Designing your first website as an amateur may seem very
hard however they may seem there are software out there that will allow even
the novice to build a website without no knowledge of web design are coding.
From my personal experience every web designer should have some knowledge about
the basics of hand coding a website this gives them the opportunity to correct
errors if and when the need arises. Two of the most important factors to
consider when designing are Repetition and Clarity
A web user should never have to figure out how to use the navigation on a well
design website, navigation should look and feel the same on every web pages
this gives the visitor the idea that they are still on the same site. By
repetition I meant keeping certain visual elements in the same place Logos -
recent survey shows that about 90% of logos are placed on the top left hand
corner of all website if this is where your logo is on the main page keep it
that way throughout the entire site having site navigation links and certain
visual images in the same place on your site in the same order maintain the
similar look and feel throughout. One very cheap and easy way to promote your
website and is increase link popularity is by linking to other website with
high traffic volume. Do some research surf the web find some sites with the
same are similar contents as yours and request a link exchange. One popular
site is link Metro this site offers you to put
a members' link on your page then request they do the same.



However for good search engine ranking the relevancy of you link exchange must
be of relevance that means linking with site of similar contents as yours so
remember that providing information for your visitor is of more important that
just a good page ranking Add quality contents to your web site, a page with
good contents attracts search engines and encourages visitors to stay create
pages for feedback let them review your site give their ratings ask a friend to
review your site content before publishing look at the site from a customer
point of view and remember that when you publish your site it goes globally.

Find a topic that you are good at and write an article about that topic publish
it to other members website with a link back to your site this will encourage
visitors to your website at this point your may be able to convince them to
stay, make your paragraph short and straight forward try avoid too many lengthy
paragraphs chose the color and font size of your text carefully make sure that
they blend in.



If you try these methods and nothing works try altering the layout of your
website Just Remember if you try 99 times and fail tell yourself I have
not failed i just find another way not to do it

So you decided you need a website and you need
to hire someone to make it. Well lookout! You need to be very careful.
To stay with a reasonable budget and good service, please follow the
following 6 steps to protect yourself.

1} Customer Service: This is the most important step. Make sure you can
always talk to a real person. If you have to keep using a web support
form and phone messages. Then move on. Web design needs real people to
create it, and if you cannot talk anytime you want, then your doing
business with the wrong company.

2} Domain Registration: Make sure the company you pick can buy and
maintain your domain. Make sure they know how to set it up correctly
for your new website and they make sure it gets renewed every year.
3} Web Hosting: Every website needs to be hosted. Does your design
company have their own servers? Many do not. Its always nice to only
call or contact one company to handle your web design needs and your
hosting and Email needs.

4} Web Design: Websites do not need to cost you a second mortgage. Most
of the time, a simple site is all you need. But many designers build
sites as they see it. They normally do not think about how the site
needs to perform for the search engines and clients with slow internet
connections. A good designer will use basic technology and will be
aware of the search engine needs.

5} Web Maintenance and Updates: This can be a killer. Make sure your
design company includes updates and changes in their package, or you
can be nickeled and dimed to death at 40 to 80 dollars an hour. Look
out for gimmicks and games. Find a company that truly wants to be your
full website provider, including changes.

6}Web Marketing: This is just as important as customer service. You
can pay as much as you like for a website, but it is useless without
traffic. Make sure your design company builds a good marketable website
for you and provide you the services you need to get your site
submitted to the search engines. They may also have programs to help
with web pay advertising.
You need to ask every web design company about the 6 items above
and how much they cost. A truly good web design company will have all 6
items to their package. If not, you will be facing a web design
nightmare.

In early 2003, I started using Google AdSense. The first day, I
made $5 and was ecstatic. Then, in less than 18 months, I was
cashing $130,000 checks per month on the same site.
Google AdSense is an amazing and innovative product.
For those unfamiliar with the application, it simply displays
ads on your site based on the text found on each page. When
people click on one of these ads, you receive a percentage of
the revenue, rumored to be somewhere around 80 percent.
Overall, that’s a very low fee for the service provided.
And, there are other positives to running AdSense — it
relieves the pressure and headaches associated with trying to
sell ad space, collect advertising revenue and manage your
own in-house server and software.
But most people stop there. Satisfied with the little taste of
success that Google has given them, they never stop to consider
the negatives associated with using AdSense.
Editorial Control
By far, the biggest downside to AdSense is the lack of editorial control.
There are very few options to block advertisements and advertisers
you might find inappropriate.
For example, one of my wife’s friends in rural Nebraska sells a very
rare and expensive breed of dog — Kerry Blue Terriers. As soon as she
began running Google AdSense on her website, she started receiving
hate mail from her users. They accused her of making money from
people who sell fighting dogs. She was very confused. The only ads
she ever saw were for dog collars, leashes and typical pet products.
Since AdSense allows for geographic and site targeting, some users
located in certain cities encountered the offensive ads that she never
even saw. Ultimately, this damaged the overall trust she had built with
her readers over the course of many years.
One Click and Gone
With AdSense, the only way you make money is when people
leave your website. In my opinion, this is not a smart plan. You have
worked hard to get users to your website and to establish trust with
them. Now you are willing to send them to your competition for a few
pennies? Also, when a user clicks on an AdSense ad, a new window
does not open. That means if a user finds this new advertising page
offensive, useless or not what was expected,
they’ll close the window. That’s it —
they’re gone.

Part 2

Your Reputation
In my experience, Google’s general advice is to blend their ads into
your site as seamlessly as possible. The major problem that stems from
this practice is user confusion. What content is yours and what are
Google AdSense ads? Because of this, some users will try to hold you
accountable for offers being advertised on your site. I have had people
actually file claims against me for offers they signed up for from
AdSense advertisers found on my site. You really need to be careful.
What else can I do to make money?
There are several alternatives to AdSense depending on the nature
of your website.
Subscriptions
Forums and content sites can do well with subscriptions, easily set
up through PayPal. They are auto-renewing and compounding, creating
a hassle-free source of revenue.
Donations
For blogs, donations work fairly well. Some people basically beg
for a couple of bucks. Others try something more creative like, “Buy
me a cup of coffee,” redirecting the user to PayPal to send money
equivalent to a cup of coffee. These tactics might work for some.
However, with blogs I personally think the best way to handle donation-
type monetization is with “wish lists.” Amazon provides embedded
wish lists for webmasters so users can purchase the items you
want as a way to say thanks.
Affiliate Revenue
Pretty much every major online merchant has an affiliate program.
Dell, Google, eBay, Amazon, Target, HP, Dell and the list goes on. And
I bet at least one of them sells something relevant to your website. Did
you know that by simply linking to their site you get a percentage of
what your users spend there?
Direct Ad Sales
Direct ad sales are outstanding revenue generators, should your
site be big enough to command a direct advertising deal. There are
scads of direct ad sales strategies and formats, however. (More then we
have space to address in this article.)
Final Thoughts
In closing, I want to be clear — I am thankful for Google AdSense.
Without it I would have never got my start. And I have a feeling
they will help you get started too. But go beyond AdSense. Learn
from the ads. Who is advertising? Is it a direct advertiser you
can approach? Is it a middleman affiliate?
In the end you will realize, as I did, Google AdSense is
just the beginning of your online income. Once you expand
your horizons, you can make serious strides toward expanding
your bottom line.
