The Traffic Secret

Spending your days clicking to get traffic? Getting traffic that's not targeted? Getting no results from your traffic? There is an answer.

There is a way to set up your site so you get highly targeted traffic.

The first thing you need to do is to get your site listed at all the search engines. You need to go to each one and hand-submit your site. There is software out there that will do submissions, but you must be careful. Each search engine has its own rules and (here's the kicker) they change often! So even if the software you use today works, it might not work tomorrow, and your site should be submitted MONTHLY. The first time you submit, expect anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks before you get listed, IF you get listed. Getting listed depends on your site being set up properly and your doing the submission following that particular search engine's rules.

You also need to be sure your meta tags on your site pages are optimized. Meta tags are the one area I have noticed that is the most neglected and also the most important as far as search engines go. You need keywords that are relevant to your page. I have seen many sites with 40, 50 or more keywords on their pages. This will without a doubt get you banned at the search engines. It is known as spamming the search engines and is not allowed. I also see sites that have no meta tags. Without them, you won't get listed at all. If you don't know how to do meta tags, you should get a reputable business who handles that to do it for you. Don't necessarily go for the lowest price - this is time-consuming work and needs to be done by someone who specializes in it and knows what he/she is doing.

After you get your pages done properly and submitted to the search engines, you need to go to the pay-per-click engines and set yourself up at each one. You will need to deposit money at each one and bid on keywords that are relevant to your site. You also need to check each one preferably every day to see how much you are spending and where you rank for your keywords.

The traffic you get from the search engines and the pay-per-click search engines is highly targeted traffic. With consistent "tweaking", you can do very well online using just these two methods. It is time-consuming and requires knowledge of what you are doing, but if done properly, you will see great rewards.
