But blogs aren’t for everyone. Although they’re now one of the easiest ways to get online, they have to be updated regularly and aren’t the best option for static content.
Fortunately Blogger isn’t the only way to get online fast. Google’s Page Creator makes building a website as simple as point, click and type.
Again, you get a template that you can edit freely, and you can also break into the HTML to paste the
AdSense code. Check to see how it looks, publish, and all you’ll have to do next is let people know where you are. And that’s where the disadvantages of creating a website using a free tool like Page Creator kicks in. With a website created through Page Creator, Search Engine Optimization becomes difficult. Your URL will be [yourname].googlepages.com, which is about as catchy a ball of slush. It’s unlikely to get very far in search engines and when you try to spread it around, it will simply make you look unprofessional. Page Creator can be a useful place to get started but it’s really designed to help people like teachers display information to a closed audience. It’s not a good way to earn a lot of money. If you’re keen to get started though, if you have an audience already set up... or if you just want to see your stuff online fast — and with ads — then it’s a fun toy to play with. And you can always move your content onto your own URL when you’re ready.
