The best way to get free traffic to your website is by getting to the top of the search engines. Getting to the top of the search engines can be difficult and takes a lot of time, but it will pay off in lots of free and generally long term traffic.

There are a number of traditionally accepted ways of getting your website to the top of search engines. Here are a few of the traditional methods:

Use a descriptive title for each page of your website. The first words in the title should be the ones you expect customers to search for the most. The title will be highlighted in the search engines, and you want people to see what interests them.

Placing keywords in the right places helps in getting to the top of the search engines. Search engines look for important keywords in the headlines, subheads, and first paragraph. While you should make the first paragraph as keyword rich as you can, don't sacrifice content to do this.

Search engines view hyperlinks as important, so use important keywords in hyperlinks. This works especially well when the name of the page you hyperlink to has the same keywords as in your hyperlink.

Write a website consisting of several pages. Each page should concentrate on one keyword or keyword phrase relating to your site.

Submit your site to the major search engines. You can do this by using the "add your URL" link found on the search engine site.

Find sites that complement yours and ask if they will consider reciprocal linking.

However, in my opinion, one of the most powerful ways to get your new or old website increase visibility on the web and to quickly crawl to the top of the search engines is through the submission to article directories of content rich keyword articles.

By promoting your website with keyword articles, you can get the link, or address, to your website circulating the Internet generally very quickly, usually within one or two days, in places where the content is relevant to your website! It’s simple to perform a search for sites that accept articles for free, making sure these sites will offer a live link back to your website.

Choose the sites that accept articles that will be related to your own website. A good place to start is my own article directory Tiger Trade LLC Directory (www.TigerTradeLLCDirectory.com), which offers a chance to submit articles, use their articles as content for your website, and advertise with them; however, you will find many other sites that accept articles. Browse through them and find the ones which accept articles that best relate to the content of your website.

Next, get started writing your articles. Make sure they are rich with keywords that are relevant to not only the topic, but your website as well. Do not worry about writing tons of articles at first you can write one article and submit the same one to several different sites that accept articles. Once you get the hang of it, you can write more articles and branch out with different—yet pertinent—topics. Remember, you can send your articles to various different websites, thus getting use out of each article more than once.

Promoting your website with keyword articles is inexpensive, quick and easy, especially if you enjoy writing. Everyone needs content for their websites, and many people use free content articles just for that purpose. Check into sites that accept articles about topics relevant to your website, write your articles, submit them, and wait for the traffic and sales of your website to increase.
