Step 4 – Creating Your Content Site

So now you have a domain name, you will need hosting if you don’t already have it. If you are truly broke, Newwebsite.com allows you to try their services for free for 2 weeks, no strings attached at all.

I don’t know squat diddly about graphics or html really. I know enough to get by. YES, nice looking templates and
graphics do increase the price of your sale, but not by a huge amount, so if you are graphically retarded like I am don’t worry.

I get all my content site templates from http://www.oswd.org – It is completely free to use and most of the templates there you can use without even having to give credit to the original creator let alone pay for them. It rocks and some of the templates are great.

Let me give you another example of what a simple small content site of mine looks like.

http://www.signsofdiabetes.net/

So once you find a template, you need to start creating your content for your site. Using the above example of Hypertension, this is what I would first do.

First off I would write 17 articles on the above keywords. Each article should be 350 to 500 words in length. Each article should be on exactly the search term you are writing on. Much like bum marketing way of writing articles.

Each article should mention the keyword at least 3 times in the article and once in the opening paragraph and once in the heading.

So for example if I were writing on the term “what is hypertension” I would write an article with the title of the following

What is Hypertension? – A Quick And Easy Read

OR

If I was writing on the keyword/term Hypertension Treaments I would write an article with the title….

What Are The Best Hypertension Treatments Available To You

Always put the search term you are targeting with that article in the title. It really makes a big difference with search engine ranking.

So, I would sit down and write 17 articles on all the above topics. Once I had 17 articles staring at me in wordpad, I would put them into my html template.

Make sure, when creating your html pages that you name them right. If you’re page is on the keyword, “information on hypertension” your html page should be called information-on-hypertension.html

Nothing tricky here, just simple and basic SEO.

I make my sites with Adsense in mind. I have also tried other ways of monetizing my sites for the new buyer. I weave affiliate program links into my articles and I also put a recommended links page on my site so people can go and buy products I am affiliated with. This gives the new buyer many different ways to make money.

You should also create a simple sitemap for your site. You can see an example sitemap from a site I created below.

It is just a central area where all the articles on your site are listed and linked to. Make sure you link to it from your main page.

When you are done, all you have to do is upload your site to your webhosting server and your site should be done. It is a pretty easy process to follow.

So let me recap. What you are doing is writing articles for the 17 keywords above. Each navigation link on your site will lead to another new article. If you need to see what I mean visit my sites I sold at

http://www.onlineweddingplanning.net

and

http://www.signsofdiabetes.net

Each page is a new article on a search term we are trying to target.

So you would basically have 17 content pages on your site, including the main page. The main page is an introduction to your site and of course an article you wrote. Using the above Hypertensionsymptoms.net site as an example, I would write a basic intro to the site for the main page and then I would put my article on “Hypertension Symptoms” on that main page as well.

A few more example sites I’ve sold are

Modernpentathlon.net which has a top 10 ranking in google for the term Modern Pentathlon.
Backyardlandscaping.net which has a top 10 ranking in Google and MSN for the term Backyard landscaping
Historyofancientgreece.net which I sold for $300 and it took a day to create.
