What is involved with setting up a web-page?

I am interested in setting up a web site that has sponsored links on the page. a few questions i have are:

How do you choose a good host for the site?

How do you get your site to come up on a search engine when there are so many other sites out there?

Can you really make a lot of money from having this kind of site?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

A1. Finding a good host is probably not so hard, but what is more difficult is sorting out what each one offers for the money they charge you for hosting your site, so shopping around is the best answer and although this is time consuming it has to be done in order to get the type of hosting package you want at a price that suits you.

A2. It is very easy to get your site out there, you submit it by clicking on submit your site, have a look at the bottom of the yahoo home page and you will see that text, however that is only submitted to yahoo, you need to submit it to several crawlers, serach engines, search the web for site submission software some will charge but a lot are free, I found the free submission software works very well. More importantly in this matter is the name of your site, and the keywords you use which should be the words you think the majority of people will type into the search box of their home page when looking for their information. so you need to try to pick your keywords to match what you think they will type in, therefore your site will come up in their search results, making it likely they may click on your site and so give you plenty of visitors which is what you want if you are carrying advertising links. Think carefully and also allow that people will often mispell a word so include the words mispelled in your keywords also to allow for this. For example if a person was looking for Accommodation they might spell it like that or Acomodation OR Acommodation etc etc.

It will take search engines a good 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 weeks to pick up on your newly submitted site, as time goes on it will get better, and don%26#039;t forget you need to submit it at least once per month or per 6 weeks, to keep it up there, submit it to new engines and also to the engines you have already submitted it to.

A3. I don%26#039;t know if you can make a lot of money or some money from your intended type of site, I have a site but it is just a personal site, containing my own poetry, help with word, help with excel, and general info about my area where I live, nothing exciting, I don%26#039;t entertain banners or ads

Just as a matter of interest, Microsoft%26#039;s Frontpage Express is a good application and is easy to use to create your first website, you don%26#039;t have to learn html (hyper-text markup language) it%26#039;s all click and choose sort of application. (it will get you started) of course if you already know html then this is irrelevant.

I hope some of that helps, and good luck with it, if you hit the million let me know.

It really depends on your needs. You will want to find a host that has reliable servers, good techinical support, a good reputation. I use 1%26amp;1 servers myself.

If your site has good and relevant content, eventually the search engines will index it. It doesn%26#039;t mean you%26#039;ll immediately get top search results, but keep working at it. Quick fake SEO tricks do not work, and often will result in your site being removed from search engines.

You can make money from online ads. Google Adsense is really popular. However, you can%26#039;t really get rich unless you are one of the major internet sites out there, getting billions of hits. Most people just don%26#039;t click ads ... and a lot of people have software to automatically remove them.

Other Replys:starting a web page is not difficult. a good chart of hosts reliable and affordable is here%26gt; http://www.interkeys.com/tophosts

to get listed in the search engines, make sure to link every page up correctly. Don%26#039;t worry about this, as long as your pages are linked up, the search engines will find your page. You will notice hits from googlebot and yahoos crawler as soon as your site is up for about a week. And if your content is good, (make sure keywords are relevant) and popular, you will get good results in the search engines.

You can make a lot of money %26gt; the costs of an internet biz are really cheap. You could be in business at ~$10 month. Free merchant tools available at paypal.com
