What to Do After Using a Website Builder

Many people make the mistake of building a website and doing nothing else with it once it is complete. Building a website with a site builder is especially easy to do, and it can be easy to forget that there is more to a successful website than just getting it built. There are many things you need to do after your website is complete.

First, you want to make sure that your website content stays updated. Updated web pages are more likely to be listed in the search engines. It is also important to continually add content to your site, such as additional pages with informative articles. This too will help with search engine placement. If you have a shopping cart, you will need to keep your cart updated and inventory running smoothly. And, if you have a message board, you will need to monitor it closely and add in comments where necessary.

Next, you want to make sure your site gets listed in the search engines, primarily Google. Your first step is to submit your site to the search engines. A good website builder will do this for you or allow for a simple submission method that is easy to follow. Once your site is submitted, you can also submit a site map to Google to make sure that the entire site is indexed. Again, a good website builder will walk you through this process.

The next thing you want to do is promote your website. You will need to promote your website through internet marketing if you want to get listed in the search engines and drive traffic to your site. You can do this by getting links to your site through guest blogging, submitting your site to directories, and through article marketing. These are the easiest ways to use internet marketing to promote your website, and you can find a lot of information about this online.

Once you have promoted your website and gotten listed in the search engine listings, you need to monitor your site to make sure that everything you have been doing is working to your advantage. You can do this by tracking your website’s traffic. There are many tools available for you to do this. However, a good website builder will have website tracking software built in so all you have to do is look at the tracking results. The tracking data should include how many visitors you have had come to your site, how they found your site, and where they are located generally. You can then use this information to determine whether or not your site is generating the type of traffic you need in order to make it successful. If it is not, you can go back and update the content and make sure that everything is search engine optimized to improve numbers.
