1. I'm at the same level too...I'll be watching your post



2. Sounds like you have done some really good work, but I am curious, how related are your links to your website? Meaning, if someone is at a site that links to yours are they looking at something that is related to what you sell? One of the keys to creating higher ranking and more traffic is to have a related network of links.

   Also, do you have a blog? Having a blog is one easy way to get some fresh traffic, and also create a customer before they hit your site.

   Viral marketing is another great way to start getting more free traffic. Imagine if you could actually make money marketing your site- wouldn't that be nice?

   Just a few suggestions, hope they are helpful.




3. I don't know what kind of site you have, but I increased my traffic by putting free classified ads on Craigslist.com. Whenever I post a new add I get over 100 hits that day... For a custom stained glass art website that is pretty good. I don't know if you have tried Google Adwords... That's a pretty good program. Also, you can try a MySpace page for your business. It gets people more active and exposes you to a lot more people via the networking aspects of MySpace.



4. Like may people I recommend submitting articles to article directories, asking similar sties to yours to link to your site, submit you site to directories, post on forums that have to do with you sites theme using your signature link back, and more that are explained on the following pages from my site.

   There are two easy ways to get your link on other sites that you should be using.

   #1. Find sites that you want to get links from and then custom write articles for each site and send them to the editors. Include your link in the "credits" at the bottom of the article, of course.

   Make the articles interesting and useful to the readers of the sites and you can be sure that most of your articles will get published.

   Take some of the articles you have already written and customize them for a niche. It's easier than you think and it does get results.

   #2. The second way to get articles (with links) published is to submit the articles to sites that accept articles for distribution.

8. The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages.

   Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website, in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.

   You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo.

   Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them.

   A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

   Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material.

   Placement of Metatags:

   A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

   The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services.

   And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory.

   Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on Yahoo.com: Begin with the search query "pizza downtown los angeles." It will bring up some 1.4 million+ websites as results. Check out where "Pizza Next Door" is ranked. It's in the Top Five! Again, Pizza Next Door's high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Yahoo's publication guidelines.

   Good luck!




9. Hi, There are many ways you can drive more traffic to your website. I was in the same boat as you for the longest time. I had a greart website but veryu few visitors.

   Doing a search on google about website traffic could get you some ok free information and a lot of products promising to do a lot of things they won't do.

   Writing articles for free articles submission sites has been by far my best producing method.

   I have had real succuss from one website (see sources) It has helped me drive 250 - 1500 people to my site daily.

   Note: The link is NOT an affiliate link, this site doesen't even support affiliates I am recommends it because it is that good!
