We said A-Z and we meant it. Here are 26 sure-fire ways to increase web traffic and site visitors to your website. Use some or all of them, and let us know which ones worked best for you.

Website Optimization:-

1. Customize your 404 error page. Whether you like it or not people will get 404 errors on your website. Maybe they will misspell your URLs, maybe someone will link to an inexistent page inside your website, and so on. If you use a normal 404 error page, visitors will simply move on to another website. If you customize your 404 error page to include some useful links, however, you’ll channel these visitors to other parts of your site, thus increasing your traffic.

2. Interlink your pages. This strategy will increase your traffic in two ways. First of all it will allow your visitors to explore your website more easily, increasing the number of pages views per visit. Secondly, it will also improve your search

Bloggers can make cash in with Google’s AdSense network. Instead of posting blinking lights, cheap animation and a bobbing and bouncing monkey (or the paper football, although I totally rock at that one) Google matches vertical or horizontal blocks of text with the content of the web page. The ads don’t blink or jump around. Instead, they match or relate to the topic at hand, so the reader isn’t seized with the immediate need to get it off the screen right now no matter what it costs.

Traffic goes up, income goes up. Making money on the Internet – it may be the World Wide Web’s Holy Grail. Still, despite the simplicity, there are several steps savvy bloggers can take to give AdSense added oomph.

You probably know by now that Google is taking serious measure to rid it's search engine result pages from duplicated content. It is frustrating to see MFA pages when you are doing your search. These MFA pages used scripts to publish other's articles and blogs. These are duplicate content.

Google, in doing so, also penalizes websites that have different URLs pointing to the same page.

All market is full with lots of tools that promise top 10 positions in Google,100000 backlinks in seconds and other cracks.
I will give you a list of things to NOT to do in a link building strategie.

1) Do not submit your site to more than 50 directories in a month.This are types of directories where are you sure your  site will appear.

Submit to more and you will get the sandbox effect upon your site.

The basics are the same as always, to get your site or article indexed by a search engine as fast as possible you need quality links pointing to your site/article. Google often visits quality sites that hold quality links and if a link to your site happens to be there Google will follow it and Oooops stumble upon your site and index it.
It used to be hard for someone who was completely new to internet to get his site indexed. You had no other sites you could put your link on so you had to beg your friends or even people you dont know to give you a link, or you submitted your site to Google and hoped for the best or you ended buying links.
Today this is in the past. All you need to do is to submit your site to as many social posting sites as you can. If your site is good and usefull other people might bookmart it to and add more quality to the link but even if they don’t your site will still be indexed pretty darn quick.

There is one hard and fast rule in generating income with your site: A constant flow of website traffic. If no one goes to your website, it hardly bares a chance of making any money. BUT, it doesn't take a ton of cash to generate targeted traffic.Here are the top 3 ways to generate free traffic to your website.

1) Exchange Links
This is a very effective method. Just about every webpage has at least one outbound link on it.  Most site owners are willing to exchange links with another related site.  A major prerequisite in trading links with other websites is having the same niche.

10 Easy SEO Tips for Blogspot Bloggers to Improve Search Engine Rankings

1. Make Your Title Tags Search Engine Friendly
One of the most important tweaks necessary for Blogspot Blogs is theadjustment of the title tags of your website because Blogger.com by default has not optimized these for search engines. To prove this point navigate to an individual post on your blog and you will see that the blogname appears first in the title bar at the top of your browser followed by the post name. As search engines place greater value on the first words of an entry this puts your site at a disadvantage in search engine results. Fortunately it is easy to reverse the blog name and the post name with a simple tweak. For instructions on how to change the order of these title tags please refer to my article entitled Adjust Blogger Title Tags to Improve SEO

It provides a set of simple step by step instructions to guide you through the process of adding a sitemap to Google. By following this tutorial you will have your Blogspot sitemap added to Google in less than 5 minutes flat.

Why Add a Sitemap to Google?
As Google owns the Blogger.com platform most sites are indexed by Google automatically. However, you might find as I have done that this process doesn't always run as smoothly or as quickly as you might like. Manually adding a sitemap to Google has some distinct advantages:

It is very important as a new blogger that you gain good readership and commentators. It is only possible if you display your blogs to others. As always, one easy method that you can adopt to increase your traffic is to use sites like EasyHits4U(Review about this site), TrafficSwarm, etc.. The most important thing that you need to do in order to increase the traffic to your blog is to submit your blog/site to various Search Engines.

I found the below site that will submit your site to various search engines. However, I suggest you to index your blog individually with Google.

Creating a sitemap, now with software technology surging in, is relatively easier than before.  You need not be a programming guru to be one. All need is a notepad, a program editor, and some patience. Here’s how you do it:

Create the listing on a notepad.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a notepad. Any word processing program will do. First off, make sure to type in all the parts and pieces of your website. Include all pages and all links you have. Create it as if you listing the contents of your book. Make a draft first. You’re sure no to miss something out this way.

Create a new page for your sitemap.
