Hi. I am a web developer and your question has been troubling me also for ages.

First, read my article here: http://stefangabos.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-true-answer-to-how-do-i-attract.html

If you don’t want to read it I’ll make a short version of it here: “there is no way you can quickly attract traffic to your website unless you know some website owners whose websites have huge amounts of traffic and they write about you and/or put a link back to your site on the home page or on any other very visible area of their website.”

You can search the Internet as much as you want and spend countless days looking for the answer. All you will find is about how to make your website more SEO friendly and techniques to get better rankings in pages – subscribe your website to directories, spam on blogs/forums, use viral emailing, link exchange (i listed only some of the techniques that don’t necessary require you to pay money).

But I know that you meant more like “How can I attract traffic now?” not “How can people find me in Google if they search for [your keyword] in two years time”.

I built a website trying to help people like you and me. It’s called 2famous and it’s hosted at http://2famo.us . Create your account and become the one in charge with the Internet marketing and your website promotion and increase your web site traffic now. 2famo.us offers a free and unique Internet marketing service: booking websites on the home page of 2famo.us. Over and over and over again. And of course, everything is cost-free and even ad-free. It’s not the kind of “subscribe and forget” service. But rather it encourages you to actively promote your website on a daily basis by booking it on the home page of 2famo.us.

The website is newly launched (it launched on June 16th, 2008) but it aims to be the one solution to people like you and me who don’t know the people in the staff of digg and we don’t hang out with the guys from techcrunch…

Check it out! And…be famous!

Open a store on ebay, advertise on craigslist, its free (craigslist). Look into getting pop-up advertising for your store on other websites

Larry McCann answers:

Well, I don’t know how much you know to start with… But you do know about back links. Check out http://SeoMoz.org and read the articles there. You should be able to find plenty of good ideas.

Another site you might want to take a look at is http://www.seofaststart.com It is Dan Thies website, where you can download his book and read his blog.

Larry McCann answers:

Getting higher rankings in the search engines is a very complex business. You might want to go through the Search Engine Submission Tips linked to in the sources section…

Http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/…

OR..
Well its been said as…they take your websites as on wht you have on keywords plus description (which together is being called Meta tags
but wait a min! It’s been a technique that search engines used in past like 3-5 years ago now they largely depends on number of impotant link of other websites do you have on your website.

*Dang!! Good news is Google now has a service called Google Sitemaps. With that you can get listed in Google under 3 days.

There are few points tht i wld like to reveal …

1- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is not about fooling search engines to raise your site ranking
2- I highly suggest that you seek help from a professional SEO expert since it is not an easy task to get top rankings on reputable search engines including Google, Yahoo.. Etc
3- The SEO professional will follow the right methodology and clear strategy to build your site profile over time (usually 3 to 6 months is a fair time frame)
4- If you try to trick search engines you’ll most likely get a penalty that will result in your site being removed from results or at the best pushed down dramatically.
5- META tags are not as important as they once where
6- You can still submit your site for free to all Search Engines you mentioned above but with no guarantee to when or if they will appear in searches.
7- Usually it could take around 1 month for your site to start appearing on such engines.
*8- Don’t use automatic software that promises the sky or particularly generate fake doorway pages because you’ll definitely get a penalty.
**9- You need to write good, grammatically correct, and useful content
10- Check this link for information on how to submit your site to Google http://www.google.com/support/webmasters…
11- Submitting to directories is also very useful and compliments your ranking as in most cases you choose the subtopics to be listed under.

And i have friend in Detroit software bussiness he wrote few articles and there is link where you can download tht free ebook
i had mentioned those links under tht source…

Have a nice day!!

Really a powerful method in getting audience. Write a good article based on your niche topic and submit it in article directories. Just go to google or yahoo and search for “free article directories”. It will suggest you a host of directories that you can easily submit your writings. When people surf in that certain directory, they might stumble into your article and you got all the fame needed to be successful in Internet Marketing.

2)Blogging
This method is just like the article writing. You write what you want but good contents for your audience in blogs. The better you got, the more audience you get. You can also submit the same contents that you wrote in blogs in article directories. You get instant viewers if your article is in top 10 within your niche

3)Offer free stuffs

A blog is a type of web site. Yes, I have one. However, I don’t make money from it, as it’s not allowed on Yahoo.

However, increasing traffic is not going to be fast and easy. It will take time and extra effort, as will making sure that your content is well-developed. Also, a domain called “paidtoblog” might deter people from visiting. People typically don’t visit blogs because they want to help the blogger get paid. They visit because the content provided benefits them in some way (i.e. Knowledge, relationship connecting, advice, and etc.).

Major ways to promote your blog include RSS feeds, search engine optimization (SEO), social networks, partnerships and community building. Also, popularity is not just measured in total number of unique page hits. You should look for ways to retain readership, beyond a one-time visit.
