Building your Website

Shopping Carts
In order to develop your businesses e-commerce capabilities you will need an online shop. There are a multitude of options available via the internet and it can be very daunting when you initially start to look, this short article is aimed at giving you some indication of what you should be considering when you are looking for the shopping cart that best suits your needs.

Web Site Templates
Starting a new web site, or redesigning the old one can be a time consuming task, you sit there and move things, add things and before you know it it has taken you hours and still doesn't look quite right. One of the easiest methods is to let someone else do the creative design and then you just have to make it yours by adding your own logo etc. There are a number of web sites that offer single web page templates and even full website templates.

Ebay Stores and Shops - A quick Website Sales Solution
Wherever you look on the internet there is someone that has an opinion on what works and what doesn't on Ebay, well I am no different but whereas most opinions banded around have no basis mine are all based on the hard facts from actually ‘doing it' or ‘having done it'. Well the simple answer is, in my opinion, damn right they are! Why? You ask, well let me explain. Ebay has got huge traffic passing through its sites on a daily basis, not many selling venues can compete with it and as such this is what you want to capitalise on.

Developing your Website

Search Engine Optimisation - Outbound Links
This may seem like a strange suggestion but you can use outbound links to develop content for your site that can be targeted to the keywords that you would like. What tends to happen on the net is that the same description, usually scripted by the sites webmaster, appears all over the place in the form of back links and as such can be deemed as repetitive and take a penalty from the search engines.

Google Ranking Tips
Google is by far the most popular search engine available today for both ordinary surfers and webmasters alike. Surfers like it because of the highly relevant results it gives and the speed at which it delivers them. This is due to its complex text matching algorithm and of course the Pagerank™ system that this engine uses. More on the Pagerank™ system later. Google is popular with webmasters and Internet marketing companies due to the highly workable ranking system it uses.

Web Site Directories - Submission List
Web Directories can provide a great source of backlinks to your web site(s) and can also provide a great deal of traffic which is the life blood of any web site. Here is a list of all the directories that I submit my sites to in order to increase my search engine rankings and develop my sites linking strategies. All of these directories are FREE to submit to and have PageRank values ranging from 0 to 9, this of course will change over time so please do not ignore the PR 0 sites as they will develop as and when Google updates its algorithms.

Meta Tags - Good Webmaster Practice
There are a lot of untruths banded around the internet about the use of meta tags on your web pages, the biggest is that they will get you to the top of the search engine listings. Surprise, surprise this is untrue, they are no guaranteed solution to gain top search engine rankings however they do offer the webmaster the ability to ‘influence' how their site and its web pages are described by the search engines in their listings.

Content is King - Don't Wait Upload Immediately
This advice was mainly geared towards the Google search engine as this is notoriously the hardest, in time terms, to get into. Although it is also valid for any other search engine that you can mention. Firstly, upload several pages of keyword rich and subject relevent content to your domain. Now there are two ways of doing this, either it is written by you or you pay someone to write something for you.
