First off, let me tell you I went in these traps when I was putting togheter AnimeTip.com.
1: Set Your Goals
This is kinda the most important, overlap the niche point yet seen in a broader perspective. Why are you making a website/blog? I made this blog with the sole purpose of making some easy cash, I quickly learned there’s no such thing as easy cash for the unluckiest of souls. So I started AnimeTip with the sole purpose of making cash! I think anime suits me better than writing about SEO, cause frankly I just care about my own SEO but it isn’t so interesting that I remember this stuff so well that I can write “essay like” posts about every single detail concerning SEO. My first goal is 300 bucks a month (2000 Norwegian Kroner).
2: Find Your Niché
I’ve switched my niche on this blog 3 times. First I wrote about SEO, then about anime reviews and lastly, and still ongoing, how to make a successful website/blog with AnimeTip as my focus.
The thing about niche is that, in my opinion, you have to find it interesting and/or fun. Writing about something you don’t care about will suck life out of you, however some find pleasure in the money earned, and I would too if I saw the Dollars running in on my bank account. If you’re “new to the game” though go for something you find fun to write about and people will come and read it eventually.
3:Find Your Platform
I like wordpress, it’s built for SEO with a few quirks. Find a theme that fills your needs so you won’t have to change much to get it exactly how you imagined it. I’m using the Thesis Theme, which cost $87. It’s great for my needs and their support forums is top notch with helping you out if you don’t know any coding yourself. However there’s many great free themes out there I’d suggest you’d start with.
2: Figure out your permalink setup
Permalinking is important, don’t use the default /?p=123. The best permalink setup would be either /%category%/%postname%.html or /%postname%.html (.php for pagination). The reason this is a better sollution than either /%category%/%postname%/ or /%postname%/, is because of two reasons as stated over at iamkarthik.com : Setting the best Permalink Structure.
“Over 90% of the blogs that I’ve visited/read seem to use a permalink structure of /%postname%/. This is bad for SEO for two reasons, one is that it causes a duplicate content penalty if anyone linked to your blog as /%postname% without the trailing slash. Quoting the above example, iamkarthik.com/new-test-post/ and iamkarthik.com/new-test-post would lead to the same content under different URLs. This is strictly against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. The second reason that this is bad SEO is that, as far as search engines are concerned, the post is on the second level from the domain and hence will be given less importance. Each level can be assumed as a folder, for example, if I have a page called abc.html at iamkarthik.com/subfolder/abc.h tml and xyz.html at iamkarthik.com/xyz.html; abc.html is on the second level, while xyz.html is on the first level thus giving more importance (PageRank) to xyz.html.”
I ended up having to edit 100 posts because I switched to this permalink setup along with the plugin top-level-cats so I could avoid the pesky category tag in the url, www.animetip.com/category/watch-anime/post. I choose not to have .html at this website because, frankly, I find them insanely ugly.
5: Search Engines
You have to submit your website to all the big search engines. You can do that either by going to every single one of them and do it manually, which may take them months before they show your site. Or you can get a listed website to link to yours, like I did here at the top, that was AnimeTip’s first inbound link and will get it listed. If you want someone other than your friends and family to read/check out your website, search engines is a must no?
Hajime no Ippo is an anime that will blow your mind. It’s action packed like rocky, awesome humor – I can’t stop laughing, rivalry like always, friendship and love.
The anime is Hikaru no Go, and it’s about the board game Igo (or more commonly known as Go) which is the oldest board game in the world. Yes, I know it doesn’t sound very inspirational or extremely tempting, BUT the anime is worth watching. I even went to great lengths to learn Go after watching the anime, and I must say it’s actually a very interesting game indeed.
The title say it. I believe it. Major = Pure Awesomeness. For those of you that does not know what I’m talking about, I’m talking about major the anime.
