Creating your own website can be useful for a number of purposes. Whether it's to share your expertise on a particular topic, start an online business, foster a community, or just maintain an online journal of your activities, having a website will allow you to make your content accessible from any connected computer. It can also theoretically allow you to have a larger audience for your ideas than you would ever have otherwise. If you have useful ideas or observations to share, you may be able to share them with as many as a few dozen people throughout the day, if you are lucky. With a website, you can share them with hundreds or even thousands.

Possibly the easiest way to create your own website is to use Google Page Creator. This service, still in beta, provides intuitive interfaces for adding text, images, links, and other bits of content to a webpage hosted by Google. The web address of your page will be yourgoogleusername.googlepages .com.

Google Page Creator is a WYSIWIG web design platform, which means "What You See is What You Get" — what you create in the design interface is what your visitors will see. Google Page Creator automatically saves your website pages as you type them, so nothing of value can be lost. The whole system is so extremely simple that even those without basic computer literacy skills can probably use it.

If you want more options and functionality on your website, as well as your own dedicated web address, you'll need to create pages in HTML, register a web domain, and get a hosting server to upload your pages to. Web domains can be registered at any number of registrars — Godaddy.com is a popular one. Google "hosting" or "cheap hosting" to find many thousands of available hosting companies. As a general rule of thumb, if you're paying more than about 10 US dollars (USD) per month for hosting for a low-traffic website, you're paying way too much. Many companies offer space for 5 USD a month.

To create HTML, you can write it from scratch in notepad, or use a WYSIWIG program like Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage. HTML is not a programming language per se, and as such is much easier to use than true programming languages. You can learn basic HTML in less than an hour and start using it to create your very own web pages.

After you create your pages, they must be uploaded to your server. You will receive a username and password from your host once you register with them. You can use these in an application called an FTP program to connect your computer with the server, then send your completed pages from computer to server. Once uploaded, your website will be visible on the World Wide Web for all to enjoy. Within a few days, pages with inbound links will be indexed by Google and begin to appear in search results.

well jammy Link building can be likened to a kind of online word-of-mouth. It involves links pointing at your site from other relevant sites. If you come across a link to another website from a site you know and trust, you will be inclined to follow the link. It's almost like a friend recommending somebody to you. Links are of two types- reciprocal links and inbound links. A successful linking strategy can bring you higher search engine ranking
We believe in creating a successful linking strategy that can bring you targeted traffic and qualified prospects. A successful linking strategy also enhances your professional reputation, raises your Page Rank and propels you to higher search engine rankings. Link building is economical, it can give you an online competitive edge over your competitors without having to spend serious marketing money. Having a successful linking strategy in place means you can provide valuable information to your users, since your users are directed towards relevant information-rich sites.

Why is link building important?
Link building is one of the crucial off-page factors that search engines like Google consider while determining the relevancy of a website and to decide its ranking. Unethical search engine optimization practices (spamming) like 'keyword stuffing', use of invisible text etc. had become a problem for search engines while returning relevant results. In an algorithm shift, search engines decided that the links pointing to a website would also be considered relevant for SERP ranking purposes, apart from the website's optimized content. Today, the Page Rank of your website and relevancy of incoming links are important factors in the ranking of your website. Major search engines, including Google, MSN, Yahoo and AltaVista etc. use off-page factors like Link Popularity to decide rankings for your site.

What are Link Popularity and Page Rank?
Link Popularity is the actual number of links pointing to your website. Page Rank is an algorithm used by Google to determine how relevant a web page is to a user. It takes into consideration inbound links, content and the quality of the sites linking to your page from external online sources.
How do search engines decide the 'relevancy' of a link?
Search engines usually take into account several factors like PageRank of the link page, relevance of the linking page to your industry, appearance of keywords in anchor text and total outgoing links on the linking webpage. The lesser the outgoing links, the better it is.

Why you need our link building services
There are hundreds of link building services online, some of which are highly dubious. Many of these providers will claim to get you thousands of links, the bulk of which will be sourced through link farms and FFA (Free For all pages). Some search engines frown on such link building as a form of spamming and penalize these practices. Also, with search engines, the quality of the links pointing to your site matters more than the quantity. 3-4 extremely relevant links would be more useful than 20 irrelevant links of sites that have nothing to do with your business.

Well creating a website is no mean business. You need loads of money and resources to it.

To create a website u need to know certain web development languages / platforms.

The above mentioned languages / softwares are widely used for creating web pages and web sites.

Well , Now I will give you the basic steps for creating websites.

Well first a brief about why we need this?
New websites need links to develop any sort of search engine visibility. Links pointing to a new website can get it indexed and help it to start ranking for low to medium competition long tail keywords.

Now I present some of the best strategies and tips for this purpose:

1.Submit your site to Web Directories. This is a pretty monotonous process that can get you several hundred backlinks if you have the time. An alternative would be to hire a manual directory submitter.

2.Submit Press Releases to PR sites. A basic press release about your website’s launch can be released to several PR websites, who will distribute it to various online news outlets. A good way to get a free link.

3.Reciprocal Links with Similar Websites. Its important to pick sites that are of high relevance so you’ll not only get links but traffic. Reciprocal linking can be useful from the beginning but don’t overdo it.

4.Social Media Profiles. There a whole bunch of social websites online which allow you to insert a link to your website on the profile page. Sign up for some of them, preferably using a username and avatar that brands your business or you as a person.

5.Forum Signatures. Sign up for some forums in your niche and start contributing to ongoing discussions. Insert a link to the homepage or some inner pages of your site.

6.Blogs on Other Blog Platforms. Use existing blogs you have on other blog networks. Or set up different versions of your blog on different blog networks like Wordpress.com, Blogger and Xanga. Link to specific webpages on your website.

7.Hold Contests. Some websites often offer contests in a bid to attract anchor text links from bloggers.

8.Squidoo Lenses. A Squidoo lens is fairly easy to create. It only takes around 15 minutes to set up one fully and you’ll be able to insert a bunch of anchor text links to your website along with your feed content. Hubpages is another similar site you can use.

Hope this will help you.

Jammy there are several ways you can build the link to the website:

Reciprocal link
A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites to ensure mutual traffic. Example: Alice and Bob have websites. If Bob's website links to Alice's website, and Alice's website links to Bob's website, the websites are reciprocally linked. Website owners often submit their sites to reciprocal link exchange directories, in order to achieve higher rankings in the search engines. Reciprocal linking between websites is an important part of the search engine optimization process because Google uses link popularity algorithms (defined as the number of links that led to a particular page and the anchor text of the link) to rank websites for relevancy.


Three way linking
See also: Webring
Three way linking (siteA ⇒ siteB ⇒ siteC ⇒ siteA) is a special type of reciprocal linking. The attempt of this link building method is to create more "natural" links in the eyes of search engines. The value of links by three-way linking can then be better than normal reciprocal links, which are usually done between two domains.


Automated linking
In order to take advantage of the need for inbound links to rank well in the search engines, a number of automatic link exchange services have been launched. Members of these schemes will typically agree to have several links added to all their web pages in return for getting similar links back from other sites.


Link exchange
An alternative to the automated linking above is a link exchange forum, in which members will advertise the sites that they want to get links to, and will in turn offer reciprocal or three way links back to the sites that link to them. The links generated through such services are subject to editorial review.
