Building Your Website

Building Your Website

Here are some guidelines that you should remember when building your website:

 

Stay away from slow-loading images and designs. You want your website to load up fast because you can't risk having your visitors lose their patience while waiting for your pages to appear. Less is more when it comes to website design.

 

· Make your website as user-friendly as possible. The navigation options should be intuitive; they should not confuse your visitors.

 

· Remember to invest on good, well-written, and UNIQUE content. Content is king in the World Wide Web. The information you will serve to the members of your chosen niche will be presented via your content. Amateurishly written content will only reflect badly on you.

Professionally written content will help brand you as a major player in such a field.

 

· Keyword optimization. Earlier, we have discussed how utilizing the right keywords will make it easier for the members of your chosen niche to find you. Proper utilization of such keywords consists of their correct placement in your web pages. Consider the following tips:

 

o Make sure that your content will have a keyword density level of 3%, that is, 3 mentions of the keyword/s per 100 words of text.

 

o Make sure that the title of the web page will use the appropriate

keyword/s.

 

o Make sure that the META TAGS, though they don't have any effect on the visual look of a web page, will still contain the keyword/s targeted by the said web page.

 

o Make sure that every image you will use will have an ALT TAG, and every ALT TAG will mention the keyword/s you are targeting.

 

o Make sure that each web page is focused on a single keyword or key phrase. You want the search engine spiders to know that such a web page is dedicated solely, or at least primarily, to the keyword or key phrase you are targeting.

 

· You will need a web host. Don't rely on free web hosting. They will just send irritating ads which will test the patience of your visitors.

 

Additionally, a business using free web hosting will just appear amateurish. Invest on a good web hosting service.

 

· You will need your own domain name. For just under $9, you can get a good domain, so don't rely on free ones that will cast a bad reflection on your online enterprise. In choosing a domain name, consider the following tips:

o Look for a domain name that will include the primary keyword you are targeting.

o Look for a domain name that is easy to remember. It shouldn't be too long.

o As much as possible, go for a domain name with a .com extension as it is the most popular.

Once your website's up and running, you will want to incorporate moneymaking components to the same. Take a look at the following suggestions:

· Add your AdSense code to generate ad displays that will earn profit per click.

· Any veteran internet marketer will tell you that relying on AdSense alone can be risky. Add an eBay RSS feed or other affiliate RSS feeds

· Select relevant products from www.ClickBank.com . Promote these on your web pages. Every time someone buys such products via your affiliate links, you will earn a specified commission, which is usually 50% to 75% of the selling price.

· Search for and promote physical affiliate products from manufactures and retailers

There are more ways to monetize your website, of course. The above suggestions are just the most popular.
