If you are just getting started with a website and are currently looking for a few ways to drive traffic to your website then follow all of these tips to start generating organic (free) traffic to your website. This list will be the first of several articles that provide simple and effective tips for getting started. Let’s get started.

• Start a Blog: Generating new content on your website is essential to being crawled by search engines on a regular basis. If you have started a website, then one would assume that you have a topic that you are passionate so take 20 minutes a day to put together an article on a relevant topic. We recommend no less than 3 updates per week or more.
• Register with Every Search Engine: Yes, you know to register with Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask but there are many smaller search engines that you should register your site with over the first month or so in your first month of marketing your website. Use Google and Bing to search “Register my website” and “Register my website with search engines” will get you many of the choices that you seek.
• Register with every top Directory: Unfortunately there are hundreds of directory’s to register your site with but it is a necessary evil. Some directory’s are worth more than others. A quick Google or Yahoo search will help you find the most popular. This is a tedious process but you will want to have as many quality back links to your site as possible in order to grow in organic search. A back link is having a popular site with a link to your website.
• Register with Social Bookmarking websites: Make sure that you have a presence on the social bookmarking sites like Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon and many more. You will need to register so that you can submit articles that you find are interesting along with some of your own articles that you have written. We also suggest that you have tools for those visiting your website to tag the social bookmarking websites with your articles if they like the topic.
• Define your Tag’s and Description of your website: As you register your website with each search engine, directory and social bookmarking website, you will need to have concise (short) description and tag line. Also do research and find which 6 to 8 tags (one word descriptions) that you will enter on several of these sites.

Starting with these five items will provide you with quite a bit of insight on other ideas about marketing your website or blog. Here is a list of websites for more SEO Tips. In future articles we will provide additional tips for those that have done all of the included tips and are ready to move on the next set.

If you have ever tried to research techniques on how to increase traffic to your site you may have noticed an underlying theme in most recommendations – host a quality website.

Why host a quality site? Because a quality site is one that people want to visit and link to. So what makes a quality site? There are two versions of quality, one is how visitors judge your site and the second is how the search engines view your site. Search engines, in an attempt to stay competitive, try to deliver a quality product to the people that use their search tools, which means that they want their visitors to find relevant search results and use their search engine often.

So the search engine tips, tricks and traps popular five years ago do not work anymore, because they do not supply relevant page results. Search engines are now looking for applicable content, not only relevant but real content, not pages stuffed with keywords.

Here are our 56 tips to improve your website and how search engines view them.

1. Include relevant content, relevant to your page description and Meta keywords.

3. Don’t post duplicate content on your site, so if you quote another page only include a small excerpt and don’t repeat your own content on multiple pages.

Optimizing your sites to receive free traffic is a crucial part of site-building. Not only will it save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in paid advertising, but it will also remain a permanent asset to your site. If you decide to sell at some point in the future, you can simply show buyers your completely organic search engine traffic and that will lift the perceived value of the site, even if you don’t have high revenues.

So how do you go about optimizing your sites to receive free traffic from the major search engines, including Google?

The best way in which to go about this is to setup link exchanges with other site owners in your given niche. You can do this by joining a link exchange program which you can find through searches for “Link Exchange” on all of the major search engines.

You will want to setup links with high page rank sites that are related to your niche. Also, you will want to put your target keyword to optimize in the anchor text of your link. This is what the search engines will look at when they determine what your site is about based on the link.

If you setup a large amount of link exchanges, you will want to vary your anchor text to include several different keywords not just the one you want to optimize for most. This will ensure that you receive traffic for a number of different keywords.

In addition to a link exchange campaign, you will also want to run a complementary content-creation campaign. This will consist of creating new pages for your website based around keywords that are receive little traffic, but have no competition. This will allow you to virtually dominate all of the traffic for that given keyword.

Just remember, SEO is not black magic but instead a logical approach to finding underused keywords, some quality link building and optimizing your website for both the search engines and more importantly your visitors.
