How to Create a Free Professional Website, Simple and Easy

Many of us start blogging with either minimum or no investment initially. As a matter of fact even sites like Google had the same plan!
Basically to create a website, you need
1) Web-hosting service

I recommend 000Webhost. 1500 MB Space And 100 Gb hosting bandwidth which is more than enough for a beginner. Here are other Free Hosting services.

2) A domain name

Once you register a hosting service, you’ll need a domain name. You can have a free domain (technically, a sub-domain) on CO.CC. You’ll get a domain like yourdomain.co.cc. Register a free domain. There are other free domains like CO.TV, CO.NR etc

3) Connecting the hosting provider and the domain name

You need to link the hosting service and your domain. This can be done by name servers. You just need to log in your domain registrar’s control panel (CO.CC in this case) an then add the name servers given by your hosting company (000Webhost in this case)

Note: There are also other ways like CNAME Records, URL Forwarding etc

4) Website Scripts

Well, you need content and the content should be presented in a good way. This can be done by installing scripts on your server.

Some recommended free scripts:

1. WordPress – Blogs
2. PHPBB – Forums
3. If you need to make a small website, you can hit me with an email. I’ll do it for free.

It’s more simple than we use domain “name.blogspot.com”. To change our default blogspot name to co.cc domain name there are some steps to do. Here is the tutorial to setup domain co.cc

Getting More Comments On Your Blog

One of the most important post I was looking to write for my readers,
and after doing lots of research I have decided to put this post here.
Comment building is an art and it is very important because no one like posts with no comments and more number of comments you have on your posts people will recognize your post soon!!

Starting with the scratch how you can optimize yourself and your blog for more comments.

# Its very important that your website/blog design should be such that any reader won’t find problem in commenting. your comment box should be embedded with your post.

# Always keep reader in your mind when writing a post, always throw a question at the end of post so that reader love to write a reply or leave his own opinion..

# Puzzles, polls are one of the best way to get comments and regular reader for your blog because commenting into blog is like an addiction and once you start doing it you will love to do it all the time.

# Comment on other post: Its very important that you comment on the other post and that too sensible one.
It’s advisable to comment at the starting of the post , because most of the user click on the initial commenter.

Make it a habit to daily comment on others blog.

And comment on blog or topic which is related to yours suppose you have a technical blog and you are writing comments on love blogs, will it be of any use??
( it will be, because it will increase your back-links and thus your page rank)

# Encourage users to leave comments on your posts ,start with a conversation with the user.
people love to be a part of an active conversation so it’s important that you reply to all the comments within time and ASAP.

# Controversial Topic Title: A good topic title encourage users to visit your post, imagine yourself while you surf you always get attracted to post whose headline is something like “Obama Knocked down Bush” rather then “ Bush lost by Obama” .
# Review: While reviewing a software or product it’s very important that you compare two almost similar product so that users can come up with their own review.

# It’s Important that you should give credits to original author in case if you have taken an idea from it. because it also make the author of some famous blog to visit your blog and make him to write something about you too in his post.
In the end , Keep writing post and wait for some Sensible users/readers to understand that its not an easy job to write a good post and I’m sure People will Appreciate you soon.!!

I’m sure i might have missed certain point, if yes then do add to the post by leaving comment.

How to get your Adsense Account Approved for Blogspot with Little Trick

There is a simple trick which you can use to get your adsense account approved for blogspot domain quickly.

If your blogspot account have sufficient number of post (minimum 5+) then it’s easy to get your adsense account approved. If you have personal domain and host chances of adsense approval is very high.

Now the question is,

How you can get a free domain name?

There are many web services which provide you free domain names and that will be very handy for you to get your Google adsense account approved easily.

In this trick I will take an example of .co.cc domain.

# Register yourself by going to .co.cc domain registration page.

# Select your free domain name, I will suggest use the same domain name which you have on blogspot.

Suppose if you have domain name as virgintech.blogspot.com then search for the availability of virgintech.co.cc.

You Can Check The Domain Availability Below Also

# Activate your account and login to your .co.cc account and click on Set up>> manage domain

Select “Zone record” and in the host column enter your .co.cc domain name : virgintech.co.cc

Now select “CNAME” for Type and enter “ghs.google.com” on the value field.

By now you have done setting up your co.cc domain and it’s time now to set up your blogspot blog for the same.

How to redirect your blogspot blog to custom domain?

Login to your blogspot account, under settings>publishing, select “Switch to custom domain”

Now enter your co.cc domain name in the field and click on save.

It will take one to two days to take settings in effect.

As soon as your blog is redirected .co.cc domain , apply for adsense again.

Some time Google adsense reject the application, the key word is resubmit your application.

Even I got my adsense account approved after almost 15 resubmission.
