Website Question!?

Okay! Can you help me to get to where I wanna go?? I want to create a website full of different information, blah blah blah. But I want to be able to have advertisements on there that I can make money off of. I am not computer literate so you really need to spell things out for me. What type of yahoo web thingy do I need in order to do this, or any other company for that matter. I'm not looking to spend a fortune but looking to gain one..... Any help is appreciated!! I checked into web hosting at yahoo but I think it was for a small business. The page is not for a small business but rather personal ... kinda ... but the geocities is not for me. I don't think you can add ads to free websites.... so I've read... HELP!!

1) Grab one of the low-budget shared hosting plans at HostGator (less than $4 a month)

2) Use the Fantastico automated install on your new hosting account to install Drupal with a couple of easy clicks.

3) If you like to write, start posting some articles to your new site so you've got some content, hopefully with a theme or series of related subjects. Alternately, get friends to sign up as registered users and get THEM to write some articles. Or go to online free article databases and grab some that fit your site's theme.

4) Once you've got something of substance on your site, apply for a Google AdSense account.

5) Go the the Drupal website and install the AdSense module.

6) Configure the AdSense module for your site and BAM! - instant pay-per-click ads.

7) Write more articles, or add some from free article databases on the web. Keep adding new articles every week, and encourage registered users to add comments. The more activity you have on your site, the more frequently search engine robots will visit your site for indexing. Which means more visits from users, and more clicks on your ads.

you can try freewebs.com

I think what you are talking about are "affilate" programs where you post a link to a mercant and if something gets sold off of your link you receive a few cents (and believe me it IS only a few cents) I know Amazon.com has them you might check other places, I think Ebay has them. But keep in mind you're NOT going to make a lot of money this way. They don't pay for every click from your page, you only get paid IF the person who enters the merchant's site from your site actually makes a perchase and then you usually get no more than three cents for each purchase. So if a person makes a $100.00 perchase all you get is 3 cents out of that $100.00 and that could be for an entire week. When I go to a website I RARELY check out the advertisers on the site and I don't know many people who actually do.
