The ASK question is: How do I set up my business Center?
Before you begin, if you haven't done so already, compile a list of keywords
that you wish to optimize for. Do your keyword research and select accordingly.
Definately you should take Eric J. Smith of Lifestyle Home Services great advice
to optimize it for the search engines.
Once those details are sorted out, pay attention to detail and make your ABC
attractive and appealing to your people visitors. Search engines spiders need
to be taken into consideration, but your first priority should be to real visitors.
The HTML editor gives you an opportunity to create and design a very attractive
space even if you have no technical skills. Hyperlinking can be a bit of a challenge
if you don't have those HTML skills, but there are some simple solutions. One easy
solution most people have no trouble using is to generate the hyperlink through a
text editor or through your Outlook Express. The Apsense editor is very user
friendly! Go to your OE and create your hyperlink, then copy and paste it right
into the Apsense editor. Voila... you have a hyperlink.
You can use this same simple strategy for inserting images. Simply copy them from
the original source, and paste them into the Apsense editor. Now, to optimize as per
Eric's advice, click on the HTML tab in the editor and add "alt" tags using your keywords.
You can also alter the HTML to hyperlink your image to another website, ensuring that
the site is relevent to the topic, your keywords, and the image.
Ensure that your content and your images are arranged in a manner that is attractive
AND makes sense.
Now that you have your main page created, do not neglect your other pages.
You can create a product page that is professional and compelling, for each one
of your products. Don't feel that you have to display all your products on your
main page. This is a nice way to change your content from time to time. Feature
a few products and rotate those featured.
Put all your web links in your Resources section and invite others to exchange
links with you. Be sure to add your Affiliate links and choose the five that will be
displayed on your main page. Decide if you want Testimonials to be displayed on
your main page. Testimonials are certainly a nice feature, but I don't suggest
having too many on your main page. Again, choose a few and rotate them.
Most importantly, don't be intimidated! Get in there and play around. You
might be surprised at how easy it really is. You can fix any mistake, and you
will want to come back to update and make changes from time to time.
