There are so many ways to build a website that sometimes it can
be confusing.
The first thing you need to decide when building a website is,
what is its primary purpose?
Will you use your site only to build a list, will you provide
content, do you want to generate passive income?
These are all questions you want to answer before you begin to
build your website.
Once you decide what type of website you want to build, then
choose the right tools. This will save you a lot of frustration
in building a new website, and it's not really necessary for
your to understand HTML in order to build an effective website.
1. Landing Pages Landing page builders are effective if you want
to build a list. You can also use them to help you promote on
sites like Google Adwords or Overture.
Most of these sites require some type of landing page now
because they won't allow you send your traffic directly to an
affiliate program.
You can use these tools to help you build landing pages for your
pay per click campaigns.

2. Content Pages Content will make your site sticky. This is
especially effective if you choose to use some type of program
like Google Adsense to monetize your site.
The easiest way to make your site sticky is to use articles.
Make sure that the articles you choose are valuable to your
readers and solve a problem.
You also want to choose keyword rich articles targeted to your
market.

search the article directories. It will also format the articles
in HTML for you, saving you hours of coding.

quickly you can get your site online.
If you don't know how to write HTML, there are editors available
to you that will do this for you.

4. Content Management Systems If you plan to build a content
rich website, you will find a content management system to be
the best choice. With a few clicks of your mouse you can totally
change the look of your site.
It's also much easier to add and organize content.
The most important aspects of a content management system are
ease of use and search engine friendly.

5. Other Scripts If the thought of creating or writing content
makes you crazy, let others create it for you.
The easiest way to add content to your site is to offer an
article directory. Then all you have to do is monetize and
promote your new site.
Article Dashboard - http://www.articledashboard.com - is a free
article script you can use to create your own article directory.
It's very easy to customize, and very search engine friendly. It

Regardless of what solution you choose for building your
website, make it search engine friendly, well organized, and
rich in content and resources.
Choose your tools before you build your website, and you'll
build a better website.
