How to Have Good Website

Our next meeting would be last Friday 15.5.2009 at the Penang Hritage Centre or World heritage Office. I nearly forget the meeting as I did not read carefully the mail send by Pn Nazlina. I arrived 5 minutes late then the time we agreed. That particular day, I have learned a lot of information regarding how people make their own website. If you want to learn outside, then I am so sure it cost you a lot. Here I would like to share some what I have learned.

Pn Nazlina had highlighted things that we need as to become the webmaster and have your own website.

1. You need brain and motivation.

This is meant any one can be webmaster if ones have working brain and enough motivation to do so. No matter who you are, even a housewife, drop out school or students and workers who have determination and desire in doing such can become webmaster. This work is not too hard or not too easy. Just follow right instruction given you can become ones.

2. C.T.P.M ( Content, Traffic, Pre-sell, Make Money )

C = Content

When write in your content, first we must bare the “W,H” question. Which are : WHO, WHEN, WHY, WHAT, HOW. This is where by knowing who is our reader, what is the main point to be load and why are we choose such key word will determine good content of the website. When to have your own website, the content must be pure written by you. Not to cut and paste other people’s content into your page. If there are the things that you need to take other’s work then you need to put some credits and give notes the things you take from others. This is to ensure you are not commit with the plagiarism.

T = Traffic

Bare in your mind, I am not talking about the road congestion. Traffic here means the number of people view your page. We know which article they read, how many people are reading, where the readers are came from, and how many times they view the page and for how long they spend to view your page. All this statistic and ranking can be view at alexa.com or Google PR (Google Page Rank). For those who do not get what i said, just look. When you type the keyword in the web engine at any main server, the result may show 1-10 out of 1 million pages available abut the keyword that you type. The top 10 result will show the best webpage that have link to the keyword you type in the search engine.

The technique they used to find suitable pages relate to your keyword is by using the “spidering”. What is spidering? Spidering is where any keyword highlighted in the content will be taken. The suitable keyword that may be used will be suggested by the web to the webmaster. The keyword will focus the content. There are criteria need to be fulfil to write a webpage. The keyword must be highlighted several times. To remind, too many keyword used, might be wrong as they might say it is being copied by others article. For example you type to your search engine penang heritage city then you will find the web page of www.penangheritagecity.com will be the first out of top ten. Or you type the Tupperware manager the first ten web page appear will be the http://penangheritagecity.blogspot.com/. Both webpage and blog are being created by Pn Nazlina my practical advisor.

Inside the package of how to built the web will also have the long tail keywords. What are long tail key words? When people type at the search engine they will get the suitable page that is related to their key word. So, ant thing that they write in the search engine that link to the page will be in the long tail keyword. However all the information will only being view by the creator of the web page as to know where the page rank and which page people viewed most.

REMINDER: good content will get good traffic.

P = Pre-sell

What is pre-sell? The content that we write will actually make some pre-sell of the product or thing that we are being talking about.

M = Make money

It happen when you have established your page, lots of viewer, people used your page as the place their seek information and buying things, and then this is how it makes money. Some people will indeed of buying the webpage. Some will also advertise their product in your page as they know, lots of viewer will read their advertisement.
