Step 2 – Get Hosting – Who is the best host for SEO?
AFTER you have done your keyword research and have decided on the best keyword for getting the most traffic, it’s time to get a host and then buy your domain name.
A hosting company pretty much does just that, hosts your domain on their servers. What most people don’t realize is that not all hosting companies are created equal. Some hosting companies are fine with adult sites. Sites like this are not looked upon favorably by Google (they usually use black hat techniques to get ranked and they don’t like that!). If you are on the same server as a bunch of adult sites your site is going to suffer even if it is all about furry bunnies.
Some hosting companies don’t have cpanel, some don’t support php, some have horrible customer service, etc. It’s hard to find a good host these days.
I always use Bluehost now. I have 4 different accounts on different hosts and my Bluehost sites always rank very well in the search engines. Besides that, they always respond to my support tickets in minutes. But my favorite thing about them(besides the fact it’s $6.95 a month and you get a free domain name) is that you log into your cpanel account once you set up your domain name, click one button and you have a WordPress blog. You don’t have to configure a database or anything like that. It’s the Fantastico button, by the way.

You can set up a blog on your domain and make your site a full blog like mydomainname.com OR you can type in the directory you want and it will create it for you automatically. So, you can type in “blog” and it will create a WordPress blog in the “blog” directory. So now, you can have a regular HTML website and you can just put a BLOG link on it and that’s your blog. Such as: mydomainname.com/blog. Easy as that! I put WordPress blogs on nearly all of my sites.
When you sign up you will get a free domain name for life. Remember to read my post on keyword research before you choose your domain name.
Steps for success:
- Visit Bluehost Now.
Create an account, get a free domain name
- Get Socrates, a premium WordPress Theme.
-Get Aweber, to capture leads AND keep emailing them
Take your domain from bluehost, install WordPress on it and log in.
Go to themes, click Install New, and install the Socrates theme.
Active this theme, choose your title, description and make a custom header.
In the widgets area, add in your Aweber form code.
In five minutes you have a blog that is ready for content and ready to capture mortgage leads! They look awesome too!

[...] GET HOSTING – You need a good host. Never waste your time building a free site on someone else’s server/host. It won’t work as good and you won’t make as much money. Also, the host matters. Too many porn sites hosted by your provider? Yea, your site won’t rank as good. Too many sites on the same IP address? Forget about it. I’ll give you tips on this later! [...]
