The Big Show
This article is meant to help you realize when it's time to get a dot com and pay web hosting (The Big Show).
Are you ready for The Big Show?
Is your web site ready for pay web hosting and a domain name? We'll, if your making money off your web site and don't already have a domain name, shame on you. It's only $35 a year for a dot com, and it gives visitors an easy URL to remember. It also shows your visitors you are serious about your web site.
Pay hosting on the other hand can be expensive, but if your serious about your web site, and you get alot of traffic, get pay hosting. Pay hosting is much more reliable, and should have more features. A great pay host is http://www.icom.com , the offer pay hosting at $8.95 a month for 45 megs, and are very reliable. In the 4 months I have used them for my web site, I have NEVER seen their server down.
Now it's your decision, are you ready for The Big Show, or is your web site not quite ready yet? If your site is getting at least 50 unique visitors a day, and your monthly traffic totals are increasing monthly, you are ready so get out that credit card and lets go shopping.
Welcome to The Big Show!
You may say now, "I've already opened my wallet and spent the money, but I still am not having the type of success I had hoped, I'm still losing money". Well, for now just keep building your site at a rapid pace, and put as much original content on it as possible.
Ask your visitors to e-mail you and tell you what they think of your web site. If they think it's great, and say they will tell other people about it then, chances are you have done your job, and it's just a matter or promoting your web site now.
I'm not going to go into detail on promotion, because that's not what this article is about, but I'll give you a few good ideas. Spend hours looking for other web sites like yours and ask if they will trade links with your site. Most of the times they will say yes. Also, if you would like to spend money on promotion, I suggest bidding on a keyword in the search engine GoTo.com. You can get visitors to your site with them for as little as $.01 a visitor.
Well I hope this article will help you realize if your web site is really ready for The Big Show. It can be costly to get those front row tickets, but is it worth it? That's a decision you must make.
