You can’t build a site in a day. Not a useful site.

Take all the time you need.

But remember, you can also proceed to the next day while still building your site. For instance, if your plan includes building a 200-page site, you can start your link campaign soon before you reach that number.

You also can start inserting some affiliate links or AdSense code on your pages.

Back to planning and building a site.

What kind of site do you want to build? That which you want to come back and wish you had found in the first place back then when you wanted to find information about the topic.

Many website publishers fail because they think building any site will do. Far from it, you want a useful, interesting and unique website that will add value to the topic you are publishing in. Remember, search engines want something unique, not just another site that is just a duplicate of other site’s content.

Nowadays, you can build traffic through many ways. Having people link to you and talk about your site or content is also key.

While you can build a traditional site with articles and other information, consider starting a blog.

You can get your readers interact with you through a blog and build a community that way. You can also establish yourself as an authority in that topic by writing directly in a more interactive way than through article writing.

A blog also allows readers to subscribe to your content through web feed (RSS feed) so you can hook them with your engaging content and drive them back again and again.

As a blogger myself, I can’t stress how much time a blog has saved me over the years. Not only that you can publish and manage your content easily, but also you benefit from the consistency of layout across pages on your site or blog. Tinkering a bit with the software, you should be able to get exactly the structure you want as with a conventional site, but with lots of features like content management, automatic archive, commenting, pinging and so on.

Focus on the content instead of how to build a site properly. A blog helps you with that.
