Simple Steps To More Web Traffic
When designing and building a website or webpage for your product or service or affiliate produce, you must think about how you can make your pages more web browser friendly.
More page views means more web traffic = more visitors.
While Search Engine Optimization is a a large subject, beyond the scope of this article, there are some simple things that you can do when designing your pages to include S.E.O. From the very start.
The first thing to consider is - what search terms and phrases are your prospective visitors using.
To get targeted web traffic, begin by optimizing the pages of your website for your target visitors. Optimize your pages around 'their needs'.
How do you know what keywords or phrases they are using for their search. You do a little simple research.
Go to

And enter the keyword or phrase related to your website or product, you think they will use.
Ask yourself, if YOU were looking for what your site has to offer, what would YOU type into the search engines. The results will give you a rough idea which keywords are being searched for, and will show you related terms you may not have thought about or considered.
Compile a list of search terms most relevant to your site or what you have to offer.
You want more web traffic so what simple steps can you take to at the very least make a start.
After your keyword research you will now have an idea of what they are searching for, so include your chosen keywords and phrases both in your tags (more later) and on the page.
When using on your page in the body copy, manage your keyword density - that is how many times your keyword or phrase is used on that page. Do not overuse, this will be classed as keyword spamming. When used it should read naturally and make sense. Don't use your keyword just for the sake of using it.
You have done your research, now what.
Put it to use on your web pages. Below is a very basic html page but this will give you the principles on how to use it, and the tags.
But first about META tags
Here are some META tags you can use.
description description of your page. Show at the top of the browser but not on the page.
keywords list of keywords best suited to your page
copyright your copyright notice
generator ie the software that created the page
How these can be used between the head tags is shown below.
<html> Signifies an html document
<head> Beginning of header information
<title> Put the title of your page. Try to include keyword </title> signifies end of title
<META name="description"content="More Web Traffic">
<META name="keywords"content="traffic, more web traffic, targeted web traffic">
<META name="copyright"content="(c) http://www.yourwebsiteaddress.com/2008">
<META name="generator"content="your web page software">
</head> end of header info
<body> beginning of body, what will be seen in the browser
<p> paragraph 1 </p> end of paragraph
<p> paragraph 2 </p>
</body> end of body of document
</html> end of html document
Although all of your page is important, make sure that you optimize between the <head> and </head> tags ie your title and your META tags
There's a lot more to getting more traffic and Search Engine Optimization, but even small changes can help those searching for your subject find your page.
