Building Website Traffic

August 5, 2007 Julie Onofrio Massage Websites, News

One of the challenges with a website is getting the search engines to find you. If you have chosen Site Build It! as your hosting company you have solved half the problem.

The other part has to be done by you and that is building links to your site. Search engines love links to your site. Some ways of doing that are to:

  • Write some articles for free for directories such as ezinearticles.com
  • Start a lens on Squidoo – What’s a lens? Take a look at my new one at http://www.squidoo.com/massage-therapy-careers/
    - It’s a little hard to get an idea of what to do or what this is doing until you create one yourself. The advertisements are a way to make you more money too. Squidoo splits the income from them with you. It is sort of a blog, website, interactive site all in one and it’s all free.
  • Use social bookmarking – I haven’t done this one yet but will let you know when I get it figured out.
  • Start a blog on your site. Starting a blog with one of the free services may get links to your site but actually having one on your actual site will get you traffic because of the rss system. Rss is also included in a Site Build It! Site for free. You can read more about what rss is but basically it send out a message everytime you add a page or a post to the search engines and your subscribers – sort of like an announcement. I use www.ez-web-hosting.com for my non-sbi sites because you can add a wordpress blog with just a few clicks. I also found wordpress the easiest to figure out and use because it has better manuals and guides for setting it up and using it.
