Surefire SEO For New Websites

Have you ever wonder why some websites are more successful than the others?
Have you purchased a ready-made website, fire it onto the web and realize
that there is no traffic to the website? Are the gurus having secrets that
you don't know? Is there a missing software that you need to purchase?

The truth is, the problem doesn't lie on the website being created. The
problem lies in you. Websites don't promote itself, you have to put in the
effort to promote is. Two persons can purchase the same set of ready-made
website but one person is much more successful than the other because the
successful one spends time promoting it whereas the other one simply upload
the website and hope miracles to happen.

It doesn't cost a lot of money to promote a website, but it does require
some time and some consistent effort. In this article, I'm going to share
with you a simple and surefire way to promote your website - through article
marketing.

What do I mean by promoting your website? When I say promoting your website,
I'm talking about getting more websites linking to your website. That's
promotion and that's the most important thing you need to do after you have
launched your website. That is the main difference between a successful
website and a failed website.

Forget about link exchange. In most cases, if you have a new website,
chances are, other webmasters are not interested in linking to you! Also, it
takes a lot of time to search for link partners and convince them! I would
rather spend that time to create one more website. Think link exchange only
when you have a PR of 3. Use what I'm going to share with you to build your
website to PR3.

1. Submit articles to hundreds of article directories.

Create articles about your web site, add your own resource box/byline to the
articles and submit them to article directories. Remember to link to your
website through your keywords, not your url address. This will increase your
search engine ranking for the keywords.

Some of the article directories you can submit include:

www.ezinearticles.com
www.goarticles.com
www.articlecity.com
www.knowhowtips.org

2. Bookmarking

There are more than 50 bookmarking website your can bookmark your website.
Bookmarking websites have high PR and they are frequently visited by search
engine spider. This is another excellent way to gain one way traffic to your
website and even get your website listed!

Below are some of the bookmarking website you can use:

http://del.icio.us
http://www.furl.net
http://jots.com
http://linkroll.com

3. Blogging

Blog is another type of website frequently visited by search engine spider.
Do a search on the blog related to your website and post some useful
comments to the blog. This is how you can get some good links to your
website.

Commit yourself to spend 1 hour a week to do these three promotions. After 1
month, you will realize that you are automatically getting good ranking in
some non competitive keywords. By then, if you are monetizing through
adsense, you should be to earn 1-2 dollars a day. This should give you
enough motivation to continue promoting your website and add more pages to
your website.
