the number of other sites that have a link to your site actually helps your rating in yahoo, and google.  Keywords are important, but even great keywords won't do anything for traffic.  There are options that you can pay to have your site listed in prime area, sidebars etc. on yahoo and google.  The thing you need the most of is time!  I went from 40 to 50 hits a month, to over 3000 a month, now I'm back to 40 to 50.  Most of the big hits came from image searches, not regular google searches.  \nIt'l like anything else.. there is no easy way, it costs money!

wow...believe me is not easy and it all depends on your budget.\nThe first listing on all the major search engines are usually sponsor ads or CPC (colst per click) and they can get very expensive.\nAnother way to get you web site withing the first page on search engines is to have good keywords placed on your page. Not just in your meta tags but in other area also!\nI use a program called web position gold and it help alot during the creation of my site..which isnow listed Number 5 under yahoo for specific key words.

That's a pretty broad question and hard to answer without details, but I'll try.\n\nOne of the first steps is SEO (search engine optimization). There are tons of SEO companies out there. www.stepforth.com provides this service for my website.\n\nThe quality of your website is useless unless people can find it at the moment they want to. Pay per click advertising is the quickest way to get on the search engines. Again, StepForth provides these services for me. \n\nYou should also consider reciprocal linking. A company called www.domaindrivers.com is doing this for my website.

There's several criteria that determine how much traffic your website gets but by far the most important things are to have a good ranking in the search engines and some good links to your site.\n\nSearch engines use a complicated algorithm to determine which sites are placed where in the rankings (the results returned by a search engine) and these algorithms are a closely guarded secret.\n\nThere are various articles on the net to do with 'Search Engine Optimization' (or SEO) but I ignore all of them and do things my way - this seems to work as every site I've created ranks within the top 6 on Google even when there's up to 40 million other results found.  A site I created just a few days ago is already ranked number 1 by Yahoo (the only major search engine to have indexed the site so far).\n\nThese are some of my tips...\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A GOOD TITLE --\nOne of the key things a search engine looks at is the title of the page. When you're giving the page a title use the same words that people are likely to key in when using a search engine.  For example, if you're going to create a page about space travel then a title such as "Space Travel - Be a Shuttle Rocket Tourist and Journey to the Moon" would be far better than "All about flying to the moon and back" because the first phrase includes many keywords that people are likely to use in a search engine such as space, travel, shuttle, rocket, tourist, journey and moon.\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A RELEVANT NAME --\nSearch engines also look at page names.  If your domain was mydomain.com then a page name luch as mydomain.com/space-travel will do much better than mydomain.com/section1/part2/page3.\n\n-- USE THE DESCRIPTION TAG --\nSome search engines supoort this tag - others don't.  Google is one of those that does.  What it means is that the details of the site that users see when your site shows up in the search results are the details yopu want them to see and not random snippets from the page.\n\nFor example.  Compare a Yahoo search for 'Black Eyed Peas' to a Google Search.  Both of them find blackeyedpeas.com but Yahoo describe it as "... Multi-platinum 2-time Grammy-winners The Black Eyed Peas cross an historic threshold as their hit ... The Black Eyed Peas, Sergio Mendes, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and others ..." whereas Google uses the description tag and describes it as "Official site includes videos, message boards, tour dates, and photo gallery. Additional content is available to members."\n\n-- PUT A HEADING ON YOUR PAGE --\nThe heading should closely match the page title.  You need to format the heading as a Heading Style and not simply use bold and underlined text.\n\n-- REPEAT THE KEYWORDS FREQUENTLY --\nYou need to include in the text of your page several instances of the different keywords people may key in when using a search engine.  Using the space travel example your page should include words such as space, travel, fly, moon, space-tourist and so on with each of these words repeated several times.\n\nAt the same time don't overdo it - if you keep repeating the same thing ove and over and over again the search engines don't like it.\n\n-- USE OF THE KEYWORD TAG --\nThis is something that's falling out of favour with search engines and in my experience could be detrimental to page ranking.  Keywords are added to the page itself but aren't visible to people browsing the page.  This was a useful 'tag' for ensuring your page contained varients of words, particularly those that are often mis-spelled (e.g. Britney, Britany, Brittany, Spears, Spiers etc).  Personally I don't use keywords any more.\n\n-- DON'T TRY TO 'CHEAT THE SYSTEM' --\nSome web pages hide text by printing white text on a white background for example.  Often such text has nothing at all to do with the site but is just a list of popular words and phrases.  The hope is that som

Word of mouth is your best bet. Also, you can find in yahoo and google and such a way to put your site into their search engine. This takes some time because they send these page crawlers through your site to a) check if it is legal and b) look for key words that will cause your site to load when someone is searching for something.

Optimize your page's content and incoming links so that they contain the keywords you are targetting. Example: if you are trying to get traffic from people searching for "Xbox tips and cheats" then try to get other (it's best if they are related to your topic) websites to link to you using variations on that text. Also make sure that your content has plenty of the words that you want searchers to find, in different styles, such as bold, headings, and lots of variations of the keywords.\n\nBe careful not to make your pages look spammy however; You want to provide quality content above all else, and that's usually what search engines love best.

You'd need to enter the keywords throughout the site and you can also enter the keyword into the html coding for search engines to pick it up \n\nlike the following\n\n<HEAD>\n\n<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="your keywords,go here,separated by a comma,but not a space">\n</HEAD>

You can promote your website very fast, but the results are not often fast. Search engines will sometimes take months to list your site. \n\nGetting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it's easier said than done.\n\nYou can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com\n\nHere are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\nRecommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nBig Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml \nCGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nHostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. \n\nhttp://www.prleap.com/sign_up.html\nhttp://i-newswire.com/\nhttp://www.24-7pressrelease.com/\nhttp://www.pressbox.co.uk/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi\nhttp://www.pr.com/press-releases\nhttp://www.prfree.com/\nhttp://www.clickpress.com/releases/index.shtml\nhttp://www.theopenpress.com/\nhttp://www.przoom.com/\nhttp://www.prweb.com\nhttp://www.newswiretoday.com/\nhttp://www.free-press-release.com/\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\nHere is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481\n\n6. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:\n\nCraigslist http://www.craigslist.com\nGoogle Base http://base.googl

It would really depend on how much access you have to the website.  To add keywords, content, descriptions, change titles, etc., you'd need access to the code of each webpage and you'll have to alter the code in an editor, such as Microsoft Frontpage, or Macromedia Dreamweaver.  Adding keywords and other meta tags to each page is pretty easy and can be done with a minimal time investment.\n\nHowever, just adding keywords isn't going to dramatically improve your search engine results.  For that, you'll need to start getting links into and out of your site.\n\nReciprocal links are links that you exchange with a site, meaning you link to a site and they link to you.  These can help you, but reciprocal links are being discounted by Google and other search engines in favor of one way links.\n\nOne way links are definitely preferable to reciprocals.  Outgoing links where you link to another site are good, because the search engines can guage more of what your site is about by analying the links you have that point to other sites.  But be careful about just dumping a bunch of links into a "Links" page with no content or context for the outgoing links.  Build meaningful content around your links, and they will be more important.\n\nAnother point about outgoing links is that you shouldn't worry about "If someone clicks on a link, they'll leave my site."  This is not something to worry about.  You can have links open in new pages, for one.  But mainly, if someone is going to leave your site, they'll do it with or without a link on your page.  At least a link on your page may allow the visitor to return later, rather than them Xing out of their browser.\n\nIncoming one way links are also important, but the same principles apply.  Don't pay for 100's or 1,000's of incoming links from "link farms," or sites that just post links.  You may want to submit your site to any number of free or paid directories that let you include content about your site, and place your site among hundreds of other relevant sites.\n\nThere are tons of ways to make your site more visible.  Just focus on contributing to the web in meaningful ways.  Blogs, forum posts, article submission sites, press release sites, etc., etc., etc. will all help.\n\nPlus, hopefully you haven't overlooked the basic fundamentals, I hope: submitting to the major directories and search engines, like Google, Yahoo!, the Open Directory Project, etc.\n\nWe've done this before and have doubled our visibility in a few weeks, and continue to contribute to the web in ways we feel are meaningful.  It takes some time in the beginning to get going, but the maintenance once you are set up is minimal and interesting.  You have the chance to learn and grow by your contributions.\n\nGood luck, have fun,\n\nForeclosureFish\nhttp://www.foreclosurefish.com

The best thing I can recommend is Google Adwords. They let you advertise your website alongside search results of relevant terms relating to your website.\n\nStarting is easy and you have to pay $5 to register. Even this money you can use for paying for your ads.\nYou are charged only when someone clicks to your website. The amount you pay per click is also determined by you and can be as less a 1 cent.\n\nTry http://adwords.google.com

There are some ways:\n\n1. Post in forums. If your site is about link exchange, search for link exchange forums in Google, get a forum account and post actively there. Include your signature with a link to your site.\n\n2. Submit your site to Google Sitemap. This way, Google will crawl your site faster increasing your chances of appearing on Google Search Engines.\n\n3. Join TrafficSwarm to get some traffic by reading other people's website first. In return, they will go to your site. Check out http://www.wanginternet.com/traffic\n\nFor various ways to make some money from your website, see http://www.wanginternet.com

Use meta tags in your webpages. Submit your URL to each individual search engine. Find free directories on the internet. Exchange links with websites that have similar content to yours, or that get the same target visitors that youd like to come to your website. Make business cards with your web address. \nYou could try to optimize your website for search engines. I used this site http://www.searchbliss.com/seo-tools/default.htm\nI did all of these things and I get a good amount of traffic to my website, and my traffic has been increasing month to month. All of them were free except for the business cards.
