How to get a free web site,free wesites,free web site
When looking for a free website, or even a paid website. You must first decide what its purpose will be. Do you want to sell a product? Just blog about something. Maybe socialize with your friends online. Most times you want to either sell online or let people know about your company or promotions that your store is running if you are going to build a website.
Let me explain. If you have a business that sells big shoes in the mall and you know that you can sell these shoes online if you only had a website. Now you search online, for free websites because you do not want to put to spend a lot of money, not knowing if this will work for you.
You find a free website builder and all you have to do is to purchase your domain name and host your site with the company that has the web site builder. Off you go to buy your domain name and since your stores name is Bigfoot, you want to have that name for your website. However, Bigfoot is already taken and you settle for Mikes Shoe Store instead. Named after you, of course. You buy your domain name and put your site together and it looks and works well because they had good tools and advice on how to put your site together. After one month, you are trying to figure out why your site has not made a single sale yet. So after some research you now know why you are not getting any sales, you did not submit your site to the search engines so they can find you. Well now that you completed that task, you wait another month and still no sales. As your frustration, levels get higher because you know people like these shoes and your site looks good and works fine and you go back and do more research. Now you found the answer, you forgot to optimize your site. This task is not as easy as you thought it would be. You have to put in Meta tags, have keywords, alt images, what the hell is an alt image? Well, more research and how to do this optimization stuff, and after another month you feel that you have it figured out. You have now fixed all of your problems why your site is not making any sales, and now you wait for the sales to show up. Well guess what, you guessed it, still no sales. What good is this web stuff if you cannot make any sales? Well you have spent months, some money, and a lot of time putting all of this together and you are very discouraged. Therefore, you decide to let the site go.
The problem is that you did not research your competitors online. You can do this by using free tools from Google. The first tool that you would want to use is Google. Go to Google and type in the word big shoe, when you do this, many sites show up under that search. When I checked there was over 56 million sites for that word which we will now call a keyword. Therefore, for that keyword big shoe you have over 56 million competitors to deal with. How long do you think it may take to get to the first page of Google so people can find your site? The next tool is Google keyword/traffic estimator. You can do a search for this tool and just put in big shoes for the traffic estimator and you will see that there are 74,000 searches for this keyword every month. Therefore, you were right that people would buy your shoes because they are searching for them, 74,000 times per month. However, you do not have that name or that keyword on your site optimized for that search. No, you have Mikes Shoe Store. If you use that keyword in the traffic estimator tool, you will see that it does not even show any results for Mikes shoe store. Therefore, you picked the wrong name. now if you would have used the free tool for keywords and typed in big foot, it would have gave you many other ideas and one of them would have been big feet. Therefore, I checked big feet with a Google search and this is what came up. Only 105,000 competing sites. A lot less than the 56 million for big foot. Now for the remarkable information. Using the Google traffic estimator, there are over 823,000 searches for bigfeet. What does this mean; let me break it down for you. A lot less competition, many more searches, which turn into sales as you, optimized your site for the keyword big feet. Go check out the keyword big feet on Google right now and you will see the site bigfeet in the number two spot. Guess who is making sales with big shoes. One more note with this keyword, bigfeet. If you have noticed, I did not spell it big feet I put both words together. If you check, big feet there are over 22 million competing sites and again the search for that term is only 74,000 per month. Sometimes you have to be creative when finding the right domain name.
Well I hope this gives you a start with your new website.
