Link Exchange Exchange links with other sites that relate to yours. Look for other sites that could be of interest to your visitors. Avoid one of most common mistakes of naming filename of your link exchange page 'links'. This is one mistake that is often made and can save future problems from occurring. It is also a good idea to organize your link exchange page. Break links down into categories such as Internet Marketing, Shopping, Business Opportunities and so on. You can also move in on keywords that you're trying to rank with by using them in your link exchanges. An example of this would be if you were trying to rank high with keywords scrapbooking at home you would use those words in your exchange.

Directory Listings Some of best advertising available online would be getting listed in directories. This doesn't mean submitting to search engines. If you write quality ad copies and build a quality site; important search engines will find you. What I am talking about is directories that you pay to be listed in. A good example of this is http://www.WahmStateDirectory.com These types of directories you pay to be listed for a certain amount of time. Some are weekly, monthly or in this case are yearly. This is also an excellent way to get those 'back links' to help you rank better in search engines.

Website Design There are a few details that you can add to each web page to help increase search engine traffic and in turn increase targeted traffic to your website.

Title tags Use your targeted keywords for title. The HTML code for your title tags should look like following:

< html > < head > < title > Your page title (keywords) here < /title >

Meta tags Again, you can use your keywords in meta tags and describe each page within them. The HTML code for your meta tags should look like following:

< html > < head > < title > Your page title (keywords) here < /title >

--->Do Not Buy Traffic This is one of oldest scams around internet. I'm not talking about PPC programs; that's a whole other article. The ones I'm talking about are ones that 'guarantee you' 10,000 visitors for $10.00 (just an example). Do you really think that's possible? Not only do they try to sell you visits; they also try to say you'll get such and such amount of sales. In plain words…BULL! Besides, there is NO company that can guarantee you any amount of sales. Sales depend on demand of your product/service, price and of course your ad copy. Plain and simple…Buying traffic is a scam. Don't do it.

--->Don't Bother with Top Sites These quickly become a big waste of your valuable time. (Remember, your time is valuable and time IS money.) Everyone else listed there with your site is doing exact same thing you're doing. Let me guess, every day you are clicking on your link and voting for yourself and/or you are sending out tons of emails (possibly spam) begging all your friends to vote for you. Am I right? Don't waste your precious time doing this. Instead spend your time working on your ad copy. It'll take you much further.

--->Submitting Your Site Myths You don't need to submit your site to search engines. Submitting your site to search engines does not increase your search engine rankings. The important search engines will index a properly built website.
