In Response To Your Question
Unfortunately, a cheap or low cost website don't quite cut it with the search engines. To be an internet marketer you really to know two things first:
There are three important areas to selling products/services over the internet, which needs to be addressed initially:
1. Implement a proven successful internet affiliate marketing system
Here's where many newbies and intermediates fail. Either they don't have a proven successful system to implement or they missed some very important steps in their existing system. Its imperative to have a successful internet affiliate marketer, a super guru if you will, mentor you. Study under this person. There are many free ebooks available, once you join several internet marketers newsletter. This information as you read it can tell you an aweful lot.
There are so many areas to address such as, content, keywords, niche marketing, PPC advertising, email list, linking, SEO, creating a web page, site maps, articles and the list goes on. On the other hand, if you are doing this as a hobbie, then you simply get what you put in. Perhaps a sell or two or nothing at all. Whitout a system and I do want to stress SYSTEM, you are fishing in the dark. There will be plenty of trial and error which means you've made the learning significantly then what it should be. You need to strategize for the search engines to be used to promote products/services. Not all search are created equally. Are going to use for instance, Google AdSense or Adwords, MSN or Yahoo., etc.? There different approaches to keyword mining when it comes to a particular search engines. That why
knowing which keyword software tool becomes so important. Many of them as you probably are FREE. But there specific ones for specific search engines you will need to buy. This is where you really define your niche marketing and its saves time. As you may well know there are many shopping websites that one could search to get an ideal where the demands are.
2. As mentioned in #1, software is extremely important. You need automation, accuracy and to save valuable time. Software for, SEO, linking keywords, article finder, content, email lists, management/centralization, and the list goes on. One would end up with 10 or more software tools. However, for newbies starting out some of these software are free. But the first step is to find a software to create a website, unless of course its being built by scratch. I also tell newbies if you don't have the necessary skills, then you need to spend money to get those skills. Or to simply help your weak areas. The software needed for a website is critical to ones success.
3. Get a website to make the system work, software to enhance productivity and make your site search engine friendly. Are you going to advertise products/services using Google AdSense, Adwords, Yahoo or MSN, or eBay. You website or e-commerce store should be designed and optimized, in accordance to the search engines you will be using, or eBay. If you are going to use free website or blog or build a create web page, remember you get what you put into it. If you don't have the knowledge or designing skills, matters only get worst. Although you use free websites/blog, if you know what are doing. Your website must sing to its audience. A visitor will give your site only a few seconds to determine whether to leave. So content, keyword optimization, linking, site map, etc. becomes very important, if you want your site to be spidered. However, if you are not going to use PPC search engines, then understand the strategies. A different system is needed, including advertising method which are many.
I always tell newbies the best thing to do is purchase a predesigned, fully automated income generating website or e-store or both. That way a good portion of your work is completed. No html to learn, requires no technical nor designing skills. Everything is mostly done, you just concentrate on designing web pages, content, use your internet affiliate marketing system to do the rest. This also include using your software as previously mentioned.
Of course, there more involved. But I wanted just enlighten you that you really need to a more successful approach. Learning internet marketing is vital to ones success and needs to learnt first.
Take Care!
