Tips to Increase Ranking and Website Traffic
It is worth cataloging the basic principles to be enforced to increase website traffic and search engine rankings.
Create a site with valuable content, products or services.
Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25 words in your page content and spread them evenly throughout the document.
Research and use the right keywords/phrases to attract your target customers.
Use your keywords in the right fields and references within your web page. Like Title, META tags, Headers, etc.
Keep your site design simple so that your customers can navigate easily between web pages, find what they want and buy products and services.
Submit your web pages i.e. every web page and not just the home page, to the most popular search engines and directory services. Hire someone to do so, if required. Be sure this is a manual submission. Do not engage an automated submission service.
Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and accordingly modify your web pages so your search engine ranking remains high. Use online tools and utilities to keep track of how your website is doing.
Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content, keywords, etc.
Use reports and logs from your web hosting company to see where your traffic is coming from. Analyze your visitor location and their incoming sources whether search engines or links from other sites and the keywords they used to find you.
Make your customer visit easy and give them plenty of ways to remember you in the form of newsletters, free reports, reduction coupons etc.
Demonstrate your industry and product or service expertise by writing and submitting articles for your website or for article banks so you are perceived as an expert in your field.
When selling products online, use simple payment and shipment methods to make your customer’s experience fast and easy.
When not sure, hire professionals. Though it may seem costly, but it is a lot less expensive than spending your money on a website which no one visits.
Don’t look at your website as a static brochure. Treat it as a dynamic, ever-changing sales tool and location, just like your real store to which your customers with the same seriousness.

Tips To Increase Traffic To Your Website
All websites need traffic to succeed, most new website publishers are lost when it comes to driving traffic to their sites and think of it as some sort of black magic secret that is difficult and impossible to do. Nothing could be further from the truth and the easy tips i listed below will hopefully get you going in the right direction
Tip #1
To get maximum one way back links to your site article marketing is by far the best. By submitting unique article to the top directories you get one way links in your author resource box and also links from other webmasters who use your article on there site. The rules say an webmasters using your articles for reprint should leave your resource links in place and in tact, about 60% actually do this but it is well worth it. Submitting 1-2 articles per day based around LOW COMPETITION keywords is the best way. By low competition i mean you should not target the word REFINANCE but instead target a more specific term like CANI REFINANCE WHEN BEHIND ON MY MORTGAGE by doing this your article will more then likely appear on the first page of Google because not many other pages optimize for that term but many do for REFINANCE. In order to find low competition keywords a tool like keyword elite will save you lots of time and gives you not only daily search amounts but also competing page amounts for actual keywords. A tool like this will really let you zero in on low competition keywords and increase your traffic.
The top Article Directories I submit to are as follows:
http://www.ezinearticles.com/
http://www.articlecity.com/
http://www.buzzle.com/
http://www.articlecube.com/
http://www.articledashboard.com/
http://www.goarticles.com/ (had a recent PR reduction to PR3 but i get traffic from them)
Always remember to submit original articles to the directories and always use anchor text links in your resource box and write articles around low competition keywords for the maximum effectiveness.
Tip #2
Aside from just writing articles for the article directories you can also approach a webmaster of
a higher PR 4 or higher website that fits your niche and ask them for a one way link to your site in exchange for a unique article. The y basically give you a one way link for your 400 or more word article. Its a win win situation. Although do not settle for a link on some page labeled resources or links, you want a home page or content anchor text link with the keyword of your choice.
Tip #3
The next easy thing to do is to submit your site to free web directories, its easy to do and very
effective. Keep in mind that alot of free web directories require a link back to there site before
they will add you, the alternative is to pay to have your link added. A paid link is added much
faster and generally will not require a back link. It can however get expensive. A great tool
that can make directory submission very fast and easy is directory submitter pro.
Tip #4
Placing classified ads at US Free Ads is another way to get one way links and more traffic to
your site. For $12 a year you can have up to 40 ads running all pointing to your website with
anchor text links. Or for $10 a month you can have unlimited ads. For US Free Ads I write a
250-300 word article and include one anchor text link to a content page on my site and one to an ezine article that i wrote. If you chose low competition keywords your ads will in most cases show up on the first page of Google within an hour, i have had ads appear in 5 minutes at times! Google currently loves us free ads so it is worth taking the time to utilize it. Plus the extra link juice to your articles helps them place well.
Tip #5
Even though they are considered out dated and ineffective you can still get some traffic from
reciprocal links. using a service like link market is a way to get RELATED links to your site.
The only drawback to this service is that you will get many requests for links. I have limited my
self to only taking PR 4 links and higher and only request 5 a week or so. That way you will
build them more slowly and can be more picky. I stop when my link page hits 100 of these. No
reason just a number i have in my head and since it is perceived Google frowns on pages of links
100 is a safe bet.
Tip #6
Posting comments to high blogs with a PR of 3 and higher is another great way to get one way anchor text back links. To do this just put your anchor text in the box for your name and then your website link. Just be sure that the comment you add actually is useful and not just a general "great post" comment. Also make sure that the blog does not have a nofollow attribute for links, this can be found in the source code.
Tip #7
A quick post on San Francisco craigslist in the real estate section is a great way to get a high PR one way back link. Only problem is that it expires after 30 days so use them for getting a site indexed quickly or just add new ones every 30 days. I usually write a 200 word blurb about my service and use and anchor text link in the ad. Offer something unique and you may even get some phone calls!

Although there are many more ways to get traffic to your site these are the easiest and have been the most effective for me and hopefully they will help you to!
