Tips for your Site

1. IF SOMEONE SIGNS YOUR GUESTBOOK (OR ANY WHERE ON YOUR SITE) ADD THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST. VISIT THEIR SITE, AND BE SURE TO RETURN THE FAVOR. _____________________________________________________

2. FIND A LONG FRIENDS LIST ON SOMEONES SITE, AND START VISITING. SIGN GUESTBOOKS AND LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THEIR SITES. DON'T BE RUDE, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEIR SITE, JUST LEAVE. DON'T BOTHER SIGNING ANYTHING.

_____________________________________________________

3. NEVER JUST LEAVE YOUR SITE NAME ON A SITE. IT IS VERY RUDE, AND YOU ARE LIKELY TO NOT BE VISITED. AND IF YOU DO GET VISITED YOU WILL PROBABLY RECEIVE A RUDE COMMENT FOR ONLY LEAVING YOUR SITE NAME ON THEIR SITE. _____________________________________________________

4. UPDATE YOUR SITE OFTEN. I REALIZE ALOT OF YOU ARE IN SCHOOL, AND THAT INTERFERS WITH YOUR WEBSITE BUILDING TIME, BUT UPDATING IS A MUST, IF YOU ARE TOO BUSY WITH SCHOOL AT THE MOMENT. YOU MIGHT OUGHT TO LEAVE A NOTE *OR MANY NOTES* THROUGHOUT YOUR SITE LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHY THE FEW UPDATES, THEY WILL UNDERSTAND. _____________________________________________________

5. SET UP LOTS OF ADVERTISING PAGES ON YOUR SITE. SUCH AS RECOMMENDED, TOP 10, SOTW, AFFILIATES, ETC. PEOPLE LIKE TO ADVERTISE THEIR SITES, OR ELSE YOU WOULD NOT BE READING THIS RIGHT NOW. SO HELP THEM GET ADVERTISED, AND OTHERS WILL HELP YOU. _____________________________________________________

6. NEVER STEAL FROM ANOTHER SITE, IT MAKES YOUR SITE LOOK BAD. PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO COME BACK AND VISIT A SITE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ANOTHER SITE, AND A NEW TRADEMARK PLACED. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PROGRAM TO CREATE YOUR OWN THINGS. ADD OTHER PEOPLES CREATIONS. PEOPLE ARE NOT ON YOUR SITE TO SEE JUST YOUR WORK.  _____________________________________________________

7. PLUG EVERY PLUG BOARD YOU CAN FIND. YOU MIGHT NOT THINK THE BUTTON WILL GET NOTICED BUT IVE CLICKED ALOT OF BUTTONS IN PLUG BOARDS JUST TO CHECK OUT SITES. IF YOURS WAS THERE I COULD HAVE CLICKED YOURS!

_____________________________________________________

8. ENTER LOADS OF COMPETITIONS. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF NICE SITES, JUST BECAUSE I SEEN A NICE BLEND IN A COMPETITION AND CHECKED OUT THEIR SITE. OR BECAUSE THEY HAD WON THE COMPETITION. SO ENTER LOADS OF COMPETITIONS. _____________________________________________________

9. IF YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CREATIONS, PUT YOUR NAME ON EVERYTHING YOU CREATE. NOW IM NOT SAYING PUT IT DEAD CENTER OF THE CREATION OR NO ONE WILL WANT TO USE IT. BUT PUT YOUR SITE NAME. I HAVE ALSO VISITED ALOT OF SITES JUST BECAUSE I SEEN THEIR NAME ON A CREATION. _____________________________________________________

10. BE SURE TO ADD LOTS OF PEOPLE TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST. I HAVE SET UP A POLL RECENTLY AND ONE QUESTION WAS HOW DID YOU FIND MY SITE, AND 85% SAY FRIENDS LISTS. SO BE FRIENDS WITH ALOT OF PEOPLE. IT WILL BE A GOOD TURN OUT.

_______________________________________________________________

11. NEVER NEVER EVER PASSWORD PROTECT YOUR SITE. I HAVE HAD LOTS OF SITES IN MY FAVORITES FOLDER. AND WHEN I NEED TO GO TO THAT SITE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO IT, NOT WAIT AND KEEP CHECKING BACK TO SEE WHEN THEY MIGHT FINALLY OPEN AGAIN. IF I HAVE A SITE IN MY FAVORITES AND I FIND IT PASSWORD PROTECTED ONCE, THEY ARE REMOVED FROM MY FAVORITES. WHEN I NEED SOMETHING I NEED IT THEN NOT WHEN THEY OPEN THE SITE BACK UP. _____________________________________________________

12. WELL IM SURE YOUR ASKING WHAT ABOUT UPDATES, HOW DO I UPDATE MY SITE THEN. ITS ABOUT 10-15 MINS AND THEY SEE THE COMPLETED PAGE. ITS WELL WORTH IT! AND HALF THE TIME IM SURE THEIR NOT EVEN ON THE PAGE IM EDITING. IN THAT WHOLE 10-15 MINS IM EDITING ANYWAY. _____________________________________________________

13. OR JUST PASSWORD PROTECT THAT PAGE THAT YOU NEED TO EDIT, NOT THE ENTIRE WEBSITE. THIS IS ALL THE TIPS I HAVE FOR YOU AS OF RIGHT NOW. SHOULD I COME UP WITH MORE TIPS ON HOW TO GET MORE HITS I WILL BE SURE TO ADD THEM. THANKS FOR READING, AND GOOD LUCK WITH THE VISITOR STATS.
