Thus, you definitely want to get your web-site to appear in the first page, or even in the first few search results. You will need to increase your GooglePage Rank (Read Getting Internet Traffic 2: How Google Works?) and here is how you do it:
- Submitting Your Site to Search Engines & Directories
- Check my previous post 'Getting Internet Traffic 1 : Submitting Your URL'
- Increase Backlinks
- To achieve a higher Google PageRank, you need to have more links linking to you (know as backlink). For example, A and B are both website talking about "How to kick a ball". However, there are 50 other websites which has link that links to website A (known as backlink) while website B has 25 backlinks to it, a user searching for "How to kick a ball" in the Google search engine will have website A appearing at the top and website B will be appear at the bottom of the search result.
- The reason is simple, Google assume that when your website receive more backlink from other websites, it is significantly more important, since more websites are referring, quoting or mentioning your website.

- Active Online Participation
- Participate actively in forum, Yahoo! Answer and other form of activities which has a lot of people visiting. For example, you can try visiting forum which has similar topics to your blog. If your blog is about kicking soccer ball, then you can hunt for forum with similar topic and start to post opinions, answer questions or even ask questions in the forum.
- The trick here is, put your website URL below your signature when you are signing off your message. For example:
- In this way, people reading your post will know about your website and they might click on the link provided if you make good post in the forum. Furthermore, you are actually creating backlinks for your website, as now it has backlinks coming from the forum you participate at. Amazing isn't it? You are killing two birds with one stone.
- Start now by participating in forums which has similar topics to your website!
- Website which has more relevant keywords will appear higher in the search result. Back to the example on website A and B - if both website A and B as the same number of backlinks, but website A has more frequent of keywords such as "How to Kick A Ball", then website A will have a higher Goggle PageRank.
- Again, Google assume that a more relevant website will have more keywords repeated in the website.
- However, do not repeat the keywords too frequently, as Goggle will delete your site from it's database your site appear suspicious (by having too many keywords repeated).
