In order to register your new domain name, you need to use the services of a domain name registration company and there are literally dozens of such companies. However, my favorite domain name registration organization is The Internet Company because they offer extremely reasonable prices and are a very professional outfit.
Draw up a list of possible domain names that you might register, starting with the most obvious one which is the name of the product. Domain names have to be unique, so someone else might have registered it already, hence having the short list. Take the first name from your list and check it by typing it into the ‘name check’ box on the homepage:
Click the ‘Search’ button, and you see that this particular name is still available, so you would go ahead and register it:
If you do not already have an account with The Internet Company, then you will need to open one before you can register your new domain.
If possible, I would also recommend that you register your new domain name for a period of at least two years, because it is generally believed that the major search engines like Google look more favorably on websites that are built under a domain name that is registered for at least two years.
Another thing that you should try to do if at all possible is to register a.com domain name. Despite a plethora of new domain name suffixes over the past couple of years, most people who use the internet on a regular basis still tend to think of the World Wide Web as being a ‘.com sort of place’. This is important, because over the next few months, you are going to do a great deal of promotion to send visitors to your web site and you are also going to build your ‘brand name’ at the same time.
It is therefore completely feasible that people will get to recognize the ‘Complete Depression Cure’ name. However, if they forget the exact URL of your site, you can absolutely guarantee that their first attempt to find it by typing a domain name into their internet browser window will be by typing in the.com ‘version’.
Whilst a few of the newer domain name suffixes do offer some interesting possibilities, (e.g. if you could register something like del.icio.us or love.me, that would be very cool), most of the best domain names have already been taken. Consequently, it is almost always going to be most effective to register a.com domain name that is directly related to the name of the product you are ultimately going to create.
With your domain name registered, you are ready to move on to the next step in the setup process, which is to establish a web hosting account. This is an account with a company who are going to ‘rent’ you some space on their ‘servers’, which is the name given to computers that house and present websites over the internet.
Incidentally, although most domain name registration companies also offer web hosting facilities, online marketers usually recommend that you keep your domain name registration company and web hosting separate. In this way, you are not entrusting the whole of your business to one third party operation because it is clear that there may be some dangers in doing this. Moreover, whilst it is generally accepted that there are many web hosting companies that are internet business friendly, it is also widely understood that there are many web hosts who are the opposite.
One other cogent fact about web hosting companies is that there are many of them who sell their products or services by offereing dirt cheap web hosting. Whilst it is understandable that because you pay web hosting fee every month, you would want to look for a reasonable deal, you should not make the mistake of choosing a web hosting company simply because they offer the cheapest hosting rates.
Where web hosting companies are concerned, it is my experience that you get what you pay for. Hence, if you go for the cheapest package you can find, you are likely to suffer in terms of service.
For instance, you are 100% reliant on your web host to make sure that your site is ‘live’ and visible when anyone tries to visit.
If you use a really cheap host, it is more than likely that they are re-seller (effectively, an ‘agent’ for the host owner), and that they do not own or control their own servers. Consequently, if your site goes down for some reason, they are not in a position to ensure that they get your site back online as quickly as you would definitely like them to.
But if your site is down, you are effectively out of business, so ‘uptime’ is a critical factor to consider when choosing a web host.
Moreover, as it is likely that because of the fees they are charging, they are very probably renting dirt cheap server space themselves, the
likelihood of your site being down for extended periods of time is significantly increased by using the cheapest web hosting account you can find.
For a web hosting company that is extremely internet business friendly, one that also offers extremely competitive prices and guaranteed 99.9% uptime, you need look no further than Hostgator.com. Their ‘Baby’ account would cost you $7.95 a month and for that, you can host as many individual web sites on the same account as you like, and you also have unlimited disk space and bandwidth as well:
As a simple shared hosting account of this nature is perfectly adequate for the time being, this is the one I would recommend you go for.
After you have completed the account signup process, you will receive an e-mail from Hostgator that gives you information about your new account.
You need this information to finalize the initial setup process, because the third and last job is to ‘tie’ your domain name and web hosting account together. This is technically known as ‘changing the DNS’ (Domain Name Server), and whilst there are instructional videos about 2/3 of the way down this Hostgator support page, here is a quick run through of how you do this job.
Go back to your domain name registration account and click on the domain that you just registered to open it up. What you are looking for is a ‘Nameserver’ icon that will look a little something like this:
By clicking on the icon, you are presented with the screen from which you change the Nameserver information. You will be offered a choice of Nameserver options from which you need to choose ‘Custom Nameservers’.
After this, access the e-mail that Hostgator sent when you opened your hosting account with them. You will find the Hostgator Nameserver information in this e-mail. It should look something like this (although the addresses will be different):
------------------------------- Nameserver Information --------------------------------
Primary: NS.DNSPROJECT.COM Secondary: NS2.DNSPROJECT.COM
Copy the information from the e-mail into the ‘Custom Nameservers’ boxes as shown:
And finally clicked the ‘OK’ or ‘Go’ button. You should see a confirmation that the changes are being made, and you will probably also receive a confirmation e-mail from your domain name register.
It is then simply a matter of waiting 24-48 hours at the outside for the changes to take place, although if you are using Hostgator, the changes are generally actioned considerably more quickly.
Once the changes have been made, if you visit the CompleteDepressionCure.com homepage, you should see something like this:
This indicates that the changes have been made because otherwise, what you would see would be a ‘Parked’ page served by your original domain registry company.
What now?
The final initial set up step is to create the website that you are going to use to build your online business.
Nowadays, almost every online business entrepreneur or marketer has their own blog, and as a consequence of the immense popularity of blog sites, blogging platforms like WordPress have developed to a point where they are almost the complete site building tool.
Moreover, because many web hosts (including Hostgator) empower you to manage the construction of your site using what is known as a ‘cpanel’, installing your site is a matter of no more than five minutes work.
The first thing that you therefore need to do is to log in to your ‘cpanel’. To do this, you would type in the URL of your site to your browser window, and then add /cpanel at the end (e.g. completedepressioncure.com/cpanel). This opens up the log-in area, so you log-in.
Once you have done so, the specific look of the cpanel that you are presented with will be dictated by the ‘theme’ or ‘skin’ that you are using.
 

Near to the bottom of the page, you will find various ‘Software and services’ options. The one that you are looking for is ‘Fantastico De Luxe’ (it is sometimes called ‘Fantastico’ only, depending on which web host you use, but it is the same thing):
What you have with ‘Fantastico’ is a suite of software programs that are already installed on your site, so that all you need to do is to activate the program that you want to use. By clicking on the icon, you will be presented with a list of the software programs available:
Relatively near to the top, under ‘Blogs’, you will find WordPress.
Click on the WordPress link, and you can install the program on your site with almost no effort whatsoever.
On the next page, click ‘New Installation’ and then complete the required details on the page after that.
Moving down from the top of the page, as you have just installed your new domain on this web hosting account, it is going to show your main domain name at the top of the page (1):
Under this (2), if you want to install WordPress on a sub-directory of your site, then you would type in a new directory name here.
In this case, however, the WordPress installation is to be on the main site, and not in any subdirectory. Consequently, this box would be left empty, meaning that the URL of the main WordPress homepage will be ‘CompleteDepressionCures.com.
Next, create an admin access user name and password (3 & 4). These can be anything you want, but you must keep them both safe as you will be using these to log in to WordPress to start building your site a little further down the line.
Your admin nickname (5) will be used whenever you post new information to your site, so try to use a name that suggests some kind
of connection with or expertise about the subject matter around which your site is going to be based.
Under that, you add a contact e-mail (6) and finally, you have to give your site a name (7) and a description (8). Because these will be used by the search engines, you should make sure that this information ties in with the central purpose of your site. Click on ‘Install WordPress’ (9) and then ‘Finish installation’ on the next page, and that it is the job done.
Incidentally, the program will ask you whether you want the information about the installation sending by e-mail, and I would always recommend that you do so because that ensures that you do not lose the details of what you have just done.
And, with the installation complete, if you open the CompleteDepressionCure.com/depressionfacts page, what you are going to see if something like this:
It’s certainly nothing too exciting at this moment, but it is live and online, meaning that you can now start building your website based business from this moment on.

There are basically three words that can describe spam accurately: desperate, manipulative, evil.  While that may sound like the resume of some soap opera villain, it rings true for every one of us who have ever been burned by spam.  Spam is an example of why sometimes, the means does not justify the end.

True, the aim is to build buzz for your blog but the technique used is just plain wrong.  If you're planning on leaving spam comments on other websites any time soon, know that it's not the way to promote your blog.  On the contrary, you might even do damage to your blog without knowing it.

Understanding spam comments

Spam comments started sprouting their evil seed when online guestbooks began appearing on websites.  Unscrupulous site owners and marketers bombarded these guestbooks with links (many even used purely links) back to the spammers' websites.  If any comment is included at all, it may contain highly generic ones such as 'cool post' or 'great website' or 'nice page'.

Spam appears in just about anything these days, including blogs, often in the form of a comment.  How this is done is quite simple.  Any blogger who wishes to promote his blog can simply write down keyword-heavy texts in the guise of a comment and then post it at random on another blog or website.  Sites that allow hyperlinks to be displayed are usually the prime targets.

The problem here is that this type of commenting is not purposeful at all.  It's done at random, similar to throwing darts at a huge dartboard while wearing a blindfold in the hopes of hitting something, anything.

Why spam commenting will not work for you

Leaving spam comments to promote your blog may seem tempting enough but it's best to avoid it.  That is, if you want to be taken seriously and see your blog last long enough for your grandchildren to appreciate.  Here are reasons why leaving spam comments to promote your blog are NOT the way to go:

You're being watched

These days, you spam someone once and you'll be branded for life.  Or at least the blog or business you're trying to promote will be.  The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 makes sure spam is controlled and no one can wave it around like a weapon.

Becoming associated with spam is bad news for your blog.  People hate spam… period.  They will be more than happy to report you to your host provider or even your affiliate companies and avoid your blog altogether.  And yes, Akismet and a host of other plug-ins designed to fight spam will be watching.

You will be penalized

By leaving spam comments on another website with the sole purpose of promoting your blog, you give that website's owner the permission to become a witness against you.  Your host provider will cut off ties with you and if you're using your blog to promote an affiliate's products, even your affiliate will drop you. 

Should this happen, you will have to start all over again, from square one, with a tarnished reputation.  If you leave more spam comments in the future, you'll only be repeating the cycle all over again, all to your detriment.

You'll be seen as unprofessional

Leaving spam comments to promote a blog is for the lazy, the uninformed and the desperate.  Why else would you use a technique that is generally viewed as unsavory?  If you're unprofessional, your visitors will find it difficult to trust you ever again.

You'll be violating certain unwritten codes

The reason why comments are allowed in websites is to provide people a platform with which to interact.  Blogs, forums and discussion boards are large meeting places, open to people regardless of their age, sex, location or personal beliefs, with the implicit agreement that those who participate will be respected for their beliefs.

By leaving spam comments on these sites mainly to promote your blog, you break this code of trust. 

Leaving spam comments can increase your blog's ranking... artificially

Although an artificial increase in ranking can mean good news for your blog (it will allow your site to appear high in search engine rankings), this is only an initial effect, sort of like anesthesia.  Soon, it will wear off.

This is particularly true if your blog has nothing else to offer.  Visitors who have been driven to your blog through search engine links (which you were able to achieve artificially) will sniff around your site and if they find nothing there, they'll leave soon enough, never to come back. 

Worse, word might even get around that your website is filled with nothing but air.  If you must promote your blog this way, make sure you have the content to make visitors stay.

The best thing about blogging is that there are no rules.  You can write about anything you want.
A self-publisher’s dream!   There are some things you can do though to maximize your Google Adsense
profits.  Narrow your subject.  Don’t just write about shopping.  Write about shopping for antique
dresser drawer pulls.  Write every day. Have a blog at more than one site. If you develop a
readership, you’re more likely to increase your profits.

Write about something you know or want to know or at the very least care about. If you try to write
a great blog based on a “hot keyword” yet it’s something you could care less about, you’ll likely
not stay with it long. Experiment and see what works for you. You can write based on your own
opinion or something factual. You can review a product or service or a movie.  Read other people’s
blogs and notice how many reads they’re getting.  Above all, have fun.  After all, it’s free and if
you’re persistent you’ll see your Google Adsense dollars adding up.

Choosing The Right Free Blogging Tools

There are many free blogging tools on the market, but loading up your blog with all of the free
accessories that you can find isn't necessarily a good idea. While it may be tempting to add a
visitor counter, a flashy background, an exciting new font, and a cluster of quirky animated gifs
to your blog, this kind of plan can easily backfire. The key to getting the most from free blog
tools is being selective.

It is a great idea to learn about all of the kinds of free blogging tools that are available so
that you can make an informed decision about what to add to your blog, but try to remember that
just because you can have something doesn't mean that you need it. Practice restraint and only
choose the options that you think will really be useful. If you can find out how many visitors are
reading your blog by checking your traffic statistics, a visitor counter is likely to add
unnecessary clutter to your page. If your blog is text-based, a flashy background can be more of a
distraction than an benefit. Be realistic about assessing what kinds of blog accessories will help
you realize your vision and improve your site. Remember that even a blog tool that doesn't cost you
any cash may not be an asset in the long run.
