How to bring traffic to your site - Search Engines Part 2
from:Without traffic to your websites, you will not be successful at Internet marketing. The basic algorithm is no traffic means no profit. And as most of us know, we create websites to generate traffic to them. Bringing traffic to your site can be done in so many ways, such as reciprocal linking for example.
But the best and cheapest way of drawing traffic to your site is via the search engines. To do this, you should design your site to be attractive to the search engines.
Search engines do not care how much effort you put into designing your site with all the latest borders or sound effects. If you fail to get listed in the search engines, no traffic will come to your site and no one will see your latest creations.
Do not make the mistake of trying to trick the search engines; use things that are only related to your site. In this way, people and search engines will know what kind of business you are operate.
Another mistake for some web developers is using hidden words to attract traffic. This is done by putting hidden keywords into your site. They make the color of the keywords the same as the background, camouflaging the words with the whole web page.
This kind of trick may be invisible to human eyes, but search engines are much more optically advanced to notice this kind of mischief. When caught, your site will be penalized which will result in a great loss of traffic and profit.
There are a lot of search engines and each one has its own rules that can change at any time.
Try to get familiar with these sites' rules and regulations to be able to get a grasp on how they want your sites to be. It's also a must to buy your own domain for sites as these kinds of domains have a greater chance of getting listed faster than those from free web hosting sites.
As a professional marketer, you need to build quality web sites with valuable and useful content. Using a free web host does you no justice with the search engines or potential customers. Finally, make sure your site is complete. Missing graphics or links is not good for your human visitors or the search engine spiders.
Now you have an outline of what you need to do in order to be recognized by the search engines and get that all important traffic.
Spend your time building a quality site and you will be rewarded. Too many sites are just plain junk; spam sites generated in an attempt to fool the engines. It may work for a while, but overall, you will suffer.
So now that you know what it takes to be listed in a search engine, your next question should be what search engine should I submit to?
There are so many search engines that you could submit to, the internet is populated with almost thousands of search engines. But some of them are only spam engines, so be careful in submitting to sites that do not have good credibility.
A good search engine should at least have a page rank of 3 and above, but this factor fully depends on the span of time that the website has been inhabiting the Internet. If it is a new site and you think that it has a good possibility it will rank well, then you can submit to them.
You can use some big search engines to check for credible small engines. Like for example on my site, I usually check some new engines first on Google before submitting to them.
You can just type the URL into the space provided for your search and if the site that you are searching for is listed in Google, then there is a great possibility that the search engine you are submitting to is a good one.
Just try to remember to spend your time creating credible sites instead of wasting your time creating spam sites. Black Hat tools for optimizing your site are not a good way to bring in traffic. These things may work for you the first time, but in the end, you will suffer.
Remember that the search engines, specially the big ones, are the main factors that affect your traffic numbers. So be good to them and abide by their rules; in this way, you can do good not only for your site, but also do good for other people who are viewing your site and expecting to find useful results.
