Get a free small domain - How to setup web host redirect on blogger and google sites

No-ip has a free host redirect and ftp url feature. If you want to serve your blog via FTP, no-ip is a great option. Then you can choose that domain name you always wanted, but couldn't because it was already taken. Tonight I finally got around to successfully setting up no-ip so that I could have the domain name http://moneyblog.serveblog.net, and this is how I did it.

1. Go to No-IP and if you already do not have one, setup a free account.
2. Once you are setup and verified, go to manage your account and click on Hosts/Redirects in the upper left corner.
3. Now you want click on Add Host
4. Click on Web Redirect and enter you blog URL
5. Now put in your page title, you will need to add your meta tag in the meta keywords box, but you cannot do this yet until you add your new domain to webmaster tools so for right now click save.
6. Keep the tab open and open a new tab and in the new tab go to webmaster tools and you want to add your new no-ip domain name.
7. Next you need to verify the host redirect name from no-ip, you need to use the meta tag option. Copy your meta tag that google gives you.
8. Go back to the No-IP tab and click on modify and paste the meta tag in keywords. NOTE: You need to take out everything except for the V1 and the numbers. If you don't it will not work. So in the meta keywords in the modify section of no-ip has to be exactly like this verify-v1 t2E4QMC9V1MhVKbQWrCGdUiKImG4cmj/7s+7SGkvCD4
9. Next you need to open a new tab and go to your blog.
10. Click on layout, and then select EDIT HTML
11. Copy and paste the Meta Tag after the head tag. Since you did not copy and paste anything else it should paste just fine, leave that meta tag as is this time.
12. Now go back to Webmaster Tools and click verify. You may have to wait a few minutes.
    
13. Now try your new domain.

NOTE: This also works for google sites, follow the rules above, but when you reach step 11, you need to go to your google site, click on more actions, go to other on the left, and paste the meta tag over your old meta tag, then verify in webmaster tools. On google sites you can then click on the domain names, and add your no-ip domain name once everything is verified.

How to submit Website URL to Bing using Bing Webmasters Tools

Lately there has been ads running, as you may have noticed, in your Google ads for bing. Microsoft owns bing's search engine and recently it dawned on me that maybe it is a good idea to submit my blog to bing as well.

1. To submit a site to bing, if you already do not have one, you will need to login using your Windows LiveID or signup for one.
2. Next you need to go to Bing Webmaster Tools page to add your site.
3. When submitting your site, all you really need to do is add your url than click the submit site button
4. Now since you are submitting a blog, it is easier to add just the meta tag, copy and paste the meta tag right below your head tab and than save your template.
5. Once you click submit, you will see your blog in a list, click on the blog url and bing will than verify your URL.

Here is a post I did about getting a shorter URL using no-ip. This makes it easier so if you ever decide to change your blog's URL, you always have the no-ip URL pointing to whichever new blog name you might choose.
