The resource page for web designers and owners. I will be putting information here for people like me that use small sites and want a personal site. For those that think you need a small team to do a website look at this picture I nicked from somewhere:
I'm one of the Hundreds of Millions ! Now that is traffic! lol But there are billion of people that don't even have a computer yet - but they will! So the 1 million "professionals" remember we out-number you and buy your web apps! Today, I made my email address at the bottom of the page less bot friendly - the blue pill spam is getting annoying. More stuff for designers and owners coming soon on this page. Come back soon! The buttons at the top of the page and my logo I got from www.cooltext.com - good site!
Your own website. It took me a while to get used to using FrontPage. It is probably the easiest to learn and it has shared borders - so everything in the border at the top of these pages and bottom is carried over to all other pages. When I do a new page - I can also carry over the background from the Home Page. I can embed links easily just as text like a link to the Talk-Talk page is just a right click and then select the TalkTalk page. I tend to save my pages to a folder called TalkTalk in Mywebs. Mywebs is in the My documents folder if you're using XP. Then when I've finished the update I upload it to the server. That is called publish on the menu! I have 3 views, normal, HTML and preview. I'm using normal to edit. I can't see where the adsense is and that makes it a little difficult. To add adsense or the code for pictures on photo bucket I put an X where I want the code to go. For example if I want an advert to be centred I centre the X. Then switch to HTML and paste the code next to the X! Then preview it all works in preview mode. I can also preview the whole site in Internet Explorer or Fire fox. I use Internet Explorer - some pages have background music and that doesn't play in Fire fox. I only have adsense on this site - it is so small. Adsense tells me which pages are popular and which aren't! It gives me lots of statistics. It makes a little money. But you can make quite a lot of money from adsense if you have a bigger site and sign up with other agencies like Trade doubler. When you look at sites - look at the bottom of the page for affiliates and you get information there about the agency that site uses. On this site I've moved most of my images to Photo bucket to save space and the video is mainly on Youtube. After you watch a Youtube video click menu and select another! To activate your TalkTalk web space go to www.mytalktalk.co.uk and log in with your phone number@talktalk.net and it will ask you to log in again! Do the same again. When you get to the dashboard select webspace. Now you will be asked if you want to add webspace and you type the name of your site between the www. and the Talktalk.net . www.TalkTalk.net is the top level domain. You get a sub-domain of that. Like mine is www.Mike10613.TalkTalk.net . Think carefully about the name. It's a good idea to do a logo too. You can do a logo easily at www.cooltext.com You need a unique name if you can - so people will remember it and it will be something people can type in to Google and find you easily. Try typing the names you think of in to Google to see if anyone else thought of it before you! Then you need traffic and to get on the search engines. if you send me a email with your logo. I'll give you a link on my web ring page and you do the same for me. All the bots from the search engines will follow that link and index your page. The bots from Google will visit very quickly, then Yahoo, MSN, and a few more. I get around 1,000 new visitors a month - so if your site looks interesting they may take a look! Last of all click the "This site recommends Google adsense" advert to sign up to adsense. You get the codes to paste in for adsense. Save them to text files - so you don't have to keep going back to adsense for the code and paste it in in HTML mode for the adverts. Email me for advice before signing up. It is a little complex and the more advice you get - the better. You can also put adsense on blogs at Blogspot. Each page of you site becomes a channel and each blog a channel too and you can monitor how well each one is doing on the adsense site. I actually had to go to the Google site to get the referral code for this page. There are more things to refer now and more adverts - so I will have consider changing some! It pays to keep up!
One of my latest ideas; now I have a decent camera is to link pages to photo bucket and save space. I only have 15 Mb and that gave me 22 pages. I'm now nearly up to 30 pages! It's fairly easy, upload your images to photo bucket - then they supply the code for you to paste where you want the picture. I'm doing quite large pictures and given them a page of their own now. I saw a website where the guy did a search for sexy pictures using Google and put them all on a website categorized and made cash from the advertising. Great idea - why didn't I think of that? The above advert will take you to where you sign up for adsense. The rules are a little complex though and so if you intend to sign up, you can email me first and I'll give you some tips! It is in my interest to help anyone who uses that advert - I am referring you. I want you to do well. You can make a little cash by running a web site or blogging or both. Adsense also gives you a lot of statistical information about what is popular and what isn't.
On this page most of the adverts are adsense for content. They will display differently in different countries. I can't recommend them. I don't know what they are! On preview not long ago they all came up in Japanese! Now on preview I get lots of adverts for something I won't even mention - but I would definitely not recommend! The adverts that look just like words are links units and they can be quite handy. You click a link unit and it takes you to a page of adverts on that subject and helps you find what you're looking for. So I can have content adverts and links units. I'm allowed 3 of each on each page of a web site or blog. I would try www.blogspot.com and sign up for that to do blogging. Write about your passion. It may be your life, your holiday, your special interest, your hobby - whatever - as long as it is interesting! Each blog has it's own URL. That is it's own address. So I have links to all mine on my Blogger page. Blogger and Blogspot are the same thing! The silver advert above is a referral advert. I'm not sure how many of those to a page I'm allowed. I must find out. A new thing to the UK is referral adverts to companies and not just Google. I'm just beginning to add those to this site. If you have FrontPage and some webspace from your ISP - you can start a site. You can make some money from the advertising. One lady is making over $100 a month and looks forward to her cheques! Her target is a $1,000 a month - that is around £500. When she hits that target she says she will try for $5,000 a month! But if it helps offset your broadband bill and is interesting - that is something.
I have inserted an advert for referral. It should be for discounted prescription glasses. Glasses are expensive and that is something that interest me. I want some sunglasses - that are prescription - preferably Ossie Osbourne or John Lennon type - round ones! lol. But I can recommend the other adverts - but I may be able to recommend this one in the future if I buy from them. I just ask before you start to use adsense - you send me an email and ask for some advice and use my referral advert! It is a good idea to get your site ready with lots of content and good keywords. Keywords are what the bots look for. I've mentioned adsense on this page a lot, prescription glasses and sun glasses and so hopefully the content adverts will relate to those keywords - differently in different countries of course.
Don't forget you can go to http://pages.Google.com and get a gmail account and 100 Mb of web space free - and put adsense on and make cash. Send me an email for a few tips. Googlepages is a little slow compared to doing this site - but with practice - you will probably get better. You too can be an infamous webmaster! LOL
