Answer: Lots of ground to cover here~\n\nOff the top of my head, I would recommend you look to do the following.\n\n1. Determine what you site is about, pick a topic and stick to it.\n\n2. Create content.\n\n3. Create content\n\n4. Once content is complete decide on a navigation style and begin to organize your content into those navigational categories.\n\n5.  Once you have create a sitemap of content pages and your navigation is complete you can decide how to make the site "look and feel".\n\n6.  Visit http://www.oswd.org/designs/browse/ and pick out a CSS compliant layout that is close to how you would like your site to look.  Download and save those templates files.\n\n7.  Create your index page using the template.\n\n8.  Seperate the header and footer off of the content section of the index page.  You will use this as the common header and footer files for all interior pages.\n\n9.  Create individual pages of content and implement navigation.\n\n10.  Publish your site to your web space.\n\n11.  Create a google and yahoo sitemap.xml and sitemap.txt file, respectively.\n\n12.  Submit each sitemap to google/yahoo\n\n13.  Place ads in top positions of the page, sparingly or you will see decreased click through.  If using google adsense choose the largest text ad style possible.  Blend the ads into your content.\n\n14.  Once the ads are placed google and yahoo will IMMEDIATELY, withing 5 minutes, crawl and index your website so that they can provide content accurate advertisments.\n\n15.  Track performance using google analytics and goals/funneling.\n\nThere is a lot left to learn and implement, but these are the basic steps, in a nutshell.  I do this for a living and would be happy to assist you should you decide you need further assistance.\n\nBest of luck!\n\nCrucial Web Hosting, ltd.\n1-877-414-HOST
