How can a person that doesn't know anything about SEO be helpful?

    We try to get more traffic for a hotel site. The owner of the hotel proposed that his interns could help. I am not sure what kind of work they could do to help us.

    My first ideas was that they could blog about their experience as an intern at the hotel. Some travel forums welcome this kind of threads, they don't need their own site. But I am sure that the experiences are not only positive. On the other hand they could include some back links with good keywords.

    Right now I think it might be better if they would write more general articles about the town, country, etc.. And submit those articles to article directories.


    Any other ideas or suggestions?

    If you guide them, they can do lots of stuff. Submitting to directories, copy and pasting, blog comments, forum posting, and more. Give them good directions and they could do anything a experienced SEO pro could do.

    I often made the experience that people that are new to this trend to promote their business blatantly in the forums. They often don't understand that they can't spam a forum.

    Hi! if you would be getting interns to drive traffic to your site, you should need to guide them and give them specific instructions as to what kind of work they should do. Aside from writing and submitting articles to article sites, they can also do directory submission and blog commenting.
