First. The first thing you want to do with your project is to pick a good domain name. You want to pick a domain name with keywords related to whatever it is that you are building. For instance, if you were building a downloadable book and you think people will search for information for it in search engines by typing “downloadable books” a good domain name would be downloadablebooks.com. This will give you an advantage over other websites and services because your website is most likely to rank really well for the term “downloadable books” in search engines. This is necessary leverage you need to make it online. If you cannot get a matching domain name this is OK, but it will make it more difficult to be found. Nowadays you need all the leverage you can get and getting a keyword rich domain name would be the first step I would take.
The fourth step, if you will be using ad revenue on your website, is to incorporate ad space on the site which will allow you to make money on the website from displaying advertising. You’ll want to allocate some prime inventory for ad space, so consider ad space close to or within content areas as many people will just ignore ads that are not centered on or around content in some regard. Banners in footers, sidebars and headers will be mostly ignored as these spaces are extremely common and are called areas where “banner blindness” takes place. People are accustomed to these areas being filled with ads so people generally ignore these areas subconsciously. Try to pick ad space that is either slightly above the content, below the title, but above the content, or directly in or beneath the content before a comment box or footer. This will ensure your ads are clicked as much as possible and be good return on investment for advertisers who will want to advertise on your site. I recommend Google AdSense for serving ads on your site. Google now allows you to place as many ads on a page as reasonable and if there is too many, some will not load. I recommend using as many as Google will load or at least three to four ad units...
