If you are a webmaster or just a commoner like me then this article is
is for you .The information I am going to share with you is the result of
years of surfing and experimenting on the net.I write in the hope of
helping save your precious time
going through that same process which I went through.You could apply the time saved thus in improving the contents of your
site.
Lets begin:
WEBHOSTING
There is huge competitions among websites providing webhosting.Many
provide a few page for free and if
you want more they charge you.Some newer websites have given pages for free initially and are now charging for it.Yahoo’s
geocities and Google’s blogger
arewell known.
Your website is online.Now you approach your friends to get their
opinions about your site.Their
opinion is likely to be affected by the inherent bias in such
relationships.So how to get
your site reviewed.
REVIEW
Linkreferral – This site is great for review as well as free targeted
traffic in the range of 20-60 visitors a day.As
this site has a high traffic ranking ,naturally,they are going to get you
traffic too.You may have to spend at least 15 minutes daily.Whenever your site
will be reviewed you will receive an email.Your site is going to get reviewed
daily if
you spend those 15 minutessurfingand reviewing other
members site .
SEARCH ENGINES
Now with the help of reviews you can improve your site further.You are
not satisfied with the traffic.You want
more.The next step is to get listed in search engines and website directory.Google being the top search engine ,should be your
first priority.And you can submit it for
free.There are site which submits url for free to several search engines.To make
your site visible in search engines you need to have meta tags
which
are searched a lot but havefew competitors.To make it more clear ,your metatag would be a phrase
which is searched by a lot of people but yields only a few hundreds or thousands
results.
SUBSCRIBER
BASE
Visitor to your site should be able to subscribe for latest updates on
your site.So you got my point .You need to
update your site and then inform the visitors of those updates
through emails.This again
you can do for free but with limited features.This concept can be used in the form of newsletters or ezine
writing.
TRAFFIC
GENERATORS
The concept is simple .Only those free traffic generator websites could
send you traffic who arethemselves getting huge traffic. Traffic
swarm is one such website which alexa ranks as among the top 1000 website. Most
of these require you to spend sometime on them .Freeviral is one site where once
you get a page you don’t have to do much other than promoting your page during
initial months.Note using traffic swarm is against adsense terms of service.If
you use you will receive a warning from google.
PART 2
Traffic
generators
The use offree
traffic generators depends upon a number of factor.The most important being
what your website is about.For instance ,if its about buying books
then your goal
should be to get visitors who would actually be interested in buying
one.So if you spend
your time in getting such visitors then your hardwork would be more
rewarding.Let me make things a bit more clear.On this page I have got
informations for webmasters seeking traffic .So my hardwork will be rewarded if
I could get webmasters SEEKING TRAFFIC to visit my site.I wont be rewarded if
they are seeking books on making money etc.Mazority of the free traffic
generator sites on the net are visited my webmasters SEEKING TRAFFIC.So if I use
these sites I am going to get visitors who would be very rewarding for me.I hope
you got my point.
Web
Directories
Where will visitors SEEKING books go
to.Besides search engine they are likely to go toweb directory
esp the ones which pertain to books only.A link in the web directory helps increase
your page rank in search engines as well.So you should get
yourself
listed in as manyfree web
directories as possible.Which
directories could get you the best results?The ones which you see in the
sponsored links of google adsense or search engines.I will explain it to you.You will find a directory
like budu.com(if they are using google adwards to advertise their site) on all
sites with related contents .This advertisement drives huge traffic to these
sites.Because these sites are still in the advertisement phase they may not have
many links in their directories.So if you get your url added for free thenthe visitors arriving on these sites
would have a few options to click upon .Your site would have a high chance of
getting clicked.I hope you got my point.
You could also get a list of web directories on the net along with
their rankings.Begin
registering your site in the free top ranking ones
5/day.A link in the top ones will raise your rank in google.A link in very low rank directories with only a few sites
registered could get you 2-10 visitors
a day immediately. One directory which I like a lot is .It displays a thumb
image of your site.
Search
engines
Getting your site registered in all the top search engines is
important .There are sites which can submit it
for you for free in one go in some 20-30 top search engines.eg
. Some sites submit to 150+ search engines but they require you to
place links on your page.They have come up with new ideas of exchanging
links.I have not tried them.Here is the link
I think
they would do all they can to succeed .So those who register earlier could get
maximum benifit.I found them in sponsered links .Their offer of
submitting your site to 150+ search engines (its 256
countrywise)is logical.I submitted mine.They have got to promote your site
only then can they get more visibility and members.So by promoting this
page they will be getting visitors from my page who will become their members
and
thus here they have their own interest in it.As I found them in sponsered links
they must be doing serious bussiness.
BUILDING LINKS
There is a site called www.blogtricks.com .From there you
can get recent referrer tool to your site.
This helped me build links.Another way to build link is
leaving comments on related posts.I mean if
you have a site or blog post on smoking then search on
search engines for blog post on smoking.You
will find a number of them.Now leave a comment with a
link to your blog post on smoking.This will
get you more and sustained tergeted visitors then when
you go about leaving comments with unrelated links.To leave a link you will need
to know a bit of html coding.
