If you could actually manage to get people to visit your site, then you might very well have the next Google on your hands. But, without the cash to lay out for the pay-per- click advertising or the software necessary to flood the world with more spam, you are beginning to despair. As your site does not even rank in the first ten PAGES, it is beginning to look like that brilliant dream may die one lonely and miserable death. But, don’t throw in the towel just yet because there remain some free methods to generate traffic flow to your site.
It's not money but hard work that will get you into the top ten of search engines. The best way to go about it is to do your homework and study the sites that are on top in great detail. They obviously have a formula that works. Look carefully at their keyword density strategy, the sites they have linked to, and their meta tag usage. You might take a long time to understand their formula because the only way you can figure out the increase or decrease in your rankings is by testing one variable at a time and check the results. You need to focus on determining a competitor's keyword density strategy. Only the search engines know the precise formula, so don't hope to get it perfect. If you discover a strategy that significantly boosts your rankings, go ahead and try it on your content.
Alternatively, if you have a lot of content, you can increase your ranking by linking with other sites. Your links to other popular sites gives the search engines the impression that you are an important site yourself and they like linking with sites that will benefit them. And, if you work on a winning keyword density formula, you can use it to generate a ton of great content. As you increase your links with high-traffic sites you will get closer to that number one ranking. When you're ready with the content based upon a winning keyword strategy, you can start e-mailing webmasters to seek permission to link with their site. Many of them will let you link with them without first obtaining permission. This is a good way to start even if they are not the greatest links.
Yahoo classifieds offer another free way to increase your traffic flow. Yahoo remains one of the most visited websites in the world with millions of daily hits so you can rest assured that people will at least see your ad. Of course, you better write some great copy if you expect people to visit your site. Yahoo allows you to post 10 ads free of charge each time. So, keep writing ads and posting them until you find one or two that succeed in driving people to your site. Online classifieds may not get you the traffic you need to become the next Google, but it is a start. And hey, its free to post them on Yahoo!
As of now, search engines control majority of Internet traffic flow because 90 percent of the surfers use them to find what they want. That is why, it pays to study the competition closely and find their keyword density formula. Once you have the formula to generate a lot of informative content you can start establishing links with other sites. Be patient and go on striving. If you put in that kind of hard work, you will one day find yourself on top of the rankings. Then you can sit back and count your money.
