The word “minisite” can refer to a number of different things.  Some people call small niche article sites minisites, but that isn’t the general use of the word.  In Internet marketing, the word “minisite” is generally used to refer to very small websites that are set up to sell a product – usually an eBook or other digital download.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most minisites are only 1-5 pages.  Some of them are only a single sales pitch page, plus perhaps a thank you page for after the customer orders.  Others have a contact page, a terms of service page, a frequently asked questions page, or other general pages.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll just work on creating a single page minisite, and we’ll cover only the design – not the sales copy.  Most minisites have several key parts.  They usually have a header and footer, although some have only a header, or may have neither.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
They also have a sales letter of some sort, which is used to sell the product.  Finally, they have an order button that is clicked when a customer wants to purchase the product.  Some minisites also have an eCover, which is a computer-generated image that mimics what the product might look like if it was a physical product.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For example, if the product is an eBook, the eCover might look like a hardcover or paperback book cover (sometimes a spiral notebook, too).  If the product is a membership site, the eCover might be a membership card.  Software products usually have a 3D software box as their eCover.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The first step in creating a minisite should be creating your eCover, if you intend to use one.  Most people create their eCovers with Photoshop, because most eCover action scripts only work with Photoshop.  If you don’t have Photoshop, you may need to create it from scratch, or have it made for you by a professional graphic designer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
After you have your cover design, you’ll need to create a header.  Although some marketers don’t use headers, most do.  A well-designed header can draw attention to your headline, and it can make your site look more professional.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The header should contain your product’s name and a tag line – like a one-sentence blurb that tells what your site’s about.  It should also contain a photo that’s related to your niche, and it might also contain a small version of your ecover – all tied into a theme for your demographic.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Let’s say you’re creating a minisite to sell your dog-training eBook.  Your header would potentially contain a picture of a woman pointing at a dog, and the dog sitting down.  Then the text on the header might say something like the following: Dog Training 101: The Ultimate Guide to Training Your Puppy or Adult Dog!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Don’t make your header too large.  If the header is so large visitors can’t see the headline without scrolling, it’s too big!  It should attract attention to the headline, not hide it.  Headers are generally between 700 and 800 pixels wide and 100-200 pixels in height.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The footer is usually the same width, but about half the height of the header.  It may only contain the product name or logo, but may also contain an image or copyright notice. Finally, you need an order button that draws a lot of attention.  Your button might contain your eCover, plus a brightly colored button and a call-to-action, such as “Click Here for Instant Access!”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you have the money to invest, you might consider ordering a minisite package from a professional designer. For about $300, you’ll get the header, footer, eCovers, and sometimes extra banners that you can use for off-site promotions.</div>

The most successful online businesses all have one thing in common. They all knew how to make search engine optimization work for them.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Search engine optimization is the art and science of making websites attractive to the internet’s search engines. The first step in successfully achieving stellar search engine optimization is to lure search engine’s web crawlers to your website. Web crawlers are computer programs that the search engines use gather data and index information from the websites. The information the web crawlers gather is used to determine the ranking of a webpage.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the fastest ways to hamper a web crawler is to construct a website that has frames. Most search engines have crawlers that can’t penetrate the frames, if they can’t get into a webpage to read it then that webpage remains unindexed and unranked. Two search engines, Google and Inktome, have web crawlers that are capable of penetrating frames. Before submitting your website to a search engine do some research and find out if they have a crawler that is incapable of penetrating any frames.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you have written frames into your URL it will probably be worth your effort to go back and rewrite your URL’s. Once you have rewritten your URLs you might be surprised to find that the new addresses are easier on humans as well as web crawlers, the frameless URLs are easier to type in documents as links and references.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Once you have rewritten your URL’s it is time to start submitting your website to search engines. Some webmasters like to use an automated search engine submission service. If you decide to go with the submission service you should be aware that there will be a fee involved, the minimum fee is typically fifty-nine US dollars. This price should keep a few URLs on the search engines for a year. Other webmasters like to avoid big fees by submitting their website to individual search engine on their own.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Once your webpage is submitted to a search engine you need to sit down and design a crawler page. A crawler page is a webpage that contains nothing else expect links to every single page of your website, Use the title of each page as the as the link text. This will also give you some extra keywords that will help improve the ranking the crawlers assign to your website. Think of the crawler page as a site map to the rest of your website.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Lucida Sans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Typically, the crawler page won’t appear in the search results. This happens because the page doesn't have enough text for the crawlers to give that individual page a high ranking, after all its nothing more then a portal to the rest of your site and your human users won’t need to use it. Don’t panic if it crawlers don’t instantly appear to index your website. There are a lot of websites available on the internet that need to be crawled, indexed, and then ranked. It can sometimes take up to three months for a web crawler to get to yours.</span></span></div>
