Getting targeted free website traffic is the key to build profitable online business and make money

Getting targeted free website traffic by submitting your site to search engines is a vital step in promoting your online business. It is worth spending some time to understand this.

All other methods of online advertising (both free and paid like traffic exchange, banner exchange, safe lists etc.) are not effective in getting targeted hits to your site. Other people want to advertise their sites and hence either view your site or receive your mails and rarely spend some time on your site. As you are doing the same (by using those methods) you cannot blame them.

Everyone believes that his business is the best and that others will definitely join that. Some people want to make quick money and take up a fraudulent scheme and try to promote it like mad putting up eye catching web pages.

Targeted hits on the other hand represent people who are searching for information. Suppose a mother wants to find out why her child is not eating well she searches the web for information about this topic. For this she depends on search engines and using key words (important words about a topic) gets the information she wants.

Open google.com website, type the words my baby is not eating well in the search box and click on search. You will see thousands of websites listed on hundreds of pages. You can visit those sites by clicking on the respective links. My site appears on the first page.

People rarely search more than 3 pages of results. That means those sites, which occupy the first 20 to 30 positions for a search, get the maximum number of visitors and get maximum number of sales. It follows that in order to get many sales your site should be in the first 20-30 listings. This is the essence of search engine optimization [SEO].

How do search engines rank a site and how do they find a site containing the information searched for? The search engines use a software called spider, which goes into the World Wide Web looking for sites, which contain the key words.

Then using a complicated algorithm rank the web sites and display the sites according to ranking. This ranking is called page ranking [PR]. Sites enjoying high PR are listed at the top of search results.

In order to get high page ranking your site needs to have good content, use the right key words in your meta tags and also try to get a link to your site from other sites.
