Help: How to set up a "webmaster" account

Blimn · 10-04-2009, 08:15 PM

Hi guys,

I just set up my online forum but I'm not a web expert. Say if I wanted to hand over the maintenance of the website to a webmaster how should I proceed? Let me be more specific. How do I create an alternative user for cpanel (or is that usually not done) or do people usually just give him the cpanel username / password.

I know this is a noob question but your help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Brendan

I your forum advertise for the recruitment of a webmaster, and then you will get responses. Then do the selection.

Yeah I know that, but it still doesn't answer my question...

you cant really unless you set them up on their own ftp account and such although contact your host... They might be able to do something like what you are talking about

Adding Google Webmaster Tools is just as essential as adding Google Analytics. The 2 go hand in hand. With Webmaster Tools you can do a variety of things such as:
1)Submit an XML Sitemap
2)Set Crawler Access
3)See internal site links
4)See Top Search Queries
5)See keywords that earned a clickthrough
6)See external links to your site (backlinks)
7)View site errors in including crawl errors
