It does not take long time. Mine was indexed in two days. But it takes time and a lot of work to get your website on the first page in your area of expertise . I'm working on my site being in top10 for some time and still have a lot to do .

That's because you need liquids, not water to survive. That would be more correct. Anyway it depends from person to person how much you can survive without water. Also the temperature and humidity of the air counts a lot. If the temperature and humidity is higher your body liquids will run out faster. Normally it would take like 3-5 days for someone to die of thirst.

Same here . But I still can pay til 9 October so this is good. And yes Xisto is actually dead which is sad. The first time I found Trap it was on Xisto.

I voted for Saint's Michel one. I like the way he used the colors and the simplicity of it attracts me . I wish you best of luck to others . Also I want to apply to this contest too next time .

Ok lets start with the begining. All things on your website, text, images, flash, scripts will be downloaded by your browser in order to see your website. That's why in order to make your site run faster and better you must make sure that is valid website and meet the criteries of W3C Web Consortium . This will not only make your website run faster but also will save a considerable amount of bandwith. In order to that you need to learn the basis of valid (x)HTML and CSS. You can learn them at W3Schools . Get used to validate your pages. You can do that here . You can also validate your CSS there not only your HTML. It would take some time for me to explain all the things such as captioning the images, optimize them for web, improve your website's SEO and all the things. I only wanted you to get to know how you can do what you asked. Furthermore you have to learn it by yourself. There are plenty of books, websites and other resources where you can learn. I'm always avaivable to help as much as I dont have to explain an entire history. Cheers!

Looks Ok at the first sight but you can still make some improvements. Firstly the "@ contact" is poorly made. You could make a better one because it has creepy quality, bad colors and it takes down a lot of your forum. Also you might want to change the new post, old post forum images and all that set to fit better. The same goes for the menu tabs. Overall it seems a pretty good website. Ah and here is that "@ contact" thingy, I've made one for you if you want to use it. Cheers!

Welcome around Alex . Good luck handling the wild members around. I hope you accept bribes *Cough*.

I heard about those taxes too but that was some time ago when I first join Trap. Yes .tk is useless, it will only damage your website reputation. If you really want to get a free domain like those than go for .co.cc because is the best.

Hey I was just suggesting you if you really want a pro blog you need to do that. And why unlimited ? Think a little. It takes time to build your blog, to get audience. You can gradually upgrade your plan. When you see that your currently bandwidth won't handle you can simply upgrade it wit less than a dollar. You don't need the best hosting plan in the start. And here comes the great part. While you doing this and time passes the incomes will come. You can use them to support your host and even have a win from this . But it's your choice I was just trying to help . And trust me same features you get from the free blogger platform you can get from the wordpress one installed on your webhost.

You can purchase a domain from here to. If I'm not mistaken is only 10$. And about posting non stop here to get the money for the hosting you are totally wrong. You can earn the money for the 1.95$ plan in 4-5 good quality posts. As I said you don't have to know coding at all. Nothing really. Just common sense. Downloading wordpress platform and installing it is easy. Just a few clicks. After that putting the theme is the same, or plugins. It takes a few minutes. Thats all. This morning I installed wordpress in less than 5 minutes. It's really easy. The admin panel is the same as wordpress.com. Just give it a try if you dont trust. Go and get a free hosting without having to post. It doesnt matter which one just to support wordpress installation. Try and install it and look around. You'll see how easy it is . But just my opinion tough. Cheers!

Agreed. But having your blog on your own host gives you more freedom. You can make toatally custom themes and you can use plug ins too . And you don't need to be a coder, designer to get your blog working and look pretty on your own host. All you need is common sense. It's easy to do it.

Firstly, The Simpleton is perfectly right. You must bring high quality posts in order to attract more people to your blog that will make you money. I'll answer your question about your website not being indexed yet in google. It's all because you dont own a domain yet. Yes domains make it faster for google to index. My opinion, if you really want to have a good blog you definetly need to start it like a pro. Firstly forget about the blogger.com, wordpress.com and many other engines like this. Get a webhoting service from here, the 1.95$ plan is enough for you and if you need more bandwith just upgrade it with less than a dolar. Get a domain so you can be indexed by google easier and also your audience will remember easier how to get to your blog. Go to wordpress.org and install it on your webhost. Than you can get themes, custom plugins that will help you a lot. Even plugins that will help your SEO. If you need help just post it here and I'll help you with whatever you want. I recently started a web design blog on my own but I have some experience. Cheers!

Did you used the same setting on MySQL database as on the computer ? You shouldn't upload the installed version on your webhost directly. Upload the install files and simply install it. It should work fine .

Personally I think that 000webhost is one of the best option out there. I can say that I have a considerable amount of experience with their hosting. Firstly to start with their words. Yes it's really annoying as Sky said because they promise CPanel but in exchange you get their panel which I dare to say that isn't that creepy but still it doesnt compare with CPanel. They dont put adds banners or anything else on you websites so this is nice from them. Now, this host is good for a nice cozy blog, a personal website that doesn't get high audience because I have to say that they oversell. They are lying about the amount of bandwith that they give. Come one 100GB. Even now thats somewhere paid hosts give. After about 5GB of bandwith consumed your website starts to get slower and slower till wont work. This is a big minus. The amount of hard disk is ok in my opinion, it tends to be good. Not to say another problem is their MySQL servers which from time to time Idle and if you own blog, forum, CMS website that depends on MySQL databases your website will be broken. This annoying problem is encountered lesser lately.Also another problem they have is the overcharging of the FTP access which also lately is encountered lesser. Overall it's a good hosting, possibly the best in their class. It clearly wont compete with Trap but it might be number one against the other ones. That would be all that I have to say from my experience I had with 000webhost.Cheers!

Well as most of the guys say GMail is for sure the best free emailing service around there. It's the fastest, the safest and the most comfortable to use. I just love it . It has a lot of great services. You can activate your phone notifications for free. You can also with an email at them use other of their great services. Also if you purchase a web master tools account you can use your own domain and boost up your space. Also you have 7365 MB disponible for use which is a lot more than you need. Just check it out. I guarantee its the best .Cheers!
