You need two main items to get your Virtual Web Empire off the ground. A well optimized website and good solid tools and techniques for driving quality traffic to this website. By the way, you will need quality content when your visitors get there.

Hi! I’m Dave Wheaton aka Dukewheatly. Let the Duke provide you with help in setting up your website. Whether you choose to go with a php based wordpress blog or a site based on html pages, we have you covered.

First let me summarize the main pages of this site.

SEO Blog-Shows how to set up your SEO Blog
GIMP-Introduces you to the GIMP free photo editor-Use GIMP to make
  your headers, banners, and buy buttons
Videos-Shows how to set up Camstudio and edit your movies
Keywords-Demonstrates how to pick the right keywords for your articles and site pages
Articles-Walks you through how to promote your articles and get back-links
HTML-Helps you work with Kompozer and set up your html pages

If this is your first site and you are debating whether to go with a blog or an html based site, you need to know that a blog is based on php which needs to be interpreted by the server. You will have to upload the blog and work with it at the server. One of the major advantages is that you can build a fairly large and complex website quite rapidly with a blog.

A nice convenience of using html is that you can build the pages on your computer and see how they look before uploading to the server. The downside is that you have to integrate and link the pages yourself.

Or you may wish to mix and match as this site does. The main site is a blog and all the videos are uploaded with html pages.

First, a word of caution, don’t try to do it all at once. There is a lot of information in this site. Especially if you are just starting out, it is easy to get bogged down with the “Paralysis of Analysis” and get overwhelmed. I would suggest the following sequence to keep this manageable for newbies. If you’re more experienced, then do what you feel:

1.    Download and get familiar with the GIMP
2.    Download and get familiar with Kompozer
3.    Watch the video and upload your SEO Blog
4.    Watch the videos and set-up your Blog
5.    Use Google or Market Samurai to find “do follow” blogs and make 3-4 comments per day for free links to your site
6.    Visit, get familiar with, and make comments in 4-5 forums dealing with your niche.
7.    Spin a few articles and submit to top article directories or My Article Network.
8.    Now you might feel able to take on videos and more aggressive article submission services
