Step 9 – Get Traffic From Search Engines

So far you have selected a great product, have your own site, have a resource page, are offering visitors a gift and following up with them. You’ve done well!

Now it’s time to list your site with the search engines.

The Search Engine Optimization business is confusing to say the least. It’s all too easy to find sites that offer us that juicy “top 10 position” if we will only pay them a fee.

WARNING: These are often a scam. Do NOT give them your money!

There are some very legitimate things you can do to improve your search engine position and begin getting some traffic from surfers interested in the topic of your site.

Best of all, they won’t cost you a dime. Here are three things you can do today to help your site get noticed.

Register with the search engines for free. So many people skip this step, focusing instead on quick fixes like software programs or “cloakers” that offer temporary results at best.

The thing to do is to submit your site to Google, Yahoo and the DMOZ yourself, and then let time and the quality of your site improve your ratings.

While this is a very basic step (you will want to do more in time) it’s a great place to start, especially if you do not have spare money to spend on books, membership sites, or software for search engine positioning.

Keep the content on your site current. Search engines love content that changes. Add new products to your resource page and change the wording on your home page once a week and you will do well with most search engines.

Ask for meaningful reciprocal links. While you could spend hundreds on programs like Arelis or Zeus, and spend huge amounts of time as well, using common sense as you surf will pay huge dividends and cost you nothing.

As you travel the Internet, stay on the lookout for sites that compliment your site. When you find one, take a moment to dash off an email proposing that you link to them and they link to you. Then let time become your ally as you build a list of links that really mean something, the type of link-backs that search engines respect, and reward with higher rankings.

Best of all, each of these techniques is effective … and free!
