The Basic Website Elements Of A Make - Money Website.

The basic website elements which are required for a successful website are three. A successful website must have good exposure, which is to say that ideally it must rank well with the search engines. Search Engines are those agencies such as Google, Yahoo and Bing whose business it is to determine a website's rank or place in the listings of all the websites on the internet. By ranking well a website will be displayed early among the listings that are shown when a surfer searches that topic. The second of the basic website elements is that to make money a website must attract a good traffic flow, which is to say a large number of visitors need to be coming to it. And the third basic website element is that it must convert enough of those visitors to paying customers to produce a decent income for you. To summarize, in internet jargon, it must

1. Rank well
2. Traffic well
3. Convert well

Well, now that you know what the three basic website elements are to make money with your computer the question is: "Where do You Get Them?" The answer is: "You Don't!" You Create Them! Successfully creating these three elements is the heart of being a "Webmaster." This creation is a true work of art. And it is indeed "work". Don't be fooled by ads that solicit your business saying that creating a website is easy or that they will give you a free website. Yes, there are hosts who will provide a free template and a domain, and perhaps register it for you. But this is a long way from creating a successful website.

Let me clarify some of the above terms, in case they are new to you.

A "template" is a pre-made design or format for the pages you will have on your website. A pre-made design is not necessary but is convenient if you do not want to design your own page format. What is necessary is of course that you have an attractive page design whether you make it yourself or use a template.

A "domain" is the space that your website will occupy on the internet.

A "register" is the legal documentation that you are the author of the site, that the site belongs to you.

And a "host" is the provider, the agent that arranges for your site's space on the internet.

It is obvious that each of these things is necessary for you're being able to produce a website online. However none of them can substitute for the work of art that is your biggest challenge - - - the website itself. By "website" here I mean the stuff, the substance, that constitutes the content of your website.

More than anything, the creation of good substance, the content, of your website is what will determine its success. With good content you will rank well with the search engines, and that in turn will give you the exposure you need.
