Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • An account at DM2
  1. Step 1

    Visit the DM2 site and open an account.

  2. Step 2

    Pick a good name for your account (it will be part of your URL). Select your template.

  3. Step 3

    Begin the customization of the site using your own keywords and descriptions to provide meta information to the search engines.

  4. Step 4

    Add images to your pages and use the online image editor to crop images, round corners or add text to images.

  5. Step 5

    Create content with a WYSIWYG editor that gives you control over various color and formatting options. DM2 is optimized to help you insert contextual text ads that can bring you revenue. You can insert banner ads and other types of ads that are customized to match the content of your website.

  6. Step 6

    Various types of pages can be added to your site including contact pages, shopping pages and general content pages. You can set up RSS feeds for your site.

  7. Step 7

    There are two account types: a basic account and an advanced account. A basic account is hosted by DM2 and you get a URL like yourname.dm-2.com along with the account. You can use the advanced account if you want to publish the site to your own domain.

on 9/29/2009 It is simple but more importantly they host the site for you and pay you a rev share for any banner impressions or searches that are completed on the site. The corporation that built the product is www.epicenter.net. I've been using them as an alternative to domain parking for the past two years.
