I need to put up a website - or a blog - but I don't know what would be best.
- I'd be publishing 1 to 3 entries a day, in two languages (on two separate "pages") - but not in a "blog manner" (Infact, I'd be directing towards a "real" blog too)
- I'd need to send a newsletter once a week and have a good "search" function
- I'd want it to be very well referenced by Google, etc
- I'd be putting in banners, advertising, affiliate programs, etc.

Do I need to set up a website for this or can I get a good result with a blog? At the moment my knowledge concerning html, css, cms, etc is not "professional", but I was aiming at setting up a website. Is a blog a better / possible way to go?

Thank you for your help !

P.S. Also - if I was to go the easy way - does anyone know if websites/blogs done with iWeb have any chance of being referenced?

You can have both together. Some web hosts offer blog tools (wordpress).

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

Where can i find someone who is a freaking rock star at SEO, ppc, affiliate programs type stuff, to promote my company when it gets up and running in a few weeks.

We're a debt settlement company, and we thrive on leads. I know how to do this stuff, i've done it before successfully, i am in the process of building the website right now and implementing the affiliate program , which will have 3 total tiers including yourself as tier 1. we thrive on good qualified leads, and we're willing to compensate very well.

I just really don't have time to make that a focus, and it's not something you can half-assuredly do. I have to run the company.

Of course, this person has to have been making 3-5k per month on their own with affiliate marketing type stuff, and SEO, adwords etc.

Find a way to contact me!

Here you go, Mitch

If any one has any information on this subject please let me know. I already understand how to make a website on an intermediate level. I just need the rest of the info. Thanks so much!!

First you will need to get a domain name for your website, then you will need to find a web host for your site.
Commission Junction at www.cj.com has a great affliate program and once you sign up with them you will be allowed to select which products you would like to sell on your website.
The website below has some great web hosts that you can read through and try.

Do I need a website? Any ideas on how much I should sell it? It's a women's guide to looking good and losing weight naturally. Thanks in advance!

You could have it listed at Clickbank.com. Then other people would promote it for you and you could split the earnings with them.

I have this goal that I haven’t put into effect. I am a homemaker in die need of funds. I thought by getting a domain name, a website, and hosting and advertise. I’m tryingto do what I know best and that’s gardening? I have this vision to get affiliate programs, google adsense, and any other advertisement that will pay. I’m also joined with those pay per click programs. I see you have to become a member to get the big money. All of this is kind of confusing, but all I have is computer to work with. PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY, I NEED TO MAKE SOME FUND’S, THIS MY LAST RESORT. I know about the scams get rich overnight crap. But tell wrong that everything can’t be a scam. At least 1 out of 1 million websites do work. Come on somebody you got to live like I do now, and point me in the right direaction. I just want to make enough to calm the bill’s down, until I get back to work. My intentions was to have fun with this laptop, but I need to pay this off. I am not lazy I can work, I just had a baby and looking for a few extra dollar’s. PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE ON SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY WORK? PLEASE!

Hi there,

I know where you are at. I see some of the answers here and I would like to give you my input. I have sitebuildit.com and it is very pricey but very good. If I were you, I would start out very slow and learn as you go without spending too much money. I have been on the internet doing this money thing for 7 years and have some good websites done….finallly

I would definitely try to start a blog at blogger.com first. It’s free and you can ad your adsense code on there and just start posting some good articles everyday about gardening. Make sure that you post some good articles on ezinearticles.com for the next 30 days. That will drive some excellent free traffic to your blog. Get a good domain name (it’s cheap) then forward that domain to your blog. You can continue to add books from amazon.com and other affiliate info there. Just don’t advertise using PPC’s right off the bat, it is very expensive.

Here is another idea. Go to ebay.com and search for “websites for sale” and there are many “gardening” websites already set up with everything you need, adsense, affiliates, amazon for a very reasonable price at auction. I was there yesterday and noticed this. Then after you purchase your site, make sure you continue to ad original content to your site. Someday, you can turn around and sell your site for a pretty penny after you have made some income!

best wishes and best of luck to you!

i need assistance , i posted here look for affiliate program .Well ! guess what now i have 5 website to advertise but i’m stuck with it , don’t know how to put up with it . Tell me what to do to make money?

I’m unsure exactly what your referring to is it adsense it’s self or getting adsense ads on your websites ?
either way I’m quite familiar with both, so email me and I can help you further.

I have a website "Joe's Garage Sale" Selling items like an online virtural garage sale. I have links to GOOGLE ADSENSE and have tried the affiliate programs with no luck (in the financial dept ect.) I need to get more web traffic. What should I do? I am trying to sell off my stuff to survive after a home fire/divorce ect. Needing the income badly. Any help would be appreciated.

Get this book at http://www.chadwilgus.com it will andswer any trafic question you have and much more, hope to take advantage of this info. not every will tell you how to get going with online traffic as they feel it creates competition. There are too many people on the web for anything to have competition. Good Luck

I joined an affiliate program, and I want to write a series of articles to market it, and have links at the ends of the articles leading to my affiliate site. I read that most e-zines don't allow links to affiliate sites and that I need to have my own website. Would it be as effective to have a blog and profile and have the links lead to that, and use a free blog site? (What about my profile and blog with yahoo for example)Then I might be setting myself up for more work because I have to also write in my blog, and keep that interesting also. What do you suggest?

if you are not ready to create a web site which cost upfront $$. you can use some free sites to create the page and move on once you make some money.

some good sites you can use totally free are:-

weebly.com
squidoo.com
hubpages.com

I make my first few sales via squidoo and slow move on to create my own site.

i need to make flash banners Giff banner all kinds of banners. I'm working on flash banners now! But i have to make a bunch in each size (its for my affiliate program I'm creating)but I'm so lost does anyone know were u could get flash banner templates in all kinds of sizes??

I don't know if they are what you want but I hope these websites help you

http://www.flashvillage.com/
http://www.bannerserver.com/

I think this is a scam,so be careful & stay away from this website.NO free……………………………

I agree with the first comment, too much to read.

Looks like a variation of the pop ups that promise a prize for completing a survey. The problem is, the odds of winning are not worth the amount of time it takes to complete the surveys.

These sites make money by referring you to web sites that pay for each visit. You have to click on an awful lot of websites for them to make enough to give away.
