When most people build a web site, they think one simple thing. "If I build it, they will come". How further from the truth this is.
Little do they know that they need to do some homework before constucting their pages. It's not a simple endeavor, but with the right software, the process eliminates all the headaches associated with building a successful web site.
Let's start with the web site and what search engines are looking for. CONTENT! Good content will always do well with all the search engines for one simple reason. The web wants sites that are informative and lots of it.
To get to the top, you need good content unless you are willing to pay your way to the top. Which by the way, is not viable for most folks. So how do I build good content?
Good content comes from something you know. Write about what you know and be passionate about it. Than add some more! And keep adding more. Build a good content oriented site that offers good information that people are looking for. This is the foundation for your web site.
Next comes the traffic. It does take a little time, but eventually the traffic will come if you have prepared your content the right way and have continued to build the site. You can push the traffic along with a cost effective click campaign that will deliver targeted traffic to your site. This is especially good if you are selling goods off of your site.
Once the content is built, the traffic is starting to come around, than you are ready to presell customers to the final step of the sale. It's a simple process that most people neglect. They first want to jump to the end result before doing the necessary steps to lay the correct foundation for success. C-content, T-traffic, P-presell, M-monetize your site. CTPM!
One of my previous web sites did not do very well because I did not take the time to use the right software, in the most cost efficient manner, with the right approach. However, even an old dog like myself can learn a few tricks!
There is software out there that supplies a total package for the person who wants to build a successful web site. It makes building web sites very easy and the software does all the work for you.
It eliminates all the headaches such as submitting to search engines, writing meta tags, and correct placement of keywords, etc. It even gives you updates on what is happening and what you need to do to correct any problems.
The software is called S.B.I. which stands for site-build-it. It is by far the most useful software that I have ever come across on how to build a web site. 62% of all S.B.I. users are in the top 3% on Alexa rankings and 35% are in the top 1%! The software works for you so you can concentrate on building the content.
With the right approach and the right software, you can build a very successful web site that you will be proud of and will enjoy for years to come.
Bill Bathe- I am a former major league ball player who played in 1989 world series with the San Fransisco Giants. I also played in Venezuela and Japan. I have built a successful web site about baseball using S.B.I. After researching over the years how some web sites do well and some don't, it was an easy choice to use S.B.I. You can learn more about that software at http://www.pro-baseball-drills-and-equipment .com, than clicking on the 'Site Build It' link located at the bottom of the navigation bar. I did, and the results speak for themselves. Also, if you have any questions, just visit my website and send me an email.
