If you have money to spare, you can submit your website/blog/article to directory submission services. Perhaps one of the oldest methods to get backlinks, these services charge a fee in exchange for backlinks. They’ll select which relevant directories to submit your site or article to (these can number in the thousands), do the submissions for you, and guarantee to give you X amount of backlinks. You can also opt to do the submissions yourself to sites such as Yahoo Directory. These will get you authority backlinks, but you have to pay the price.

For those who would rather utilize free methods to get backlinks, there are many ways to go about building web traffic.

1. Write articles with quality content and submit these to article directories. Ezine Articles and Go Articles, Article Alley, Article Base, and Buzzle are some good sites. There are many others. By submitting articles, you get backlinks from high page rank directories plus when other people publish your articles in their sites, you get additional backlinks to your site. The content of your article is important. When you have useful and informative content, your readers are encouraged to link to your article. Give your articles compelling titles in order to elicit attention from readers.

2. Join forums relevant to your site and post comments and blogs which link back to your site/article. Again, make your posts informative or at least relevant and encouraging.

3. Comment on blogs related to your niche. Contribute useful and relevant information when commenting on blogs. Link your comment to your article or to relevant content on your website. Do this often. It’s a marvelous way to interact with other bloggers and gain credibility for yourself as you increase backlinks to your site.

4. Bookmark your web pages, using popular bookmarking sites such as delicious.com, reddit.com, Technorati.com, Stumbleupon.com, etc. You may want to use socialmarker.com to do this. It’s a free tool that helps you cut the time you spend in submitting to social bookmarking sites.

5. Use the services of Free Traffic System. This is a free tool that publishes the articles you submit to hundreds of relevant blogs that link back to your article or website. This will result in increased traffic and higher page ranking.

6. Submit your site to popular web directories like Yahoo Directory and DMOZ. You can submit for free although it may take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months before the search engines list your site. It’s worth the wait though.

Remember though that not all backlinks are created equal – at least not in the sight of search engines. So you must ensure that you get high quality backlinks. Search engines are known to devalue links from directories with low page ranking. They also get very suspicious if you all of a sudden have thousands of new backlinks. They’ll think you’re spamming and lower your ranking. So if you’re going to submit to directories, don’t submit all at once. Spread out your submissions over a period of time so that the search engines view you as building backlinks naturally. I’ve given you 6 good strategies for creating backlinks to your website/blog/article and increasing your search engine ranking. Use them and watch your Google and other search engine ranking shoot up.

The trick then remains that you should be able to gain momentum in your postings of content and that you should also be able to specifically target the traffic that you receive. There is no point in getting large amounts of unusable traffic that has no direction and value to your site, product and or service.

Therefore it becomes relevant that you target your audience wisely and use as many keyword research tools as you can possibly get a hold of and really begin to analyse the results that you get from this. You will notice that the results from each one will differ slightly and that is why you should take each one into proper consideration as well as re-running tests. Once you have a large amount of keywords you should begin writing your content to accommodate those keywords and remember to properly add your meta keywords and description.

While there may be many changes that Search Engines make in their algorithms, one thing will always remain constant and that is the prospect of serving up the best content first. This is your draw card – do the work that you should be doing and target it to your readers first, the search engines will follow through on their own. There is no need for black hat SEO techniques and this will be sure to encourage the disregarding of your site rather than the proper placement thereof.

Once people find quality within the content that you own they will start telling their friends and family about it and you will see the great amounts of difference in your daily traffic. They will begin to share the articles and content that they have found on social networks which in turn brings you even more valuable and targeted traffic. This also increases your number of in-links which is great for overall Search Engine Optimization. Once your site becomes popular you will never have to try to promote your own works as this will be taken care of by your readers.
Be sure to add subscription services to your website and or blog and use them frequently. We have chosen to use FeedBurner since it allows people to feel rather safe and they tend to trust the source and know that their personal details will never be exposed.

Because using services like FeedBurner ensure that your emails are delivered daily; you will receive returning traffic which, as I have mentioned before, is great for your website and blog. This also helps because your updated content is made available daily to all of your subscribers with four very important advantages:

1. No extra load on your server,
2. No need to keep email address
3. no prospect of being reported as spam,
4. Its all free!

Using Social Sites is something that most people are already aware off.  So getting started within the social network that you currently use is a great start. Get your friends to help promote you and you will see as your traffic increases and you turn advertising into sales or make sales off your own product. As time goes you can begin expanding over other social networks and bookmarking services ensuring that all of your sites content gets book marked in the various social networks that there are. This next step should help to expand further in both your traffic and your revenue generation.

Once you’re here there isn’t much else you can do except write great traffic and let the process automate itself. Make sure you book mark with all of your keywords intact and that your content is usable for the visitors to your site.

Another nice way to keep visitors coming back for more is using an email list or RSS (Real Simple Syndication feeds) within your site. Returning visitors add a lot of value to your site.

The best way to make use of any of this is to ensure that it looks natural and that you, under no circumstances, SPAM the search engines or social media networks as this will definitely get you knocked out!

It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to keep the pace with technology and design – therefore many designers in particular fail. A good way to overcome this is to simply gather as much information as you can and start sifting through it until you can reach the likes of the more inspired web designers. It doesn’t heard to try new things and always remember that overwhelming amounts of information can be categorized, filed and learned in small bits and chunks until you get exactly what you are looking for.

In the near future I will be posting some tutorials on using photo galleries on your sites! Stick around, subscribe to my feed and stay updated with me.

‘Ping’ is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the network interface card of the computer, or as a speed test. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies. Ping measures the round-trip time[1] and records any packet loss, and prints when finished a statistical summary of the echo response packets received, the minimum, mean, max and in some versions the standard deviation of the round trip time.

Well, that’s according to Wikipedia. As far as I know, when using blogging software you can automatically inform social networks like Technorati of your updates using a Ping. As soon as you hit the publish button the network (site) is pinged and notified of the updates and made available for others to see.

Here is the list that I have of updated ping services:

At the moment the domain is pending registration which means that the site can only be accessed through the sub-domain at www.devilishlysaintful.co.za/boyswillbeboys.za.net – we hope that by the 31th of March 2009 the site will be directly available at http://www.boyswillbeboys.za.net and then will be accessible via that URL. For now, please register from the domain www.devilishlysaintful.co.za/boyswillbeboys.za.net and you will be able to use the full site.

There is currently a lot of testing on the site therefore you may find that there are some irrelevant articles and post/links on the site.

We will begin work on more sites in due time and hope that we will expand the source of these sites into something formidable for a world audience.

We have also began to work on many new insurance sites as well as band/entertainment sites which we will feature on this site soon.

Take a quick peak at our updated homepage (“,) – We added, removed, expanded and generally made it look better. We are delited at the caliber of clients that are exposed too and using the services of The Proniit Group and look forward to increasing this on a daily basis as we begin to grow as a company and with each individual – grow personally.
