It is the search engines that finally bring your website to the notice of the prospective customers. Hence it is better to know how these search engines actually work and how they present information to the customer initiating a search.
There are basically two types of search engines. The first is by robots called crawlers or spiders.
Search Engines use spiders to index websites. When you submit your website pages to a search engine by completing their required submission page, the search engine spider will index your entire site. A ‘spider’ is an automated program that is run by the search engine system. Spider visits a web site, read the content on the actual site, the site's Meta tags and also follow the links that the site connects. The spider then returns all that information back to a central depository, where the data is indexed. It will visit each link you have on your website and index those sites as well. Some spiders will only index a certain number of pages on your site, so don’t create a site with 500 pages!
The spider will periodically return to the sites to check for any information that has changed. The frequency with which this happens is determined by the moderators of the search engine.
A spider is almost like a book where it contains the table of contents, the actual content and the links and references for all the websites it finds during its search, and it may index up to a million pages a day.
Example: Excite, Lycos, AltaVista and Google.
When you ask a search engine to locate information, it is actually searching through the index which it has created and not actually searching the Web. Different search engines produce different rankings because not every search engine uses the same algorithm to search through the indexes.
One of the things that a search engine algorithm scans for is the frequency and location of keywords on a web page, but it can also detect artificial keyword stuffing or spamdexing. Then the algorithms analyze the way that pages link to other pages in the Web. By checking how pages link to each other, an engine can both determine what a page is about, if the keywords of the linked pages are similar to the keywords on the original page.

Hosting Impact normally holds a Business Groupie meeting, every month or so, to discuss where we are going, where we have been and where we would like to be in due course.
I was proud to stand up before the assembled mass and let it be known that I had taken their words of wisdom, from the last pow wow we had and had developed a "Blog" and had joined "Twitter" and was enjoying it. So much so, that if I don't add a new Post every day or two, I start to get withdrawals. I have actually met fellow Twitts in person and I have liked it. There must be something to this internet thing.
Anyway, back to the matters at hand...I finished singing the praises of both the Blog and Twitter and how comfortable I now was with my two newest bestest buddies and that I intend to continue "Blogging" and "Twitting" and then it happened.....
One of the Groupies then innocently asked if we had done anything with Face Book, Squidoo, or another dozen Social Media Networks that she rattled off.
Simple answer...No, of course not, I'm doing two that's enough, isn't it. Needless to say, that we spent the next hour + discussing the various Social Networks and what they do and don't do.
Here's a few that they ran past me and suggested that I look at and join.
Squidoo
Facebook
12seconds
30boxes.com
Bebo
Delicious
Digg
Flickr
Furl
Kwippy
Linkedin
My Blog Log
My Space
Stumble Upon
Technorati
Tumblr
and of course You Tube...
Yea, No problem, I will put my life on hold and sit in front of the computer all day, every day, to regularly add a comment, post or blog to each and every single social media network going. If you will excuse the profanities, I will become a Social Media Whore.
Where does it stop... and is there anybody out there that can provide any suggestions to me and I am sure there are 1 000's of others like me, who want to know, how do you find the time and secondly, how do you do it.
Is there a one post that fits all and if it does, how does that go towards duplication content penalty.
Any suggestions, assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Until Net Time ...
Happy Blogging

There are countless ways of generating traffic to your website, unfortunately, a lot of people fail to capitalise on this, simply because they don't follow through. They give up after trying 1 thing once. They don't make a sale so they give it up and say it doesn't work.
You must test, test and retest your efforts and then compare the results to the previous month. Compare unique visitors form one month to the next. Compare enquiry emails received from 1 month to the next.
The only true way of generating traffic, quality traffic, is by testing and by being proactive.
Run weekly or monthly polls on your website. People love to give their opinions on any number of subjects. So give them the subjects to talk about. If you select topics that have a wide appeal, your website visitors will return and return often. From there, ask them to sign up with your newsletter, so you can them advised of new polls and information.
Consider starting a niche forum, as this has also proven to be an excellent source of traffic. Granted, it is and can be a lot of work to get off the ground, however, if you select your niche area carefully, it doesn't take long until word of mouth advertising kicks in.
Consider donating to a local Charity and then distribute a press release proudly advertising that fact. Select your Charity carefully, but donate accordingly and be proud of your donation and give the press release to media and business connections. Ask them to become involved and get 3 or 4 business, working together for a particular charity event.
End of the day, always ask your visitors how they found your website. Was it a referral, a keyword, keywords, if so, what were they...but always test and measure your results.
We trust you have found this blog of benefit.

All online businesses and websites have 2 aims or objectives and they are to make their website stand out from the crowd and secondly, to make sales. With this in mind, it's understandable that the majority of our time is directed towards getting 'traffic'. Without it, a website has no prospects and thus no sales.
Consider this option though, instead of a constant need and push for additional website traffic, why not utilise the traffic you already have? For example, you may currently make 1 sale for every 400 unique visitors, however, by refining your web pages, you could very well make 1 sale for every 200 unique visitors. By refining your current webpages, you have effectively doubled your sales.
You will find below a number of options to consider in refining your current webpages. The secret though, is to test and evaluate, test and evalute. Track your results at all times.
1. A subscription box to your newsletter. By way of thanking them for siging up, give them a free gift or ebook.
2. A window that appears only as the visitor leaves your site. Please remember though that some people detest popups of any kind. Ensure that you have good quality information and content available.
3. Experiment With your current Web Site Design. Add additional images, add new content, add a poll, ask for your visitors comments. Make your website more interactive. Does your website have a clear path to follow or clearly defined "Call to Action"
4. If your website has too much information or clutter, Simplify your page. More choices does not necessarily make it better. View it from your customers eyes or point of view. You know what you like and don't like when you when you visit a website, then implement that.
Test and evaluate every aspect of your website and make the best use of your exisitng traffic and by converting 1extra customer from every 200 unique visitors is effectively doubling your sales and increasing your profit.
Have a clearly defined "Call To Action" and get your website visitors to interact with your website, either by way of signing up for your newsletter or making a phone call or sending an email. Anything is better than nothing.

If you want a quick way of finding Websites or Directories that accept your link/s or offer a reciprocal link option then consider using this within Google, Yahoo or MSN:
"Add Link" "hosting"
"Submit Link" "hosting"
Place "Add Link" "hosting" into Google and instead of "hosting", place the word that best suits you, your business and website. Or use "Submit Link" "hosting" to find the best results.
This will then return the search results for websites or Directories pertaining to that particular keyword, that accept or offer a reciprocal linking programme.
We have found that the above two tips have helped to reduce the amount of time spent searching for websites that accept our links. You have the added advantage of being able to look at the actual website, prior to giving your information. If you like it and it measures up, then submit.

3. Include a ‘Book Mark, Add this site to your Favorites and a link to your Social Media sites such as Twitter'.

- Treat your website as a dynamic, ever changing sales and marketing tool and your customers will too.
Website Traffic is the most essential thing for a website to become a successful internet based business. Aside from ensuring that you have great products and services to sell, you do need traffic, quality traffic, to be successful.
If you already have a website and yet think that you're not getting the traffic that you want to have or should have, then it's maybe time to review, your current website.
You should always be on your guard and be ever mindful of your competitors websites and review how they are achieving their results. Is it becasue of traffic and if so, How, Where, Why, When.
Generating traffic or more quality traffic to your website, is not as difficult as you might imagine. However, what may be difficult for some webiste owners, is the fact that they may need to do it themselves or engage the services of a company to assist. It is no longer a case of I have built my website, where are my customers. Does not work that way and I seriously doubt it ever did.
Here are three ways to increase your traffic starting from yesterday.
1) Viral Marketing
Viral marketing is a cute little buzz word being thrown around at the moment, however, this cute little buzz word effectively allows you to spread the word about your company and product with minimal cost. This is a marketing method that can be used intelligently, whereby you can attach your company’s name, signature, product or link to any available media such as a You Tube, Twitter, Face Book, Linked In or Community Forum etc.... If used correctly, your website will generate additional traffic as your post, input, video or thread is passed from pillar to post.
2) Correct keywords or keyword phrases for your website
Search engines look for certain keywords that they then display in their results page. So it naturally follows that by having the right keyword and relevant keyword phrase is a high priority for ranking high within the search engines. Case in point: Client wants to be number 1 for the term "Real Estate" however, after much convincing the term "Port Stephens Real Estate" is used, as it is a much better selection ofa keyword, plus, it certainly is not as competitive. End result, the customer is satisifed with the results and they also get a better understanding of why and how relevant keywords work.
3) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site
Consider submitting articles to websites that contain the similar subjects to yours. For example, you sell car parts, then write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Include your website description and services at the end of the article. Please remember to include your link. There are a number of Article Submission places that encourage you to write and submit articles on your area of expertise. These articles are then used by other websites on the proviso that the article remains in tact, complete with your link.
End of the day, it comes down to the same rules, if you like and that is that you need to take full responsibility for your website and it's results or lack of. Don't have the expertise, that's ok, contact a company that does, but either way, you still need to do something.

Creating Your Website Presence
One of the biggest bugbears and time consuming aspects of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) back in the old days, was the time required to alter, add and or change the content. This change of content allowed the search engines to identify numerous aspects of your website and more importantly being able to find and subsequently rank it. However, it was at times a long, drawn out process and at times not enjoyable.
With the advent and development of Blogs, the ability to change and or alter the website content with relevant and fresh content have moved the goalposts significantly so that it is no longer necessarily the case!
The website owner now has the ability to create fresh, new relevant keyword rich content at any time of the day or night.
Now, that is not to say that SEO is a tactic that you no longer need to consider. Indeed, with ever increasing competition in online market places, Search Engine Optimisation is something that needs greater thought and consideration with every passing day.
