How do you / can you get more traffic to your website?

Well there are 2 ways you can promote your website via search engines such as Google and Yahoo:

1) By Advertising on the mentioned websites (you pay according to the number of clicks your ad got)
2) By increasing your SEO using certain strategies that I will list below.

Tips to increase your SEO:

1- Write a Keyword-Rich Page Title: Write a descriptive title for each page using 5 to 8 words. Remove as many “filler” words from the title (such as “the,” “and,” etc.) as possible, while still making it readable. This page title will appear hyperlinked on the search engines when a page is found.

2- Include Your Keywords in Headers (H1, H2, H3): Search engines consider keywords that appear in the page headline and sub heads to be important to the page, so the desired keywords and phrases need to appear in one or two header tags.

3- Position Your Keywords in the First Paragraph of Your Body Text: Search engines expect that your first paragraph will contain the important keywords for the document — where most people write an introduction to the content of the page.

4- Make Your Navigation System Search Engine Friendly. Search engine robots need to find all the pages in a site. JavaScript and Flash navigation menus cannot be read by search engines for instance. Therefore, regular HTML links at the bottom of the page can be used instead.

5- Create a Sitemap: A sitemap page with links to all web pages can help search engines (and visitors) to find all the pages, particularly if it is a large site. After creating a sitemap, it should be uploaded to your website and then submitted to Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, following the instructions on their sites.

6- Take each competitor site and have a look at its backlinks: A backlink is a link coming from another website to your own. The number and quality of backlinks that your site has can affect the SEO efforts, as some search engines provide significant weight to the backlinks of a site.


Also Note for the future: WebPosition can be used; it allows you to check your current ranking and compare your webpages against top keyword competitors. In addition, Google WebMaster Central can be used; it has lots of tools that can help achieve a higher website ranking.
