Next, start looking for a "domain name". Come up with a name that will be easy for your customer to remember. Let's say, you're starting a "doggie treat" business. The name of your business is "Fidos Bark-O-Ruff-it Treats". Now, "fidosbarkofuffittreats.com" would be a very hard name for the customers to remember, but "fidostreats.com" would be perfect. Keep your domain names as short and as close to the point as possible. Go to www.nameboy.com to check the availability of your domain name. If you are having trouble coming up with one, just put in a couple of keywords relevant to your website like, "bark, ruff, treats, dog, etc, and it will give you a list of domain names that you can choose from. Then, once you have your domain name, you need to register it and get a hosting company for your site. In most cases, you can register your domain name with your hosting company, so be sure to do that before you sign up.
Now there are free hosting sites out there, but if I were you, I wouldn't go with any of those. I'm not saying that they are bad, but if you're like I was and didn't know what I was doing in the beginning, you'll want a hosting package that will offer the most support. You can get a good hosting package for about $5 a month. I use Dot5 Web Hosting!
Take a look at this hosting company and see if it would meet your needs. If not, do a Google search for "Hosting", and you will be sure to find a good one that is in your budget.
OK, now you're on your way. You have your website, your domain name, and your hosting package. The next thing you have to do is find content for your site.
For you to get noticed by the Search Engines, your site must be "content rich", which means that you need to have a lot of valuable information for your visitors to read and see.
Say you're still in the "doggie treat" business. Articles with information on dogs are a must. Find all the information you can on dogs, dog food, dog toys etc. You can even go to other websites that offer dog products, and look at the kind of information they have, and how their website is laid out. This will give you an idea of the type of information you need to make your site successful.
You can do a poll in the "dog lovers" forums, asking dog owners what kinds of treats their dogs like. Then add the results to your website.
Be creative. The more creative you are, the more likely you are to get more visitors. Offer something that no other "dog" website offers.
