Tips to get that web site off the ground
Updated: 4/14/2003 3:22:00 PM
- Design & write a web site. Make it interesting, upbeat and keep it fresh. Include ways to contact you!
- Choose a host carefully. Many big portals offer free hosting, but with them your page will be harder to find and your web address will usually be long. Hundreds of hosting services are available for less than $20 a month.
- Get your own domain name—as low as $15 a year for multiple years. www.register.com
- List your site on the top barbershop link sites:
Barbershoppers on the World Wide Web (BSOTW3) www.sunshinenet.org/BSOTW3
The Ultimate in Barbershop Links www.harmonize.ws/links
Links from SPEBSQSA: update chapter or quartet record to include your site—membership@spebsqsa.org - Submit your site to major search engines. Most hosts and/or domain registrars include this in the package.
- Get on a directory. The big engines are more obvious, but Netscape’s Open Directory Project (dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Vocal/A_Cappella/Barbershop_Harmony) is more important, listing more sites than Yahoo and feeding 200+ search engines and directories such as AOL Search, Google, HotBot, InfoSpace.com, Netscape Search and Dogpile.com. That’s a lot of exposure for one listing.
