...Keywords, Linking, SEO, Relevance, Theme, Market Niche, Content, Hosting..... design is a very small part in the midst of what really gets significant traffic.
Returning to my work in interiors last year, I decided to Build My Own Site.
I'd barely used the internet before, but had the time between careers. Wanting to see if I could do it, I also made it an informational site with ads and referral affliations to bring in revenue. Instead of paying someone else or having it cost me, the site can pay me. Good business I thought.
I searched hard through all the hype out there. Have you done that? It's insane - I avoid hype like the plague!
It's hard work getting it right. The learning curve was very steep for me. There is a lot of information to get through to make it work properly. I really thought initially that just any site would do, without understanding what it takes for internet success.
If you already have internet & site building skills, it certainly comes easier. Experienced people have achieved success faster that I am.
A State of The Art Site Building Program was the essential first step. I feel confident now to share my site's achievements and recommend this program.
- My site paid for itself (Google Ads) within a few months of SE optimization, linking, and keyword strategies.
- Daily average visitors - 250 & growing
- Daily average pages - 600 & growing
- Checks from Google
- Income from Product & Ebook sales
- Google page 1 rankings
- First page local listings
- Local Business Contacts & Bookings
Yes linking to Active Rain has contributed to SE rankings, but there are many other important factors to consider and employ.
There Is More To Success Than Web Hosting Yes there are simple little build it websites. BUT! If you don't have effective web presence, you won't be found. Any Web host can provide space, bandwidth, and uptime, but can they help you build a successful business?

Deborah, I'm looking over your posts and give you a LOT of credit. I leave the web stuff to my webmaster...and don't have the patience for it. I didn't even know there were Spy sites...and not sure I want to. I am thankful I have good rankings and hope to keep it that way :)
