You do not need to be a writer to create your web presence. Firstly you must ask yourself why you want to have a web presence. Just for the heck of it, to do online business, etc. Some people just love to have websites and post their pictures. Just having a website does mean that you have a web presence. You need to get noticed. For example, you may be an ace pianist, but your talent may not do you much good unless you get noticed. In order to get noticed your website needs to have what people are looking for. I'm very poor at doing any kind of online research. Therefore I hire SEO experts and writers to write the content for my website. I usually hire the services of www ...

There are soooo many ways to market online and the truth is, there isn't "one best way" - it totally depends on the type of site (i.e. is a product being sold? A service? Is it expensive or low-cost? etc etc). We do this every day and for all website types. If you'd like to chat, we're always up front and honest about the best way - or if we even think online marketing is a good idea or not for you! We're here: www ... -Derek

Besides relevant copy provided by a writer, you should rely heavily on SEO techniques. Here's a helpful tutorial based on a webmaster article from google.com. The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at www ... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages. Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website, in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable. You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo. Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them. A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots. Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material. Placement of Metatags: A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name. The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services. And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory. Good luck!

Always keep in mind that "content is king". Create content and build the web presence around the content. Nothing can substitute for good content. Good luck with your project.

The answer is that it depends on the reason you want web presence, your budget, skills and time. eCommerce vs Non-Profit vs selling a book vs hairdresser - all different. What is the type of business? What is the objective of gaining web presence? What is the success criteria (traffic, sales, awareness..)?
