Ok that was a little harsh I admit but with that said please go right now and download Firefox if you don’t already have it. Reason being is there is a ton of plugin tools you can use to help your website. One of the biggest tools I use is called SEO for Firefox by Arron Wall over at SEOBook.com. It basically gives you extra stats when you do a search in Google.

Another tool that I use is called Shareaholic. This is how I get indexed with Google so fast. Every time I post a new blog or write a new article or even link to someone I send that page to all the big social networking guys. Google searches these pages constantly and will get routed back to your site putting you on Google radar.

Also let’s say you exchange links with someone. It might take Google some time to crawl their site and recognize your link. To speed up this process submit the page that your link is on through Shareaholic and it should get indexed quickly making that link useful.

So my advice is to download this puppy and start to use it every time you add new content to your website(s). Also below are some more related links about using Google to get traffic to your website:

It’s a website called Unique Article Wizard or UAW for short. You can visit it here http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com.
It’s an article submission service that works by taking an article you’ve written and submitting different versions of it to a ton of article directories.

The way it works is you write an article and then re-write it two more times so that it’s different but says the same thing. They jumble it all  up and submit it so you don’t get penalized for content duplication. By submitting these articles you can add links into a resource box that goes with every articles.

Now here is the cool part. You can have an unlimited amount of different resource boxes. So you could submit the same links with different anchor text.

Now you want to know how you can get 45,000 links in one month right? The potenial is there. If you were to submit one article every day for one month then it’s possible. UAW recommends that you set your submission rate to 50 per day. So if your submitting to 50 directories a day with 30 or so different articles then that’s 1500 submissions per day. Times that by 30 days and it’s 45,000 submissions a month with about 2 links back to your site per submission.

That’s a whole lot, if you can do it. It can be done if you stick to it. Now here’s a little tip you may want to keep in mind. If you site is new then getting this many links this fast can be a bad thing. So if your site is new then I would slow down the submission rate which you can set yourself at UAW.

Hope this helps,  Start Writing!

As we wrap up the end of the year I wanted to take a short look back. I have been blogging for over 4 years now but always for fun and never for success ( I really don’t think people wanted to read my blog about my holiday parties and what I thought about people I knew ) that blog was mostly for my friends, and can be found on my myspace page http://www.myspace.com/rapsmear.

Over the past two years however I have started 2 websites and 3 blogs.
My Websites are:
SwimUniversity.com
PoolPuppy.com

My Blogs are:
DIYPoolCare.com (which is the old SwimUniversity.com Blog I just changed over)
ArrestedDevelopmentblog.com
TheOvernightSite.com (which you’re reading)

These sites are all currently unsuccessful but I’m working on it. It’s a slow process, which brings me to my main focus, the biggest and best traffic tips I’ve learned this year:

It’s a Slow Process

Extremely slow! Which sucks cause I’m one of those folks who needs instant gratification. I have actually recorded a full length album overnight because I wanted it done. But my advice is to stick to it as best you can, it will pay off.

Write Good Content

Really? I didn’t know that? I thought I should write really crappy content that no one will want to read.
I know that’s what you’re thinking because every time I read that tip it’s the same explanation. Well I say “No Shit”, pardon my french.

Get Links!

If there is any tip that is worth mentioning over and over and over again until your brain can think of nothing but link building then so be it. I want you to eat, sleep and dream about building links to your site. You want to be #1, you want to have a successful website, then build links. Think of it as an obsessive collection. The more you have the better you are, the richer you are. Here are some ways to get thinks:

1. Submit to directories (easy and it still works but who knows for how long)

2. Comment on related blogs to your website or blog (comment more on the ones where you can leave your URL)

3. User Twitter, it’s the easiest way to ask for link exchanges. Just say “Hey would anyone like to exchange links.” I usually get at least one every time I do it. Actually I’m going to do it right now as I’m thinking about it.

4. Actually just Tweeting your link gets you links

5. Take the articles or blog posts from your site, re-word them and change the title and send them to ezinearticles.com and add your link at the bottom. This works like gangbusters!

Get on Twitter

If it wasn’t for Twitter this year, I would have no readers. The sole reason my blogs have any following is because I have a following on Twitter.
For example I have a blog about the show Arrested Development. I started a Twitter account called TheBluths and I signed up for TweetBeep.com. Now every time somebody on Twitter mentions “Arrested Development” I get an email and then I follow that person. Then that person sees me as TheBluths and naturally wants to follow me back. Then that person sees that I provide information on the show and joins my blog. Awesome.

So these are the biggest tips I have learned this year. Seriously this is all I do to get traffic to my websites. Please share your biggest web traffic tips that you learned in the following comments. Happy Holidays!

3 Tips for Making the Most of December

http://www.seohosting.com/blog/search-engine-marketing/3-tips-for-making-the-most-of-december/

Why You Should Link to the Links That Are Linking to You

http://thekeywordacademy.com/why-you-should-link-to-the-links-that-are-linking-to-you/

I started a new blog to test adsense called ArrestedDevelopmentBlog.com which is a blog about the show Arrested Development and the movie updates. In order to start gaining traffic and readers to this site I decided to sign up for TweetBeep and get emails sent to me whenever someone mentions “Arrested Development” or “Bluth” in a tweet. About every other day I get about 20+ twitterers that post tweets about these subjects. So I follow every one of them and now I can give updates about Arrested Development and share quotes with those followers.

It seems to be working out well so far, the site has only been up for about 4 days now and I’m already getting retweets and some traffic from Twitter. So my advice is, if you have a niche and use twitter, use TweetBeep to find follwers faster!

Layout

-Consistent navigation bar and main logo.

-Page footer that includes copyright information and a contact email address.

-Remember that most people use an 800 x 600 resolution so you should design your pages to be no less than 750 pixels wide.

-Make sure the text on the page is easy to read. If you use a black background it is best to use white text so that people can read it.

-Grab attention with the homepage. Put as much relevant information on the main page as you can

-Check Browser Compatibility

Navigation

-If you are using buttons as your text, add links to the bottom of your page. Some people use text browsers and search bots only look at text not pictures.

-Make sure the homepage is under 50 kb for fast loading

-Navigation should be big and simple and easy to find

-Check Links to ensure they are not broken

Search Engine Optimization

-Make sure your meta tags are defined (title, keywords, description)

-Make sure all your alt tags are filled in

-Make sure there are plenty of links and they are not broken

-Preview you pages in a text browsers

1. Redirect 404 Page
2. Use Header Tags <h1>, <h2>, <h3>
3. Make your links the color blue, so that visitors know that it’s a link
4. Use CSS, for site wide customization and website speed
5. Use short meta data. Every page has to have a title, about 5 Keywords and a brief description
6. Use Google Analytics to track visitors on your website. It’s free.
7. Start a blog using wordpress (it’s the most SEO-Friendly)
8. Use a robot.txt to blog google from going into useless folders on your server.
9. Create an xml sitemap and submit it to Google’s Webmaster Tools.
10. Use large text.
11. Create great content. Content is King!
12. Twitter!!!!
13. Sign up for Stumble Upon
14. Sign Up for Delcious
15. Use flash animation sparingly. Google doesn’t read flash…yet.
16.Choose an easy to spell domain name
17. Get a .com screen name. All the others in my opiniion are worthless.
18. Be consistent in your design across all your pages.
19. Use alt tags on all your images.
20. Check your spelling
21. Create an about us page
22. make sure your webpage works on every browser.
23. Do not play music on your site. If you do make sure it’s the users choice to play it
24. Stay away from intro pages.
25. Add Search function to your website
26. Animated Gifs are tacky, don’t use them
27. Intralink within your website. If there is relevant content related to a page, link it
28. Less images = Faster load times
29. make sure every page has a different page title, keywords and description to match the content
30. Have someone else proofread your work
31. Do not submit to crappy directories that mean nothing
32. Review your website every week and make changes
