To help you in your quest for total internet domination we have put together a top list of what you can do to increase your Web traffic substantial. Follow the tips and see how much you can increase your traffic. We would love to hear from anyone who either has or has not increased their website traffic by following our tutorials and using our promotional tools. Remember though it is up to you and nobody else to get your site moving and although submitting to search engines certainly helps there are other easier ways of getting traffic to you in a quicker space of time.

1. Meta Tags - Yep we love to hate them but Meta Tags are very important in website promotion. Ensure that you have installed them correctly and then modify them every few months. Without the Tags your site will not be listed properly by the top engines thus denying you traffic. See our guide on Meta Tags to help you out or use our Meta Tag maker to generate some. If you already have them installed use our handy spider to see what the search engine spider will be able to find. It as advisable to change your Meta Tags at least once every two months otherwise the search engines may reduce your ranking if it returns and finds the same information.
The best advice for Meta Tags is to concentrate on keywords that might be searched for but will not be present on the other thousands of websites like yours, this way you will stand more of a chance to get into the top 10.
You can use our Harvester to help you get the best keywords for your site.

2. Page Scanning - Take advantage of search engines that use page scanning techniques such as Google and Northern Lights. Ensure that your headings are worded in such a way that the page will be shown within certain search criteria.
You can work out your wording by remembering how people search for sites, for example use 'the best freebie sites' not 'the best freebie site' as most will search for sites not site or use 'UK search engines' not 'UK search engine' as again engines would be searched for not engine. If you use this technique properly you can double your traffic in a very short period of time.
You must also take into account that some people will search in upper case or lower case letters or even a mixture of both.

3. Banner exchanges - These are probably the quickest way of getting traffic to your website. Try and join ones which offer a high starting credit and this will ensure that your banner is advertised even while you are trying to get traffic to your site. It is best to join several and place the banners on different pages. Check your stats frequently to see how many hits you are getting and move the highest display/hit ratio exchange to your front page. Never place more than two banners on any one page as this can slow the download and lose you visitors.
It is always wise to get a good banner or button made up and if necessary get a professional one done. Experiment with them as you will surprised what different responses you will get.

4. Top Sites - Top sites are an excellent way of sending you website traffic but can back fire on you if nobody clicks on the button that is on your site. The best advice for these is to join them all over a period of time and place the buttons in strategic areas. Cheat if necessary as everyone else does but don't over do it as you will get banned. As with the banner exchanges it is always a good idea to not only experiment with different types and styles of banners or buttons but also the text which goes along with it. Every time you join a top site use different text and see which ones get you traffic.
Once you know which top sites send you hits concentrate on them and get rid of the others.

5. Doorway Pages - Doorways can help boost your website position in search engines, however you need to be very careful that you are not accused of spamming the engines and getting your site banned. Read our Doorway Page Guide and then decide if you need to create any for your site with our Doorway Page maker.  Doorway pages should only be used if you have more than one category within your website and you are finding that the search engines are denying you traffic as a result.
