These are what you need... (Not just Habbo, any website)

- Backlinks
- Good SEO
- Unique content
- Good design / Good UI
- Advertising / marketing
- Quick loading
Plus many more factors

Most people today think bringing out a habbo fansite/radio now is so easy. It's more of a question whether you are in it for the success or the hard work and determination. If you're looking for the success then it is not going to happen in most cases. Whereas if you're in it to support habbo and to learn how to run a website then the REST will follow. Which comes to success.

Back to when i said most find it easy to open a fansite, it's simple. It is VERY common, some habbo will get inspiration from fansites like habboxforum, clubhabbo or habbomeadow, then they'll get their layout, hosting and a few staff etc. After that they'll open and make a big big fuss. Take that back for a sec then... what about content? Most sites will open and not think about content and all that. Attracting visitors in a big load like habbox does is very skillful. It's purely a business but non profitable. The majority of visitors will see the site and witness the fancy layout but it doesn't OFFER. For example the content. Badly done work. I know this because time and time i recieve submissions for Habbar tuner from sites that aren't even hopefuls. I take a first look and i think "no". It's so basic that i can distinguish the sites even from the names.

You have to require the basic ingredients to make a successful site. Then you build. I don't think there is a SET list but some are right in that area. It depends on what type of person you are, and your ambitions.

This is a short reply to the post above;

Thing is, creating a "website" couldn't be easier nowadays with people thinking they will get popular using Piczo or Freewebs - it's just not going to happen.

But, creating a fansite isn't hard at all. Hosting, Domain and your done practically although you need a template if you cannot make one yourself.

That is the point i was trying to get across. Even some users are getting proper hosting from their buddies who have bought a reseller.
The template subject is getting even more debatable. Most layouts now are bought from kids/teens who make money from it. It's reminds me of the black market.

I can get a sites content up easily, I know a bit of php, html etc..
The only thing whats stoping me now is a layout.

So im looking for just a layout which I can finish coding my self
The only thing whats stoping me is:

That's what i was talking about when i said it's the reason most fansites aren't successful. Most sites that are, have learnt for themselves and done good out of it.
It's also a good benefit on your behalf. You're just being pure bone idle if you don't learn it yourself.
