I've done digg.  Off to blogger.

BTW, my site is already linked 40+ times on relevant sites....  which makes me wonder why I haven't been indexed yet.
Everything takes time. Are you indexed on any other SE's?

I own 3 domains and am currently operating on 2 of them. One has no content at all but I am developping a layout and idea to go with it soon. One is in my signature and the other is one from a couple years ago being hosted for free, a site about laws.

Have you tried making a blog on blogger linking to your site? Make a simple blog named as your site is and then post a few things linking to your site. Since blogger is now operated by google it can possibly be quickly indexed due to that new link.
Fastest indexing I've ever got was a couple hours.

Definitly the older version is more 2.0 especially with the blue and the rounded boxes haha. Long content might not get you indexed as fast if the bots think you may have too many duplicate keywords, not sure about yours haven't checked.
I think lessening the purple would help a good deal, I mean it ain't that pleasent a color to look at. tongue

I think some sort of contest would work well. Maybe mass email old/new/current members and tell them about the new contest thats going on. You have some ads, possible allow revenue sharing or a new feature where the highest posting members are rewarded somehow. (maybe given their own title.)

Bon Echo here, with IE 6 and IE7 and couple different versions of Firefox so I can test my sites in all different browsers. I like firefox because of all the add ons and such, but I enjoy IE for it's clensliness. IE feels more comfortable then FF, IMO.

Develop relationships with other bloggers. Comments are not enough when you can befriend someone new and hopefully get more then friendship out of the relationship (I don't mean that in any way other then a business relationship tongue).
Think of it like building a network, blog for him and let him blog for you. Then find common ground with other bloggers and keep expanding. A possible idea is to once a month to have the bloggers in your network all blog about the same thing but have them all link to just one of the blogs in the network so that they can have a viewership increase and maybe get a few more readers.
Try it Wink

My sites went from PR0-2. So I'm happy about that. PR is getting to be not as important as it once was, I mean whats the point of waiting 4+ months just to get an update. Google needs to create a new system to rank sites where updates happen live, or something of the sort.

Couple things.
1.)Get rid of the header text, their are better sources for fonts then powerpoint.
2.)Your website deals with people who want to create a better website, you should set a standard for them with an outstanding layout. Think outside the box, your a webdesigner thats your job.
3.) Allow your header to be clickable to bring me to the homepage.
4.) No purple please.
5.) Make your website more Web 2.0, yours looks like it was made in frontpage over 10 years ago.
6.) In your meta keywords make sure each keyword is separated by a comma.
7.) I felt like their was just too much writing everywhere. Shorten it up, no one wants to read a  novel when their looking for novellas.
Cheers and good luck.

Page doesn't work.
If you want to boost your CTR it's simple. Get visitors related to your website to come. People don't click ads by accident any more, that phase is gone. You have to find genuine traffic sources which will bring in visitors asking the question, that your website answers. If people want to learn about your subject, then they will cherish all info given to them, including ads.
Oh and don't expect clicks from webmasters or forum users, neither are really big into clicking ads.

I have done all 6 things listed, but am having a hard time getting my site indexed.  I will never get a PR or any traffic if I never get my site indexed.  How do I expedite getting my site indexed?

I read your article as well as this article and followed it to a T but still no luck.



PR, traffic and indexing are 3 different things mate.  Be patient with indexing, or submit an article to digg or ezine or any social media site. To be indexed you need pages to link to you. Ask some other webmasters who are related to your niche and see if you can get link exchanges. Submit your site to directories, pay some money to be listed on sites with good traffic. Remeber that a lot of traffic is not as good as targetted traffic. No point in 1000 visitors with a 90% bounce rate.
Stick through it, don't give up, submit your website to every single thing you can submit too.

Yah I first started out with sitebuilder but found the processus horrendous to figure out and work. I just gave up on it and moved on to dreamweaver and the like. I would suggest anyone to learn how to properly code their website rather then using the godaddy utility, you'll learn more and your website will look better, feel better and you'll learn something in the process.
Only use the utility if you have no idea how to use it and you want a quick job done fo your website.
