Apart from this, the domain name reflects a lot about your business and creates the first impression about your business on online entity.

Make sure your domain name is not too long or too short. Ideally, it should be between 1-3 words.

Make sure your domain name is easy to remember, having a domain name as AFSDCES.com even if it abbreviates to your business in some or other way won’t make it easier for people to remember.

Any software solves any captcha or read any image in three phases.

• Removing background noise.
• Segmentation
• Matching the segmented part with alphabets.

Background noise removal is very easy for software, and is just achieved by some predefined formulas. Also, matching the segmented parts with alphabets and then predicting the alphabet is an easy task for the computer. The only task in which computer lag behinds us is segmentation. So, when writing a captcha by self, one should be careful enough to generate a captcha in which segmentation becomes difficult.

In the earlier time, captcha consisted of only distorted alphabets. However, now days it is very easy to crack them. So, a better captcha can be achieved by having couple of angled lines which will be overlapping characters, making it difficult for computer to automatically segment character. Another good technique can be clubbing the character so near to each other that they are almost overlapping or tilting alphabets in such a way that if divided horizontally, upper part of one alphabet will coincide with lower part of other.

These kinds of techniques will make sure that your captcha is really serving the purpose of captcha.

1. Removal of background noise.
2. Splitting images such that each part contains only one character.
3. Identifying character in each region.

Generally, task 1 and 3 are easier for computer to do. So, it is wise to make part 2 tougher so that computers are not able to split because if computer is not able to split then it can’t of course identify the character in each region. Today, if you are designing a dynamic website it is good idea to have a captcha for your website while registering or posting so that bot can’t spam on your website. It is possible to use one of available Open Source Software’s to generate captcha to make your site securer. However, it is not very good idea to completely rely on these softwares as it was reported in 2008 that spammers achieved success rate of 30%, using a bot for solving captcha.

‘A picture speaks louder than a thousand words’, goes a famous Chinese proverb, which has proven its worth over different periods of time. Be it a newspaper, a magazine or simply a brochure- inculcation of images has become a must. So is the case with the virtual world! While text and content of your website can describe your objectives- it is only a picture which can create an irrevocable impact in the minds of the audience. Considering this fact, one must remain extremely alert while selecting images for the website. The following factors must be borne in mind during image selection-

• Select photographs which have a preferably clear backdrop. Each image must stand for an idea. The more cluttered your background or foreground is, the more confused appears your website.
• Alter high-resolution pictures to suit your website. Always go in for images which are web-friendly and immediately catch attention.
• Do not let your images stay without a caption. A caption or a tag not only improves your search engine ranking but it also helps make your message clear to the audience.
• Organize all your images into a spreadsheet first and then decide which image would be placed on which page. This would ensure better positioning and thereby- better viewer acceptability.
• Give the viewers exactly what they are looking for. Fuzzy and unclear pictures denote irresponsibility of action and thought.

A website with fine images succeeds in making an immediate impression. Thus, image selection for your website must remain a priority.
