[Wildnettechnologies]

1) Blog Commenting

Comment on a popular blog or website related to your niche. Use a thought provoking question to draw attention and get some conversation started. Use keywords in your comment and you may drive some good traffic.

2) Article Commenting

Go to article directories and search an article related to your website or product. Pick a famous article site and leave a comment under one of the articles. Popular articles will get many views and with your link at the bottom, you can drive some visitors to your own website.

3) Social Bookmarking Sites

Use social bookmarking websites like digg or twitter. When you post new content on your website, be sure to send the links to popular social bookmarking sites.

4) Article Submission

Gather a list of article submission sites that rank high on the Google search engine. Submit your articles to these sites with your link at the bottom. High ranking article sites are prone to get listed on the search engines and you can get a lot of traffic through high page rank.

5) Mailing List

Create a mailing list from your most beloved fans. As long as people choose to receive mail, you can probably get away with a lot of consistent traffic to your website. A great way to remind your followers of new content!

6) Forums In Your Niche

Participate in a forum related to your site and add a signature link to your website. This is a surefire way of getting traffic to your website.

7) Free Advertising Forums

There are many free advertising forums that you can post on to spread the word of your website or product. Join these forums and get more traffic to your website through this free advertising method

Exchange Links

Exchange links with a popular website that is related to your very own. This is a great way to get traffic from other websites that are bringing in many viewers.

9) Advertisements

Use advertisements such as adsense or pay famous websites related to your niche to post ads on their sites for a set fee.

10) Submit Your Website To Search Engines

Submit your website url to famous search engines like Google and Yahoo. This will enter your website to result on search engine pages for the keywords you choose.

11) Post Content At Regular Intervels

Google loves to give people the latest updates for what they are searching for. Post at regular intervals and the web crawlers will see you post regularly. This will automatically get you better SEO and you will drive more traffic to your website.

12) Quality Content

You should've include PPC and SMM. Both can really boost your traffic. Anyway it was a really helpful article.

10) Submit Your Website To Search Engines

Not keen on this approach - I prefer letting Google/Yahoo etc find me. If they cannot then it's obvious there are errors that need fixing!

I would also add to keep yourself updated on all the latest seo knowledge, for example 12 & 13 are especially important in light of googles recent changes

Since you said that, I remembered one of the famous SEOs in the industry said in his eBook that if you don't mind waiting for 6 month (I think) for your site to be crawled then use it.

We add and update new sites to our index each time we crawl the web, and we invite you to submit your URL here. We do not add all submitted URLs to our index, and we cannot make any predictions or guarantees about when or if they will appear.

Please enter your full URL, including the http:// prefix. For example: http://www.google.com/. You may also add comments or keywords that describe the content of your page. These are used only for our information and do not affect how your page is indexed or used by Google.

Please note: Only the top-level page from a host is necessary; you do not need to submit each individual page. Our crawler, Googlebot, will be able to find the rest. Google updates its index on a regular basis, so updated or outdated link submissions are not necessary. Dead links will 'fade out' of our index on our next crawl when we update our entire index.

Each to their own - but if I can't get my website into Google within 6 months then I should be working in a different industry

Plus, if you're only getting into Google because you've submitted your site, I am going to assume you're not going to rank very well!

you covered everything, thanks for sharing

Submitting your site directly to Search Engine might be harmful to the site itself. Organic SEO (stated above except #10) still reigns on the top if you want a better ranking for your website!

Posters who post for the sake of posting (you know who you are), use the Thanks link...But that wouldn't get you another sig link, would it

I just realized the original post was stolen word-for-word from Webmaster World.

This thread will be closed or archived later today since the content does NOT belong here since it was copied from elsewhere.

Wildnet I do believe that you have been warned previously but I will verify this.

Baccarat, he is certainly NOT an expert but clearly is a spammer and is only at the GPWA for sig links.
