Hi, I am 16 years old and made and Adrian Peterson Fan Club. (http://www.apfanzone.com) I guess that I am an average 16 year old boy and very impatient! I want to know if there are any ways to get website traffic, weather that be hits or visitors.

I got my site on google, but I dont know how to make it if someone looks up "Adrain Peterson" my site will show up. My site will only show on Google if you type apfanzone or apfanzone.com.

Thanks for any help! I dont mind spending money, but am looking for cheap ways to increase traffic. I cant afford anything above like $25 a month. THANKS AGAIN!

If your site gets alot of views it will get higher on the ranking. I found this site quite useful.

In am in agreement with another forum member who believes the use of Flash was unfortunately at this time, since the majority of your audience are home-based Net subscribers still using dial-up telephone services. These are not necessarily people who are patient enough for the slow downloading of your Flash images to completion. Perhaps a redesign of your webpages is in order to eliminate needless Flash images and maintain the HTML integrity of this site, if at all possible.

In the meantime, here’s a step-by-step review of your current website, beginning with your opening webpage along with suggested improvements.

A. <title>THE HUNK OF JUNK</title>

Improvements: Understandably, the Title is your domain name. However, it needs more specific direction and where’s the location of your business site? The Title must be site specific. Here’s an improved Title:

<title>Junk Construction Yard Residential Commercial Hauling Removal - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania</title>

B. <META NAME="description" CONTENT="The Hunk of Junk, we haul away just about anything">

Improvements: Don’t use a reference to a domain name within a Description. Here’s an improved Description:

<META NAME="description" CONTENT="We provide junk removal for homes, businesses, offices, real estate agencies and contractors">

C. <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="junk hauling, junk removal, junk services, trash services, garbage, hauling, junk, appliance removal, furniture removal">

Improvements: Do not load duplicate entries. Here’s an improved KEYWORDS:

<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="junk, trash, garbage, appliance, furniture, hauling, removal, services">

Hopefully, you can incorporated the above-referenced improvements into your webpages — in a timely fashion. And as a consequence, your website will attract increased numbers of web visitors and enjoy a stable income.

Good luck!

I have a new website at
http://www.specialhomeproducts.com
Check it out! I have many new home decor and office decor products, as well as great gift ideas for every special occasion….just need ideas as to how to market this without it costing an arm and a leg….am working on a limited budget. The idea is to MAKE money with it, NOT SPEND every dime I have just to get it marketed and ranked on the search engines. If anyone out there has resources for excellent internet marketing, that is reputable, NOT SCAMS, and is easy to understand for the beginner, let me know! I know amazon.com has several books you can get, such as "search engine optimization for dummies", or "keywords for dummies"…may have to go with that for now, to save on my expenses…already put TOO much into this project to give up on it….getting several hits a day to the site, but still no significant sales….any help I can get out there would be greatly appreciated. debs3

You can do it for free no problem but it will require a little time on your part.

First you need to get two books from the library:

Designing with Web Standards http://www.zeldman.com/dwws/

Don’t make me think http://www.sensible.com/buythebook.html

Reading and understanding these two books alone will put you ahead of 99.9% of webdesigners.

Then you need to read a free, reliable and up to date SEO tutorial. There are only two of these on the web that are considered worth reading.

http://www.seomoz.org/article/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization

http://www.seo-blog.com/tutorial.php

That’s it! Read, learn and implement.

Good luck!

I signed up for a blog with blogger adn have google adsense on it, so far I’ve made a couple of dollars but I like it. What advice do you give me to take another step, should I get a website adn ad adsense on it… what is the best way cheap way to get a web site that will work with google adsense? How can I get a web site on my own and not pay so much money? I dont mind investing money in it, as long as I know I can make money with it off google adsense? what should I do? what advise do you give? what can I do to increase traffic to my site then?

if you want to make a site your own there are 3 things you are gonna need.

1. you need a domain name. You can buy it around 10$ or get it free for working in forums etc. check here,

2. You need a web host. you can buy web hosting or find a free web host, check here,

3. you have to make a website for that you need to learn HTML here is good tutorial for that

then you should learn about various ad networks including adsense,

Key to earn from AdSense is traffic. More traffic you get more you will earn. So learn about search engine optimiation. Because AdSense love search engine traffic and that where you can get most of your traffic. Join webmaster forums like digitalpoint.com and learn more about it.

Optimization does help only for contents,keywords,articles etc but not for images..How do i make my images from my website appear on the search engine’s search viewable

Hi

To appear in google images you need to use google webmaster tools. There is an option:

Enhanced image search

Enable Google’s enhanced search for images on your site, including advanced labeling techniques for images hosted by Google.

Also make sure to name your images base on your keyphrases…

Good Luck

Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it’s easier said than done.

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481

Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/

i have a website , but am trying to make it at least come out on the first page of google or yahoo , what dose that work? do i need more traffic on my website? and if so? how?

you should look up "page rank" on wikipedia. the google algorithm is based on how many quality links you can get to your site from the same niche. so if your site is about bowling, you need to get a lot of good high quality bowling sites to link to your site. now do you do this? it’s hard but maybe look at some bowling blogs and forums and write comments with links back to your site. also, try to concentrate on content because content is king, links are queen. if you build great content, people will naturally link to your site as something of value. build content around the key words "bowling" and write good articles.

Hello,advertise it on any local free websites…
such as
localsalesnetwork.com
moneyads.com
you can also place free yahoo and google and dogpile.com ads as well
what about hanging out free fliers and putting ads in freebie newspapers and local papers???if you have a myspace.com account post it as a bullitan and ask all your friends to do the same
good luck

I’ve made a simple website to promote my mom’s new psychological counseling service. In the past, there were simple web pages that let you submit your site to different search engines. Now when I search for such a service, all I find are search engine optimization companies offering to do this for a fee. What’s the most straightforward way to do it on my own?

Go to google.com and add your site in their web crawler. It could take anywhere between 1 - 3 weeks for your site to appear.
