If Search-engines can't find your website, then who can?

One of the certainties about having your own website or Internet business is that if no one knows that your site is there, regardless of how good it is designed, no one will be able to find it. So it is very important to think about how you might promote your website and drive traffic to your site.

Many of you will know from your own web surfing experiences and habits that it is rare for someone to go beyond the top three results offered by a search engine, not less pages two, three and beyond. This means that if your site is not ranked well, you may be missing out on crucial targeted traffic, so you may want to consider optimizing your site for organic search engine traffic as well as starting a pay per click program which are offered by the main search engine vendors.

Search Engine Optimization Defined

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of guiding the development or redevelopment of a website so that it will naturally attract visitors by winning top ranking on the major search engines for selected keyword phrases. Top rankings can be had in two ways: organic search traffic, and pay per click traffic.

Organic Search Engine Traffic is…

…simply put, "Type-In Traffic". People arrive at your website because they typed in a keyword or a phrase that is relevant to your website, and because your site had proper optimization, your site shows up in the first few positions of the search results and gets the click-thru from the searcher. After all, it’s better to be listed one page one of the search results in the top 10 listings versus listed on page seven at position 72.

Organic Search Engine Traffic Is also:

100% Free! (You don't have to pay for traffic)
100% targeted! (What could be more targeted than a person who actually SEARCHED for what you're offering?)
100% Auto-pilot! (You don't have to send any emails or place any ads. Your visitors will come round the clock regardless of where you are or what you're doing)
100% Hassle Free! (You don't have deal with SPAM issues like having your website being blacklisted just because of some fruitcake who forgot that he opted in...)

Pay per click Is…

…exactly what is says, you bid an amount per click to have your site highlighted to the right of keyword searches. This is a great way to highlight your site and drive immediate qualified traffic, the great thing is that you only pay when a user clicks through to your site. So make sure that your site has quality content and a way for you to encourage your users to submit their details. Once you have a collection of your users’ data, it is much easier and cheaper to market to them directly.
