Once you have your website up and running you need to get some visitors to it. Without visitors we can´t make any money, right.

Search Engines
There are a lot of ways to get your website “out there” and many of the good ways are free. The most obvious to start with will of course be search engines.

Search engines can still bring in a load of traffic to your site and this traffic will be targeted and most often of “good quality”. With the amount of websites on the internet today, it´s not as easy to get good listings on the search engines as it once was, but you should still submit your site to as many as you can. A lot of the search engines work on different formulas how the rank the pages and you might get lucky with some search engine to get a good ranking.

Even if the engines you submit to are smaller it will help getting your site noticed, and one visitor here and there is better than zero visitors at all. When finding search engines to submit to, you could head over to Wikipedia, they have quite an extensive list to get you started.

Social Bookmarks
For those that are not familiar with social bookmarking, this is, simply put a way of saving your bookmarks online with the ability to share them with your friends and people who are interested in similar things. It´s like a community of bookmarkers.

Using social bookmarking sites can drive anywhere from almost no traffic to quite a big heap of traffic to your website. It all depends on how fast word spreads about the content your site is providing. Even if you get almost no traffic from the social bookmark sites, it´s a free source of traffic that will build up over time. The more people who visit your site from the social bookmarks, the more chance there is of the word spreading. And as with the search engines, even if you just get one hit here and there, it´s better than getting no traffic at all.

Today, there are a bundle of social bookmarking sites on the web and a lot of them work differently from each other. I will not go into any of the sites in detail here but just mention them as a source of free traffic that you should not overlook. Luckily, Wikipedia have a list on quite a lot of the social bookmarking sites out there so you can get started.

Article Marketing
Article marketing is when you write an article about a specific topic (preferably related and targeted to your sites content) and you submit the article to the article directories online. Most of the article directories will allow you to put a bio box at the end of your article that can contain a link back to your site. Using article marketing can greatly improve your traffic and search engine exposure, also it will bring you good target traffic that are already interested in visiting your site because they have already had “contact” with your work.

To find some article directories to get you started, you could simply make a search on Google. The list you get back there should be enough to get you started.

Do you have a blog and would like to get on first page of Google? If your blog is new, it will be difficult, BUT not impossible. You can use competitive keyword phrases, such as “Make Money Online Fast”. Very competitive right?

Lets say that is your new article title, and you would like that article to be on the first page of Google. Take about 15 minutes to brainstorm and jot down ideas. Then you spend about 45 minutes to write the entire article. You don’t want to write a mediocre article under 10 minutes. You want to be on first page of Google so you want to show great contents for first impressions.

After you have finished your post, you want to do a bit of marketing. The easiest example would be to write an article to submit to Ezinearticles. Do not duplicate the article or the title! If you use the same title, then you will be competing with Ezinearticles for keyword phrase “Make Money Online Fast”. Maybe you can write an article to Ezinearticles about why people should make money using the internet. At the bottom of the post, there is a resource box that you can use to put your link to your blog. You want to use the anchor tag (a href=”http://url”)Make Money Online Fast(/a). Just change the ( ) to < >. You want all the links that are directing to your site with the text “Make Money Online Fast”.

Besides submitting articles, you can find blogs that are related to your niche, and e-mail the author to ask if you could guest post. Earlier, I had mentioned about first impression, so make sure all the blog posts in your site are great contents because if you want to guest post, most likely the author will check out your blog first. If author says okay, then you can write an article for that person. Again, do not use same title as the post that you want to rank high for your blog. When you are done, you can write at the bottom somewhere that you would like a link back to your blog with the anchor text “Make Money Online Fast”. This process is usually done through e-mail. Thank the author and keep in touch with this person because networking is a key to your success!

You can get your friends to submit your post to social bookmarking sites such as Mixx and Reddit. You can submit your own posts, but do it moderately. Assuming you are fairly new to social networking, your friends might have more connection to get your post noticed.

Another great way is that you should be an active member in the forums. Webmaster forums such as V7N and Digital Point are great for networking and building backlink to your blog. Follow their rules when you post your link inside your forum signature. Similar to the other links, you want the anchor text to be “Make Money Online Fast”.

Finally, you can write blog comments on related niche. If you can use “Make Money Online Fast” as your name when you comment, then you should definitely take advantage of that. Some authors like people to use personal names instead. Never spam the comments by saying “Nice post!” or something similar. Be nice, and ask questions or add key points to the discussion.

Four keyword phrases are very reasonable to get your blog on first page of Google. You need a lot of great backlinks pointing to your blog with the anchor text “Make Money Online Fast”. Give this some time to build up because you can’t rush.

How To Increase Blog Traffic – Learn SEO, social networking, traffic tips and tricks free. Number One On Google – not just getting to first page of Google, but number one spot.

We have to accept the fact: search engine optimization is one of the hottest things on earth today, at least on the online world. There are thousands of companies out there claiming they can help rank sites with search engines in 2 weeks or less. While there are quite a number of these companies who know exactly what they are doing, most of the so called SEO professionals are just out there to make quick money at their customers’ expense.

I write this article with the aim of helping beginners to know the basic steps in setting up their SEO techniques which could put them well ahead of most of the competition in their chosen niche.

Search engine optimization is a simple notion that is being complicated by the gurus in internet marketing for no reasons what so ever. Maybe they just want newcomers to get frustrated so they will always turn back to hire them for the job.

Here are 2 simple steps to follow so as to rank high with Google and other search engines.

1) When writing content, write as if you were talking with a friend. Some times when I want to write content on a given topic, I call up some friends who know much about what I want to write on, and we just talk over the topic while I record the discussion. Then I write the content just as I recorded it, with maybe few changes, then I upload to my website. The goal here is to use the same words as the internet users will type as search queries when they are looking for the information you are writing on.

2) The second step is a bit more complicated than the first. And it is very important too. It is called link building. It simply means building quality backlinks to your website. Just so you know, if you write good content on your website, then link building will not be that of a problem to you, since people will want to link to your good content from their websites. A good way I found out that you can use to build backlinks to your website is to write how to post. Basically you write and explain how to do something. Maybe how to install Google analytics on your website or how to make videos or anything you can think of and know how to do. You can also make research on how to do something, and then write about it.

Sooner or latter, people will start linking to your website, so as to exploit the knowledge you are providing. This will only help to increase your backlinks and thereby improving your website with better search engine rankings.

If you follow these two simple points, consistently, you will soon notice that your website is doing quite good and ranking very well with most search engines.
