Hey Everyone, I am an author at Geeks4share Your website needs a good and decent amount of traffic everyday, only then your website will come to light. Once your website has achieved getting good traffic, your website will be successful. But how do you make people come to your site? This is a common question. I have answers for this question. In this page, I will give you some ideas to build traffic to your website. But, always remember that “Building Traffic†is never going to be an instantaneous process. Use Meta Tags Using Meta Tags are really a old method. Now a days, these meta tags don’t matter a lot. Meta tags are normal HTML tags used between the open and close head tags. As an attribute for meta you will need to write what is the theme of that page, and some keywords. For example if you are doing a free tutorial on HTML your page’s meta tags can be something like this, <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>FREE HTML TUTORIALS</TITLE> <META NAME=â€DESCRIPTION†CONTENT=â€FREE HTML TUTORIALSâ€> <META NAME=â€KEYWORDS†CONTENT=â€FREE, HTML, TUTORIALS, LEARN, HTML, WEB DESIGNINGâ€> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML> Make sure your HTML structure is going to be like the above script. If you are expecting greater difference in your Page Rank or traffic, then don’t expect it from meta tags. As I told you, meta tags are not very important these days. Now a days, only the content matters a lot. The search engines spider have stopped indexing pages by meta tags, and have started to index page according to the keywords present in your content. So, Content Is King, Content is everything. Submit Your Site To Search Engines Submit your site’s URL to major search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. No need to submit to each and every search engine, as many search engines are dependent on major search engines like Google, Yahoo. If your site starts to appear in major search engines like Google and Yahoo, you can know that your site has started to appear on other Non-Famous Search Engines too. To Submit your link to Google use the following link: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl To Submit your link to Yahoo Use the following link: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit To Submit your link to Bing Use the following Link: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx Before you submit your website to these search engines make sure your site has enough content. It’s best to have 15+ pages before you submit. Don’t submit without enough content, if you do, then you run the risk of getting rejected, and you will not be able to appear in search results. DON’T KEEP ON SUBMITTING After you have finished submitting your link to search engines, be patient to see your site on search results. The process might take even more than a week. Don’t loose your patience and don’t submit again and again. This will get your site rejected. There is nothing to panic about, be patient and it will be done. Participate In Link Exchanges Link Exchange is going to be very interesting. Participating in link exchange is going to be a boost in traffic for both websites involving in link exchange. Link Exchange is nothing but having your link on other websites, while you have their link in your website. This helps your website and the other web masters to get boost in site traffic. Participating in link exchange will not only bring traffic from your partner but also from search engines. Your search engine’s page rank is going to increase according to the number of links to your site from other site(backlinks). The more such link, gives you a good page rank. The good page rank, is going to bring a good decent traffic from search engine. Publish Newsletter Write articles and publish it as a newsletter. Make your visitors to subscribe for your newsletter. Publish a newsletter regularly, some sites do it as “Monthly newsletter†or “Weekly Newsletterâ€. Newsletter is going to remind your visitors about your site. After reading your newsletter they may get an idea of visiting your site again. Newsletter will never help you get new visitors but helps you to hold on your old visitors. Make Use Of Blogs And Discussion Boards Now a days, bloggers have increased a lot in number. You can make use of their blogs, to get traffic to your site. Go to some famous blog that is related to your site’s content, which is already getting a good traffic, and comment on their blogs. Make sure you add your site’s link with your comment. Just like blogs, you can use Discussion boards and forums too. Discussion board use to discuss about someone’s problem and solve it. Go to discussion boards which discuss about topic in which you are strong, so that you can solve some problems being discussed there. Make an account at that particular board, put your site’s link as your signature. You can change your signature in profile settings. After this, go and solve others’ problems. You can increase traffic by the links, that you add in signature. Active participation in these boards will boost your traffic. Don’t Spam The Board, by getting over excited and don’t post comments that directly ask their visitors to visit your site. Sometimes the administrator of the board may delete your post or comment considering it as a Spam, and even some administrators may ban you from their website or they will delete your account from their website. Make Use Of Social Networks Register in famous social networks like Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, Myspace etc. Make your visitor to follow your website at these networks. Start to share your articles or pages at these social networks. Try to get as many followers as possible. Get social network plugins for your site. Put Facebook Share Button, twitter comments etc on your site. You get more visitors if your visitor shares your pages on his/her profile in these Social Networks, this helps you in finding new visitors for your website. Make Video Tutorials If you are running an tutorial site, then you can try making some video tutorials and upload them on youtube. Youtube is a website that ranks 3rd in Alexa and it allows us to broadcast yourself, it’s a big advantage, so let’s make use of it. Make as many tutorials as possible and upload them on youtube. This is going to bring a steady permanent traffic to your website. Do SEO(Search Engine Optimization) We begun this “Building Site traffic†topic with search engine traffic related tip (Meta tags) so I would like to finish off again with a search engine related tip.

Not correct. Check wikipedia for meta tags, what they are and their usage. Those "tipps" are shown 100's of times .. just Google for it. There are tons of tipps'n'tricks. Oh and by the way.. this is HTML & Website Design subforum, not SEO... all your "tipps" are SEO related.
does are good tips to get traffic, linkbuilding was the main work for seo's. social media, bookmarkings, classified ads and others more are the easiest way to build link and to gain traffic. to maintain your high rank you should link your site always,,,,
Do you have recommended site or forum like this where we can offer quality link exchange? I find my LE offer here not acceptable. Their sites are basically for affiliate and money making while I have corporate site looking for LE.
Yes, you are correct link building is the best way to increase traffic. Thanks for sharing such a great information.
Yes thanks for the usefull information, however the HTML keyword and description tags lost importance years ago. Google ignores these as far as im aware. However the title tag still remains important for SEO.
I think that what youhave said above are about the SEO, so you should not categorize the SEOpaart as a single part. BuT I have a doubt that whether these kinds of methods are illegal or breaking the google's rules.
to truefunnystories,, yup, SEO is very important in link building,,, SEO helps the website rank higher by linking to other sites or linkbuilding,,, http://www.pageonerankings.com.au/
OLD! and wrong! Meta tags make no difference at all in most search engnes these days for a start, link exchanging is seen as bad practise these days, submitting your site is pointless it will get found easy enough if you have a couple of inbound links anyways. There is some good stuff in your article but you even posted it in the wrong forum, this forum is for helping people with HTML problems not spamming an article posted hundreds of times to get a link to your blog, sorry but so sick of hearing the same tips and tricks over and over and over. LAME.
