When you start off creating websites for profit your head is filled with great ideas however most of these ideas will never get off the ground and if your anything like me then you’ve probably already purchased the domain name to match your idea but lack the time or skills to develop it. At the start of my web journey i purchased domains like it was an addiction and i have a large collection of unused but potential money making domains.

This guide will show you how to create a simple content website that will take on average 4-5 hours and although the projected income for such a website is low you will atleast break even with your domain costs. If you purchased a .info for $0.99 then you’ve not got far to go, so have a look below.

Step1 - Setting up the domain and hosting

Although pretty basic, without changing the nameservers on the domain your visitors won’t be seeing any websites! In this tutorial we are going to be using Godaddy as an example - for the simple reason that it’s where a large number of my own domains are registered.

I am going to assume that if you have any number of unused domains you are likely to have some hosting for your used domains, if not then you should check out hostgator as a viable solution. I use them for Blog Me Famous and i have had no problems to date - if you are considering ordering a hosting account then please make sure to pick the ‘baby’ package as they allow unlimited domains to be added.

• Login to godaddy and point your domain/s to your hosting accounts designated nameservers (should be contained in your welcome email from the hosting company.)

• Once the domain is pointing to your hosting accounts nameservers, you can now head over to the hosting account and add the domain via the ‘addon domain’ feature. We will be using cpanel as the example.

Afterwhich you should recieve a confirmation message and thats you domain setup ready to go. This is just the basics outlined as most of you will already know how to setup this. If not you can find more documentation in Godaddys FAQ and cpanels FAQ.

Step 2 - Installing wordpress

Wordpress features a page section inwhich you can add an unlimited number of webpages to your site, this allows you to create a content based website with great SEO capabilities without knowing how to design - a large range of free templates available - and how to code. Installation is easy through cpanel’s fantastico feature, however if you don’t have fantastico installed with cpanel you can easily install it through FTP. To do so just head over to wordpress, download the latest version and read the install guide.

• Installing through fantastico is simple just click on wordpress and follow the step by step instructions. If you created an addon domain you should be able to choose it from the drop down menu shown below.

Once completed thats your blog automatically setup with the latest version of wordpress. Upgrading to new versions is easy and simple through cpanel (click of a button) so from now on there is no need to go editing your wordpress files.

Step 3 - Setting up wordpress for a content website

Configure the blog options.

• Log into wordpress using domain/wp-admin/ and click on the options tab > reading, here you can set the frontpage to static or you can have a content website with a blog front. If you don’t plan to post on this website then i would just set it to a static page

• Now head over to the Manage tab then ‘Pages’, here you can add the various pages you would like your content site to be based on. Keep the page titles keyword specific - relating to the content of the page.

Once the pages are created you are going to need content. I would advise spending a couple of hours writing articles about your niche, make them around 500 words in length and keyword dense articles geared towards your niche. You can use the overture tool to find some long tail keywords to target. Go for words close to the bottom but with a decent amount of searches per month and then rinse and repeat. Try to get around 6-7 articles up to start off with and if you know about your niche writing these won’t take to long.

• Edit the pages adding the articles to the website and make appropriate changes if needed.

Step4 - Using an adsense theme to increase revenue

The idea of this website is to make revenue and if your good at targeting a niche you could easily make $5 a month without any costly promotional techniques. Although $5 won’t seem much if like me you have 100 odd domains unused then all those little pennies add up. Remember this is a guide showing you a way inwhich you can get that spent domain money back.

• Download Dosh Dosh’s pro-adsense template and unzip, this is the one i use for the majority of my content websites, it comes fully loaded with adsense and it looks professional. I prefer the grey template, for me it converts better. So download what template you would like keeping inmind my recommendation.

• Download a simple program called ‘search and replace‘ if your planning on changing anything that already has an adsense id in it to your own use this program. It saves you time fiddling with every single file.

• Change the adsense code to your own, quickly and without hassle. Once you’ve installed the Search and Replace tool open it up and navigate to your prosense template folder through the search and replace tool. Here you can now ask it to go through every file in this folder and change a specific text.

Copy the find what text from the image above and add your adsense id then click go. It will change every instance of the old adsense id into your own and the whole process takes less than a second.

• Upload the new template and activate it. Open your ftp program and navigate to your domain folder -> wp-content -> themes and upload the newly edited theme (should now contain your adsense id) to the web. head into the wordpress admin section and click on ‘activate theme’ in the presentation tab.

Step 5 - Promote your website

Promoting a content site is not expensive and we are looking to be targetting long tail keywords so search engines will be what we are aiming for.

• Submit your sitemap to google webmaster tools and google should now crawl your website and find your unique content. Writing your own content means that google will index your pages and allow users to find it through the search engine.

• Add your website to directories. There is a long list of free directories which can bring in traffic and create backlinks i’m not going to list them all here but you can view a nice offering over at SEOcompany

• Submit your links to StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious plus any other networking website you are a member of.

Finally, To increase your search engine rank try to create a new article every other week and add it to your website. Search Engines will crawl and index content on a regular basis so the more content the more organic traffic your website is likely to receive.

Adding an additional source of income for content sites is a great idea. AuctionAds is an adnetwork that allows you to display ebay auctions on your website by supplying a keyword.

Update: For those interested in this service view the comments for important news on this system

Everyone knows Affiliate links can earn you big money but have you ever thought about adding an additional stream of income to your weblinks. Cashinx is a new service i came across today and although the website is badly designed and the project still in it’s infancy the potential of a service like this is great.

Cashinx offers a whole new way of monetizing blogs and websites, with adverts that can be placed upon any link. The Cashinx service allows two options to display the ads, Static (placing a header advert above your website) and Interstitial (displaying a 10second advert before forwarding to the content) allowing you to maximize your income from your websites.

Publishers payment is through paypal i presume, although there was no direct documentation during the signup process the site requests your paypal email address. The website lacks alot of information and could do with a new web2.0 makeover before they introduce a marketing campaign.

What Cashinx Offers;

• An additional stream of revenue for any type of outbound links from your website
• Payout through paypal to publishers
• Link Approval system to stop system abuse (adult links / illegal content)
• Two ad options - Static and Interstitial
• Basic tracking system
• Up to 70% payout for publishers

While creating a similar service yourself and keeping 100% of the earnings is possible, Cashinx offers those who don’t have the experience to do it themselves an automated process for implementing another stream of income for your website. Please keep in mind that the Cashinx service is in it’s infancy and while i’ve signed up i cannot vouch for the stability of the service.

Suggested Improvements For Cashinx

• Web 2.0 look with a new signup process
• Ad system to show only relevant ads maybe by keywords when creating links
• Introducing an ‘advertisers’ section to display banners / text links

If your interested in checking out Cashinx you can checkit out here Aswell as setting up a static example of an advert leading to this blog here.

Goals are great, they give you something to work towards and when achieved can make you feel proud. I tend to have a problem with finishing websites and if i do finish them i usually don’t get round to promoting them until weeks after they’ve been online. One site in particular which im extremely proud of is Fragbucket - Video Game Media Website that i created in January 2006 with an alexa rank of 410,000 and eating up server rental costs leaving it without attention is losing me alot of money so this week it’s my main focus as i just turned down a generous offer from a buyer. What was i thinking!

What is Fragbucket?

Fragbucket is a niche video website aimed at electronic sports (eSports.) If your unsure of what esports is then it’s competitive gaming - Playing opponents in video games, usually the PC or the xbox for large sums of money in online leagues and tournaments. It’s an underground sport but is now starting to appear on Television and Online Media. If you live in the United Kingdom switch over to channel 291 on Sky to see Xleague Television for a more indepth look at it.

If you want to know a little more about this project then here’s some features of the website:

• Video Uploads and Conversion to FLV format
• Video Uploads supporting all major formats and upload sizes limited to 1GB
• Integrated Forums with database and style
• Complete CSS tableless Design
• Adsense Revenue Sharing for Uploaders called ‘FragCash’

The idea of fragbucket is to allow users to upload videos and share them, yes similar to youtube but with one advantage. The quality of the videos created are much higher on Fragbucket and that is one main reason why gamers will prefer Fragbucket over the likes of youtube.

This weeks goals in improving Fragbucket

This week i will be focusing most of my time on Fragbucket to improve the design, add new features and then start some sort of promotion campaign - Not sure if it will be PPC based but most probably. Making a site userfriendly is one of the most important aspects of design and one inwhich i have failed at in creating fragbucket so to rectify the mistakes here’s my plan of action;

• Move the Login box to the top right for easy access and to the ‘industry standard’ area
• Improve Ad positions and blending (probably removing the majority without affecting the adsense sharing)
• Add a Filter by Game option to search through videos by Game or Console
• Remove the ‘Roll over effect’ on buttons and text
• Improve the layout and restructure the homepage
• Optimize the servers for faster streaming

Once the website is fixed up and looking alot better the plans for promotion are, Banner advertising on high traffic videogame websites, Competitions and sponsor prize giveaways and PPC advertising. But there is one thing that i am not sure on and i would like your opinions,

Should i change the colour scheme of the website? (white and blue maybe..)

What do i hope to achieve in 3months time?

• An Alexa rank of 100,000 or lower
• A large and active forum community
• Weekly prizes and giveaways
• Making a couple of dollars atleast

Although my main concern is not making money when it comes to Fragbucket, it’s a website i made because i enjoyed videogames. It forced me to learn php, css, html ect… in more detail than before and now i really need to get it to pay for itself.
