Getting people to visit your Web site can often be a difficult task,
especially if your Web site is small. There are several main things you
need to consider, and things you need to do, if you are hoping to get
some traffic to your Web site. These are not the only things you can do
to get traffic to your Web site, but they are a good start.
- Keywords
- Every page needs a keyword or keyword phrase. It's best to choose
that keyword or keyword phrase before you start writing the page. Decide
what your page is going to be about and write the page around that
keyword or keyword phrase. If your page is going to be about cat
collars, then make sure you use the phrase "cat collars" several times
while writing the page, especially in the first couple paragraphs.
- Title & Meta Tags
- When considering a title for your page make sure to use the keyword
or key phrase of your page in the title. If you are using HTML, then you
need to be concerned with meta tags. Make sure to use your keywords in
the meta description several times, and the title tags at the top of
your HTML at least twice, and put the keyword in the meta keyword area
too. Meta tags for a page that is about cat collars would look something
like this:
<title>Cat Collars - Cat Collars for your Precious Kitty</title>
<head>
<meta name="keywords" content="cat collars, collars, cats">
<meta
name="description" content="Cat collars for your cat. Your cat will
really love these cat collars. My cat tried these cat collars and really
loved them.">
</head>
- Good Content
- If your page is about something important, is written well, and
includes the right keywords it will probably do well in the search
engines. On top of search engines, other sites will also link to your
page if it is well written.
- Search Engines - Submit your pages to the most popular search engines. Go to each of the search engines and submit your pages to them individually.
- Similar Web Sites
- Find Web sites that are similar to yours and offer to link to their
site in exchange for a link back to your site. If they have a page for
links they will probably do it.
- Forums & Message Boards
- Go to forums and message boards that are about your site and answer
questions or offer advice or even ask questions. Create a signature
under your name for your message posts that links back to your site. If
people like what you wrote on the forum, they may click on your link and
visit your site.
- Update Regularly - If you don't
add content to your site, then why should someone keep coming back.
Update your site regularly with new content and watch your traffic grow.

Creating a Web site has never been easier. Google has again outdone
itself with Google Page Creator. There is a waiting list for Google Page
Creator right now and you must have a Google account to even sign up to
sign up for Google Page Creator. To get a Google account you either
have to know someone who already has one and have them send you an
invite or you can get a Google invite by cell phone if you have a cell phone with text messaging.
After
you sign up for an account with Google you will need to request a
Google Page Creator account. To get a Google Page Creator account you
need to go to the Google Page Creator
page. Enter your Google email address, that's the one you received when
you signed up for a Google account, into the box and click on "Add to
Wait List". Then you wait until you receive an email from Google Page
Creator telling you that your Google Page Creator account has been
enabled.
Once your account has been enabled, this could take
weeks or even months, you will be able to create your first Web page in
minutes. The simple to use point and click design will have you creating
great looking Web pages and and an entire Web site without really
thinking too much about how to do it. Google hosts the pages you create
with Google Page Creator too so you know your Web pages will be safe.
There
are 4 different layouts and 41 different styles you can choose for the
look of your Web pages. You can change the way your text looks too.
Choose different colors, styles and size for your words. Make them bold,
italic or change the font style. When you want to add text just click
on the page right in your browser and start typing. When you are ready
to publish your page just click "Publish" and your done.
This is
great for those of us who have very little time, energy or patience to
create a Web site and yet want one or need one. It took me only a couple
minutes to create my first page and you can do it too.
