How To Drive Traffic To Your Website – Quick Guide
Ok ive been doing a lot of work recently on seo and boosting hits to websites. Although i havn`t implemented this on my site i have done it on a few small customer sites and want to do a quick and albeit basic guide of things to do.
1. Site Content
Ok first things first you need to make sure that your site is full of useful and informative content. Google loves keywords and popular phrases so make sure you have lots of content that is updated on a regular basis.
2. Submit your site to search engines
Right so you have a site put together for example a blog. Most blogging software (like wordpress – the one i use) uses URL rewriting to make sure the website address has plenty of keywords in it. Google loves this! And of course you have made sure that you have lots of regular updates with new articles, news, reviews etc.
Submit your website to all the top search engines! You want your site indexed ASAP to get yourself on the search listings.
Submit yourself to the following sites:

Get on yahoo quickly by adding a refee in your account like this:
http://add.my.yahoo.com/content?url=http://www.yourblog.com/urblog.xml
You can submit your site to google directly if you want. Id advise signing up for the analytics feature which is free. This gives you stats on traffic to your swhich is great!
3. Link to your site from busy blogs
Digg, technorati and all the sharing/social tools out there are the best way to get traffic. Make sure you are talking on other blogs and that they are getting involved with what your doing. Once you get a few people linking to your site then your sorted. Its always a little bit slow getting going but put in the effort and you will have a busy blog in no time!
i really appreciate others views and comments so hope to hear from you all
