A lot of people ask me ” What exactly do I need to have my own web site?”, so let me break it down for everyone with the same question.

  1. A Web site.
    hopefully we all understand this part 
  2. A Domain name.
    This is the name of your site for example this site is : depaulus.com
    For more info about Domain names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name
  3. A Web Host.
    This is the place that your web site will be hosted, your host will provide you with webspace, Email accounts, Databases etc
    More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_hosting_service

So, with these 3 things I am up and running?? eeehhmm not quite!, although you now have all the neccesities, you  still have to get your site onto the www. highway.So how do I do that?? 

Ok, I am far to busy to give you a step by step guide on how to actually make your website, (just pay me to do that for you) .. So lets assume you have a website, now, you have to get your web site from your PC all the way to your Web Host.. To do this you need a Ftp programme, and with this, you “Upload” your website onto your Hosting Account. (Remember if you have a static .htm(l) site, the index.htm or index.html will be the homepage)

 

OK, this is sorted, am I ready to rock and roll??

eeeuuhhh welllll, unless you like to rock and roll all by yourself, then no,.. actually all the above was the easiest and cheapest part!!..
Congratulations your site has been launched, and of the 2.9 Billion internet users, you are the ONLY person that knows your web site is out there.. GOOD LUCK!!

Well hang on!!… So now what do I do??Well, first of all, you have to get word out to everyone that your site is out there, and you would appreciate a bit of buisness!!.. The best way to do this, is to submit your sites to all the major “Search Engines” .. Sounds Easy??.. Hahaha.. Yeahhh right!!So now I have my web site launched and Submitted, all I have to do is wait for the money to start flowing in??

Believe  me. if that was the case, you would not be reading this, cos I would not be writting this!!.. But, very slowly we are getting there…. so now you “B&B” web site is live, and has been submitted… All is well??… Almost, one slight problem, is that your B&B website only gets mentioned on page 54298876.. which means you are still the ONLY person except for dear Aunty Mavis who knows your web site is out there!

 

OMG!! is there any hope?? 

Well, call it your lucky day, but that is where I could be of great help.
I can Design your web site, Host your site,  Manage your site, and Advertise your site.

Yeahh but that must cost me an arm and a leg!!

Don’t worry, I’m not in it for the limbs!!.. My prices are very low, so low actually, that if you manage to find someone offering what I offer for less, Please let me know, because I will start using them myself!!

I have finally decided to finish depaulus.com, I have started on this site numerous times, but usually find myself working on one of my many other sites or someone elses.

Why this site? well, I have been asked so many times by lots of people “How do you get your web sites so high on the search engines?”.. 
I would like to say that I had a secret formula, and even more, i wish I did because I would be rich.. but  that is not the case, I do not have a secret formula.
However I do have over 30 websites all ranking high (first 3 pages of Google)this itself is a huge achievement.
Most of you will know that making a website is a lot easier than actually marketing your website, I always compare it with having a wonderfull restaurant in the woods, no matter how nice it is, if people don’t know it’s there, you are not going to get any customers, the same goes for a web site, there are millions of websites out there!, so how do you manage to get your web site in the top rankings of the mayor search engines (Google, Yahoo, Live )?

Here is a true and genuine example:

search in the 3 mentioned search enginges for a B&B in the Dordogne…
Search query: B&B Dordogne

Google: Results of about 555,000 for B&B Dordogne<. (0.19 seconds)
** On the pages 1-3 there are 11 sites that mention “Ferme de Tayac” 8 of those sites are mine, and 3 of the sites are 2nd party sites.

Yahoo: 350,000 for B & B Dordogne (About) - 0.02 sec  
** On the pages 1-3 , 11 sites are mine.

Live: 128,000 results.
** 1st page, 6 out of 10 sites are mine…
** On the pages 1-3 , 9 sites are mine.
