Adsense Keyword Empire Part 3: Setting Up A Site or Blog

Step 3:

Set up a site

I have done this two ways. One way is to build your own website, and the other is to make a blog.

Making your own website gives you control over the design of your site, and gives you more flexibility in where you place your Google Adsense ads on your site. If you have a real vision for how you want your site to look, or if you have some experience designing your own websites, this might be the best option for you.

If you decide to make your own website, you will need to find a web host (a service that keeps all of your website files stored and up and running online). I have tried a few different hosts but the simplest to set up and maintain and the one with the best control panel interface is definitely Hostgator.

If you are interested in designing your own site but have no experience, then you can use a program like XSitePro. This is an easy-to-use web design software and you don't have to know a thing about html code to use it. You just have to click buttons and enter text and drag and drop. It's easy and quick to learn, and is money well spent for those for more than a passing interest in website creation and design.


The second option is to make a blog. This is a great option for people who want do it the easy way and are willing to sacrifice some control over their page's desgin and ad placement. Blogs are great because it's so easy to just add a new page by typing in a new blog entry. Each blog entry is spidered as a separate page by the search engines. So it's very easy to produce content quickly without worrying about building new pages yourself. The easiest blogs to set up are blogger blogs, which you can find at http://www.blogger.com. They have nice professional looking templates that you can set up in about 30 seconds. Another popular option is to use Wordpress to build your blog, since it is more flexible than blogger. But it is also more complicated, and the free-hosted version of Wordpress doesn't allow Adsense ads. You have to use your on hosting with Wordpress if you want to use it to make money.

Now that you have some idea of how to set up a site, let's think about adding content.
