Hi travel,I just started my 6th website and I'm trying to market it with very little this time.My other websites do well so I'm not going to mention them because I'm trying something new(in case it bombs),but I've been going to free weblink sites a good one is on my new website mediakingglobal.com it's a good place for free exposure,I've been getting about 50 hits a day from this site alone(you'll find all you need),myspace,free ads,free submissions world wide,my other sites average about 350 to 650 on a good day,this site from free exposure is starting to average 60 a day,its tough getting hits but keep on trying eventually you'll win.

From a geek/nerd standpoint, this webserver is dedicated. I built it myself and I run it myself out of my own home and I just pay for the internet bandwidth.

It runs on a Unix OS with Apache, PHP, MySQL, and BIND. All opensource.

Something you too, can do yourself.

I will check it out! Thanks for the tip!!

That site is fun. I reccommend it to everyone to drive traffic to your site.

mediakingglobal.com


I will give it a few days then post here to let you know if it drove more traffic my way. Stay tuned....

Noooooo!! I couldnt handle being there 24/7 and I worked full time. I didnt want to give the power to any admins or mods or else there would be havoc all over!@!!! I just closed it down......but could open it up anytime!!!

Being a Web Design and Interactive Media major, the first thing I notice on the site is the Comic Sans. That's a BIG no. Comic Sans is the WORST font to use for a body text. You want to use a good serif font such as Verdana, Arial, or Helvetica. Decorative fonts are no good for body text.

The links on the left should be consistent in the rollovers, pertaining to color.

For the advertising, I recommend AdSense, or something of the sort, and make sure you use SEO. If the search engine doesn't know about your site, neither will the world.

can you explain SEO alittle more?

thanks

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It's basically optimizing your website for all the search engines. Search engines work with little robots called "spiders". They crawl around the net and look at tags in your code called, "meta tags". In these meta tags you'll have keywords, and from there, the spider looks for those keywords in your code. However, your site can get banned from search engines if you are found to be cheating and using the words out of context, or one after the other. You can find tutorials on SEO all over the net, just run a google search on it.

I have 10 sites of my own. They would do well if I would do my part in promoting them and all.

Spiders haven't done any more than glance at meta tags for almost 8 years.

There are many thing to covers with regards to SEO.

Word density
Markup
Title tags
Semantic site structure
Sitemaps
Reciprocal links

The list goes on and on and on and on.....

There is no SEO golden bullet.

Try these two links for some more info (found via Google, dunno if they're good or not):

I work on websites quite frequently for my work...somehow making my own seems...bleh. I don't really have anything I'm motivated enough to say to put up my own site.

since you already know alot about them...it would be easy for you and you could make money off of ads...

I have to make a few changes to make it better SEO. New stuff I learned. Also have to redo my web design portfolio site.

Well, it'd be easy enough to put a site together, but maintaining a site is a lot of work. Hell, even generating a site with interesting content is a ton of work, much less attracting ad-worthy amounts of traffic.

Hi All,

I have a website and I've done pretty good in rankings, but I am having problems figuring out how to use Adsense on a totally php theme since my site is wordpress.
