In this article I will teach you how to create your home page properly. Developing your skills on computer handling and Internet usage To create your personal website and publish it on Internet you need to have basic knowledge of computers and Internet.

How can you transfer pages from your computer to Internet and vice versa?Detailed answers to all these questions reside in Appendices A and B of my ebook at http://www.netincome.gr/nm-ebook/ebook.htm. Or you can search for these terms on Internet. Time to create – Create your home page The content – The menu - The optimization procedure 1. The content You have 20 seconds to attract attention of your visitor. So you need: - A home page small in size, so that it will download fast in your visitor’s computer - A title that will present theme of your website with proper words - A subtitle that will invite him to read more. These elements must describe exactly what he is looking for. The first impression counts most in order to keep visitor and create right atmosphere. Now comes second phase. You have to stimulate his interest. What is in your website for him? How can “product” that you offer be of benefit to him? Here you must present your offer in two paragraphs. This is what I am offering to you and this will be your return, in case you decide to acquire my “product”. And then you will pass to third phase. You must create desire to your visitor to acquire your “product” in order to receive returns you have mentioned. Finally, you must lead him to act. You have to put in front of his face your offer and invite him to make call. Attract, interest, desire, act – The AIDA formula, you may have heard about in Internet Marketing and not only. If one out of ten of your visitors decide to join your affiliate program and become your co-worker, then you must be satisfied of your web page. See an example in my home page at http://www.free-work-at-home-job.com There are some words that have a special effect to readers. I suggest you use them in your phrases. Study them at end of this section, right below. 2. The menu The navigation bar must contain links to most important pages in your website. Must exist in every page. Must be placed in same position in every page. Must be same in every page. Initially your menu will contain link to home page, link to page that describes link exchange procedure and links to pages that contain links. In time, as you will be more familiar to creation of web pages, you may decide to improve your website by adding pages with useful content for your visitors, like tools, resources and reports. In fact you will have to do that. It is not an option. We will analyze this step in creation of your website soon. 3. The web page optimization procedure After inserting content and menu and formatting layout of your web pages comes task of optimization. Every page must be optimized for a certain keyword, which must be main theme of website or a similar one. The rules of optimization to be presented and analyzed in this section must be effectuated in home page in any case. This is obligatory. The first element to be optimized is metatags in “header” section of each web page. There are three metatags that affect relevance of a web page to its theme: - The “title” metatag - The “description” metatag - The “keywords” metatag We have talked about content of these three metatags previously in article “Part 2 – Search Engines Explained”. I will repeat here requirements about them: - The title must have 15 or fewer words. It must contain keyword of web page two times. - The description must have 25 or fewer words. It must contain keyword at least one time. - The keywords must have 1000 characters at most. It must not contain any keyword more than 6 times. Remember that title and description is what someone sees from your website in listing of a search engine, when he/she conducts a search. So, they must mean something and they must contain strong words. Also they must have to do with content of your website. The second element to be optimized is keyword density of web page. High search engine ranking requires your pages to maintain optimum keyword density. Keyword density is ratio of a keyword to total words on a page. Keyword density is a critical aspect of search engine optimization. To rank highly, your keyword density must not be too high or too low. A density of 1% to 7% is generally considered good.
