Ok this is my first website ever. I am trying to build one to help the bitcoin community, link together buyers, sellers and information regarding bitcoins, what they are, bitcoin exchanges etc. I have the site I think working and looking good, please let me know if there is anything that is just ugly, need to change etc. And my biggest hurdle now seems to be getting it to show up when you google search words like bitcoin, or products etc? Any tips on getting that accomplished would be great. Or do you have to pay to get your website on the first two pages of a google search? I have been reading this forum, so much information, this is my first time so please be gentle but real and helpful as you can lol. Hopefully this is the correct thread to post in, I chose this one because my main focus would be on how to freely market the website for google, or if I have to pay. Thanks

Also reading on this forum there was a mention of Meta Tags and someone said my meta tags didnt show correctly? Wasnt sure how to check that at all or change that or if it matters. Thanks for any help and ideas.

    Personally, I find the text tough to read and I have good eyesight.

    As a general rule, your text should be black on a white background. You can get crazy with the graphics, just keep the text box easy to read.

    The size of your text on certain pages, like the about me, is easier to read as it's bigger. Maybe just make the rest of it bigger too, as the background isn't horrible for reading, just not as easy as white.

    As far as getting in Google, you can use SEO which will take some time and work but it's free (unless you pay somebody to do it for you).

    The other option is to pay for ads on Google, also knows as AdWords which is a type of pay-per-click advertising. Look it up on here and you'll have enough info to make you dizzy.

    Well, its a new website indeed!
    Try to submit your url in search engines as well as in different directory sites.
    Do some link building. Before that make sure to choose the perfect keywords.
    Use your social networking power. Doing facebook, twitter marketing leads your site getting high traffic.
    Check your content for optimization. Do it yourself if you know what you are doing! Or, hire an expert.
    Scan for errors.
    Overall, increase your search engine visibility. for low cost but reliable service you can try seobd (dot) net. They are good for starting.
    Write some unique articles and post as your content.
    Do some forum posting.
    Authority backlinks definitely increase your link value!
    use local blogs to comment on. Remember if the blogs are 'no follow ' you wont get ranked. but still it is beneficial to generate traffic.

    Hope these help you. Good luck

      Looked at the site and I agree that the background for the text should be white. Also, make sure you are consistent on the size and type of the text for all of the pages.

      Also, maybe your navigation bar at the top has too many links. Find a way to categorize your menus/options.

        Ok I did follow the rules to get it on google the basic methods that were stated, did the link building, did facebook and twitter for it, and submitted it to google, bing etc. I will fix the size of the page text, the colors are tougher for me because of using templates, not just writing HTML for my website as I dont know HTML lol Some of the sections like what is bitcoin and others, the text is smaller because I didnt want the pages to be so big and have to scroll down, but maybe its better if its bigger and you have to scroll, ill try that today. Thanks.
