There are many more directories out there but these are some solid ones to get into first. In time, your web site will begin to appear in major search engines. Most directories that charge for submission have adopted policy started by Yahoo where fee is for “review” only. It is absolutely vital that you read over all guidelines to be certain that your web site will be accepted.

ARTICLES

A great way to generate traffic and back links to your web site is by writing articles. Here is general process of how it works:

• You craft a great article.
• You submit that article to web sites geared towards web site owners needing content.
• Owners grab your article, which contains a link to your web site, and use it on their web site.

As you can see, process is very simple. When other web site owners place your article on their web site, you will be generating incoming links all over Internet with no work at all. This will not only lead to possible traffic but help to establish value of your web site to search engines—so better rankings.

It is very important that your article is written well. If not, quality web site owners are much less likely to use your article and it makes you look bad. Most web site owners skip this important step in traffic building because they can not craft effective articles. If this is you, do something about it—visit Jason A. Martin right now and click on “Articles for your web site” link. For a small fee, articles can be generated for you—and you retain full rights. Once received, simply slap your name on it and submit to places like Ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, etc.

This is perhaps one of most important steps of all and after your article is written, it takes no work. The results can be extremely fast. Many articles out there are not crafted well so it is important to not formulate your writing style and perception blindly on work of others. While many web sites that offer articles claim to “edit” them, it is more of a casual edit.

TEXT LINKS

The goal here is to increase number of links from related web sites. For example, if your web site is about hot dogs, you will want to obtain links from web sites that are about such topics as: hot dogs, eating, hot dog buns, hot dog toppings, hot dog contests, etc. Obtaining a link from Joe’s Engine Parts will not help much and may actually hurt in regards to search engine rankings.

After thinking up words and phrases that are related to your main topic, visit your favorite search engine and search for those items. Visit web sites that come up and try to get your link on them. Some might exchange a link with you, some might offer a link on their web site in exchange for payment, and some might simply say no. Keep at it.

IN THE END

By completing these tasks, your web site will have established a solid foundation that will withstand changes future holds.

Resist temptations to do actions which will hurt your web site and build it with future in mind.

Some Hype you should avoid:

A. Guaranteed 10000 Visitors for $….

You have seen it every where on net. When you buy a package you will come to know that you haven't made a single sale by time package runs out. The reason behind it is that they show your site in a small pop-up window and pop-ups are not much effective. The other reason is your site shown in front of untargeted people who are not interested in your product.

B. Blast your ad to over 10 million sites….

There was a time when it really worked but its no longer true. There are so many automatic submitters these days and there's very little chance anyone will ever see your ads.

C. Send your ad to 10million email address….

This type of Marketing Are Now Considered SPAM! And if you are reported for SPAM, you can lose your ISP, website, e-mail account, and much more!

D. Guaranteed Search engine ranking….

Top placement on search engines is a hard task and requires lots of money and time. There are millions of websites across internet and everyone wants a top search engine ranking. If you are not in Top 20 for your keyword youll not be getting many visitors.

E. Just Push one Button and get 1000 visitors a day type Software….

Internet is filled with this hype “Targeted traffic at push of a button”. They show your site at autosurf traffic exchange programs where everybody uses this type of software to gain credits and nobody actually sees your site.
