It took me way too much time to figure out the secret too google. I was wondering why is my site never listed on Google, Yahoo, or MSN? Have you ever thought the same thing? I am sure you have. There is so much garbage out there stating they have the "Secret" to search engine optimizations. How many seo programs
have you already downloaded?

The first seo program I used focused greatly on keyword density. It insisted that I add words in many places, anchor links, picture links, etc... Does this sound familiar? Well, I am not here to say that it is not important, but I am definitely here to state, that it is not THAT important. What I mean is that if you want to increase web traffic, keyword density is not the answer.

Generating free web site traffic is not as hard as you might think There is no special "secret weapon" out there that will put you at the top, so if you hear there is, you are being mislead. I said there is no "secret weapon" there are still secrets that need to be followed however.

For those of you who are absolutely newbies, I will let you know some secrets I found out the hard way. Search engines rank pages based on many things. One very important thing is how many websites are linking back to you. There are two types of links search engine look at, reciprocal links and one-way links.

Reciprocal links are links that are exchanged between two or more sites. For example, you create your website and you want to spread the word...what do you do next? Did you say exchange links? If so, you are correct. There are many hints to exchanging links and ways to make it very easy which I will explain at a later time.

One-way links are another form of link exchanges. Search engines typically rate one-way links greater than reciprocal. Their reasoning is if you have something someone else wants, then it must be something they should know about too. Therefore, you will get a higher page rank. I hope you are following me so far.

Everyone knows about submitting to web directories. If you do not, then I am enlightening you. Back on track with the web directories. Directories are a very easy way to get one-way links. The catch with directories is it takes a lot of time and money to submit to them all. Most people give up and don't submit to directories. This is a very ignorant thing to do. You want to generate traffic, so submit to directories, later I can show you how to do it really cheap and easy!

One key thing I did not mention is relevance. It is crucial that your website be very relevant to the subject on hand. What I mean is that you would not want a title of your site being Music Studio, and actually be talking about generating web traffic. How much sense would that make? Make sure whatever you say you have on your site, you actually have. This is called content and it is also very important. It would be too hard to go into too much detail about being relevant, but this should be common sense.

Let's change courses here and talk about keywords. I have been to so many sites and viewed their source to find little or no keywords. It is amazing they are not found in the search engines very high at all. Instead, they are only found thru self submitted directories where I find them by pure luck. How good of advertising is that? Not very! What I am offering you here is the key to unlock your advertising potential and the web traffic you bring in will be absolutely free for you and it will be targeted. Do you know what that means? Targeted web traffic means visitors are looking specifically for what you offer therefore you will be making a lot more money on conversions. It is truly wonderful!

Keywords tend to be overlooked by a lot of webmasters. They would rather spend more time getting their site listed than actually research their niche and find what will bring the heavy traffic. This is a sad mistake that I will teach you how to correct. I can teach you how to be a big fish in a bigger pond. That's right, you will be a internet marketing guru and will never have to spend another dime on adwords or any form of internet advertising. It is truly greatness!

I have not given everything away as it is really impossible to do so in such a short article, but I hope you got a few pointer. Remember I told you I would tell you later on about how to get really awesome link exchanges quickly and easily as well as link directories? Well, that is something you can find out below. I look forward to seeing you on the front page of Google tomorrow!
