Step 6: Increasing your traffic

Now, when you have a website ready, you have an adsense account and you have ads running on your website congratulations!!! You have won half battle. Now all you need to do is publicity of your website and drag as much as you can user to your website. This is most important part as these visitors are one, which will click your ads and ultimately earn money for you.

There are several things that you can do to increase traffic to your website. Try not get involved in false practices as paying someone to visit your site or any such thing. As these things will not give you long term results. If you want to get long term returns from your site, than try to be honest with this program and have patience.

You can pay for services to help you with this, but you don't have too. Everything is 100% free if you are ready to do a bit of search and use your mind. I have provided some excellent links to free submission sites to help.

First and foremost submit to google, yahoo and bing (or any search engine that comes yor way). I will explain this in further steps.

Submitting your URLs and RSS Feeds
You need to submit your site EVERYWHERE. There are some sites which can provide you what we say “MOTHER LIST”, a list having a lot of sites to submit your site.I have a link to one such mother link. This guy will submit for you at a cost, but all the sites are listed so you can manually do it yourself. There are over 900 of them, so it will be time consuming. I am starting with doing 10 a day, and working from there until I get through the list. You will find it under my links.

I have also included another great site with lists of places to submit your RSS feed, and RSS stands for really simple submission. It is labeled the RSS LINK LIST. There is also a huge list on that site specifically for submitting blogs.

When you are submitting your sites, be sure to submit them to the most relevant topic that your web page is about, and don’t just submit it to the top. Reason being that for one thing, you want people who are actually interested in your topic to find your site, and two, it just wastes yours and everyone else's time if its submitted in the wrong category. It will likely get on the search engines faster if you take the time to add it to the right category.

Be patient. It takes time for everything to get added and indexed. Don't expect to have 1000 unique visitors to your site right away. Also, you don't want your site to end up in the sandbox, which I will get into in another post. Just submit to 10-20 places a day, being sure to change your title and description wording slightly so you don't look like a spammer. It will take time to build your backlinks, and its better if you allow this to be a natural process rather then buying links, or traffic as this will risk you to get booted. Pinging your site, which basically lets those search engines know you have new content on your site, and sends a signal for the sites to crawl your site and find the new content. I have included a great pinging site, that once you enter your URL, you just visit and it will ping all 30 something sites for you.

Social Networking
Submitting your site is not enough. Plus, it takes time for all those places to get your information on their search engines. The best most effective way of getting it out there fast is joining forums, groups, sites, of people who are interested in the topic of your website. If you have put effort into you work, you should get allot of visitors. Also, you will learn more, the more you get out there. Don't just join sites and post your link, if you want good traffic, you will have to take the time to participate in the forums, and not be a spammer.

I have found a few very helpful Webmaster forums. Please remember, if you join these forums, allot of these people have put a ton of time and effort into their sites, education about the program, and will not help someone who is just looking for a free hand out of their valuable secrets in this industry. Participate in the forums, give feedback to others. READ AND LEARN! My favorite so far is DIGITAL POINT and BLOG ENGAGE I am a member of others, but haven't spent enough time on them yet to see how good they are. As I learn more about which forums are most helpful, I will add.

Search Engine Optimization
Please see my link Tools for reference. I have some very informative SEO links.

Use the tools provided to check your site. Many of them will show errors on your page that search engines will have trouble with, if your keywords are visible, or if you could add more. The first time I ran a tool I found out my keywords were not visible, so I fixed it, ran the test again, and found I could add way more keywords then I had. These tools help you fine tune your website so the search engines have an easier time finding and indexing your site. ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED CAN BE FOUND AND USED FREE. There are sites out there that will charge a fee, but be aware, that all the tools you need are out there for free.
