Driving Traffic to my Site ? - 1/9/2006 0:02:52
Hello what is the best way to increase traffic
to my site, so far I haven't submitted my site yet, I just want some ideas first and suggestions to increase traffic to my site. Is pay per click a good idea. Is there anything else I can do besides meta tags and keywords and submitting to a site and just to wait. I heard that "links back to my site" are a good way to get noticed but what is the best way to get a link on some one else's site that will send them to my site? thanks

thanks, if we do have to exchange links, wouldn't it be better to put a "text based hyperlink" rather than a "graphic logo hyperlink" I really don't want to slow down my website, if I start to put a lot of graphic links on my site back to other websites. What do you think ?
thanks, su

Yes, use text based links. I would vary the text from category/section to category/section so it will give more weight to the other site.
Take car,
Brian

It's also not necessary to only seek links from sites with the same subject as your site. A well crafted page that relates to your subject (with direct links to one or two pages on your site) on a totally unrelated site works wonders.

I've been advised by some to link with only sites that have the same/related subject as mine. Mojo, if I understand you correctly, you seem to be indicating something quite opposed to what I've been told. I have enormous respect for you insights and suggestions. Why am I hearing two apparently opposing positions?
Also, what's your definition of "a well crafted paged?"

Why am I hearing two apparently opposing positions?
Because the Internet is becoming about conversations. Because some people (usually *not* SEO experts) are taking the citation criteria of search algos too literal. Sites should strive to be natural - even though SEO is an unnatural act upon their site. If links had zero impact upon your site would you link differently? I think most of us would. How often do you find something interesting, but it's located on geocities or some other less than desirable location so you just bookmark it for your personal reference? Search algos are getting very good at identifying link networks and unnatural linking schemes. Don't we read all the time where a web owner is complaining about why his/her site isn't ranking better? They observe that the sites above them look spammy (in their eyes) with links coming from all over the place where they have fewer links, but their 'much better quality'. DigitalGhost once wrote, "All of my decisions require conversations to build my trust. Without that trust, I can’t make a decision."
Often, trusted sites talk about a variety of topics loosely related to their overall category. As long as the page they are linking to can be of interest to their viewers - they're not afraid to link. If it can add value it's worth linking to and the search engines eat it up. Google strives to not be evil, Christians are taught to avoid the appearance of evil (1 Thes. 5:22) and if we want to help our sites rank well we should avoid looking evil and link to and receive links from well crafted articles.
Here is why a site on digital cameras would want to link to a breast feeding site...
You're writing a nice article about uploading your pictures to image sharing sites on the web. The conversation naturally flows to multiple articles dealing with starting your own web site. You go over the various tools that can be used and mention that understanding Internet workings is becoming so important that the La Leche League even had a speaker (Mr. Stoll) who went over working the Internet/computers into our childrens lives. When you first had your first child there wasn't the resources available to help like today. Breast feeding, for example, is much easier for today's Mother's who have easy access to quality breast feeding material that wasn't available a few years ago.
The entire article mentioning Mr Stoll and breastfeeding sites would be a stand alone article that was off to the side of the flow of the main article - example: you link to your next article about beginning web development and ~20 spaces to the left is the link titled 'Mother's: Internet helps increase rate of breastfeeding'
quote:
Also, what's your definition of "a well crafted paged?"
A more fleshed out version of my example above would be a well crafted page for linking purposes. Hold conversations that are natural, link to well crafted pages regardless of the category of the web site and reap the rewards. It should be easy to do especially if you learn how to write as a male or female and have multiple personalities.
Why would an article on Driving Internet Traffic link to the Bible?

I would also like feedback from anyone who has had a great deal of success with the Adsense program. I have heard so many different viewpoints on this matter.
If you would kindly look at my site, kooldownloads.com and let me know what I can do to improve the CTR of my Adsense banners. The site is less than 6 months old however I thought that by now i would have seen more traffic and a higher CTR.
I had designed this site to generate income primarily with the Adsense program. I plan on updating the content on a monthly basis. What can I do to fully maximize my site. I would like to generate at least $10000 per month from Adsense.

to be honest, your site looks amateurish and doesnt have much original content. what it does has is links and ads, something millions of other sites have but the non professional appearance doesnt inspire confidence may be causing people to leave.

Not trying to be sarcastic but you may want to reel in your expectations a little. AT least for the first few months.
