Your Site Traffic - And How To Increase It
By | July 3, 2008
You’ve put in a huge amount of time building a Website
Now you need to get people to visit it
Paid traffic - Advertising
One way you can get more visitorsis to advertise for Website traffic. Google Adwords is recognized by most authorities as the best known service to do this. Increasingly, it is using the same criteria for pricing ads as Search Engines - you’ll need to create a Website with quality, unique content to get the best rates. Yahoo, Microsoft and a number of smaller playersare also in this -; and are playing catch-up.
Free traffic - Getting traffic fromSearch Engines
Search Engines are the first and greatestsource of Website traffic. You submit your site using a site map, the search engines’ bots visit your site and, hey presto!, soon enough you start getting visitors for free. That’s the theory. In practice, there’s a bit more that you need to know.
There are a number of search engines out there but the lessons from Google are applicable to most of the others and, today, Google is ahead of them.
Why?
Because Google’s business rests on giving its customers the best possible search experience and results so they keep coming back. That’s how they overtook everybody else. To do this, Google looks carefully at the Sites it returns in searches to make sure they are the most
* Relevant
* information-loaded
* Unique (i.e. not duplicate information)
* That the whole site is a good experience for the searcher
* Popular

Google computes a PageRank for each site. You can improve your site’s PageRank . 99% of website owners aren’t doing this – or are using out-of-date techniques that amount to the same thing. That gives you an immediate competitive advantage
Other ways to get traffic
