Many users have installed a blog or website script on their shared server and have absolutely no clue
on what to do next. Don't not worry, this is a the typical way things go on the Internet!
In this article you will discover multiple methods which are excellent to know as a beginner.
1 - Writing articles and back links:
That's right, the oldest Internet marketing trick is about creating a back link when an article is sent to multiple article directories.
How? That's very simple, each time we(marketers) do write something pretty cool and sent it to hundreds of other article directories, we add
our website link at the bottom of the article.
Now, what is the point of this? First we would like to have the reader to click on our link, this will automatically generate traffic to our site.
We also hope that Google spiders will crawl the article and record our link which will in turn count as a back link! Easy no?
For example, as a marketer point of view, I know that if you are reading this article it is because you need traffic to your site or blog, therefore
my link will be about SEO tools and other cool software to help you to gain traffic.
2 - Directory submissions:
This is a very important work to do if you wish to rank higher in the search engines, you need to register to as many as possible website directories.
Try to choose high PR directories, this will give you some juice and Google will automatically rank you higher.
You can either try to manually find the directories in Google and other search engines or, use special tools that does it all for you! Well now you know where to look!
3 - Social bookmarking:
Social bookmarking is very important for your ranking and traffic, first you need to understand what is it and what are marketers using it for.
When you have a website like Facebook, Mixx or mister wong, you know that a huge amount of traffic is flowing, therefore you have to get some of this traffic for yourself.
One of the best example is to use a software who will send one of your website link or advertising text to 100 or 200 bookmarking websites at once, imagine the traffic!
Of course you need to do it right, be clever, to over do it or your accountd will get banned. Think about backlinks! Many of these bookmarking websites have DoFollow Tags,
That's right! Each time you send a url on a site like this one, you create a backlink to your website, how cool is that?
Always send your URLs on both Do Follow websites and NoFollow, this way Google will know that you are not trying to fake your rank, it will look more natural. You really don't want to have your website listed on DoFollow links only, tried it, tested it, trust me.
Other methods are available but the 3 above are the best, the oldest and the most efficient for long time ranking.
Some people will use blackhat methods to gain a rank fast but usually these methods only have a very short life span, that's why you need to stick to white hat tricks!
