Free Blog hosting and Free domain name for revenue generation  

Are you earning from your blog??

Thanks! :)

there are hosts out there with $2 per month. I am sure that if click at 2 PTC sites and you have at least 10 referrals at both of em you can easily cover the expenses

What about a free "tk" domain name and a free hosting. Are you ready to reconsider your views?? :)

no I am not. TK has low SEO.

plus it is banned from many web directories

from what I remember 000webhost is elite. THeir affiliate program though is scam.

Then you can get a co.nr free domain redirect BUT you have to put a small banner of them at your blog/site

are YOU ready to reconsider you thoughts? :)

co.cc used to offer free subdomains with no ads at all. I used that with 000webhost until I got my own hosting and bought a few domain names.

Now, I'm using earnings from Mturk to pay for them. A couple of hours of work is all it takes to pay the monthly costs.

sure akuseru but the benefits are SO many with a paid one, that's why you changed after all right?

Good link, Val!

Free sites really don't do well compared to paid hosting. It's totally worth the expense.

I changed because I wanted a more professional web presence. Free hosts reek of 'amateur,' and that's not the impression I want to give!

Not to mention having your own domain and a couple hundred available email addies makes it easy to do offers on GPT sites...

Oh! come on! There must be something!! I guess link backs can improve SEO. Can it?
Why would somebody ban .tk from directories. Thats insane. lol!
Getting serious, Free hosting has nothing to do with SEO, right?? If there is a problem, its with domain name. Will sort it out. ;)

shhhh

didn't you read the articles ?

Hi,

While I too recommend using your own domain and hosting when/if possible I do have to disagree with part of your statement: "If your site has a free domain like this: make-money-online.thefreehostcompany.com no one will search google for "make money online ithefreehostcompany""

You're right that no one will search for "make money online ithefreehostcompany" but they will search for 'make money online' - and if you set your site up properly: keywords, links, etc then that site/page will appear in the search engines regardless of what the actual domain name is. A good domain name will help of course but it's not the most important factor. In fact in one case I have a very generic domain name but that still ranks for what I want it to rank for and the actual domain name has nothing to do with it.

Though as someone else mentioned for professional reasons a free domain name doesn't look very good, and while getting your own domain and hosting doesn't cost all that much nowadays for some it's still more than they can afford or are willing to invest from their own money so free is the way to go to start with.

I want to check your blog. Link?

I have found that free domain name doesn't rank well. Please also let me know that what do you mean by links?

:) I already have signed up for freehostia account! thanks buddy!!

Thanks buddy! At last, I found someone! :)
What problem is free hosting to seo?? I mean, whats the technical reason?
how was your experience when you first started it? Please share! :)

Hi,

As far as I know there's no technical reason why you shouldn't use a free host when it comes to seo, the only problem you really face is that some readers/visitors may be put off by the fact that it's a free host so it doesn't look at professional. But depending on the topic of your blog/site then I can't even see that as being a major problem.

The only time it might be a real problem is if your site was handing out monetary advice etc - people might wonder why you are claiming to be an expert on earning online etc when you can't even afford your own domain/hosting - however if your site is on dogs for example then it really makes no difference.

As for me it's been awhile since I started with free hosts and while I'd urge you to get your own domain/hosting as soon as possible (there really is more benefit to it in the long run) using free hosts is much the same - you just need to work on having good content and promoting it etc.
