Need Help Getting Started? We’re Here for You!
You want to create a website that works for you. That pulls in punters and pays for itself. Follow our advice and go from web starter to webmaster in a few easy steps.
What will your site be called?
Try to bring key words into your site name. For example, www.freeslotsonline.com contains potential keyword phrases such as:
- free slots
- slots online
- free online slots
- free slots online
All very helpful when you’re trying to get your site to rank in search engines such as Google.
Remember! Don’t host your site via a registrar (the organisation that sells you your domain name), rather choose a separate hosting company.

Where will your site be kept?
Hosting is important as it will determine your access to support (are they in your local time zone), the amount of down time your site experiences and also the features you will have to work with (not all hosts offer the same tools).

Day to day managing of your site
You will need to manage and make changes to your site - from uploading new content to implementing new technologies. There are several online tools that will make this job (and your life) easier.
Website Management Tools:
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. A complicated term that describes the process of taking your new website from your local computer and putting it on the server of your selected webhost.
Wysiwyg Editor
What You See Is What You Get. An interface/program that allows you to easily code or edit a webpage. Some require coding skills while others will allow you to “drag and drop” images and content onto a blank page – much like you would if you were making a document in Word with images in it.
Image Editor
CMS
Content Management System. For the more tech savvy, thisis a useful tool. It takes the work of manually coding each page and allows you to upload content via an easy to use interface and then disseminate it to various pages through a simple process.
Take the time to learn something like WordPress. It will help you manage sites easily and will make SEO that much simpler. (Many of these are 85% SEO friendly right from the beginning.)
CMS Themes
Content Management System Themes. This provides you with nice ways to spruce up your CMS-based site. Even better, you don’t need to employ a designer or know how to design yourself.

Invest time, dedication, reams of content into your site and start picking up traffic – for free! This is not an overnighter, but for serious affiliates this is a must have.
