Auto Draft

Finally, in chapter 11 (“Attracting visitors”) in Creating a Web Site, I have come to a chapter that makes sense and which I digested with relative ease.  I know I have mentioned in past posts that I had played around with the idea of creating a web site back in probably 2004.  At the time I was using 1and1.com for my hosting and using one of their templates to design the site.  That part was pretty simplistic.  The part of the process I devoted the most time to was educating myself about search engine optimization.  I was hoping to get into affiliate marketing so rankings were a big deal.  Back at that time, the accepted logic was the heavy use of keywords and the use of relevant links.  I seem to recall the links being given more weight.  And it seems like that is still the case today.  With the site I intend to build, I’ve already started considering what other types of sites it would be good to set up reciprocal links with.
