How to Start / Create Your Own Website: The Beginner's Guide
Although broad-info.blogspot.com contains guides for a wide variety of issues faced by a webmaster, new or old, none of them provide a step by step A-Z guide for getting started with your website. As a result, I'm often asked by people who are absolute newcomers where they should start. Having an encyclopaedia in your hands is not much use if you don't know which articles you should read first, and which next. This tutorial attempts to fill in the gaps by providing you an overview of the web creation process from the beginning, linking to selected relevant articles on ritemail-adsense.blogspot.com that you will need to read
The Essential Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Your Own Website

The first thing you need to do before anything else is to get yourself a domain name. A domain name is the name you want to give to your website. For example, the domain name of the website you're reading is "ritemail-adsense.blogspot.com". To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name.

Webisite Promotion Guide
Very often we receive emails with questions how to promote new website and get more visitors. While it's easy enough
creating new website from zero, everything becomes much more complicated when it comes to website promotion, online
advertising and traffic. There is no wonder, because website promotion requires lots of skills and experience, and not
all webmasters know how to start.
This guide was written to help you attracting more visitors and increasing website traffic. It should be useful for
newbies and advanced users, because this guide covers most aspects of successful site marketing and most of methods
are explained step by step. However, if you believe some methods are above your technical skills, don't worry. Just
skip these methods and continue to other. So enough chit chat, let's get started!
#1 – Search Engines Traffic.
Natural (or organic) traffic is type of traffic coming from all major search engines. If any visitor searches for some
kind of information and finds your site in results, you get organic traffic! Unfortunately, it can be really hard
(depending on your niche) to get website listed in the top of search engines. So one of things you may want to do –
submit your URL to all major search engines manually. Usually just visit any search engine (where you want URL to be
submitted) and type something like "submit URL" into search box. Engine will surely return a page where you may submit
your URL for indexing. If your sites contains sitemap file (like sitemap.html or sitemap.xml), be sure to submit sitemap
file as well - it will speed up whole indexing process.
#2 – Links Exchange.
External links never hurt. The more websites will link to you, the more traffic you will get. It's that simple! Swapping
links is easy enough. All you need to do – find related websites and contact their webmasters asking to exchange text
links with you. Ask webmaster to add your link to his site, and do the same for him. However, try exchanging text links
with high quality sites only. Having links on junk site (which has low number of visitors) will not help much. It's better
to have one link from big website instead of having 10 links from tiny sites, remember it when looking for links exchange
partners. If you want to know what is the easiest way finding links exchange partners, do this - visit www.dmoz.org,
select category related to your website, and then simply email webmasters of sites you like. Another way to find link
partners is searching on Google.com for your top keywords. For example if you are willing to rank for "blue widgets",
go to google.com and do a search for this keyword. You will get a list of top websites now try to contact owners of these
websites and request link exchange.
#3 – Link Directories.
There are thousands of link directories on the Internet. Some of them are free, and others are paid. This time we will
focus on free directories only. Having links on directories not only helps increasing search engine rankings, but also
help getting more visitors who come from directories to your site directly. The biggest free directory on the Internet
is dmoz.org, but it accepts only very high quality websites. If you believe your site is really high quality, try
submitting it to dmoz.org. Also you can find other directories easily. Just go to Google (or another favorite search
engine) and type "free link directories", "link directory", "backlinks directory", "links exchange directory" or
something similar into search box. You will find hundreds of link directories waiting for your submission!
#4 – Social Networks.
Social bookmarking networks works in similar way like link directories, but there are some differences too. The main
difference from link directories is popularity. Social networks get millions of visits per day, so you may get more traffic
too. However, to become successful in social networking, your site must contain high quality content. When you submit your
URL to social site, other visitors can rate it. If rating is high, your URL is moved into main page where more people can
see it. Adding links to social networking sites also will help getting better rankings in search engines. This work is
pretty hard, so you may submit URLs manually or use any automated social bookmarks submitter software – it's up to you.
And here is the list of top 30 social bookmarking sites (where you may submit your URL) - http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social30
#5 – Forum Traffic.
There are thousands of webmaster forums around, and most of them have special sections where members can reveal their
websites for reviews and criticism. After posting a message about your website, you will get not only a direct backlink,
but also professional tips and criticism from other community members. So you will know what needs to be improved. However,
be sure to read forum rules before making any post (especially if you are a new member to forum). Different forums have
different rules, and if your message will not comply to these rules, your account will be banned and message deleted. It's
better to spend minute reading basic rules, instead of posting message with your URL and getting everything deleted shortly.
If you want to find forums where you may submit website for review, use "webmaster forum", "site showcase", "show your
site forum", "site reviews forum" and similar terms in search engines – you will surely find hundreds of forums waiting
for you.
#6 – Signatures.
Many message boards, blogs and other websites allow visitors using signatures. If links in signatures are allowed
(once again, read forum rules first), add one or more links (most sites allow adding up to 3 links in signatures) in your
own signature. Once you will post a message, signature with backlinks to your site will be automatically inserted below
message. Nice and easy way to build traffic, isn't it?
Well, there are many more ways building traffic and attracting more and more visitors every day, but these tips should be
really good start point for most new webmasters. Yes, there are even bad and unethical ways of website promotion and money
making online, but we will not cover these strategies at the moment. However, we'll try updating this guide often to reflect
the latest changes on the Internet and deliver you the best results possible. Don't worry if you don't see the results
right after starting – experience will come
AdSense Directory
While Google's AdSense program may be considered as a lucrative
venture for web authors and developers, an AdSense directory, on the
other hand, may arguably be regarded as a reliable source, final
product, on how to earn money online. Just from the layout and the
list of topics and categories included in an AdSense directory, one
can already have a clue on how many people are visiting the site and
how much profitable the entire business is.
Basically, an AdSense directory works like any other kind of
directory; it lists down things people usually look for under several
categories. A website starting out as an AdSense directory may have
few categories at first but once visitors pour in and the number of
clicks increase in the site, categories may pile up as visitors
request for more information and things in the directory.
The aforementioned outcome may be seen as both advantageous and
disadvantageous to both creators and users of the AdSense directory.
On one hand, the increase in the number of visitors and clicks could
mean more profits for the directory and more stability for the site,
in terms of visitors -- thanks to the right keywords. On the other
hand, the directory could function less like a directory since not all
information for the keywords and categories are automatically or
necessarily provided.
With the growing number of sites posted all over the net, doing
business on the Internet may result in saturation, and hence, less
visibility of other relevant sites. Website owners even have to
compete just to enhance traffic flow and volume as well as promote
their sites. Given these challenges, it may be best for any online
directory to not just have the right AdSense tools but also the
appropriate and important information to serve its proper and primary
function, and be a truly helpful guide for those searching data on the
Internet.
