... Or Google’s Page Creator
But blogs aren’t for everyone. Although they’re now one of the easiest ways
to get online, they have to be updated regularly and aren’t the best option
for static content.
Fortunately Blogger isn’t the only
way to get online fast. Google’s
Page Creator makes building a
website as simple as point, click
and type.
Again, you get a template that
you can edit freely, and you can
also break into the HTML to paste
the AdSense code. Check to see
how it looks, publish, and all you’ll
have to do next is let people know
where you are.
Pick your Google page.
And that’s where the disadvantages of creating a website using a free tool
like Page Creator kicks in.
With a website created through Page Creator, Search Engine Optimization
becomes difficult. Your URL will be [yourname].googlepages.com, which is
about as catchy a ball of slush. It’s unlikely to get very far in search engines
and when you try to spread it around, it will simply make you look
unprofessional.
Page Creator can be a useful place to get started but it’s really designed to
help people like teachers display information to a closed audience. It’s not a
good way to earn a lot of money.
If you’re keen to get started though, if you have an audience already set
up... or if you just want to see your stuff online fast — and with ads — then
it’s a fun toy to play with.
And you can always move your content onto your own URL when you’re
ready.
