Webmaster Resources
Your best resources will be the software you choose to help you manage your website. You may want a image tool or photo resizer, an FTP (file transfer protocol) tool, and a text editor (Notepad or Wordpad is fine), at minimum. Since 1995 I've been following the tools available and found the features I like best in those I recommend on this website and I use them myself daily. They make my job easier for the least cost investment. I explain them in my "Webmaster Yourself" guide. My favorite Site Development Software does much of the work for me and you can use it yourself and do your own webmaster chores so your website always says just what you want it to say and don't pay anyone to update it for you.
Links and Why They Matter
Relative links from other websites increase your website's ranking and visibility helping Internet surfers looking for the information you provide find your website easier. This is very important if you need to sell a service or product, or even an idea. It is free advertising and can save you lots of marketing dollars bringing traffic to your website.
High quality links are best. It has become obvious that Google will boost rank for relevant links and decrease rank for irrelevant links, so you should add links to websites with similar subjects and content and avoid most others.
MyMinisites.net welcomes worldwide link exchanges with relevant websites.
Just add the following title and description and email your reciprocal link request to me - webmaster, at webmaster@myminisites.net. I will respond as quickly as possible.

Keywords and Why They Matter
If you are interested in FREE Traffic to your website, KEYWORDS do matter - a lot!. Few clubs or personal websites will need to worry about keywords at all. But if you want to attract the people looking for you or your service, you want to select a dozen or so specific phrases as keywords to load into your website that describe your club, or service, or product, or answers to questions that people ask researching online for the service, product, or information that your website provides.
When you use this method, and my webmaster Yourself guides to build your website, you will have "natural traffic" or "organic traffic". It can save you lots of money in advertising online or off. I recommend that you consider adding other advertising using tracking methods which show your traffic and profits by source so that you know how effective your marketing efforts are. All the experts will offer you SEO services, which is what you will be able to avoid when using my "Webmaster Yourself" methods that is naturally SEO friendly.
Choosing good keywords and loading them properly into your website is called Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, and so SEO friendly means you've got your keywords loaded up correcly so that you can show up on page one of the SERP (search engine results page).
You need to think about your website and what it offers your visitors. Ideally you want to load your website content (text) with the right keyword phrases so searchers can find your website. Think about what YOU would type into a search engine, like Google, if you want to "find" your website for the solution to what you are looking for.
