Looking for the
lowest price web hosting can be a waste of your time and your money.Lowest price web hosting is a misleading term.It is not really the lowest price when you consider all factors for
building a successful website.
This page does not
tell you how to find the lowest price hosting.It tells you why you should not look for the lowest price hosting.It tell you why you should pay more and substantially increase your
chances for success.
Let’s assume you have decided to build a content website.A content website is one in which you provide valuable information to
your readers.You are not planning
to use pay per click (PPC) advertising to attract traffic, but rather, you are
planning to bring free traffic to your website using search engine optimization
(SEO).
You do not know much about SEO, but you think that you will
learn it from experience.
If this is your approach, and you use the lowest price web
hosting, you are likely doomed for
failure.That is rather harsh,
but it is the truth.Let’s see why
this might be the case.
Have you researched the keywords for your planned website?Have you found how many searches are performed for the keywords for your
site?Have you found the supply for
those keywords?Supply is the number
of web pages on the Net with pages that match the keyword(s) that you are
planning for your site.This tells
you the competition that you face on the Net.
If you have not researched the number of searches for your
keyword, you might find that not enough people search for it to make your site
profitable.You might also find that
it is a extremely popular keyword so it will be very difficult for you to rate
high enough on the search results for the keyword to be successful.
To really bring traffic to your site from the search
engines, you need to be above the “fold” on the first search results page.The “fold” is the bottom of the screen when the search engine results
page loads.Most surfers will not
scroll down below the fold so if you are not above it, you are invisible.This usually means that you must be approximately in the 1 – 5 position
on the search engine results page.
The lowest price web hosting will not provide you with the
tools to determine this.You can buy
an annual subscription to Word Tracker to determine the number of searches
($$$).You might search each word on
Google to determine the popularity of the keyword and evaluate the competition.There are paid services that will do this, but these add cost to your
project.
What is the answer
to finding the lowest priced web hosting?
The answer is to consider the TOTAL price including your time to create a successful website.If you use the lowest price web hosting and fail, you have wasted a year
of your life and lost opportunity.This
is much more valuable than saving a few dollars per month by choosing the lowest
price web hosting.
My personal
recommendation is to use Site Build It for your web hosting.I make this recommendation from personal experience.
This website you are currently viewing is hosted by Site
Build It (SBI).It has been very
successful for me.I also have other
SBI websites (www.retirement-jobs-online.com,
and www.the-best-gps.com) which are
also successful websites.I
attribute this success to SBI.
SBI has developed a very structured method for leading you
through creating your website.It
makes you do extensive keyword research before you can even pick your domain
name.Did you know that your
main keyword should be included in your domain name for best SEO results?SBI will help you do this.
SBI has the best
keyword research tool on the Net, bar none.This tool will take your keyword and access Word Tracker (no additional
cost to you) for the number of searches.It
will also give you back several hundred related keywords.SBI then searches the Net for the supply so you can evaluate the
competition.This is all presented
to you in a Master Key Word List which you can sort, evaluate, and manipulate to
find your best keywords.
This phase of
development for your website is the most important.If you do not spend enough time planning, success will come slowly or not
at all.
Here is a picture of the Master Keyword List for one of my
keywords for this site.It is for
the keyword “web hosting”.It is
sorted by profitability for all words with Value Demand greater than 1000 and
Profitability greater than 2000.
This powerful keyword tool is included in the cost of the
Site Build It web hosting.
I chose a keyword that applied to Site Build It (website
builder web hosting) that has good volume and excellent profitability since
there are not too many web pages with this keyword.
When I click on the “www” icon, I get the first results
page for each of the major search engines to check the competition.
From this I can determine if I can write better content
than the competition and attract traffic for this keyword.
As you can see, Site
Build It is really much more than just web hosting.If you are interested in a definition of Site Build It, follow

page so close that page to return back here.
Site Build It also
has very detailed and powerful instructions to lead you through building your
website.This will enable you to
be successful even if you have no experience with building websites.These instructions are in written or video form.
