Adding Header Tags To Homesteads Websites

July 17, 2008

 This article will explain  the basic procedure for adding Header tags to Homestead Websites. According to the experts, who teach about website optimization, the H1 tag is a very important player in the process of getting high rankings in the search engine results pages. There are three HTML tags that are consider to be of great value, the h1, h2 and h3. For the beginning ( or, “amature”) Homestead Websites user, these tags are never implemented because there are really no tutorials about using them within the Site Builder help section. But as the beginner continues to research and learn about building websites, eventually the h1 tag is mentioned somewhere in their travels on the Internet and the curiosity begins. The process of optimizing a Site Builder website page correctly entails many different applications and adding header tags to a Homestead website is extremely important.

 

Adding a Head Tag to a Homestead Website

 

  1. Decide what keyword phrase will be used as the h1 tag.

  2. In the Homestead Site Builder, at the top menu bar, there is a symbol that looks like a sheet of paper with the edge folded over and a cross in the center, left click on it.

  3. Scroll down and choose “Insert HTML,” a box will appear. Shape the box to the estimated size of your keyword phrase.

  4. Left click on the box. Then to the right of your screen, click on the tab that says “Enter or Paste HTML.”

  5. Enter this code, omit the parentaces  ( <h1>Your Text Here</h1> )

  6. Click on “OK” then click “Preview”

The same method applies for adding an h1, h2 or h3 tag to  Homesteads Websites, you just change the code for the tag you need. This basic method will only produce the color black for the text. To learn how to change the color and the size of the text you will have to visit this page. http://websiteproducts.homestead.com/index.html

Everything That’s Good

June 10, 2008

So here is the link to Everything That’s Good, the website I built using Homestead Websites. Here is a tip about making money with a Homestead websites online, you don’t necessarily need to have a .com or .net domain. What you need more than anything is traffic entering into your pages where you have your products or pay per click advertisements.  When I got the idea to start this particular site  I already was managing about 8 .com or .net sites. The thought of investing more money left my mind as quickly as it entered.  So I decided I would try something, making money with Adsense with a .Homestead website. After watching a few of the videos at one of my sites called Best Adsense Videos I decided to make this thing a profitable venture.

What I tried was to drive traffic to the site called Everything That’s Good  without it even being indexed by the search engines. Day one returned successful Google advertisement revenue ( What is Adsense). I began to implement the ads on a couple of pages and then began creating many links in different forums and posting to free advertising sites online. I have an article, “Traffic Homestead Website,” that will help give you some ideas on getting a lot of visitors to a new website. The more links that you can create the more visitors that will show up.

Soon making money with “Everything That’s Good” became the most lucrative website that I have. Sure I have sites that get top rankings in Google, not just a few pages but many. I have made more money with this Homestead website than any of my other ones. The reason is because I had targeted traffic and targeted keywords that pay good money . To learn more about the use of keywords with Adsense check it out at the Best Adsense Videos website.

How To Add A Site Map-Homestead Website

May 18, 2008

By the Sarasota bay front near the Purple CowTo add (or adding) a site map to the Homesteads websites site builder program there are a few things that must be accomplished first. This article will provide the “how to” steps needed for creating and uploading one into the file manager configuration of the site builder program. Once this procedure is accomplished successfully the information can be uploaded into a Google Web masters Tools account which will better the chances of getting higher rankings and more pages indexed by the search engines.

Steps For Creating Homestead Websites Sitemaps (linked to video)

1) Create a file on your computer to download the map into. I usually save the file as what ever the website name is.

2) Go to a website called XML - sitemaps.com. Enter the URL and click the start button.

3) Download the map into the file that you created for it on your computer.

4) Go to your site builder program and open it to the file manager page.

5) Click the Import icon at the top left of the page just under the help text.

6) Browse your computer files and find the one that you downloaded the Homestead Website-site map into.

7) Open the file then click on the text that says, sitemap.xml

8) Click on the open tab and the desired file will be added to the index to your right.

9) Scroll through your files until you get to the sitemap.xml, click on it to highlight, then publish it. The page will not open into a different page but will remain in the file manager. You have now completed the task.

Adding a site map to a Google Web masters Tools file for a Homestead Website will require that you have a free Google account set up. Within this program you will find a section for web masters. It may take a while to learn the ropes but once you have figured out how to add your sites into this section you will find a text link that says “add sitemap.” When you find the section that has your websites URL in bold black print at the bottom of the instructions, with a text box next to it, insert the words “sitemap.xml and click on the tab below the box. That should be all that is needed your finished.

What Causes Homestead Websites Pages To Load Slowly?

May 14, 2008

When I first started using the site builder, I didn’t understand about what causes Homestead websites pages to load slowly. I would load the pages with many of the special effects that the program offers, not realizing that these things were creating very slow loading times. Now, since I have been building sites for a while, I know where the hang-ups occur and how to avoid slow loading pages with my websites designs.

Tips for slow loading Homestead website pages

Either avoid or keep to minimum use:

1) Scrolling text, spinning, bouncing & flashy things

2) Homesteads video feature (uploading Youtube Flash is OK)

3) Insert audio feature keep to a minimum per page

4) Photo shows or photos that are not optimized correctly

5) The rounded corners on the colored back grounds

6) Large areas of or to many colored backgrounds

7) Animated moving characters

8) Insert text boxes and submit buttons for forms

9) Lots of links on one page

10) Several HTML box inserts from sites like Goolge for advertisements also the type of display that the HTML code renders

11) Form elements such as text boxes, submit buttons, and drop down menus will add extra weight to your pages.

If your Homestead website page loads slowly start with a process of elimination of some of these items that we have listed. I have read that a good rule to follow is to keep Kbs size to less than 35Kbs. This can be determined in your file manager once you have published the page, right next to the title of the page. The size of the page is not reflected when you alter it and just preview the changes, you must publish the page.
