Tips Bikin Website Dengan Domain Sendiri Tanpa Mengeluarkan Uang

Bagi Anda yang pengen punya website sendiri, tetapi masih ada kendala keuangan, minim pengalaman bikin website, ga tau menahu apa itu web programming, atau background Anda bukan IT, mungkin cara berikut akan sedikit membantu Anda untuk mewujudkan “keinginan” Anda untuk mempunyai / membuat website sendiri, GRATIS…

Bikin website itu mudah, biar gampang dimengerti, membuat website sama halnya jika Anda mau membuat / membangun sebuah bangunan. Sebelumnya, Saya ingin memaparkan apa-apa saja yang dibutuhkan untuk membuat website (bangunan Anda) :

1. Domain, apa itu domain? domain adalah alamat website Anda, atau sering disebut dengan URL. Analoginya, jika Anda mau bangun rumah, Anda harus punya alamat bukan? contoh : “Jl HKSN Banjarmasin” ini adalah domain rumah Anda pada dunia nyata. Maka, untuk punya “rumah” di dunia maya (internet) Anda juga perlu punya alamat / domain (e.g. namasaya.com, sayakeren.net, dkk). Untuk domain gratis, Anda bisa daftar di www.freedomain.co.nr / dot.tk / co.cc / uni.cc

2. Hosting, setelah punya alamat (domain), Anda harus punya lahan / tanah yang sesuai dengan alamat Anda untuk bisa diisi sesuatu (akan dibangun sesuatu). Di internet, tanah tersebut dinamakan “hosting”. Anda bisa mendapatkan hosting ini sepaket dengan domain, disini diasumsikan terpisah. Berdasarkan pengalaman Saya, hosting yang bagus, cepat, space besar, stabil, fitur kumplit, dan tentu saja… GRATIS hehehe.. yaitu disini.

3. Content, setelah punya “lahan” dan “alamat”, maka Anda siap membangun bangunan yang Anda inginkan. Bangunan inilah yang disebut (Content). Jadi, orang-orang atau kerabat Anda tidak bingung jika mampir ke “alamat” yang Anda berikan ternyata masih berupa “lahan kosong” tanpa bangunan. Untuk itu, perlu diisi / dibangun sebuah bangunan bukan? Di dalam dunia maya, content ini bisa bermacam-macam, ada website, blog, e-commerce, dkk. Saya rekomendasikan bagi Anda yang mau bikin website pribadi bisa pake wordpress atau joomla!.

4. Tools, supaya ketiga langkah diatas sukses, tentunya Anda butuh suatu “alat” untuk membangun bangunan Anda kan? bisa pake mesin traktor atau alat berat lainnya untuk merealisasikan bangunan Anda. Untuk kasus ini, “alat” tersebut digunakan untuk meng-upload content yang telah Anda persiapkan ke hosting Anda. Misal Anda mau pake wordpress sebagai content dan mau meng-upload content tersebut, maka Anda butuh aplikasi / tools FTP Client. Tools ini sering dinamakan “FTP Application”. Bisa didapatkan disini.

Yak, Sekian dulu, jika masih bingung kasih comment aj ya… hehehe… terima kasih. Maju terus IT Indonesia!!!

10 Top Tips to Make your Website Search Engine Friendly

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Here are 10 tips to make your website search engine friendly:

1. Keyword research
2. Get some (trustworthy) advice
3. Look after your code
4. Make navigation easy
5. Get links
6. Build a sitemap
7. Don't forget the technical stuff
8. Track your progress
9. Tell the search engines where you are
10. Content is king

1. Keyword Research is the first step in any Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Take the time to figure out what words are used by the people you want to visit your site, and then use these words on the relevant page. For example, if a potential customer is searching for ‘class c widgets', you need to make sure the relevant web page on your site contains the words ‘class c widgets'. Make sure you use these keywords in the first few words of your page title (the blue bar at the top of your webpage) because this is the most important bit of the page from a search engines perspective. You should do this for all the pages in your site, but remember don't just stuff the keywords in there; it still needs to make sense to humans!

2. Get some good advice from SEO sources on the web. Unfortunately, not everyone knows as much as they say they do online and far too often SEO forums are full of bad advice so choose your sources well.

There are also plenty of people out there who believe you can scam the search engines. We don't. Stick to ethical SEO (i.e. don't fill the page with hidden keywords) and you will be rewarded in the long term

3. Looking after your code means building a website that is easy for the search engines to understand. Your website should make use of up to date technologies like Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to minimise the amount of formatting in the HTML page code. Remove the formatting and you're left with pure content - and search engines love that.

4. Make navigation easy by building clear text links to all parts of your site. Search engines can't follow image links or clever animated links like Flash, they like their navigation plain and simple - and so do many users.

5. Get links from trusted, relevant sources. Links are like a vote for your page and you can't rank well without them. Unfortunately, buying links or being indiscriminate in the places you link to and places you request links from, is no longer a good way to raise the importance of your site; think quality not quantity.

Links must be relevant to the content matter of your site and they must be from high-quality websites. Also, try to use keywords in the links you have coming into your site. For example, ‘View our Industrial Pumps catalogue on Kellysearch' is a much better incoming link than ‘View our catalogue on Kellysearch'

6. Build a sitemap page to help the search engines discover every page in your site. The best sitemaps list the pages in your site along with brief keyword-rich descriptions of the page. If you have too many pages on your site, create as many sitemaps as you need and make sure they're linked together.

7. Don't forget the technical stuff, there are lots of things that happen in the background that can cause problems with the way the search engines see your site.

For example, if you use a cheap web hosting company, you might be bundled on to the same web server as a pornographic site that Google really doesn't like - guilt by association. Also, does your website use techniques that search engines don't like, like certain types of redirection? Just a few simple questions should be enough to recognise if your web design company know what they are talking about, such as:

1) Does my site use 302 (bad) redirects or 301 (good) redirects?

2) Should I be using Meta Description tags? Answer: Yes, but only to encourage searchers to click through to my site, not as SEO.

8. Track your progress with a web analytics program. There are lots of free options to use; Google Analytics in particular is easy to use and versatile. Web analytics can tell you a great deal about how people interact with your site and how much traffic the search engines are sending you. Here you can track the progress of any changes that you make to see if they are working.

9. Tell the search engines where you are by submitting your site details to them. This doesn't guarantee a better position in the results, but it certainly helps. Both Google and Yahoo have a facility to submit a list of all the pages in your site:

* Google Webmaster Tools

* Yahoo Site Explorer

If you verify your site with Google & Yahoo (instructions are on the site, although the process does require some technical skill) you will also get lots of valuable information about how well and how often your site is being examined by the search engines.

10. Content is King. It was true in the beginning of the World Wide Web and it's true now. Build great content and keep it up to date, search engines love sites like blogs, which are regularly refreshed. At the end of the day, even a site that ranks well and gets lots of visitors is no good if the visitors don't like what they see.

Website Design Tips

make my living from websites -- at first designing for others, and now running my own sites. Over the years I've compiled my very best tips on web design, and I'm sharing that with you here. This is important because it's all too easy to create pages that frustrate your visitors even though that's not what you intended at all. And visitors who are annoyed are likely to click off of it quickly without seeing what you have to offer.

Fortunately, the most common website mistakes are very easy to prevent or fix. My big list of website design tips below will help you do just that.

(Gray letter-number codes for each tip are for the benefit of college professors, who requested an easy way to refer to each tip.)

Make sure each page in your website has something valuable to offer.

Though this doesn't really relate to design, it's actually more important than design, which is why it's the very first tip. I know many people reading this page are trying to find out how to make useless pages look pretty, because they think that style is all that really matters. So let's step back a minute and realize that fundamentally a web page exists to provide something that's useful or interesting to visitors. If your page doesn't have that, then you must fix that problem before you worry about how to present it. If you throw mud at a canvas, then even if it's in a gold frame, it's still just a canvas of mud. What are you offering to your visitors? Why is it worth their time to visit your site? Please focus on that before you move on to how it should look.

If your plan is to make money from advertising, then go for a ratio of not less than 75% editorial to 25% advertising. Amazingly, I see some sites that are almost nothing but ads. We know that no one would turn on the TV if it were just commercials, and no programs, or buy a magazine if it were just ads, and no articles. By the same token, a website also has to have more than ads if it's to be successful.


Don't distract your visitors with blinking or scrolling text, animated GIFs, or auto-loading sound.

Animation and sounds are distracting. How can anyone concentrate on reading what's on your site when there are things flying around the page? It's like trying to read a newspaper when someone's poking you in the shoulder repeatedly. Also, visitors who have slow connections may resent that you wasted their time by forcing them to load animations and sound files against their will. Conventional wisdom is that people will be drawn to an animated ad, but it's actually the opposite: Readers who are assaulted by blinking ads are more likely to leave the site immediately without clicking on anything, and are far less likely to bookmark the site, return to it, link to it, and recommend it. That's why research shows that animated banner ads may be no more effective than static ads, anyway. That's been my experience too: When I switched the ads on a friend's site from animated to static, click-through didn't suffer at all. (That site pulls in nearly $400,000 in advertising revenue, by the way.)

Another problem with scrolling text is that the reader can't read it at their own pace. They're forced to read it at whatever speed you deliver it. They might have preferred to read those two sentences quickly and then move on, but because it's scrolling they have to sit there and wait for the text to slowly appear.

This brings up an important point: Always keep your visitors' interests in mind. Make sure you try to please them, not yourself. Scrolling text does nothing to serve the visitor. If it's on a site it's because the site owner thought, "Let me show how cool I am." Do you see the difference? Don't design the site for yourself, design it for the people who will actually use it.


Don't annoy your visitors with pop-up windows.

Nobody likes popups. Here again, the only reason a site would have popups is because the site owner is thinking of his/her own interests rather than the readers. We all know that when we're browsing we hate popups, but suddenly when we switch hats and become the site owner, we lose our ability to see through the users' eyes. So let's remember to put ourselves in their shoes. Which of these reactions to popups is a visitor is more likely to have?

(a) "A popup window, oh goody! I love sites with popups! I will make certain to bookmark this site and visit often. I will also certainly click the ad or links in the popup because I love them so much."

(b) "@#&$! Whoever made this website obviously has no respect for me as a visitor. When I leave here I will never come back."


Don't use image backgrounds.

Image backgrounds scream "amateur", because it's mostly amateurish sites that use them. Quick, can you name a single professional, respected site that uses image backgrounds? Not Google, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, the New York Times, Webmaster World, or any others.

One reason that backgrounds scream "low quality" is because sites that use them are often user-hostile in many other ways as well. For example, when I visited a site recently and saw that they used an image background, I wasn't surprised to find that the site also has extremely slow page-loading times, internal links that pop up into brand-new windows, links that are the exact same color as the surrounding text, cheap animated GIFs, blatant keyword stuffing, and numerous embarrassing misspellings. [As further proof, I had to remove my link to that site from this article, because they went out of business.]

Unfortunately, just as people were finally starting to clue in to the fact that background images are cheap and garish, along came MySpace to repopularize a bad idea. It's not surprising that MySpace is a poster child for bad design in other ways, with obtrusive advertising, force-loading music, distracting animations, and super-slow-loading pages. I'm not the only one who feels that way. Here's how the world-famous Dan Piraro put it: "Badly designed, impossible to navigate, ugly, loud, depressing, reeking of death. How did this beast that is eating the fabric of our civilization and puking it up on the shoes of our future achieve such popularity?"

But back to image backgrounds, another problem with them is that they take longer to load. One site I checked had a whopping 144k image background. Its home page takes sixteen times as long to load as the one you're reading now -- even though it has far less useful information.
