Designing and maintaining a website isn’t very hard anymore. Whether you want to build PC Software or design Flash websites there are tools to help you do everything. Nobody need learn to hand code to do wonderful things with their own website anymore.

Truth is some of us (myself included) aren’t up to the challenge of designing anything more exciting than an exit sign. Graphic design is an art, and as the web has proven, it is best left to those with talent. Our solution is to get pre-designed templates from the people who know graphic website design the best.

There are many free web templates available online. You can get your hands on the ultimate free online marketing template from Template Monster. Search “Free Website Page Templates” to find many others. We suggest TemplateMonster, they have 1000’s of themed templates (click here) to choose from and their templates are easy to update.

With a MonsterTemplate updating your website isn’t difficult at all. You’ll need to install the following freely available Open Source software I linked below. Click each link, download the package and follow the included instructions to install. Look for a file called README if it doesn’t install on its own. If you don’t know what an installation option means your best bet is [OK]. If all else fails I will answer questions on the CJV Google Board.

Grab this free Open Source* web page editor (click here), this Open Source Image Editing Software (click here), and this Open Source FTP client (click here). Those are three simple yet powerful applications are available from the Open Source Community at no cost. You will use these to maintain your website. We’ll take a look at them when we need them. If you are adventurous you can fool around and get familiar with the tools. Possibly Google a tutorial or consult the HELP Files?

Your almost done but there is one more useful software no self-respecting web developer will be found without, and one you will use all the time to make things simple for yourself. If you are using Internet Explorer this is the time you must switch to Mozilla’s Firefox Web Browser. Not only will you be protected from almost every web page virus on the internet immediately, you will begin seeing websites in a whole new way, the way they were intended. Download the Firefox Browser (click here), install it by following the instructions.**

Once you’ve downloaded and installed Firefox we will get your second best friend (who’s your best friend?) in the world of website development, the FireFox Web Developer Toolbar (click here). Visit the link with your new Firefox browser and simply click install, once it is installed in your browser and visible you are done.

Without both the Mozilla Firefox browser and the Web Developer Toolbar Plug-In you will be at a major disadvantage when it comes to keeping your website content fresh and new. Tasks like adding new pages to your website or modifying the layout of existing pages are also simplified immensely with nothing but these free tools.

The more your page content changes the more attractive your site is to visitors as well as the search engine spiders. Keeping on top of web page design can and does become a headache and you want all the help you can get. These free tools are the next best thing to hiring a costly web developer of your own.

In the next newsletter we’ll start looking at a real website. We will introduce you to the building blocks of every web page, examine them in some detail using your new Firefox plug-in (make sure it is installed), and load up a free template for updating in your new web page editor. Once you see how easy it is you’ll have the confidence to start editing your site right away.

*Open Source software is your best friend on the internet. If you are looking for a certain type of software product it is likely one has been created and contributed to the Open Source community. GetWebActive has contributed their Affiliate Building software to the Open Source community. This means anyone can get a copy and install it on their website at absolutely no cost.

** IE users will see a big difference with Firefox. You’ll want to look around at the various options and find the ones you recognize. You can [File Menu >Import] your IE settings easily, including all your bookmarks. Never uninstall IE, just use Firefox as your browser by default from now on.

The GetWebActive Domain Referral Program is now in the pre-launch phase.
You can begin building your referral network now. Click here to join.
Please read the FAQ and Announcements below for more info.

What is the Domain Program?

We’ve opened our in-house domain registry and made it available to the public at http://Host.GetWebActive.com and combined it with an amazing Referral Program allowing you to grow yourself another recurring income stream online. You’ll earn $1 from every domain registration on your new website and receive all the referral links required to promote this program everywhere.

The program is actually a giant referral network of individual teams built through personal referrals. The $1 payment per registration is also paid out to 4 other GetWebActive referral team members as well. You will receive $1 in your account anytime someone within 5 teams* of you performs a registration.

A full $5 of every registration is distributed back to members of our sales referral team this way. It’s called network marketing and it is a well established business model that works and is used by many companies like Discover Toys, Avon, Pampered Chef and many others.

How does it work?

When you register for an account you will get a complete referral website. The page will welcome visitors with a personal message and offer your domain registration services. When a visitor successfully registers a domain name you and your referral team will each receive $1 from the payment. When a visitor to your page signs-up for the referral program themselves they are put in your referral network.

When they (or anyone visiting their page) registers a domain name both of you earn $1. When they sign-up a new member that person is also on your referral team and they’ll earn all three of you $1 for every registration they produce. This continues until the allotted sales commission of $5 is used up (or for 5 levels).

Why are you doing this?

To show you how network marketing really can work. To run an honest program that helps people who help themselves. Because if I can do it then so can you.

Have you considered how you can BOOST YOUR GOOGLE RANK with Keyword Targeting DOMAIN NAMES? Keyword targeting domain names can boost your rank in the search results at Google immediately.

Get a new online income stream registering keyword domain names

Imagine a business named ‘funtastico’, a local magic store and novelty retailer, their primary web address is ‘funtastico.ca’. Now that looks good in print media, is memorable, and is easy to associate with their business, but what do the search engines see? Probably nothing identifiable and certainly nothing worth indexing! Other than typing ‘funtastico’ in the search box, it isn’t likely to appear at the top of the results.*

Now think what someone new to the community would enter as keywords to search for magic supplies in Peterborough? Probably something like “magic supplies Peterborough” or “Peterborough novelty store”… you get the idea. What if funtastico’s website also appeared at the web address www.peterboroughmagicsupplies.ca and/or www.peterboroughnoveltystore.ca? That is a great way to ensure you get the best placement possible for your keywords no matter what your primary domain name happens to be.

When some or all of these keywords are included in the page title, in a header near the top of the page, and even included in an image tag and again somewhere in the content of the page then their site’s listing will climb dramatically against these particular keyword search results. Top this off with a few well targeted contextual back links and you’ll be seeing traffic on your site appearing as if by magic.

Why am I telling you all this? Because this is how you can start driving traffic to a website in numbers large enough to make a difference to you. Whether you are building your list or network or simply promoting a referral program you need lots of traffic to see significant results. The best place to get these visitors is Google. A well ranked listing is one of the best methods of attracting new visitors to a website; however it is well known most people rarely click past the first or second page. One of the easiest ways to have your site rank near the top of the results is to use your keywords in one or several additional web addresses that link visitors back to your primary site.

My next article will dissect another single element of a well planned SEO (Search Engine Optimization) program in less than 500 words. The following article concentrates on another element, and so on. Soon you’ll understand what basic factors make up your site’s rank in Google Search results and how with a few simple regular activities you can increase your rank in Google’s listings on your own.

Take care and happy surfing.

* Many things factor into your actual Google ranking, no single element acts entirely on its own to determine your rank. Google uses mathematical theory (based on computed ‘Eigenvalues’ for you mathematicians) and various weightings on each element to determine your rank. Unlike Yahoo (a manually edited directory) the rank of a specific site or page in Google is constantly subject to dynamic changes.

PS: GetWebActive.com is giving our premier Affiliate Builder software package to the Open Source community. Now anyone can build an affiliate network for their own business without purchasing any expensive software. Full Details will be available in this group soon in combination with the launch of our Domain Registry.
