To help my readers (you), I’ve decided to explain how I’m going to add a CMS (Content Management System) and promote one of my sites, gameoftheday.net. I understand, you might not have a site like this one but you could use these strategies to improve one of your other sites.
This site has been in my network (not network toolbar) for about a year on the back burner because its been to difficult to update the flash games on a daily bases. The CMS will allow me to add new flash games to a future publishing date.
I’ll be using the CMS program, cutenews. I’ve never added a CMS for a site before so I’m excited in figuring out how too.
To Do List
Development
- Redesign the layout to implement 336×280 Adsense Ads.
- Add a newest game area on the homepage.
- Possible changing the color scheme and layout.
- With the CMS, have the flash games auto update.
- Redevelop the archives.
- Research popular keywords and add more content.
Promotion
- Add it to the network toolbar.
- Promote it on Adengage with $50.
- Submit to 100 directories for $5.
- Link Exchange with 15 related sites.
