Many of us have dream about starting a web site. In my experience I recall being in high school and day dreaming about how great it would be to have my own chatting service. I dreamed of a site with that ever popular space wallpaper, you know it’s black with little stars on it.1. Keep in touch with distant family and friends. You can create a very simple site where you can up load pictures of holiday parties and family gatherings. A calendar would be a great feature to have. Posting birthdays and anniversaries is a great way to have people coming back to your site. 2. Having an online resume is a great idea. Especially if you are an artistic technical person. I know plenty of artist that take advantage of this by creating beautiful resume. Now keep in mind you want to have a nice mix of style and usability, this is your resume. I would not suggest using a wild color scheme or pop ups. 3. Web presence for your local business. I love restaurants that have a copy of menu. You can also do a history of how your company came together. You can also sell your goods and services. Paypal has a free shopping cart that you can use. 4.

Here’s “How-To-Do-It Guide” for driving search engine traffic right to your website.I only speak about methods I have used and that worked well for my business. There are a lot of people out there who will steer you in wrong direction because they are just regurgitating old information that might have worked years ago. I’ll help you discover what’s happening right here, right now. Let’s get started with plan. Your first step is to define your target market. The better you are able to define your niche, better your future clients will be able to find you and your products or services. Next, you want to get very specific about what you’re going to market on your webpage and make sure that it’s congruent with our next step. When a person finds you on a search engine, you have a window of only 3 to 5 seconds to convince them that you are exactly what they were looking for. Make it crystal clear what you offer. If your meaning is unclear, prospect will jump to next site and you’ll lose that business. The following step is to brainstorm your keywords - keeping in mind your target audience. How would they search for me? What would they look for? Don’t focus on how you identify yourself. The closer you are to your target audience, more hits you will get, which equates to more customer traffic. The more specifically you target, better off you are. You’re not going to have success if you list yourself too generically, there is too much competition and you’ll be lost in crowd. Once you have established your target market, define what specific categories you should be linking to and add them as part of your navigation page. A linking strategy is very important for building your link reputation. Links to your page will count towards link reputation and link popularity.
