Sensational Web Design Advice

February 20th, 2009

Are you one of those people who would love to have your own personal or business website, but feel you are unable to afford it? In this article, I explain about how to obtain a quality web design on the cheap. There are also some superb website promotion tips.

How to obtain a website on the cheap.

Many people wrongly believe that you have to spend a huge amount of money to obtain an internet prescence. In my opinion for a basic website, you should only be looking to pay around £100, to have a website built. The amount of competition in the internet web design sector means that there are some great deals to be found, if you are willing to be patient and to make lots of phone calls.

To find these deals, my advice would be to first of all, look on the auction website, ebay. I have seen many people offering affordable web design services here. You can also try internet search engines or the Yellow Pages.

Website promotion tips.

I am sure that most people who have a website are looking for an increase in traffic to their website or an increase in their google page rank. In general the higher the page rank you have, the more visitors you are likely to get.

To increase this page rank it is important to build up the number of backward links your website has. You can do this by e-mailing other websites preferably in the same business sector as your own and asking if they would be willing to exchange links with your site. This however can be very time consuming and at times can have little reward.

I believe the best way of promoting your website, which is also cost free, is by writing articles like the one you are reading here. By submitting these articles to article websites, other webmasters are then able to use your article on their website, thus giving you an extra link. This is because you are able to add your information and web address in the author bio at the bottom of the page. You also obtain a one way backward link from the article website which accepted the article.

You may also want to consider google adwords. This is a form of pay per click where you pay to appear on the right side of the search results in the paid advertising section of the google search engine for a specific key phrase. Always remember not to spend more on the advertising than you are likely to earn from the website.

If you would like to earn extra money from your website you may want to consider google adsense. This is where google put ads onto your website. When your visitors click on the ads you get paid.

Being a webmaster is a much more important job than most companies would dare admit. Webmasters are responsible for the company web presence on every level, from the website copy to the web and email server administration. Additionally, webmasters are often tasked even more duties that should be considered unrelated responsibilities for the position of webmaster. These extra duties often will include online as well as offline promotion and marketing, search optimization, advertising, application programming, graphic design and/or brand management. The role of the webmaster has grown over the years and webmasters need to grow with the company's expectations or the website will not succeed. For instance, it is easy to get banned from the search engines for not knowing the correct methods to use to optimize a website for a better results ranking from the search engines for any particular search phrase.

This is why Webmastery is here, not just to offer direction and assist webmasters, but to do so masterfully, as you expect of yourself, or as your company expects out of you.
 

Since I am an American and know only American English and SEO methods, I specialize in American Webmastery. Hence the domain name, Webmastery.US.
 

However, please note that often both sides of the coin are presented here. Some webmasters swear by Linux and we offer articles by such authors to give insight to their creativity. Others are die-hard Microsoft software fans and use Windows based servers. Despite the bias, each system has its own advantages, and such articles are reprinted here for their positive contribution to those platforms, not to enforce their bias. It is we that have to make the final analysis.
 

This difference is even more apparent when I am showcasing and promoting white hat SEO (search engine optimization) and a black hat SEO article is published here, which method if followed could get a website banned from the search engines. The reason I allow it a small platform is to showcase its apparent and obvious idiocy in contrast to white hat SEO techniques. And as I cannot edit these articles in order to correct them, I let their illogicality and stupidity stand on their own for a time without any edits. But in case their spaminess is not apparent, I often do not let such articles stand long.
