My Digital Photo Webs are made in Iceland, hosted at the Best Web Hosting company and for YOU and the rest of the brave new world to enjoy!
Everybody is a peer on the internet and I am a firm believer in the new on-line lifestyle. It truly is a GLOBAL VILLAGE.
As you can see my sites ranks already in the TOP 1% of all internet sites as measured by Alexa. This I can contribute in no small way to the Best Web Hosting I know. The statistics show estimated traffic rank number from all the millions of sites on the whole internet
…you may as well ask - How come my sites are doing so well?
Why I Built These Sites
I had been searching for the best way to start my own web sites. I didn’t want to just start and throw up something but wanted to do the right thing. The idea was to build a site that had a message to the world and preferably could sustain itself.
I know from my work as computer expert that setting up a website from scratch was not going to be a simple task - with all the firewalls, bandwidth issues and programming. All my time would be spent building the framework and very little time to do actual content. Also another issue I thought about was HOW to get any traffic.
I was lucky enough to come across this FREE e-book about building sites that really got me THINKING - if I could perhaps find my own niche and even a new mission in life. The book showed me a whole new way of looking at the web site building process - much more into the WHY but also centering on how to FEED the “other” side of the search engines like Google and Yahoo.
This looked like a perfect match for me - a set of tools that are simple to use and allowed me to concentrate on delivering content and not worry about all the technical details.
As it has gradually turned out the hosting company I found delivers much more than simple web hosting. In fact, web hosting is only a part of a much larger and more valuable package.
How I Built These Sites
- Starting out by BRAINSTORMING about a few possible concepts - I came up with 4×4 and off roading. My love for travel in the Icelandic highlands would fuel endless ideas for content.
- Measuring SUPPLY and DEMAND for keywords related to 4 wheeling showed a lot of potential.
- I researched a lot of possible ways to monetize and found that Google AdSense is the perfect solution for this site - unobtrusive ads that are relevant for the content of each page.
- Concentrating on REFINING the concept I also started to look for a DOMAIN name. When I saw that 4×4OffRoads.com was not taken - you can imagine my surprise and joy. I immediately jumped on it!
- Only then did I begin to design the structure for the keywords I would use for the various tiers on the new site. This had to be pleasing for the search engines but also the 4 wheelers visiting the site.
- As soon as the site was up - I started to draw traffic using various means available - link exchange, forum discussions and even Pay Per Clicks - like Google Adwords.
- Since the start of the site I have continued to add content to the site - writing articles with lots of pictures to make the site as valuable as possible. This will of course be an ongoing process.
- The concept for the art site didn’t show nearly as much potential for profits. Icelandic art is not that popular and there where a LOT of sites dealing with this theme. Still it was a natural step since my wife had been running a gallery with four other women.
- We decided on the domain name Art-Iceland.com and started building it.
- Soon it became obvious that changes were necessary in the running of the gallery. We decided to give it a shot and did all the work needed to establish it.
- Still on the first year of operation we know that the web site is a tremendous support and this will be good if we give it some time and effort.
The Best Web Hosting Tool I Use
Well it is actually more than a tool. More like a guideline for BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS. It supports the most difficult part by outlining four simple steps - necessary for true and lasting SUCCESS on the internet:
C -> T -> P -> M
C - Content building is the foundation
T - Traffic comes from good content, link building and other techniques
P - PREsell visitors by supplying quality information and friendly atmosphere
M - Monetize as the final step
…and then giving me the set of tools to support every step of the way. You really have to see it to believe it.
To get you started on your own web efforts and get a feel for the quality of the SiteSell products, there are two e-books I suggest you read.
They are both FREE and can safely be downloaded from the 4×4OffRoads.com site.
The first one proved a real eye opener for me. You can read more about it and the 10 day Affiliate Masters Course right here. Even if you don’t end up using any of SiteSell’s products this is a good read. The 200 pages provide a good overview of the ideas you will need to grasp. The how’s and the whys. I’m sure it will help you as it did me, in finding your niche and building a site that sells. Take your time to read it and grasp a fuller picture of the necessary steps.
Finally I have also set up a page where you can get other books by Key Evoy. Go to my Winzip Downloads page to collect them all!
P.S. The fact is that this is NOT the only SBI site doing well on the internet. If you take a look at the results page you can find lots and lots of successful sites and of course 4×4OffRoads.com under Hobbies!
