Search Engines and Search Engine Optimization - Getting Traffic

Post subject: Getting Traffic
Without buying it, whats the best way to get traffic to your site.? I did about 3 hours of traffic exchange and it gave me 40,000 hits believe it or not but I cant remeber where I did it. When you do those traffic exchanges do the hits count? And how much do the hits reflect in your search engine ranking. I still have yet to be on a search engine. Submitted almost 2 weeks ago.

Thanks
David

Dave,

Getting listed on the search engines takes time. I doubt you'd see any resuslts in 2 weeks. It can take 6 weeks or longer.

As for the 40K hits, that's a lot of traffic, but how many sign-ups did you get from it? Was it targeted traffic? I don't find these services to worth my time. What's to stop these guys from just loading your site into a browser & auto-refreshing it?

I was burned by one of them a few years ago. I bought 10,000 hits from some guy on eBay. After I'd paid him, he actually had the nerve to tell me, "Don't worry if all your hits come from the same IP address".

While you're waiting to be indexed, you might try writing an article or 2 (with your signature & URL embedded in them) & submitting them to ezines for publication.

Another good way to get free traffic is to participate in forums where you feel your target audience might be and set up a signature (like mine below) with your link in it.

The site looks good, by the way!

Good luck!

I agree with that.
I am suggest that not buy hits.
The best way for your website is google adwords and of course SEO optimizations.

You know - I agree with this statement, with one small exception. If you already have an established website and you want your new website to be crawled within moments, link to it (assuming they aren't hosted on the same server or within the same IP block).

It will take a bit of work, but I've just recently lauched a tight niche network of websites and all but one (which I literally opened yesterday) are all ranking well for their intended keyword (within top 10) and all of the sites are less than 2 months old.

One site is only 2 weeks old. How did I do it - well, diligence is one thing, persistance, and a whole lot of specific link exchanges and a rock solid linking strategy. Also, it helps if you have connections with people who have websites which do well too.

Once you have a roadmap or course of action for your site, you have your on the page optimization down, you have your linking strategy put together, and you have a little faith - it can go a long way.

With that said - if you're not listed in search engines right away, the key is not to give up and to have patience. If you want to establish a long term business, that's not going to happen overnight. If you're looking for quick money, then I'd suggest PPC while you allow your true money maker to establish itself with the search engines.

Warmest regards,
Teli

Its been just 2 weeks...it may easily take 6 - 8 weeks to get listed...not to worry!

40,000 hits is great but look for targeted hits not just hits...

If you want, you can try megastake.com.

I disagree with that. Smile

Listing in search engine is quite easy. The hard part is getting to the top.

I normally get into google around 3 days for new websites. Blogging seems to help a lot for my case.

You mean blogging on you own site or on others' site?

I'm sure he meant blogging on your own site. It's easier for a blog to get indexed cause you can blog and then submit it to pinging services like pingoat.com. So search engines find your site quickly. Submitting to social bookmarking sites also works.

Search Engines will index your website a lot faster if you have a lot of backlinks and if you have fresh new content about your business.

You can start a blog at blogger.com, write about topics that are related to your business, this will create backlinks and content for the search engines to find your website with.

Social Bookmarking is another way.
Posting to forums with your website in the signature line.
Try out Squidoo.com, create a lens, this is a lot like blogging.
I have been trying MySpace and BigDaddyFriends
Theres lots of ways to get traffic besides traffic exchanges.

To your success,
Les

In getting a traffic I used SEO to work on this because I heard from some expert that it is really effective if you want to increase Page Rank of your site.

A great way to get very quick surges in traffic is to start a promotion or competition in which you give something away or give a reduced rate for your service, as long as you back it up with some publicity such as getting some paid google advertising or some social networking (basically anything with high visibility) you can really get some decent traffic without waiting for your improvements to your sites SEO taking hold, traditional marketing still has it's uses
