Getting Your Website Started

The first thing you want to do with your website is add your own content. It's ok to borrow articles from another source on occasion, just make sure you keep the bio intact of the source. Honestly, the best thing you can do is to write your own fresh content. Also, update your website regularly.

You will want to submit your website to search engines. And this can be done manually. Make sure you go to Google, Yahoo and Scrub The Web. You can always do a search for search engine directories to find more. You will want to look for the "Add url" section. Mostly found at the bottom however, sometimes they are at the top.

After submitting to search engines you will now want to add keywords. This is where you need to put yourself as a visitor. What words would they use to find you? Those would be your keywords. Keywords help pull your site up when people are searching for you.

Use services to create an online community. A great tool to use would be a forum. This would allow your visitors to become interactive with other members and adding great content as well.
Offer something of value to your readers for free. Maybe you have an ezine that they can download for free....The choice is yours. But by offering something to your readers will surely keep them coming back.
