Okay, you have your website and now you want more visitors. Don’t think you’re the only one, bub, but you can learn from the experience of others. Subscribing to web directories is one solution that the ICMediaDirect.com Consulting Division both recommends and executes for clients in order to increase traffic. Like any SEO task, its effort – and smart effort always works best.

1) Traffic. Close to 20% of all traffic comes from web directories. That’s either quite a heap to tap into or a massive chunk to disregard. Simply put, the choice is up to you – there are fishes in the water, do you want to cast out your lines or not? If so, let’s hit the web directories.

2) Get Linked. Search engines include link popularity in their rankings. Using web directories enmeshes your website into linkage, which increases visitors. This creates better rankings – hence more traffic to your web property.

3) Hyperlinked Keywords. Link popularity develops by incorporating keywords into the hyperlinks. Submissions to web directories should include relevant keywords. It makes your site easier to find and boosts the visibility of said links across the spectrum of search engines. More free traffic.

4) Keyword Optimization. It’s doubly important to mention keyword research as it can help you in more ways than one, so choose carefully. The links created within web directories essentially act as recommendations to search engine algorithms and the search engine will attempt to match your hyperlink keywords with search phrases entered by users. So, by harmonizing your keywords to themes related to your website, you will boost visibility.

5) Diversify. Submit to different web directories and find them through search engines. The reason being is that they already have decent standing by virtue of you finding them from the search sites. Play around, get creative, and use key words in combination with topics relevant to your site to find the best web directories. Increase your visibility by hitching on to existing and working directories - if you found it, others will too.

6) Monkey see, monkey do. Mimic your hyperlinks to appear like those seen in Google Adwords. Whatever wordings helps make those ads rank well for Adwords will only help your viability through search, and in turn, web directory ranking. Success begets success.

7) Mind your web directory manners. Treating it like a doormat (by ignoring simple rules to follow, like don’t use too much promotional nomenclature, no foul language, etc) is no good. Play by the rules, or don’t play at all.

8) Web Directory 2.0. Oh yeah! Webmasters are privy to vastly improved web directories with uniform scripts and the functionality of web directories is beginning to improve drastically. A directory can do more with your listing, like displaying logos and basic contact info. The web directory itself has become more pleasing to the eye – and, I should add, for its own good!

Web directories are there for the taking. There is little harm in trying them and with some effort, big rewards may be reaped through increased traffic. What’s more is that web directories (just like this advice column and ICMediaDirect.com’s consulting services for clients) are free. You can’t beat that.

You are online, working your advertising program and you come across
a site which intrigues you, you sign up, bookmark the affiliate link
to a folder and go back to you're main work. With the best of
intentions you mean to get back to that new link, but you never
really do. Why? Because the folder where you bookmarked that link is
already full of achievable websites to add to your workload. And let's
face it, completely those links in that folder look alike, they are
intermingled with completely sorts of different links, etc. You cognize the picture
because you have folders alike that!

I take a new affiliate link and place it into my rotator link and let
it simmer for awhile. A Rotator Link Site advertises many websites
with one link - the rotator link. By placing this one Rotator Link
into an advertising program you able to display many different websites
one after the another (in rotation), getting traffic to a lot of your
websites with one effort. I routinely monitor the different sites I
have in rotation at my Rotator Link Site, so I cognize I will get back
to that new affiliate program. That program is in rotation and
getting many traffic, if it gets many response - sales or downline, I
will definitely pay attention to this affiliate link. On the other
hand, when I get back to this new link with full concentration and
discover that it was more hype then substance. I able to delete and
forget it.

This is one reasons to use your Rotator Link Site as an online
secretary.

Another think to why your Rotator Link Site able to be your online
secretary is the ability to KEEP TRACK of the many affiliate and
personal websites that you have.

You are using a friend's computer and want to share a hot program.
But you can't remember the URL for that particular site. You could do
a search and find it, but you want to give out your affiliate link.
No problem. Go to your Rotator Link Site, log in and go to your list
of URL's. Choose the program link you want to share (and maybe a
couple of others). And, voila, you friend is informed and impressed.
I use this same idea when I want to plug in one of my affiliate links
into an ad or traffic program. Once again completely of my best money making
programs are at my fingertips. A quick trip to my Rotator Link Site,
a copy and paste, and I'm ready for another task.

Use your Rotator Link Site as a repository of your most important
affiliate and website URL's and for new links as you find them. And
if you're not using a Rotator Link Site, check out the link in my
resource box.

SEO 1,2,3 for Dummies

Seo is Search Engine Optimization. A magician's bag of tricks to get your web page on high SERP (Search Engine Rank Placement ) and High PR (Page Rank). SERP is when you search on Google for a keyword (word you are studying) like cats, you get a page of twenty web sites on cats back out of a hundred or thousand pages. SEO is the art of getting your web page to be listed for as numerous keywords pertaining to your site on the first page of hundreds. Since people have short attention spans, they tend not to search ten pages of returns to find your page.

That is the short skinny on the subject. If that answered enough quit reading. Still curious? Below is a more in depth but exclusively basic description. It still is a basic description even if it lacks MTV brevity.

To get high SERP you able to bid on keywords, through Google and other search engines you able to bid on definite keywords. Every time someone clicks on my add in blue at the top and sides of Google pages (These are the auction listings, I will pay anywhere from .5 to $5 every time someone clicks on my site for the keywords I bid on. The one who bids the most gets to be on the first page for cats. The rest of Google is suppose to be based on scholarly research qualifications).

So you need to find a keyword that people actually look for but not numerous people are bidding on. You got to niche your keyword. To find appropriate keywords you check your web logs to see what words people used in search engines to bring you to your site. Also their are on-the-internet tools to use that suggest keywords and give a thesaurus of options along with how numerous times people searched for that keyword last month.

Then we get Page Rank which is based on how numerous people link to you. The higher page rank used to me higher SERP. But search engines update and replace to keep ahead of SEO people. Google's Jager update screwed me up. The Higher PR the higher you able to charge someone to advertise on your page also. 10 is the highest. Now to get links you want people to link to you in the middle of a paragraph near the top of their page with reference to you desired keyword. By the way have you seen the updates to my Life Coaching site (www.docspond.org , but since html is outlawed in this article I display it this way without conventional a href tags)? This would be a better link, Natural linking, instead of a directory of 200 people to a page called mile high links. Natural linking is someone considering you more an expert than just linking by subject as in Mile High. Sometimes the first ten able to get points from robots to get high SERP on mile highs but these pages in general start out with lower wealth. So sites charge you a premium to be listed on a home page or the top of a directory. But you will never get anyone to click on these links, the exclusively importance you get from them is robots.

Robots are programs that scour the web following all the links on your page to each other and all the ones you list to other sites. They check to see you have good code and list your words for their directory so people able to find any phrase you placed on your site. Now links to other sites within three pages of your home page toward the top of each page get better points than any deep in your site or toward the bottom of the page. Also they down score links if their is numerous on a page.

To get your site index by robots you go to search engines and go to the bottom of the page and find a link called submit your URL. there you put your address in and hit return. Anywhere from 3 weeks to four months it could take a robot to find you for the first time. Then it will index you once a month unless in your pages code in meta tags you tell it to visit every day if you like. Also it is good to submit URL on search engines every time you replace your home page. More times you replace your home page the better for points.

Some engines charge you to be listed. But in time they will index you due to people on their engine have links to your site that their robots will follow to you. Then you are indexed for free. Yahoo charges to be listed in their business directory many think like $300 a year.

Now to get links is a tedious process of sending out hundreds of emails with a friendly greeting, Your site title with appropriate keyword placement in it, and site description. For their listing you, you give them a reciprocal link with their title and description on your link page. You able to get people to link to you as an expert through natural linking. You able to do the same for them. But if you get a link without giving one, it equals you higher points. Which in turn give you higher SERP. Other way to get natural links is to make something buzz worthy or give free tools. If you have a cool video of someone winning a Darwin Award, many one might say " Check this Dumb Fuck out!" and link to your site. If it is a popular page you get more points for the link. or if you have a free tool like these; Whois (I able to find out your IP address from you computer from my web log and see which state and country you come from and your Internet provider to bitch too), Keyword finder, or Favicon creators (Little icons that appear at the top of the browser to the left of the URL).

Last but not least are RSS, Blogs, Newsletters, and Article submission. RSS is real Simple Syndication. It is a poor mans AP wire service. People have attachments to their browsers called aggregators that read this peculiar code. It able to have placement on your web page. Say you able to have a feed from the latest news updated daily by the New York Times which helps keep fresh content on your site to get points. Or you able to have people list your articles on their site giving you links back to your site. Then we have Blogs. If you blog you will put a link back to your other page. When this gets higher PR so does your other site. Also it is something else to attract clients to you in another arena. Also every time you comment on a board or blog, make sure you link back to your site in your signature. All post tend to be indexed by robots. If they find your link they come back to your page and give you points. Then newsletters you make will do the same. Links from emails count too. If you click on the links above, you will give points to that web site. But mostly newsletters are marketing to gather sales and inform the public on your product. Then we have article submission. By submitting articles to directories, they get published by other web sites and provide links back to your site.


That is the basic of SEO. Image the expert article. Hmmm....
