There is a lot of heavy “get rich with this program” promotion going on for what I call “cookie-cutter” affiliate websites. You sign up, pay a fee (often a down stroke and a monthly hosting/service price) and you get a pre-made website. You are told you can just sit back and watch the dollars flow in. Typically the only person that gets rich with this kind of a deal is the person running the website program in the first place. Even re-sellers of the program, if they have their own affiliate offering, seldom make any real money!

Google’s Matt Cutts shares key insight into how your website can be better found on the Internet through what he refers to as better visibility.

We have become quite enamored, of late, with the WordPress website engine and the extensive collection of themes (site designs) available for it. This powerful, stand-alone, package offers the framework for establishing a multi-page website that features a built in blog. Various free and commercial theme offerings provide hundreds, perhaps thousands, of page layout choices. You don’t need a great deal of experience to get your own great looking website up and running.

There are a lot of articles around about Flash and fancy and Web 2.0 and how the Internet is changing. Well, I hate to break it to you but the Internet has been in a state of constant change since its inception. Features, services, functions, and whole sections have come and gone as new ideas have dominated old ones and new and better ways have been found to do old and familiar things. Does anyone here remember Archie, Veronica, and Gopher? And I don’t mean comic book characters.
