In this article we’ll try to shed some light on the ten most effective ways you can attract quality visitors to your website. Most of these you can actually do on your own but be patient. You’ll need to carefully track your progress over a period of several months to really gauge your effectiveness. This article will show you the top three easy ways to get your site on the right Search Engine Optimization track.
1. Submit your website to the search engines
The first thing you should do is to submit your website to all the major search engines. This lets them know that you are out there with a brand new website or blog and they should start visiting and indexing your pages. Here is a good place to start Submit to Google - Submit to Yahoo - Submit to MSN
2. Networking on Social Sites
Just like in the real world, networking with colleagues can be done online on social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Plaxo. Begin promoting yourself and your company in a positive way without too much emphasis on a sales approach to your product or service. Sales pitches on these sites will turn people off to you and you will lose credibility.
Take the time to setup your profile correctly with all the information you can add to it. Use a good photo, as people like to see a face with a name and start a group around your product offering, with the intent to educate people in some way about what you do.
3. Forums
Posting in forums gets your words out there and in front of a very targeted audience. It’s a great way to easily engage people with topics that important to you and your business. Use forums to solicit opinions and expect to get them. People who are active forum posters will be happy to provide their opinions or advice on your topics.
