Simply fill it out with your domain name, page titles, descriptions, and keywords, and submit it to search engines such as Google® and Yahoo!®. In addition, all of our Website Builder and Marketing Tool templates are "search-engine friendly," meaning they were built to be more visible to the search engines. Can I sell things or take donations on my website?Yes, you can sell individual items, but only through PayPal®. If you plan to accept credit card orders directly through your website and not through a third party, like PayPal, then you will need a shopping cart software solution which we offer through our LayerNext CommerceSpace product. What is PayPal®?PayPal is a way of sending and receiving money over the Internet by allowing your customers to pay with their credit and debit cards or bank transfers. You will need to open a PayPal® Premier or Business Account in order to sell individual items. After you have opened an account, simply create a PayPal "Buy Now" button. When a customer clicks on the button on your website, he/she will be taken to PayPal's site where the transaction will be processed.
