SEO and Marketing for Your Weebly Site by R Fox

Have you checked out Weebly yet? If not then maybe you should. Weebly is a great way to build a web site absolutely free with no ads. Unlike free web site programs of the past where it was burdened with pop up ads and advertisements, Weebly is 100% free and with virtually no advertising. In fact you can even optimize a Weebly site with SEO techniques you have already used. Let's look at the basics here.

First let's look at on page SEO in Weebly. This is very simple to do. First you will need to be in the web site editor of your site. Then you will need to click on the settings tab and scroll down until you see the SEO tab. Here it is folks you can add all of your meta information here including description, keywords, Footer code such as Google Analytics and finally you can add your Google verification code to add to Webmaster tools. The rest of the on page SEO is nothing different then any other site where you make your pages keyword rich and full of great content.

Now how about off page SEO for a Weebly site? Really this is the same as off page SEO of any other site but if you are new at the whole game let me give you some pointers. You need Quality backlinks. If you did not understand let me say it again. You Need some quality backlinks. Get my point? Here are some ways to get them.

1) Create compelling content that people will naturally link to.
2) Write articles related to what your site is about putting your links with anchor text in your resource box. Some good article sites are EzineArticles, Go Articles, Article Base to name a few.
3) Do some press release at prlog.org about some of your products again providing a link back to your site.
4) Comment on do follow blogs
5) Submit to related directories, and yes this does till work if the directories are quality
6) Create a well thought out Squidoo Lens.
7) Create a well though our hub at hubpages
8) Participate in related forums putting your link in your signature
9) And finally ping everything you do through ping.fm (be sure to set it up properly to bing a variety of social bookmarks that you will need to set up.)

So there you have it. These are the basics and if followed you should succeed with your new Weebly site. Remember Weebly sites are no different for the most part then any other site you have built. The only difference is that they are FREE and you don't have to pay for anything. I don't know about you but I like FREE...

Easy Website Builder - Drag and Drop Website Builders Make Getting Your Business Online Easy by Henry Black

In the not too distant past, in order to create a website for your business and get it online, you would have to learn HTML code, and build your website from scratch. Then, once your site was finished, you would have to upload the page to your website using a somewhat arcane FTP program. This kept many people from being able to explore their business ideas online. Today, however, it's possible to find an easy website builder that will bring powerful tools for easily creating professional looking websites into the hands of the most casual users.

It's possible with newly available software to create a professional looking website from start to finish in five minutes or less without writing a single bit of HTML code. By dragging and dropping pre-built blocks to create a layout, these site creation tools allow new and even experienced Internet marketers focus their time and energy on marketing instead of HTML design and coding. This allows them to get their business online quickly so that they can see a return for their efforts sooner.

Features that you should look for an online website creation package include the following:

* Predefined layouts to speed up the design process-with this feature, there's no need to start with a completely blank page.
* A library of prebuilt banners covering a wide variety of markets. Again, new marketers frequently don't have the resources or the ability to create their own custom graphics for website headers. Ideally, this software should provide an easy path for these people.
* Drag and drop layout. The software should allow users to build the structure of their website using drag-and-drop building blocks as opposed to a selection of predefined formats. This will allow new users to easily design their sites, while giving experienced marketers the flexibility to create just exactly the look that they want.
* The ability to seamlessly manage the addition, placement, and resizing of images. Users should be able to add images either from their hard drive or from the web, and the software should intelligently handle the rest. The software should handle other media files such as video or screen shots just as seamlessly.
* Image storage. The software ideally should allow users to store image files so that they could be used on multiple projects if needed. This would help keep users from needing to find images on their local hard drive or on the Web more than once.
* Simple page and site duplication. It should be very simple for a user to create a template using the software and then easily duplicate this page over and over to create his site. Ideally, the software should also make it easy to copy an entire site in case the user wishes to reuse the layout in a different niche.
* Finally, an easy website builder should handle the process of uploading the final web page to the Web host. This eliminates the need for learning and using a complicated FTP program. It also allows for changes to the website to become "live" very rapidly.
