BEST WISHES! If you are talking about making your own web site it is much to complicated to explain in here. Your best bet would be to either hire someone to do it (if you can afford it) or go online and do a search for how to create a web site. There are lots of free tutorials on the web. If you just want one to advertise your business and not for selling stuff it shouldn't be to hard. Register.com
It'll walk you through the process.
Otherwise, if you'd rather have the freebie to advertise. Try ebay or amazon or you can set a myspace blog website for your business. Good luck. The easiest way is to create a free Yahoo Local site. It lets you create your site and shows up in local search as well. If you register a domain name with godaddy.com they will give you a simple website to use links and stuff for free with your name. You can advertise it. That way for 10.00 a year plus whatever advertising costs you. I think it is a 4 or 5 page site. Great if you are not selling from it. Hi
There are a number of ways to get a website for your business:
1. Build it yourself using software like frontpage or dreamweaver. Advantage of this is you have absolute control and once you know how to do it you can build other sites. Disadvantage is that you have to buy the software, learn how to use it and then invest the time to build the site.
2. Get a hosting account that includes a website builder (such as Site Studio). You can then use that software to build and update your website. The only cost is the hosting cost (which you have anyway). However, you do have to spend sometime to work out how to use the software and your design is limited to the built in templates. Sometimes these sites come out looking pretty average (which might not be a great advertisement for your business). But, I reckon they are a much better option than having no website at all!
3. Get a professional to build it for you. At WebCare (www.webcare.com.au) we have fixed price custom web design packages starting from just $295 (or $695 with a content management sytem included - to enable you to edit your own content). If you get in touch, we can discuss your requirements - 1300 656 902 - and I can give you a proper quote based on what you need/want.
Best wishes
Melinda The following article will prove helpful to you in streamlining your SEO metatags in order to attract more Net traffic by higher search engine placement. There is no need to link to a directory website. These metatags will attract traffic to your website directly, not via another website which may be a mere directory shell.
The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.
Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.
You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.
Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or
DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.
A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.
Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which
should consist of no more than 60 characters separated
by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the "Description" which is
usually up to 41 words to form a complete paragraph which
best describes one's goods and services. It is not merely a list.
And the very last category - "Keywords" are also
somewhat limited to 15 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google's spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.
Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query
"sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave
out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net"
is ranked. It's on the FIRST FRONT PAGE [ranked #5]!
Again, Nazos.net's high web presence was achieved by
proper web design and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google's publication guidelines.
Good luck! |
