How to Create a Successful Website

If you are trying to make money online your best bet is to create a website and have good promotion. If you don't have good promotion nobody will see your site and be able to buy anything. You need to be on the first page of popular search engine the most important being Yahoo. I have been through several companies and the best promotion I have found is Yahoo Sponsored Search. You bet a certain amount per click you get to your site. You can bet $.10 per click. Just remember to read all fine print because these people might not actually buy your things. It's the best search optimization site i've seen. You can easily see your page on the first page of search results based on the seach terms you use. You will want to use good key words. If you have a website which sells clocks for example, you will have a lot of competition to get the best search result under "clocks". This means you will have to over bid them on price, and these people are usually stores which can afford to pay thousands of dollars towards optimization.

I would highly recommend creating your business as an Ebay store. You will not have to pay for people to see your site because you're listings show up on ebay. People can see your store and look at each item. You wont have to buy a domain name. It's very easy to create your own store and you can list each item on your store and track everything. You can click on manage my store once you have chosen to build your store. The basic store costs $15.95 a month. There's another version which is about $20.00 more. The next version is around $400.00 per month. With a basic store you can customize your pages and add pictures of items. You only get 5 pages and 3 pictures per page with basic. If you have a lot of items you wont want an ebay store. You might think of just listing all items on ebay and not have to buy promotion for your site. Targeted and untargeted traffic does not work. I have gotten thousands of page views per day and never made a single penny. It's a waste of your time and I wouldn't go this route.
