I wondered about this too a few years back and went in search of an answer. Here's what I found:
Spiders "spin" the first strand into the air to be carried by a breeze. The silk is so fine and lightweight it takes only a slight movement of air to carry it. They continue to "reel" out the silk until the beginning of it hits something and attaches itself - it's very sticky and attaches easily to whatever it hits. The spider is then able to walk across this one strand and begin spinning the rest of the web.

I agree. The spider "aims" at the object of desire and it is almost like a squirt of web that she will emit from her spinners. It is fascinating to watch. It takes some effort: if you watch closely you can see her body contract and then release the web into the air. More fascinating is the bark spider that spins an entire (intricate) web in the evening and then eats it all up in the morning and she takes great pains to ensure that every last bit is removed. So, some spiders do not leave a web for you to walk into. Broken webs (kite spiders) are also an indication that someone has used a game path in the bush a short while before you as the web is at the same level as the average humans' face - poachers or something large would have had to break it.

they fix the web to one side and walk across the ground and climb up the other side and attach the web.
They will also attach a long web line to a stone or stick on the ground to hold a web in place in a tree.

easy peasy,,,it climbs to the top of something,,,sticks its spinners(a r s e) up in the air and emits a single strand of web, this floats in the wind untill it attaches itself to another object, the spider will then retract his end of the web, usually by eating it(full of protein) 'till its tight...hey presto

THey let off a really long string of silk and it wafts in the breeze, when it hits something the spider will then rush across to the other side!
