Hello, I have dumped my previous website and now I am working on a new idea. The website is almost completed and have got some content pages (50-60 article pages I believe). Now my goal is to generate traffic and also work on SEO side by side. Although I have done onpage optimization, still I think I have missed things like H1, H2. etc. Now I am going to move towards article submission, directory submission and SEM. 1. Can you please recommend good resources for article submission (which can generate indirect traffic and produce few backlinks as well). I would prefer the best ones. 2. Directory Submission. Which ones are highly recommended ? Is paying some bucks worth while submitting to few directories like Yahoo etc. 3. Digg, Mixx, Reddit. Thats what I know. What else I can use for making my website popular ? Any other medium you guys recommend ? Thanks.
For article submission I use ezinearticles.com, it provides good visitor flow as well as backlinks for a site. StumbleUpon, Propeller are some other sides apart from digg, mixx & reddit that you can use to submit your site to.
By "indirect traffic" I think you are talking about "natural search engine" traffic. You don't generate that, Google does, but for you to get it you need to do your onpage optimization first. So, take care of the basics like your H1, H2 tags as well as your meta Title, Description and Keyword tags first. Then start submitting your articles with links to your pages in your resource box. As was mentioned, EzineArticles is still the best place to start. Then you can submit to 10 or 20 other directories for your backlinks.
