No-Cost Traffic Generating Tip # 1

The #1 no-cost source of traffic is through search engines. It takes time and effort to generate traffic from search engines but once in place, can provide free targeted traffic for years. Since it's all about keywords, it's important to create content based on the theme of your site and adding pages helps even more .

If you have parked your domain names with a domain parking service rather than built your own site or used a content-service like WhyPark, then you are at a disadvantage because search engines don't index parked sites...so don't expect them to count you in anytime soon.

These are the main search engines that really all you need to submit to:
Google
Yahoo
MSN

Submit to them on a bi-monthly or monthly basis as they do take time indexing your site. If you submit too frequently they may consider it as spam and ignore you altogether.

Others like AltaVista and Ask will find you once you are listed.

The DMOZ directory is great to be in but not easy to get into. Is best to sparingly submit to them in order to be successfully listed.

Also get Alexa to crawl your site to get included in traffic rankings.

Not sure about which keywords to use for your site, the overture keyword tool is helpful in evaluating your site's content to find appropriate keywords as well as the demand.

Search those keywords on google or yahoo to get an idea of the amount of search results. If there is a high supply, then it will be difficult to get a good ranking.

The best keywords are ones that are low in supply and high in demand.

Remember visitors who use a search engine to find your site, used specific keywords and therefore are highly targeted to purchase your products or use your service.
