and complex solution is also available in addition to content compression, which is output caching (http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/710/configure-iis-7-output-caching/). This is probably something best left to the developers and server administrators to argue over, as whilst it can have benefits they are less obvious and harder to achieve than compression.

Can you easily give me log files? What information can I get? What software do you recommend to parse the logs?

Of course! IIS logs just the same way Apache does - writing log files into a folder. You can use exactly the same format as Apache, or several other popular web log formats, which are simple configuration options in IIS. Log parsing is often now less common with the massive improvements in online services, such as Google Analytics, Webtrends or Omniture. With Google Analytics being free, you're in a position to do away with pesky logs and let your marketeers do the analysis without worrying about the underlying technology. The free 'Live' view which is currently in Beta in GA is also amazing, and will sell itself to execs and marketing folk, as they can see who is on your site right at the moment. If you want a little more detail from your own logs for a reasonable price, I've often used Sawmill to great effect. AWStats is also popular with the more technical FOS community.

Can you explain (basic) how you set up a dev server and then deploy to live? (what are common issues)?

This is enormously variable based on your server architecture, your connections and your technical decisions. On a Microsoft stack, Microsoft provide tools such as Web Farm Framework and Web Deploy which can be a great help and offer a lot of heavy lifting. Some people with simpler sites are happy with FTP or WebDAV deployments. We use our own cocktail of Powershell scripts and Robocopy to manage our servers and keep them up to date, but we won't test you on that afterwards.

How can you define a custom 404 page easily?

IIS has standard support for all the common (and any custom) error pages. The easiest route is to create an HTML page with your 404 content and save it to a folder on your live servers. In the IIS configuration, you then simply locate this page and IIS will do the rest. With more complex ASP.NET MVC sites, you may want to handle your own 404s, bug again that's best left to the developers.

Can you explain how to make friendly (SEO) urls in IIS? What is the process?

Exactly the same way as with any other web server! Name your content well. Avoid special characters, use lower case filenames, be consistent with naming, use slugs where possible to make URLs that search engines will appreciate. If you're writing an application which pulls content from a database, make the URLs as meaningful as possible and avoid varied query strings. All of this is second nature for good SEOs. ASP.NET (or any other flavour) MVC helps even more as the URL routing allows the developers more control of exactly what the URL will look like, rather than having to rely only on filenames. If you use a content management system, make sure that you know how to configure correctly - most popular CMS products have this boiled in these days.

What do you mean by rewriting as opposed to redirecting?

In simple terms, imagine you have two files - a.htm and b.htm.

If you are using rewriting, someone will look at a.htm in a browser (and the address bar will still show http://site.com/a.htm), but you will actually see the content of b.htm.

If you are using the more common redirect method, when someone asks for a.htm with their browser, they will be sent to b.htm in the server. The address bar will now show http://www.site.com/b.htm For SEO purposes, this means that a spider won't be able to tell the difference between a.htm and b.htm if you're rewriting. If you're redirecting, you can give powerful instructions to the spider, such as a 301 response, asserting that the value of the b.htm should now be carried to a.htm. In most cases, you probably only need to worry about using redirects, as these are widely used and understood. Rewriting is often an edge case, or something used by developers for their own nefarious purposes.

Give me a good reason why I should use IIS 7 over previous versions?

IIS7 - now actually IIS7.5 in Windows 2008 R2 - was a huge improvement over IIS6. Native support for gzip compression, the newly integrated ASP.NET pipeline and performance and security improvements should be enough. If not, Windows 2008 is a far nicer Operating System to use than 2003 (now it's been patched a few times), and migrating will make your life a much more pleasant place to be. Do watch out for slow file copying though, a relic of it's Windows Vista brethren.

Start the year off right: empty your email and take some time off from Twitter/Facebook

2011-01-19T04:03:00.000-08:00

Want to get a fresh start on the new year? Here’s a few quick tips:

- Start the year off with an empty inbox in Gmail. It’s pretty simple to do: you assign a label for everything in your inbox right now, then archive everything so your inbox is empty. You can still dig into that label if you want to work down your email backlog, but it feels great to start the new year fresh. Follow the steps to declare a lightweight email bankruptcy, with the chance of still responding to those emails down the road.

- Do a one week (or one month!) digital cleanse by staying off Twitter and Facebook. I think I’ve said before that if you want to fill five minutes, Twitter is a great way to fill 35 minutes. Sometimes I end up spending more time on Twitter than I mean to, so last year I took a week off from Twitter, which turned into a month off. It’s easier than you might think–why not try a digital cleanse yourself? I’m going to do this digital cleanse for at least a while.

Also think about what you want from this year. Resolutions work for some people and not for others. But if you come up with even a single area you’d like to explore more, it helps you to recognize those opportunities throughout the year.

In 2009 for example, I went on 10-11 trips. When I looked back, I realized that they’d all been inside the United States. So one of my goals for 2010 was to get out to other countries more. I ended up visiting Asia with my wife, taking a work-related trip to Europe, visiting Mexico with my wife, and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa with friends. I wouldn’t have done so many of those trips if I hadn’t set a goal in the back of my mind.

So think about your goals for the new year. Lots of people want to get their finances in better shape or have goals about losing weight/getting fit. Speaking as someone who has lost 35-40 pounds in the last few years and kept it off for ~3 years, my main recommendation is to look for small changes that you think you can sustain for the rest of your life.

But you could also ponder all sorts of directions you’d like to explore. Maybe you’d like to work on being happier this year. Maybe you’d like to improve your skills. If you’re a left-brained person, maybe you could get in touch with your creative side by learning to draw, sing, dance, play guitar, etc. Maybe you want to practice being thankful, or widen your circle of friends. Or spend more time with family. You could even break your goals down into 30 day challenges.

But I think the main thing is to do some thinking about where you’d like to go this year. It can really pay off. What sorts of goals do you have for the new year?

Are vaccines safe?

2011-01-19T04:02:00.000-08:00

A lot of parents hear different things about the MMR vaccine (that’s measles, mumps, and rubella) or the flu or chicken pox or pertussis vaccine and wonder “How safe are vaccines?” It’s not a stupid question, given the conflicting information you might hear from different sources.

I’ve been doing research about vaccines and vaccine safety because I recently caught a mild case of pertussis (whooping cough). I also researched vaccines last year as part of my preparation for a trip to Africa. The research that I’ve done leads me to believe that your child is much better off getting vaccinated than not getting a vaccine.

Here’s some data points to help you make up your mind. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has a good overview of relevant medical studies (PDF link), including studies of autism and vaccinations:

The concerns regarding vaccine safety have received a great deal of attention by parents, doctors, vaccine manufacturers and the media. Dozens of studies have been performed in the United States and elsewhere. The purpose of this document is to list those studies and provide links to the publications to allow parents and all those who administer or recommend vaccines to read the evidence for themselves. The studies provided have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals. These studies do not show any link between MMR vaccine, thimerosal and autism.

A lot of people worry that children might get too many vaccinations. The AAP talks about that as well:

One study published in 2010 was conducted in response to concerns about the total number of vaccines children receive. In this study (the last one listed in this document), researchers found infants who followed the recommended vaccine schedule performed better on 42 different neuropsychological outcomes years later than children who delayed or skipped vaccinations. This should reassure parents that vaccinating their children on schedule is safe and is the best way to protect them from disease.

That’s what the current research says. A lot of people have read about Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who was an author of a controversial paper in 1998 about the MMR vaccine and autism. I suggest you read this story on CNN about recent news concerning Dr. Andrew Wakefield.

The summary is that the Lancet, the original British journal that published the study, retracted the study’s claims in February 2010. Britain stripped Wakefield of his medical license in May 2010. The recent news is that the British medical journal BMJ concluded that the now-retracted study was a fraud. The article about vaccination and autism continues:

Wakefield has been unable to reproduce his results in the face of criticism, and other researchers have been unable to match them.
Most of his co-authors withdrew their names from the study in 2004 after learning he [Wakefield] had had been paid by a law firm that intended to sue vaccine manufacturers — a serious conflict of interest he failed to disclose. ….
According to BMJ, Wakefield received more than 435,000 pounds ($674,000) from the lawyers.
Godlee, the journal’s editor-in-chief, said the study shows that of the 12 cases Wakefield examined in his paper, five showed developmental problems before receiving the MMR vaccine and three never had autism.

I understand that parents want to do the right thing for their child. My research on this issue leads me to believe that parents should make sure their children get vaccinations.

Your Business Website: What’s the Bottom Line?

2011-01-03T23:05:00.000-08:00

As well over 90% of people now turn to the Internet as their primary information source, it’s crucial to your bottom line to ensure that your Web presence is as effective as possible.

Many of these issues are caused by one of more of these factors:

* Lack of strategic planning and consideration of the full range of visitor types to the site, their needs, and likely emotional responses.

* Lack of clear positioning and navigation elements that drive visitors around the site to ensure that they see relevant content.

* Lack of cohesion between the Website and the organization’s social media presence.

* Lack of coordination between departments to maximize leverage of content and calls to action – sometimes this is inadvertent, but sometimes it is deliberate.

* Lack of sufficiently senior and informed management oversight to ensure that appropriate strategies and systems are in place and acted upon.

All these can cause significant loss of potential revenue, since the failure to engage visitors with your Web presence reduces conversion and referral rates.

This article briefly explores the above issues, showing how they manifest, their impact, and how they can be detected and resolved.

Lack of Thinking about Visitor Types

A common mistake in strategic Web design is to create a site based on a homogeneous view of the typical visitor. This assumes that all visitors will think in the same way, will use the same vocabulary, and will follow similar paths through the site.

Of course, this is far from the truth. Visitors will have a wide range of needs, levels of literacy and language skills, decision-making processes, and will respond differently to
various types of calls to action. It is very important to consider this for your particular demographic, so that you can create copy and navigational structures that appeal as widely as possible, and to avoid losing visitors and revenue-generating opportunities.

One of the most valuable exercises that you can undertake is to define a set of typical visitor “personas.” Think about all the different types of individual that you might attract to your Web presence, not just current and prospective customers. These can include potential investors or partners, bankers, insurers, job seekers, media, and even members of the public who may find your site by chance, but who are interested in your content.

In creating these “personas,” consider these characteristics:

* Gender / age / language(s) spoken
* Education level / income
* Their reason for visiting the site – be very specific
* How do they make decisions – are they visual / emotional / data-driven?
* Content / elements that are likely to attract them to respond
* Content / elements that are likely to deter them from interacting with you further
* Any other relevant details?
* Give them each a name!

It’s best to do this with input from a wide range of both senior and junior staff, and from all departments and levels of interaction with the public so that you can build as complete and varied a picture as possible.

Once you have this list, try walking through your current or proposed site structure in the shoes of each “persona,” seeing it as they would, and trying to interact in the way they’d prefer. This will almost certainly be an eye-opening experience!

Lack of Clear Positioning and Navigation

Web usability studies have consistently shown that a clearly articulated value proposition and / or differentiation statement can have a major impact on your results. Visitors need immediate confirmation that they’re in the right place for what they need, and that you have competence and credibility. They’re looking for the geographic locations that you serve, your specialties, and any recent awards or notable news.

Your home page is where visitors will expect to find this information, even if it’s not where they first enter your site. So it’s important to look at the impression that your home page gives:

* What’s “above the fold” (i.e. visible in the first screen of content – often visitors won’t scroll past this point on the home page)

* Which elements stand out more than others? Are they appropriate?

* Are your key messages visible?

* Are the navigation tabs and labels intuitive and easy to understand?

Designers love rotating elements. They’ll tell you that they allow much more information to be given on the page. However, relying too heavily on these is dangerous because you can’t assume that the visitor will wait until the piece that they really need to see comes up, so they may get the impression that what they’re looking for isn’t available, and leave your site.

It’s also dangerous to use words or phrases on your site which will only have meaning to those who are already familiar with your business. Other visitors will fail to respond, and they may miss the content which would meet their needs because the navigation labels do not draw them into the appropriate pages.

Lack of Cohesion between your Website and your Social Media Presence

It’s important to ensure a consistent message and presentation across everything that you do online. Otherwise you risk weakening your brand and the emotional connections that you hope to make with visitors.

Too often, an organization’s social media messages present a very different image than the website. There may be a Facebook fan page which is energized and exciting, where the corresponding web information is bland and boring, or filled with legalese, destroying the motivation of the Facebook visitor.

It’s entirely possible that this happens because the social media and web presences are managed by different teams within the organization. If so, this is a great example of a situation where a higher level overview of the entire Web presence would identify and implement these opportunities for cross-fertilization , with potentially significant impact on response rates.

Lack of Cohesion between Departments

One of the key messages that I always emphasize is that it’s crucial to have compelling calls to action on every page of your site. If you don’t direct visitors to the next step that you would like them to take, there’s a better than 40% chance that they’ll leave or do something other than your desired outcome.

Since this is a “web” and visitors enter and progress through your content in many different ways, it’s important to leverage all possible opportunities to cross-link between pages.

Online press releases are often a prime example of this issue. They attract a lot of traffic because their content is naturally full of keywords, but they fail to link to other pages on the site where the visitor can find more information or buy the products and services that they highlight.

Again, a higher level review of the whole site would identify the instances where they were failing to capitalize fully on their investment or achievements.

Lack of Management Oversight

Somehow “gremlins” can creep into even the best and most professionally designed sites, even those that tested fine last week!

Many of the issues discussed in this article can be detected by informed analysis of your Web traffic reports, which are generated by Google Analytics and similar programs.

The key word here is “informed.” These reports can contain a huge mass of data, pie charts and graphs, and can certainly appear very daunting to the untrained eye. I’ve seen many situations where excerpts are distributed to relevant personnel who immediately glaze over. There is a major temptation to look at the “dashboard” executive summary, and if the number of overall visits is higher than last time, to assume that this is a good sign, and ignore the rest.

The most effective way to gain actionable information from the traffic reports is to look for answers to specific questions. Examples of these might include:

* Which are the main landing pages for the site (i.e. the first page that a visitor sees)? Do visitors progress from these pages further into the site, or do they leave immediately?

* What keyword searches bring visitors, and to which specific pages? Are there keyword searches that consistently generate high numbers either of visitor responses or of immediate exits?

* What proportion of visitors comes to your site from mobile devices? Do you know what your site looks like when viewed through a Blackberry, Android or iPhone?

It can also be helpful to break the reports into relevant sections for each department, rather than expecting staff to look at data that they don’t necessarily relate to nor have responsibility for.

However you approach interpreting your analytics, it’s important that key personnel are able to see them so that they can perform their tasks around the Website as effectively as possible.

Who’s your “Web Ambassador?”

My recommendation to ensure appropriate oversight and maximum return on investment for any Web and social media presence is to appoint a “Web Ambassador.”

This person should be a member of the senior management team, ideally reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, with sufficient authority within the organization to be a respected voice at the table, and to be heard during budget and spending decision-making discussions. They should have a complete understanding of the organization’s ongoing strategy, marketing and patient service plans, etc. so that they are always well positioned to advise on how the Web can support, enhance and grow the business goals.

This understanding and authority will allow them to ensure that traffic reports are appropriately analyzed and acted upon across all departments, and that optimum use is made of cross-linking and other online revenue-generating opportunities.

I also recommend that the Website and social media presence be placed on the management meeting agenda at least every quarter. At this time, the Web Ambassador can report on their evaluation and suggested improvements, with possible costs, projected benefits and appropriate priorities for each one.

There are many excellent tools and utilities available to help you to maximize your return on your Web and social media investment. One of the most critical factors in your success will be your willingness at a management level to take a serious and ongoing look at the resources that you’re expending and the results that you’re generating. This may require some departures from traditional activities and organizational structures, but the ensuing gains are available and potentially significant.

Business is heavily dependent upon finances, and lack of monetary resources can give it a major setback. Finances are especially crucial in a start up business wherein the amount of investment can mould the business into a new dimension. Going around the traditional ways and means to access loans can be a tough task to undergo, and the demanding lifestyle may not spare you with enough time to do so. If this is the concern that has been bothering you, then some of the online providers could have an answer to your concern.

Ms. Sophie Burt, spokesperson of Business Start Up Loans, an online entity comments, “Business needs can’t be postponed, in the view that the present opportunity may be lost if it is not catered at the opportune time.

However, once you are running your own business, it doesn't take long to realize the price of that freedom. Being a business owner is a wonderful feeling, but it requires a substantial investment of both time and money. Most business owners are prepared for the costs of starting a business, but they aren't prepared for the capital they will need to keep the business running smoothly after it is established.

Having access to additional funds to help you with the everyday business expenses can be absolutely priceless. You may need the money for expanding or changing the focus of your business, to purchase inventory or to pay for necessary training. Whatever your needs, most businesses do need additional funds at times.

The sad fact is that for many business owners, a loan may be extremely difficult to acquire. For one reason or another, their credit is bad and they are continually passed over by banks for business loans. If this sounds like your situation, you are far from alone.

Today's Americans carry much more debt than any previous generation. That can eventually lead to poor credit. It's not that you have spent money irresponsibly. More likely, you funded necessary purchases with credit and then fell victim to high interest rates.

Business Loan: How to Take Full Advantage of Business Loans

2008-07-14T23:31:00.000-07:00

Before applying for a business loan, prudent business people look into the various aspects of borrowing, ensuring cash flow and business success in the long term. Careful planning is the first step in applying for a business loan. Business financing available from lenders can be long term, 30 years or more, or short term, less than five years. The key point in planning a business loan or securing business financing is the projected cash flow. An even better option is to get your written business plan analyzed by knowledgeable professional investors or business professionals. There is a charge for this, but paying the consultancy charges is much less expensive than future business loss and going bankrupt.

Business loans are not easily given out to start ups. This is because banks and lenders worry about their money. Without showing any operating history, it is extremely difficult to get any business financing at all.

Thus the very first step, even before thinking about a Business loan, is to look at the frugal route. It is pretty tempting to pour all of the initial capital into any project that comes your way. Don't fall victim. The best way is to test the waters with minimal spending. It is not absolutely necessary to spend big dollars on cosy furniture, flashy cars, and the highest performing computers and printers. Cut out as much as you can. Used furniture is not bad to start out with as well as used vehicles. Instead of costly computers, you can look for cheaper alternatives. Start small, but firm. Spending your initial borrowed money on depreciating assets is in itself not a good business decision.

Great stories of successful businesses start with a business loan secured from friends and relatives. Your own savings account is another source of the initial capital investment. Don't discount any source of money for the sake of a business loan. Only after completing an operating history of more than six months can you go to a bank and demand business financing.

If you can convince your business loan lender even before starting your venture, you will have a pretty tedious task of submitting a business plan, complete with market overview, and customer behaviour and trends. You will also need to submit personal financial statements. Your personal property will be asked for as collateral for releasing the loan.

It can be a bit confusing to pick the right business loan. There are specific niche Business loan programs. Finding the perfect lending program enables you to quickly secure the loan. Thus, just as you did your market research, you also should conduct business loan research. What types of loans are available to you and what amount you can request for your project are the things you must have a clear idea about before applying for the loan.

Who said getting a business loan is an easy task? It is not. You will not think about the easy routes if you have the real entrepreneur spirit in you.

At the same time, it should be admitted that even these especial loans require the borrowers to win the lenders' faith in them.

This can be done by proving that you are worthy of credit, implying that the business people need to produce all the documents of their trade in order to prove its repayment capability. Take a convincing repayment plan to the lender. As your FICO-score has plunged from acceptable levels of 650, make adequate efforts to first improve it to some extent. Also, take out copies of your credit report for ensuring that it has no errors.

Adverse credit business loans are categorized in secured and unsecured options. For huge amount of loan, the secured option is ideal, as you need to pledge any commercial or residential property for collateral. Value of collateral is assessed for fixing the loan amount. So, place collateral as per the loan amount. The loan comes at low rate of interest. Its repayment can be made conveniently in the range of 5 to 30 years.

For only smaller amounts of say up to £30000, the unsecured loan can be availed without collateral. But the interest rate will be on higher side and the repayment will be made in short-term of 5 to 15 years.

To find adverse credit business loans at competitive rates, you must make an extensive search for various such offers on internet. Look for the offers that are made at lower rates for your circumstances and additional charges involved in the loan are fewer. Such a loan can be repaid without stressing your business.

Small Business Loans And Commercial Real Estate Loans - Worst Case Scenario

2008-07-03T01:42:00.000-07:00

Much like the perfect storm, the worst case scenario for borrowers seeking commercial real estate loans and small business loans is not a situation that most people should want to actually experience. There are several elements that we believe will almost always produce this serious but avoidable result when they are all present simultaneously. Understanding each of the issues should enable borrowers to avoid a potentially devastating commercial funding outcome.

We have prepared separate reports that discuss each underlying factor in detail. Here are the issues which we believe will usually result in a worst case scenario for commercial loans if all five are present: (1) Using a lender which historically has an unacceptable track record for successfully completing commercial loans; (2) Dealing with an inexperienced commercial finance advisor; (3) Obtaining business financing that includes a recall option for the lender; (4) Short-term financing in which a borrower is not also offered the opportunity to lengthen to a longer-term period; and (5) Inappropriate and non-competitive loan terms.

There are likely to be many business financing scenarios where it will be impractical to avoid all of the issues described in the preceding paragraph. Our primary advice is to totally avoid circumstances where all five factors exist at the same time. A secondary recommendation is to also seek alternative financing for Small business loans and commercial real estate loans when either of the first two elements are present.

It is clearly not our intent to raise a red flag without suggesting a path for minimizing the potentially problematic circumstances summarized above. It is important for business owners to secure commercial financing which is not impacted by the worst case conditions. Two points deserve special emphasis.

First is our observation that the worst case scenario for small business loans described above is totally avoidable. But if you want to avoid an obstacle, it is critical that you have a working understanding of what you are avoiding, what it looks like and any special techniques required to evade it. For example, if you are driving a car, it is common sense that you will not intentionally drive your vehicle over sharp pointed objects that are likely to puncture your tires.

With commercial real estate loans and commercial loans, the combination of the five factors noted previously in this article will typically produce an impact for small business funding that is equivalent to much worse than simply puncturing a tire. Unfortunately, without proper advice and knowledge, most business owners will not be prepared to recognize the appropriate warning signs for avoiding business financing hazards.

Our second point to emphasize is that Small business loans are more complex than most borrowers realize. There are a number of additional serious commercial funding obstacles beyond those noted in this brief article. Because of this, it is important for commercial borrowers not to narrowly focus on the factors included in the worst case scenario discussed here and simply avoid these specific issues. A comprehensive approach to working capital management should incorporate a balanced analysis of both the worst case aspects and other critical business finance terms.

Keys To Getting A New Business Loan

2008-06-06T01:48:00.000-07:00

Most people opt for a New business loan when they are expanding their business either by opening new locations, entering new territories, or otherwise increasing the scope of current operations.

Whatever maybe the case, you need funding whether you are small business seeking to become big or a big one seeking to cement your position, or wanting to become even bigger. If your business is even reasonably successful, lenders will line up to offer you funds to let you do more of the same.

While capital expansion is probably the most common reason for applying for a business loan, here are a few other ways businesses, small or big use the extra funding:

• improve facilities and conduct renovations
• invest in major equipment
• boost working capital
• build up inventory

Often, even businesses that have enough capital for an expansion or equipment investment opt for a New business loan instead. This leaves them with the operating cash to cover unexpected expenses, while the new income generated by the purchase or expansion covers the cost of the loan.

Avenues of Small Business Funding

Self

You are the first source of money. If your planned operation is modest enough, you may be able to supply all the capital yourself. But if you are doing good and have foreseeable bright future, it is better to go for loans as you don't want to tie up too much of your own funds and it's good to get the experience of managing borrowed money.

Friends and relatives

After you have put up some of your own money, friends, acquaintances, and relatives are probably the source to consider next. About 13 percent of entrepreneurs obtain start-up capital from this source.

When you borrow from people you know, everything starts out on a friendly basis. But beware that once the loan is extended, the friendly atmosphere may dissolve. Money can do strange things to people. For example, you may find that your friend, who lent you money, keeps calling up every day or so to see how things are going and to pester you with unwanted advice.

Working partner

One solution to the money problem is to take on a working partner who makes an investment and shares the running of the company with you. The capital and skills of two people are combined. In an ideal arrangement the partners' qualities complement each other.

One good combination is to team up a person having expertise in the type of business with a person who can infuse capital. Another good combination would be a person with administrative skills teaming up with one who has strong operational know-how.

If you're not the kind of person who can do it all, face the fact honestly. Identify your own strengths and weaknesses, utilize your strengths and find a partner who can fill in the gaps.

Keep in mind, partners sometimes may fight and argue. This is healthy, provided the discussion stems from different experiences, knowledge, temperament, and ideas about the business, rather than personal reasons.

Although a partnership is easy to set up, its better to have an attorney prepare a contract spelling out the rights and responsibilities of those involved.

Commercial banks

If you are launching a new business, chances are good that there is a commercial bank ready to invest in your future. However, remember most of the bank funding goes to small businesses that are already in operation and have an established track record of profitability.

Small Business Loans: Capital to help you along

2008-03-27T03:24:00.000-07:00

Since the beginning is always a good place to start, let us begin with the definition of a small business. In other words, how small is small? To begin with, a small business is a business with a small number of employees. When it comes to business, the definition of size is often related to the number of employees that a particular business supports, though there will be other considerations such as annual turnover and assets value.

While the legal definition of a ‘small’ business may vary by country and industry, in the United States, for example, a small business generally has fewer than 100 employees while in the European Union it has fewer than 50. A small business anywhere in the world is likely to either be a privately owned corporation, a partnership, or a sole proprietorship. Into this group will fall, for instance, the ‘mom and pop’ small businesses that are actually family-owned and operated enterprises, and may even be second- or third-generation businesses.

So what does it take to set up a small business? Funds are the obvious answer, but what kind of funds? The thumb rule is that the small entrepreneur should have access to a sum of money that is at least equal to the estimated revenue for the first year of business in addition to other anticipated expenses. Therefore, if an entrepreneur feels s/he will generate revenue of $50,000 for the first year and incur additional expenses of $50,000, s/he should have at least $100,000 as available capital.

Understandably, that kind of money is not to be pulled out of a hat. So what the potential small business owner does is apply for a small business loan. Make no mistake; it is vital that you have requisite capital when you start up, because the commonest malaise that plagues small businesses is bankruptcy owing to under capitalization. So lack of adequate funding will make the entrepreneur liable for all of the company’s debts should the business end up bankrupt.

Allan Mason, who set up a convenience store five years ago in Greensboro, North Carolina on the strength of a small business loan, recalls how he feared that might not break even in his first year in business. “The problem is that apart from ensuring that the business has enough capital, a small entrepreneur must also remember his gross margin (that is, sales minus the variable costs). To break even, I obviously had to reach a volume of sales where my gross margin was higher than my fixed costs,” Allan explains. “I also had to make sure that I did not under-price my items to the extent that I simply could not break even, and yet offer reasonable prices to customers in the teeth of competition from supermarkets.”

Allan had applied for a Small business loan that would enable him to stock diverse products. “I wanted to get as close to the departmental store as possible in terms of items on offer, but I also wanted the intimacy of the shop around the corner,” he says. “My loan was approved on the strength of my business plan, and I think that is crucial for any small business owner. If you do not have a clear business plan and revenue model in mind, your loan application goes in the trash.” In April 2007, Allan opened his third store in Greensboro, and currently employs a staff of 12 across his three stores. “If I’m not careful, I’ll be launching a supermarket chain soon,” he jokes.

Therefore, it is a good idea to have written down a few points about your business and ideas, and have an explanation ready as to why people will buy from you and not your competitors, what your turnover and profits are likely to be over the coming years, and the exact amount of loan that you are looking for. Allan also advises prospective debtors to shop around. “Make sure you get a competitive interest rate on your repayments,” he says. “Loan Interest should also be tax deductible, which basically lowers the net effective rate.” In addition, it is wiser to opt for a lender or bank that allows you to pay off your loan before term if you are so able, and also lets you choose the loan repayment term.

However, at the end of the day, a Small business loan is still a loan, so you need to be particular about repayment. Like any other loan, a small business loan can readily give you a bad credit history.
