-time on the internet

-A site, blog or article which is worth increasing traffic on!Step 1

Even though the most important thing with a website or article is content, it is useless withoutexposure. This is where SEO (or "Search engine optimization") comes in. Only use 'white hat SEO' asblack hat will often do more damage than good:

make sure your content has the related keywords repeated enough times throughout your text. Asthis will increase traffic from Google and other search engines when people search for that subject,but don't over do it, and make sure your text flows normally. for example the keywords to this articleare 'keywords', 'seo', 'traffic', etc.

Step 2

To increase traffic it is worth baring in mind these methods when creating the site content:

The content must be original and good quality! - If you make lots of rubbish content, no one will beinterested.

You won't get more money by having more content if its just thrown together! offer something thatno one else is, or that you can offer at a better quality.

As the way to make your traffic increase is for people to find it interesting and link to it, whichincreases its page rank, which in turn increases traffic, no one recommends rubbish content. no one.

Step 3

After making a website or article that is worth peoples time you need to kick start the traffic, as withno exposure people won't find it in the first place, one good way to kick start traffic is link building:

Link building is getting links to your site on external sites, if you can get a link on an external site it

increases your traffic in 2 ways; one is people may follow the links, but the most important is that itwill increase you page rank.

Page rank is simply how good Google thinks your page is, it puts pages with higher page rank higherin the search results, its easy to see how this will help your traffic tremendously.

one way to get external links is on social bookmarking sites like: digg.com, Mixx.com, furl, reddit,stumbleupon.com. encourage your readers to recommend your site and add your site to themyourself.

another way is linking to your site on forums, but don't spam them! as that won't help.

and finally, find other sites with similar content and offer a link exchange, which will help you both,make sure they have a good page rank themselves otherwise it won't help much (check with thistool).

Good luck! It will be hard work, don't delude yourself, but in the end it will be worth it.
