the number of other sites that have a link to your site actually helps your rating in yahoo, and google.  Keywords are important, but even great keywords won't do anything for traffic.  There are options that you can pay to have your site listed in prime area, sidebars etc. on yahoo and google.  The thing you need the most of is time!  I went from 40 to 50 hits a month, to over 3000 a month, now I'm back to 40 to 50.  Most of the big hits came from image searches, not regular google searches.  \nIt'l like anything else.. there is no easy way, it costs money!

You are doing very well if you have only had your site and you are already indexed by yahoo, having that kind of ranking is just a bonus.\nYou can submit your site directly to the search engines by going to there site. Blogging also helps, I use wordpress it is free and will ping automatically when you submit a post. Linking links on other quality sites is definitely a must especially for good ranking on google.\nEven if you don't do anything but update your site once and a while with new content the other search engines will find you if you are indexed with yahoo.\ngood luck

One of the best ways is to interact with other people's web pages, forums, and blogs such as this. As you can see, my website will now show up on this message and might possibly drive additional traffic to my site. Also, having original, useful information over a long period of time will help you be found in in the search engines.

◙◙ Promote Your Site ◙◙\n\n◙ You need to submit your site to many search engines. Search engines will not accept your site if it is listed on free-for-all list sites. They will not accept it if it is a newbie site that is about them only. Think of a subject and write about it. It can take 2 weeks to 6 months or more before they list you. Even if they do accept your site you'll need to check your listing occasionally to make certain it is still listed. If a site gets no traffic or isn't updated regularly they will delte your listing. If you are a serious webmaster you will need to read about site optimisation at http://www.searchengines.com/ Another great site is http://www.searchenginewatch.com/ Search engine submission tips (lots of info) http://www.searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/\n\n◙ You'll find about 400 search engines here.\n\n► http://dwight.clickthesky.com/search/\n\n◙ There are web sites that claim to submit your site to hundreds of search engines at once. The only one I recommend is http://www.dmoz.org/ The other search engines use this directory to supplement their own directories. Youdd it to google here http://www.google.com/addurl/\n\n◙ If you have a Geocities home page list it in Geocities Homepage Directory http://pages.yahoo.com/ You'll find help for that here http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/geo/gmembers/

Danni,\nThe best way to go might be a real link exchange program. Ask websites that deal with your industry to include you in their link section. Most will do this if you include their link/banner on your site. This is a great way to build "link popularity" with the search engines.\n\nDW

First off, when adding your link to search engines, don't stop at just the top ten or just five of them. I have a personal website and it is listed in over 1500 search engines. The question isn't why the answer to it though is simple enough. Each direct link that you have coming into your site gives you a better chance at having a higher page rank. You see your page rank at:\n\nhttp://www.checkpagerank.com/\n\nPage rank is calculated based on the importance of the website. Each link going into the website is a vote counted towards your page rank. It also helps to have higher page ranking websites link to your site as well.\n\nIn total the more links you have going to your site, the more importance your website has on the Internet as a whole.\n\nDon't stop. Keep submitting your links to every search engine that you can possibly find. If you need more help you can contact me if needed but I'm sure you can figure that out. Finding search engines to submit your site to is easy.\n\nFind people who are willing to exchange links. Or, otherwise known as reciprocal linking. It's best to find people willing to trade links with your site that are around the same area of expertise. Another words, you wouldn't want to trade links with someone that has a website based off of tractor supplies when your website is based solely upon homeade fudge. If you had a food website, you would want more food websites linking to it.\n\nTo arrange all of your reciprocal links on your site, it's best to make a page called 'Links' to put all the links on that page. Remember, it's not only search engines that get your website listed at the top. Reciprocal linking is another part of that.\n\nThere are a lot of other gimics you can use to get links to your site, but to give a suggestion on how to start..\n\nThink of it like this, people using the Internet are bugs or flies and your website is a spiderweb. You want to make the biggest spiderweb you could possibly make. There's two major ways in doing that. \n\nBy word. Tell people and have them tell other people and have those people pass the word.\nBy links. Links are everything. People spend an average of 2 minutes per website when surfing, give or take that is an average amount of time. The more links you have coming into your website, the more people will acknowledge your website as value of importance.\n\nTo read more on page ranking you can go here for a vast amount of information. I believe that this page should have the answers to many questions you might still have.\n\nhttp://www.iprcom.com/papers/pagerank/

There's several criteria that determine how much traffic your website gets but by far the most important things are to have a good ranking in the search engines and some good links to your site.\n\nSearch engines use a complicated algorithm to determine which sites are placed where in the rankings (the results returned by a search engine) and these algorithms are a closely guarded secret.\n\nThere are various articles on the net to do with 'Search Engine Optimization' (or SEO) but I ignore all of them and do things my way - this seems to work as every site I've created ranks within the top 6 on Google even when there's up to 40 million other results found.  A site I created just a few days ago is already ranked number 1 by Yahoo (the only major search engine to have indexed the site so far).\n\nThese are some of my tips...\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A GOOD TITLE --\nOne of the key things a search engine looks at is the title of the page. When you're giving the page a title use the same words that people are likely to key in when using a search engine.  For example, if you're going to create a page about space travel then a title such as "Space Travel - Be a Shuttle Rocket Tourist and Journey to the Moon" would be far better than "All about flying to the moon and back" because the first phrase includes many keywords that people are likely to use in a search engine such as space, travel, shuttle, rocket, tourist, journey and moon.\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A RELEVANT NAME --\nSearch engines also look at page names.  If your domain was mydomain.com then a page name luch as mydomain.com/space-travel will do much better than mydomain.com/section1/part2/page3.\n\n-- USE THE DESCRIPTION TAG --\nSome search engines supoort this tag - others don't.  Google is one of those that does.  What it means is that the details of the site that users see when your site shows up in the search results are the details yopu want them to see and not random snippets from the page.\n\nFor example.  Compare a Yahoo search for 'Black Eyed Peas' to a Google Search.  Both of them find blackeyedpeas.com but Yahoo describe it as "... Multi-platinum 2-time Grammy-winners The Black Eyed Peas cross an historic threshold as their hit ... The Black Eyed Peas, Sergio Mendes, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and others ..." whereas Google uses the description tag and describes it as "Official site includes videos, message boards, tour dates, and photo gallery. Additional content is available to members."\n\n-- PUT A HEADING ON YOUR PAGE --\nThe heading should closely match the page title.  You need to format the heading as a Heading Style and not simply use bold and underlined text.\n\n-- REPEAT THE KEYWORDS FREQUENTLY --\nYou need to include in the text of your page several instances of the different keywords people may key in when using a search engine.  Using the space travel example your page should include words such as space, travel, fly, moon, space-tourist and so on with each of these words repeated several times.\n\nAt the same time don't overdo it - if you keep repeating the same thing ove and over and over again the search engines don't like it.\n\n-- USE OF THE KEYWORD TAG --\nThis is something that's falling out of favour with search engines and in my experience could be detrimental to page ranking.  Keywords are added to the page itself but aren't visible to people browsing the page.  This was a useful 'tag' for ensuring your page contained varients of words, particularly those that are often mis-spelled (e.g. Britney, Britany, Brittany, Spears, Spiers etc).  Personally I don't use keywords any more.\n\n-- DON'T TRY TO 'CHEAT THE SYSTEM' --\nSome web pages hide text by printing white text on a white background for example.  Often such text has nothing at all to do with the site but is just a list of popular words and phrases.  The hope is that som

If you've already submitted it to the Yahoo search engine, you should also make sure your Title tag is descriptive.  Also make sure you've got good text (as opposed to lots of images) and it also helps to have popular sites linked to your site.
