How To Increase traffic and get a better rank on Google

By Tony Farrell (c) Copyright 2004

You have a business you want to promote. You’re looking
for more traffic to your web site. But, how do you get
that traffic and how do you get it for nothing?

Here’s a technique I use to increase web site traffic and
get a better rank on Google. But, you need your own web site
first. This won’t work for your otherwise.

Having said that, even if you don’t own a web site you
should follow some of the steps here. The reason will become
very clear nearer the end of this email.

What you are doing is researching for sites with a Google
page rank of at least 4 and upwards that are relevant to the
content of your site. Then link with them and have them link
back to you.

To do this set up another page on your site for the purpose
of including good quality links from other relevant sites.

Here's how to do it...

1. Download Alexa Toolbar and install it on your computer.

2. Download Goole Toolbar and install it on your computer.

3. Create a "Spreadsheet" using "Excel" and create a colum
for each of the following...

URL, Contact Email, Owner's Name, Alexa Link Popularity,
Google Rank, Contact 1, Contact 2, Contact 3, Link Accepted.

4. Go to Google Search Engine and key in a relevant keyword
to your niche site.

5. When the results come up, go to each site (including the
Google Ads that may come along with it)

6. Upon arriving at each site the first thing to check for
is the Alexa Traffic Rank that shows up on your Alexa
Toolbar. Aim for a traffic rank of 100,000 or less. Anything
more than 100,000 leave the site and look for another one.

7. Next, look for the Google Page Rank. Aim for a PR (Page
Rank) of "4" or more. Less than this leave the site and look
for another one.

8. If you are happy with the Page Rank on Google and the
Traffic Rank on Alexa, then place all relevant details on
the spreadsheet you've created. Then move onto the next
site.

9. Do this until you are satisfied with the number of
possible contacts. You probably should aim to get 5 - 10
sites a day. Keep this up until you have reached the desired
number of links you want on your page.

10. Set up a page on your own site and call it something
like "Partner Links".

11. Now you need to put a link to their site from your niche
mini site. Grab a bit of text from their site and place it
in your "Partner Links" page. Then turn that text into a
link to their site.

12. Email each web site owner letting the know who you are
and that you placed a link to their site from your site.
Then request that they link back to you. If they don't then
just take their link down.

13. When you contact the web site owner, just place the date
of contact on you spreadsheet under the colum "Contact 1".
Any other contacts should be placed on the other "Contact"
colums.

14. Whether a link has been accepted or not, just place a
"Y" (for YES) or a "N" (for NO) in the colum entitled "Link
Accepted".

That's it. I have done this for my site and am starting to
see an better rank on Alexa and beginning to increase my
PR rank on Google.

The thing with this method of getting a better rank on
Google is that it's very time consuming and requires
persistence on a daily basis. But it will work. Also, don't
expect a positive response from every web site owner. Most
likely you'll get more rejections than acceptances. Just
carry on regardless.

The other thing is that you should ensure that you look for
a Traffic Ranking of 100,000 or less on Alexa. This means
that you are looking for high traffic web sites. This means
a better chance of people clicking on your site. It only
makes sense.

Also, you don't need millions of links from just any site to
gain a better rank in Google. You need good quality links
and this is a good method to do this. That's why I suggest
looking for sites that have a Google PR rank of "4" or
higher.

Remember I said that even if you don’t have a web site you
should follow some of the steps here? Well here’s why...

The sites that have accepted your links are your future
"Potential JV Partners". They're your number one contact
names for Joint Ventures. They're the first people you
contact with your offers for their customers and
subscribers.

As you've done the research, don't just let all that work
just sit there once you've created your link exchanges.
You've just started a relationship with those people and you
should make use of that opportunity. Even contact those who
have not accepted a link to your site. Treat them as
secondary contacts for Joint Venture purposes.

Just get crackin’ on this immediately.
