How to change your wordpress theme

Many people today use Wordpress as a ready2Go system. Because Wordpress is so easy to use and because it is a well ranking system on Google or any other search engines, many people prefer it over many other systems.

On this article I will explain how to change your Wordpress theme.
First you need to download a theme you want to use. If you already don’t have one, you can go to the Wordpress website and get one or just Google “Wordpress Themes” and download from a third party website.

After you download the theme you need to extract it from the ZIP file.  Many of you probably know how to do so already.

After these major steps you need to go to your FTP and open your Wordpress directory. In your directory, go to WP-Content folder, and then open the Themes folder. Transfer your files to the Themes folder. After you are done transfering, go to your Wordpress Administration Panel.

In the administration panel go to the Appearance section and click on Themes. After this is very simple, just click on the theme you want to use, it will give lightbox of what your website will look like with that theme, on the top right-hand corner click Activate.

An that is how you change your Wordpress theme.

How to get traffic to your website

Many webmasters struggle getting traffic to their website. Are you one of them? Well most likely you are if you are reading this article. Pay very careful attention to this article because many people don’t take some of these steps seriously but they can make a big difference.

The first one of all the ways you can get traffic to your website is SEO. Search Engine Optimization, making your website friendly to search engines so you can rank better and get more visitors to your website. This step is a good step to start with if you know what you are doing. If not, try to read article on SEO and get the concept of it because it’s all about ranking better in search engines to get more traffic.

Link building is another important point these days. Google especially gives so much importance to this fact than any other search engine. If you have strong backlinks you are going to be the one that is most likely to be found on google search results.

If you have a marketing website, or your website is about a cause, you can use affiliate programs to gain traffic to your website. For example, you can promote your products on Google AdWords and target specific visitors to your website.

These are all the things a webmaster can do. Well, how about the beginners? Any beginner can do the above. But most of the webmasters forget to the following which a beginner is most likely to do. People miss these ways of getting traffic and they are not aware that they can actually get whole lot of traffic from these ways. You can get these explained well in my other article Some ways of getting traffic to your website

First one of these missed ways is sharing your link in a community website. Either if its youTube, Myspace or a random Forum website. Many people visits these websites and what you put there. Think of YouTube, you can see how many times a video has been viewed on the bottom of the video, if you share your website link in the description which YouTube allows you to do, you can advertise your website that many views. Sometimes these views go into millions. Many people go to a froum to find what they want, ask questions and for a community. For example one might go to a Forum website about Hamsters and ask What hamsters eat? You can reply to that post from an article in your website and show your website as a source. Now if someone writes “What Hamster’s eat?” in Google that froum will show up and in the forum your website will be showned source. This ways are also a good way to build backlinks.

Another way professionals often forget is the web directories. They think nobody visits them and so on. But they are mistaken. Many people try to find what exactly they want on the internet and yes they do visit directories. Even if they don’t it is a good way to gain backlinks.

Ways to make money online from a website

There are many ways you can generate income from a website or a blog. I have listed below the ways and below that is a explanation of how yu can earn money from your website.

1.Affiliate Marketing
2.Online Marketing
3.Referrer Programs
4.Renting Ad Space

1.Affiliate Marketing
This type of generating income is the most popular way right now on the internet. Leading company in the industry is Google AdSense. For example you can have a website about hamsters. Once you have a good number of visitors, you can become a AdSense partner and put Google AdSense ads on your website. The way it works is so simple. You just sign up for the service and put it in your website. When a visitor visits your website and if they click on that ad, Google pays you a commision. The amount the commision changes according to your website niche.

Another type of affiliate marketing is that you can sign up for different programs and partners like ClickBooth. This is where you get paid for every click. It is just like Google Adsense but the commision you will get paid is usually very low and its on a flat rate. Google AdSense pays you on the ad they click and your niche. If you have a “real estate” niche and one clicks on it you will get a lot more commision then “funny jokes” niche. But on PPC – Pay Per Click programs, it is usually on a flat rate meaning you will recieve the exact amount even if it is “real estate” or “funny jokes” niche.

2. Online Marketing
This way of generating a income is one of the hardest things to do if your not a pro. Selling something online is very hard. You need the visitors to trust you and make them believe into you. For example you can make a website about Hamsters and you can sell Hamster goods. :) I mean like hamster toys and so on. This type of earning income is so hard again. Not everybody is willing to use their credit card on a website they just found on Google.

3. Referrer Programs
Referrer programs are one other easy way to generate incomes. It is just like Online Marketing but you just “referr” to a product and once a visitor clicks on it, it goes to a main site which you referr to. If the visitor buys that product then you get a certain commision from it.

For example you can have a website about “Creating Successful Websites” then you can referr to a program like a Website Software. You can referr to it and say “It optimizes your content to find success on search engine rankings.” Then the visitor will click on your refered item and buy the software and you will get some commision.

4. Renting Ad Space
This type of earning income on a website is the most and most easiest way to do so. But, to do it good, you need to have good traffic. Lets say you have a website with 10 thousand weekly visits. You can banner banner ads on your website for maybe 25 bucks per 5 thousand visits. So from one banner space you will make 50 bucks a week.

How to create custom Name Servers

Creating custom name srvers are very simple, I will go through basic steps explaining how to create custom name servers like ns1.you-domain.com or ns2.your-domain.com

  • First you need to login to your domain control panel.
  • Second you need the original IP’s of yourcurrent name servers.
  • Third You need to update Name Servers.

Login to your domain control panel, go to your DNS Zone, if you do not have one go to DNS, or NS records or something in that nature.  You will need to find Create Custom NS link.

Get you original IP’s from your host, for example if your website is hosted on hostgator.com and your 2 DNS adresses are ns345.hostgator.com ns346.hostgator.com ask for their IP’s.  Normally your hosting company should give them to you in the first place.

Then go to the domain Control Panel again.  Click Create custom Name Server.  Name it something you want like ns01.your-domain.com and the pointing field should be your first IP address. do the samething for the second one but name it maybe ns02.your-domain.com and point it to your second IP.

Now is the last step.  Go to your DNS zone and update your Name Servers.  You point your-domain.com to ns01.yourdomain.com and ns02.yourdomain.com and still have it hosted on another host.
