I entered university in 2001. Initially, I was interested in computers, especially games, so I spent every day in Internet cafes. There were no games at that time. I just played Legends and Ninetowns web games. I never tired of it every day. After I entered my sophomore year, I had a buddy from the computer science department in the dormitory opposite to me. He was very good at playing computer games. At that time, he used ASP+Access to build websites. After I met him, I was really envious of him, and even worshiped him a little. So I went to see him when I had nothing to do and watched him build a website.
Gradually, I also understand some simple website languages, such as html and js. I remember that at that time he made a website "Qren Online" ( www.qren.com ), which was a download site. It seems very simple now, just a cms, and the code was very confusing. However, at the time I thought it was already amazing. , so I volunteered and asked me to maintain it. In fact, it was some physical work of updating information and publishing links. He was also happy and relaxed, so I started to really get in touch with the website.
Because the number of people using the Internet at that time was not as large as it is now. Hundreds of millions of people across the country were online, and the network environment at that time was not as good as it is now. It was basically dial-up. I believe many people still remember the Internet at that time. In terms of speed, haha, it takes more than ten minutes to download an mp3. Website navigation was not popular at that time, and people basically relied on memorizing website addresses to surf the Internet. So my promotion method was mainly to browse in chat rooms and forums. The content of the website basically relied on external download addresses, because at that time we all I am a student and have no money to buy a good space, so I bought a 200M virtual space. Although I didn’t understand technology at the time, I carried out this activity with great passion every day. Gradually, the website began to receive traffic, from a dozen people a day at the beginning to 7,000-8,000 people a day. I look back now. Thinking about it, it’s incredible how people at that time found that website.
More than half a year passed like this, that is, in the summer of 2003, the guy in the dormitory opposite to me said that the download site was boring and not profitable (in fact, thinking about it now, there was no advertising alliance at that time, and we were all students, so we didn’t know how to use it at all) (Pushing advertisements, running sponsorships, and only know how to research technology), it is better to blog, which is a popular blog in Europe and the United States. Of course I didn't have any objections at the time. What could I say if the website belonged to someone else? So I downloaded the source code of an English blog (ASP), modified it and published it. During this period, I learned some simple ASP+access programming. , I also read some flash5 books. After 2 months, the download site became a blog site. Because blogs were not popular at that time, our blog site was considered early. Friends can search on Baidu or Google. Back then, Our website has also entered the domestic blog rankings.
I have been blogging for more than half a year. In the summer of 2004, when I saw that the website was still not improving, my friend said that he would quit and leave it all to me. I took over the website and it was not interesting to read the blog, so I might as well work on the forum. So this time I downloaded the forum source code of Dongwang and started to modify the source code independently. In the end, after three months of hard work, I didn’t understand anything during the period. I went to Baidu to check, and slowly I successfully modified the website. Finally, I decided to make it a game forum for Lineage 2. In the end, the forum was aborted and the domain name was sold.
After graduating in 2005, I was engaged in environmental consulting work. During my work, I found that there were a lot of commonly used information that I couldn’t find anywhere, so I used flash+asp+access to make an environmental protection utility tool in my spare time. Many environmental workers should have used this tool. , only then can we truly develop a simple program on our own without plagiarizing any other source code.
Now I will mainly talk about a joke website I built at the end of 2008 - Joke King ( www.xiaohua365.com ). Because my job was stable, but I also wanted to make some extra money on the website, and I didn’t have much time to maintain it, so I decided to do it. A joke station, you don’t need to spend a lot of time maintaining it every day. When I started making the website, I took some elements of SEO into consideration (although I still don’t know exactly what constitutes SEO success). The methods are mainly common ones:
1. All html static pages
2. The title of the website is simple, the description only needs to be roughly described, and the keywords are just a few keywords.
3. The title of the content page shall be in the form of "article content title" - "website title".
4. Use tree navigation, that is, there are links back to the previous level on each page.
5. There needs to be a topic that can access all content pages. My joke station is the "Jokes Click Ranking", which collects all the jokes.
6. A good website title should be easy for people to remember after seeing it. It should not be repeated with other websites. It is not good to be too varied. Who can remember messy website names?
7. You should also choose a good domain name. A simple pinyin domain name is best, but a 4 or 5-digit domain name is also acceptable. It must be easy to remember. It’s not about whether you think it is easy to remember, but to ask your friends whether they think it is easy to remember.
8. Many friends like to put the categories and popular information on the left side of the page and the content on the right side of the content page. I personally think it is just the opposite. The content should be on the left side and the categories and popular information on the right side. This is because, From the perspective of people's reading habits, from left to right, you must be willing to show the content to the user first. From the source code, generally when making a website, the left side is done first and then the right side. Therefore, in terms of the source code of the entire page, The content on the left is at the front, and the content on the right is at the back. That is, when the browser downloads the source code, it downloads the content on the left first and then the content on the right. The same goes for the spider. It will think that the content before the exam is more important than the content at the back. This It's just my personal imagination, haha.
9. From the user's perspective, people generally read jokes and have fun when they have nothing to do. Therefore, the structure of the joke site cannot be complicated. It only needs one-level classification. You can reach whatever you want to see in one click, with a maximum of two clicks. Some friends will say, what if the user wants to read a certain joke? I don’t think it is necessary to consider this. Generally, users will not search for a joke before reading it, so I just made a "click ranking" and " DIGG ranking", this setting is for some users who want to see directly what is the funniest without having to read it one by one.
After the website has done this, I think it is almost done with ordinary optimization, and the next step is promotion. Commonly used promotion methods include forum links, friend links, message links, blog links, mass mailings, QQ mass sendings, soft articles, etc.
I will only talk about the process here, everyone has methods for specific operations. At the beginning, you only need to register blogs on major websites, and post a few articles from your own website on each blog, with website links and article links. After posting the articles, you can add some friends, and you should add very popular ones. People, post comments on their latest posts, the more comments the better. During this time, go to various categories to submit your website, search the categories in Baidu, there are many, and find some self-service links, so that your website should be available in Baidu in one or two days, and this kind of work will continue. In 1 or 2 months, it is estimated that your website PR will be 1-2.
About 3 months after the website is included by the search engine, I believe you will have a lot of external links and PR will also increase. At this time, you'd better find a website with the same level or higher PR to exchange friend links. , be sure to find a link to the homepage of a website that is higher than yours.
In 4-5 months, it is estimated that your website will have 3-4 PRs. I think you should think of some other methods at this time, that is, mass posting on forums and blogs. Be careful not to leave too many of your website on each website during mass posting. Just 3-5 links will do. The key is to have more websites. There must be a large number of websites with links to your website, so that your website ranking will not be able to even think about it.
Summarizing my website experience in the past few years, I think that optimizing the website is only the basics, just do it almost. The key is external links. There must be dozens of high-quality external links, and there is no quality (such as mass links). ) needs to be massive, that is, a lot of external links. Only external links are the foundation of your website, so I think friends might as well put a lot of effort into external links, and the rest will be enough.
Recently, I released another classified information website. It is all hand-written programs without modifying any other source code. It is imitated from Ganji.com. Friends, if you are fine, you can go and have a look - Changzhi Information Network www.changzhi8.com
