I am such an idiot – I can’t even make a simple website!

by Kristin Thormar

Has this thought ever gone through your head? You see all those beautiful websites online, and deep down you know that you will never be able to create your own website like that.

But how wrong you are! Even you can create a web site! Everybody is able to create a beautiful website, if they are tought how to do it step by step.

The fact is, that all those beautiful web sites you see on the internet, were made by people who have lots of knowledge about creating web sites.

That simply means that in the beginning, they had absolutely no experience in creating websites, just like you. But they started somehow, probably with a simple website, published it on the internet, and started making money with it.

As time went by and they learned more, they realized that making quality websites is extremely important, but realizing that most likely took them quite a while.

The key to success in internet marketing is creating your own website, with your own domain name, completely controlled by you, don’t let anybody try to convince you it isn’t.

However, there are many vital things you have to know, things that will probably scare you from even trying to create your own website, if you don’t learn them.

Things, such as why do I need my own domain name, what is web hosting, what is a web editor, what is ftp, how do I create a clickable link, are common questions asked by people who want to create and publish their own websites.

The thing is, that you need to start somewhere. You need to learn how to create a simple website, and publish it on the net, and then you need to learn how to bring traffic to it. That is not the focus of this article, but I can show you that later if you want.

Eliminating The Irritating Flaws To Create The Best Designed Websites

by Stephanie Dawson

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there are some things that are universally agreed upon. When designing a website there definitely limitations on what is considered attractive and irritating.

As a website designer, there is a certain responsibility that you must accept. Many customers have there own ideas as to what kind of website look that they are seeking. Your job as a professional web designer is to be able to take their ideas and give them sound advice to avoid creating an irritating website.

Some of you may not be sure what I am talking about when I refer to irritating, so I have compile a list to explain further.

Annoying Pop Ups:

Many people say that pop ups have actually increase their sales, but I cant imagine how when everyone I know hates them. Pop ups are especially annoying when you are in a hurry.

Loud Flash Presentations:

Flash intros are really dramatic and when used correctly can really grab a potential customers attention. My issues with flash presentations stems from the ones that are too loud and do not have an option of eliminating the sound. You should always leave the choice to the customer of whether or not they want to listen to the music.

Light Colored Fonts With A Similar Background:

Using a white text on a light background is definitely extremely annoying. You should not have to squint in order to read the content of a website.

Fonts That Are Too Big:

Big fonts are unattractive because they give the feel of being in preschool. No one likes words that jump out of the page. It is a sure fire way to drive away your visitors.

To Much Info On One Page:

A website that is full of content is wonderful, but there are ways to organize your content so that it is uniformed. Placing too many navigation choices in one page seems a little too confusing for my taste. The use of a drop down menu can do wonders in that situation.

Creating quality web designs takes a lot of consideration. You must take into account what your targeted visitors may or may not like. In the end, the best designed websites are the ones that are moderate and incorporate everyone.

Use These Simple SEO Tricks

by Hass67

Search engine optimization (SEO) is usually considered to be difficult and a time consuming process. You can use very simple SEO tricks that can help your blog post get good ranking for a particular keyword.

Good ranking for a blog post means lots of traffic. Using these simple tricks, I have been able to get my blog posts ranked on the top of that particular keyword within a few hours by Google.

But before these trick starts working, you need to have at least 50 posts on your blog. Once your blog post reach more than 50, Google will start considering you a serious blogger.

Google loves blogs. Blogs means fresh content. Google usually indexing a blog post much faster than a webpage! In my case, my blog gets indexed in five minutes after I publish my post.

Whenever you post on a blog, choose a keyword that you want to get your blog post ranked. The title of the blog post should contain that keyword

You should use that keyword within the first 25 words in the first sentence. Use the keyword as close to the beginning in the post as possible. Use the keyword in a natural manner in the content of the post but not more than 4%.

Use that keyword as anchor text for a link three or four times in the post. Bold the link. Use the keyword in the URL of that post like http:// www. Yourdomain.com/keyword, you can easily do this in both wordpress and blogger.

In Blogger, you should know that once you have published the post, you cannot change the URL. Blogger chooses the first few sentences from the title to include in the URL. So you should publish the post with only the keyword in the title. Afterwards you can always change the title again if you want but it should still contain the keyword.

If you do all these things that dont take more than ten minutes of your time you are telling Google; hey, this is the keyword for this particular post. You can use these very simple tactics to get your blog posts top ranking for keywords having 100,000 to 1000,000 competing webpages.
