What is SEO??

"Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a website from search engines via "Natural" or "Un-paid" ("Organic" or "Algorithmic") search results."

Many people think that having a good website is all you need to get tons of visitors. Wrong answer. Getting traffic to your site takes hard work and diligence and is not accomplished overnight. Think about it this way - how are people supposed to know where to find your site if you don't tell them? You must advertise. Here are some proven ways to advertise your site without spending [much] money:

1) Submit your site to as many search engines as you can. Here are some of the popular ones you can start with:

Alexa	AltaVista	AllTheWeb	AOL	Ask
DMOZ	ExactSeek	Excite	GigaBlast	Google
What-U-Seek	Kanoodle	Live	Lycos	LookSmart
MSN	National Directory	Yahoo	SearchIt	WebCrawle

2) Have Dynamic content on your site - Message Board, Links Directory, Guest Book, Online Search, Picture Gallery, Quote of the day, News items, Site Search, Links Engine ... It all makes for a more enjoyable experience for your visitors ... and interested visitors come back.

3) Make sure you don't have Broken Links on your site! There is nothing more annoying when one clicks a link and it does not work. There are hundreds of places you can go on the internet that will check your link validity. Use them.

4) Make sure your META TAGS are done right.

5) Submit your site to as many privately run Link Directories/Search Engines as you can find. These will not generally boost your traffic in any major way but will help to maintain steady stream of qualified visitors.

6) Subscribe to the Usenet groups and advertise there. A good place to start is Google Groups

• Be sure to submit your site in appropriate groups!
• Be sure to signup with a backup email or you will get onto every spammers database!
• Be sure you don't SPAM -- only submit a write up of your site once to any given group.

7) Use social networking sites like Twitter, facebook, YouTube, Plaxo, Linkedin and others to get the word out.
