Tips for building a website

There are millions of websites on the World Wide Web and you want to throw your hat into the Internet ring but you may not know what to do once you have a domain and you are ready to build a site. We can offer you some tips to help get you going in the right direction. A common misconception is that when people build a site they believe it has to look perfect or you have to pay a professional a lot of money to build their sites. The truth is that is not so. If you look around on the Web you may see some of the most basic and yes, even ugly sites but they are very successful.

When I began my first site that I designed totally from scratch I had no way of knowing what the perfect site should be but because I used guidelines and my own personal touch my modest sites bring in over 50,000 visitors a month and Google upgraded me to a Page Rank 6 or PR6. Your goal is to build a site that is going to bring you income. Income from a site comes from things like Google Ad sense and affiliate clicks as well.

Your goal is to get your site to a modest page rank and to get indexed by Google so many people will see your site. If no one sees your sites then you have no traffic and without traffic your website just sits. You want to make sure your site has something whether it is a product, service or content that people need. If your site has no relevance then no one will come to it.

When building your site make sure you target a certain keyword or key phrases. The more keywords you use the more the indexing robots will come and access your site and rank it accordingly. You want to keyword enough do not make every other third word a key phrase because that is all the bot will see and it won’t recognize the content as original. Remember use your keywords wisely and always keep your content original. The better your site is the better the page ranking and the more traffic you get.

Key wording is not the only way to make a site successful. Your site is no good if you have a top ten indexing in the search engine if your site is non navigable. You have to make sure that your site is easy to use. A user won’t stay on a site if they are having trouble finding what they want. Don’t confuse the user, keep one topic per page and remember keep the lay out simple. Stay on point!

It is ok to use headers and graphics to enhance your site but do not make it your entire site. Keep it clean and simple; don’t use loud colors or huge graphics. People don’t want to use your site for the graphics they are coming for the information, product or a service you are providing. You can use extras such as blogs, social networks and other directories to promote your site as extra insurance.
