How to mine bitcoin?Is their any software or any websites to mine bitcoin.Websites like Bitminer are real or fake?

I've never heard of BitMiner before, and seeing how they claim to be "an industry leading Bitcoin mining pool" and are expecting you to send them money they are very likely trying to scam people.

BitMinter is a legit mining pool, BitMiner probably not so much.

In general, cryptocurrency mining requires dedicated hardware. In the case of Bitcoin that's ASICs, specialized hardware that are good for nothing besides mining Bitcoin. Some alternative currencies also require ASICs nowadays. Most alts that don't require ASICs, will make only make sense to mine if you set up a dedicated mining rig using consumer grade, high-end GPUs. Either way you'll have to get physical.

If you're serious about getting into mining, check out the BitcoinTalk mining sub-boards. Make sure to read the stickies first.
