In general, if you purchase a site, you will purchase it because it generates a lot of traffic, but does a poor job of making sales or displaying ads. It’s monetization that you should focus on, but in fact, it definitely doesn’t hurt to tweak the SEO at the same time, too.

In this section, we’ll discuss some inexpensive and permanent ways in which you can increase the amount of traffic your site receives without wasting too much time in the process.

Linking Campaigns

One of the most essential components of any SEO campaign is a linking strategy. When it comes to getting inbound links, there are few strategies that have proven to be winners in the long run. We’ll consider each of these below:

Submit Your Site to Directories

One way to get free, inbound links is to submit your site to directories. Directories are websites that list other websites according to some system of organization (usually by the category of the content). There are literally hundreds of directories that will allow you to do this for free-and dozens that charge a fee (which may or may not be worth it).

The following site offers a list of the better directories, including with the site saturation and whether or not they are free to list your site in: http: //www.strongestlinks(dot)com.

I personally suggest that you work through the sites on that list according to saturation. When creating directory listings, there are three things to take into consideration:

1. The text directly surrounding your link matters. For this reason, you should try to use keywords that are relevant to your site in the description that will be directly below the link.

2. Using a boilerplate site description will save you time with the submissions, but may ultimately work against you. Since search engines will see this piece of boilerplate (along with the link) as duplicate content, they may only count one inbound link, rather than each of the separate inbound links.

3. In addition to making your site description search engine friendly, you should also try to make it human-friendly. If it isn’t human-friendly, you could miss out on a lot of direct, click-through traffic from directories.

After you complete this task, it’s time to move on to the next strategy for optimizing your site for search engine traffic.

One good thing about search engine traffic is that it is free. Although building a high page ranked website takes time but it is attainable. As a matter of facts, I have built 5 different websites in the past 6 months and they all receive about 6,000 hits respectively from search engine. If you are desperate for search engine traffic, follow these steps:

* Avoid flash pages. This slows down your load time as well as your crawl rate. Whenever Google search robot visits your website and finds it difficult to extract your keywords, it will instantly leave your head section for another website and it will never come back to your website until the right things have been done. If you are into internet marketing and wants to make money off your visitors, avoid flash pages. Use macro media fire works instead to create your buttons.

* Avoid using much keyword. You cannot play smart on search engines. They are as smart as you are. What internet marketers normally do is to jam-pack their Meta keywords section with over 100 search terms – this is unfriendly to search engines. When setting your keywords, 10 to 40 interwoven keywords separated by comma are enough? This will allow for easy indexing and definitely a high page rank.

* Insert keywords on your images. Instead of leaving your images to their fate, why not insert some keywords on them. Doing so will help your visitors recognize an image until it loads with the name given to it. Also, the helps your page ranks on Google search engine. Sometimes, your images may get indexed faster because of the alternative-keywords you used. Remember, an indexed and high page ranked web page image will definitely affect your whole website.

More useful information can be found online if you do a thorough study on them. But for now, practice what I have just shared with you. Your website counts!
