New URL Format and More Premium Templates

We're committed to finding new and innovative ways to get more exposure to your sites. Sometimes even seemingly small changes can make a big difference to your traffic. Here are a couple of improvements you can expect the next time you log into your WhyPark account.

SEO-friendly URLs

We know we're preaching to the choir when we stress the importance of quality traffic to your site.

That's why we changed our URL format to be more search engine friendly. Rather than a web page consisting of article.cfm/id/number or page.cfm/id/number, WhyPark URLs are now keyword-rich. For example, rather than http://www.wifinews.net/article.cfm/id/387011, the new URL will be: http://www.wifinews.net/a387011-cell-phone-buyers-to-benefit-from.cfm. With that simple change, search engines will steer even more traffic to your site and potential visitors will qualify your site as being relevant to their search.

The best part is that you don't have to do anything. All links will be automatically updated. Even if you have existing links to pages from outside sites, search engines, or within a customized layout, the old URLs will still resolve. You won't lose any valuable traffic.

Over 380 new layout templates

The right layout can make your site stand out from the crowd. With WhyPark, creating inviting sites is a snap.

Now you can choose from even more attractive layouts that perfectly match the themes of your sites. We've recently added 387 new templates to the premium gallery. Each template includes all of the available placeholders like text ads, related articles, newsletter signup form, RSS feed subscription icon, and an incoming RSS feed display.

You can choose the new templates from these categories:

• 93 category-based/various
  
• 50 US states
  
• 244 most populated US cities
  

If you subscribe to WhyPark's Managed Account, all of these placeholders will be shown. Enhanced Account subscribers have all the included features of a Managed Accounts except for the newsletter signup and RSS subscription. These placeholders can remain in the templates but won't be displayed at the Enhanced level. However, you can always remove those when customizing your layout.

Whether you choose layouts for a single site or in bulk, you can see these premium templates in the Layout section.

We've also added a filter to search through templates more quickly. Filter by category and/or keyword for quicker access to relevant templates.

If you'd like to take advantage of these new premium templates, but currently have only a standard account, you can upgrade by logging into your WhyPark account, clicking on the My Account tab and then Manage Subscription. By upgrading to the Enhanced account at $10 per month or Managed account for $25 per month, you can instantly take advantage of these new templates and many more features not available at the standard account level.
