How to develop ShanghaiGolf.com in five easy steps?

[tomh]

Hi,

I have ShanghaiGolf.com plus a bunch of content in the form of five issues of a defunct Shanghai golf magazine which I have online rights to. (Basically course listings, photos and some features).

I know nothing about domains (I am an ex-print publisher). And hope this site can be my learning curve.

My aim is simply to set the site up for google ads and SEO it for the search terms based around Shanghai Golf. Can anyone advise me on the main steps?

thanks hugely in advance,

tom

There are no golfers in Shanghai?

Hi Acro,

Shanghai has 23 major golf courses so - yes, the city has golfers.

hi Tomh,

This is some quick very basic information probably not complete but just to give you the big picture. All the individual steps require extensive research.

-You can use the google keyword tool to see if there are any searches for 'Shanghai golf'. It seems there are not too many searches actually so you will have to use other/more related keywords. There are actually more keyword tools available.

-Create a site with unique quality content.

-SEO is too much to contain is this message but it basically boils down to:
--On page optimization
--Off page optimization

-Offline advertising could be very helpful in your case

-Place adsense on your site.

It is not that easy in the beginning to monetize a website but your subject seems to be interesting. Feel free to PM so I can point you in the right direction.

Nice tips Jereon. Also you can get a nice SEO template and add modified content about shanghai golf plus pictures to make the site looks like a good "info site"
Try to blend your adsense more on your site according to color.
