    I was advised many times to add more content to my web site. Could you please share your opinions upon this matter. What kind of content would you recommend me to place at my web site?

    Could you provide us with a link to your site?

    It's hard share any opinion without such reference.

    You can add:

    •a blog with regularly updated posts about the latest trends and technologies involved in hosting;
    •a regularly updated database of hosting tutorials and guides intended for IT professionals, business owners, and Internet marketers - from modestly informed users to experienced individuals alike;
    •and a regularly updated database of articles and tutorials about website development and Internet marketing.

    The content should obviously provide your readers with useful information. The content should be highly comprehensible to your target audience, directly relevant to the latest hosting and website development technologies, and it should also offer them new value. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    Agree with GrayscaleServices and I would also make a more descriptive front page for SEO/Adsense purposes by adding an article about coupons and Internet deals, a little of history, an overview of popular services offering coupons and how people can benefit from using them.

    1. You can start by changing your PAGE TITLE.
    currently reads as hosting coupons - Mozilla Firefox (on my pc)

    You might want to try changing it to something like:
    Hosting Coupons - Cheap Web Hosting

    2. add Meta Tags

    <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="cheap web hosting,
    cheap web hosting asp, very cheap web hosting, cheap windows web hosting, cheap linux web hosting, cheap web hosting php mysql, cheap web hosting sites, really cheap web hosting, cheap virtual web hosting, cheap web site design and hosting, cheap website hosting, website hosting cheap, cheap hosting, cheap web site, web host, cheap web hosts, low cost web site">
    <META NAME="description" CONTENT="Hosting Coupons provides a listing of Cheap Web Hosting providers offering the best web hosting deals">

    3. Try putting some hosting articles on your home page. You made a post in Dec, about nothing important I might add.

    "A new version of hostingcoupons.com is under the construction at the moment and will be launched soon. We are going to provide users with more advanced features trying the best to simplify their work at our web site as much as it is possible!"

    Seriously, who cares? How is that going to bring you traffic?

    content = article/s.
    You have a home page with nothing of value or interest on it for man or machine.

    Tell your site visitors what they will find on your site. Tell them what they will find when they click on Host List. Yes, I know its pretty self explanatory, but its an easy 4 paragraphs of content and keywords that you can write for the search engines for whatever topics you have in your menu.

    Use the second half of the page for your "news" section.

    Hope this helps, Good Luck.

    I'm guessing the coupons are only good for people who are new to the hosting programs? So you'll want to focus on either new sites, or people switching hosting type of content.

    Content ideas:

    - Tutorials on how to build a website.
    - How to make money online building websites.
    - Interviews with top experts about how building sites can make money.
    - What's a good host or a bad host?

    No no it depends on what coupon it is. If he's making a domain registrar coupon site then people may constantly visit his site to obtain the latest coupon code.

    definetely start a newsletter or hot exclusive offers alert or something similar, video newsflashes, a podcasting service there are many many things, articles are always a good way to establish credibility, get links and qualified traffic

    You need a headline that says what the site is about. The basic idea needs to be "Discover Hosting Account Savings at this site." That is not a great headline, but it's the idea in a nutshell. You need to take that idea and make it a headline so it's clear what it is you are offering.

    Here are a few ideas for content you can add to your site.

    • How to Choose a Webhost - What are the things that should be considered when you're looking for a host. What separates good hosts from bad hosts
    • Space and Bandwidth - How Much Do I Need? This can be it's own article. Expand on how page size and traffic helps determine space and bandwidth needs.
    • Changing Hosts - Tips for migrating a site from one host to another
    • Top Hosting Concerns and How to Handle Them

    I agree that a blog could be a great idea -- but remember that if you start a blog, you need to commit to adding new content about 3 times a week. Otherwise just do articles at your website where people won't expect fresh content every week -- you can add it whenever you want.

    I think maybe some tips about website design, using Adsense and other things that would appeal to people starting a website -- saving and making money with websites could appeal to your audience. So not just about hosting websites, but about websites in general. You could have tips for beginners, which would be a great category and then also some tips for advanced techy type of people.

    I would suggest using screen shots and images to show people what to do, not just articles. People like it when things are explained to them step by step.

    You could also do some polls or maybe a contest -- see what the coolest site someone hosts or maybe what the best hosting deal someone gets? Some type of original contest to promote your site. Good luck! :)

    I wrote a front page introduction for a client offering shopping coupons on his website so taking your actual intro I would do something like this,

    "Welcome to HostingCoupons.com! we are committed to... explain a little bit about your site's goal, What? Why?

    Discount coupons were first introduced... When? A bit of history and what a few different of them have been used for.

    If you are looking for coupons to save money at all the top web hosting companies, you've definitely come to the right place.... add a few words of encouragement inviting people to browse your site."

    Ok, Trusted Writer, I will if I change the text on my home page, will my google positions be changed? What optimal keyword density would you advise for home page? I would like to avoid being punished by Google for overusing keyword in the text.
