The Best Way to Increase Search Engine Placement

After you have done all of your on-site optimization, you need a steady supply of backlinks. This is the best way to boost your traffic. Of course the cliche is "content is king." If you create articles, videos, etc., that are interesting, informative, and valuable, then people will naturally want to link to your site, right?

Yes and no. If you create valuable content but no one knows it exists, then they won't know to link to it. So it becomes a chicken and egg situation. You need traffic, to build links, to get more traffic.

Here are some easy ways to get free organic, SEO traffic:

Create a blog on your niche. Update it regularly (at least once a week). Post each article's URL in your Twitter Stream. Join a retweet club. Get those team members to retweet your link to their followers. Leave relevant, comments or write a guest article on other blogs, trade blogroll spots with those that you read regularly. Write additional articles (unique ones) and distribute those articles to hundreds of free article directories, with a link back to your site. Make a video, and submit it to the top video sharing sites, with a backlink there, as well.

The main thing is that you need to get more inbound links to your site. Reciprocal links are not as valuable as one-way links, but they are easier to get, and every little bit helps. Try to get links from sites that are on topics similar to yours, and make sure your main keywords are used as the linking text.

This, in a nutshell, is the easiest way to build traffic to your new site. If you have any questions, or would like a little help jumpstarting your traffic and link building campaign, feel free to ask me.
