\no Crashing The Traffic Party – How To Use The World’s Top Sites
\nTo Promote Your Own Site<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Most times, common sense is the only Internet marketing strategy you need.
\nAll you have to do is use some simple reasoning to achieve your goals, many
\ntimes it is only a matter of using your head to figure out the easiest route
\nto success.<\/p>\n

For example, one of the hardest obstacles to overcome for most webmasters
\nis getting enough traffic to their sites. You need traffic if your site is
\nto succeed – plain and simple. You must have traffic and lots of it.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t take a genius to realize, in order to get traffic you must go to
\nthe places\/sites that have the majority of the traffic on the web. These top
\nsites command enormous amounts of traffic each day and they get thousands
\nof visitors each second.<\/p>\n

So it stands to reason, you must put or place your site into this whole traffic
\nmix of these top sites. Fortunately, this is very easily done without too
\nmuch work on your part, but it may mean joining many of these top sites and
\ndoing some self-promotion.<\/p>\n

First up, you have to tackle the search engines which represent or controls
\nmuch of the quality traffic on the web. People use these sites to find what
\nthey’re looking for on the net, you must get your site listed\/ranked on these
\nsearch engines, especially Google.<\/p>\n

Google is the number one site in the world and until Bing\/Yahoo replaces it,
\nyou must gear your site towards Google. This is not difficult, actually, it
\nis quite simple. One of the keys to getting listed and ranked well in this top
\nsite of the web is quality unique content. Just create unique quality
\ncontent on your site and Google will notice you and send you traffic.<\/p>\n

I like taking a holistic approach to Google, it is not simply a search
\nengine, it is much, much more. You have to tie your site into all the many
\ndifferent facets of Google – use iGoogle to create your profile,
\nuse Google Products to promote your products, use YouTube to promote
\nyour videos, use Google News to promote your latest news or articles,
\nuse Google Docs to promote your PDF files and ebooks, use Blogger to
\npromote your blogs and RSS feeds… and the list goes on.<\/p>\n

By incorporating or totally immersing your site into the Google online
\njuggernaut, you will receive plenty of quality traffic. I also like to
\nconnect my sites with the commercial side of Google by using Adwords
\nand buying search traffic. I also use Google Adsense on my sites to
\noff-set the cost of buying that traffic. Actually, truth be told, I spend
\nthe majority of my time – adjusting, optimizing and promoting my content
\nwithin Google. <\/span>
\n
\nWhy?<\/b>
\n<\/span>
\nWe have to go back to the common sense factor again, my traffic logs
\nand stats show that Google sends me around 80% of my traffic. It is
\nonly natural that I concentrate on optimizing my site and content
\nto please Google. But that doesn’t mean I ignore the other search
\nengines or the other top sites on the web, just the opposite is true.<\/p>\n

Mainly because Google has a complex algorithm they use to rank sites and
\ncontent on the web. One major overriding part of these 200 or so ranking
\nfactors is how well your site is connected with other sites\/content on the
\nweb. Getting backlinks from high PR sites is vital for achieving high
\nrankings. Webpages are given PageRank from 0 to 10, with 10 being the best.<\/p>\n

Now, by actively connecting\/promoting your site within the top
\nsites on the web, you’re telling Google your site is important.
\nMoreover, web users are telling Google your site\/content is important
\nand relevant. Getting backlinks on top sites like Wikipedia, YouTube,
\nAbout.com, Ask.com… will tell Google your content matters to web surfers.
\nLikewise, getting your content bookmarked in all the social networking
\nsites like Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Flickr, Twitter… will tell Google
\nand the other search engines your content is relevant.<\/p>\n

Proving that your content is relevant will be one of the major keys
\nto getting top rankings, especially in Google. Therefore, connecting
\nyour content with all the major sites on the web makes sense, no matter
\nhow you view it. Having your content discussed, bookmarked and linked
\nto will make all the difference in the world to the success of your
\nsite.<\/p>\n

Now, as mentioned before, getting your site\/content connected and linked
\nfrom these top sites is not difficult. Simply join many of these sites
\nand create profiles, submit content, add your links and so on. Another
\nway is to make it easy for your site’s content to be bookmarked in many
\nof these top social media sites. I like using a simple button like the one
\nfrom AddThis.com which makes it easy for your visitors to bookmark your
\ncontent for you. Again, common sense and simple practicality win the day.<\/p>\n

So is your site well connected to the top sites on the web? Does
\nit have a presence in all these high volume traffic sites? If the
\nanswer is no, then your site is probably missing out on a lot of
\nfree traffic which it could be getting. Just make a conscious effort
\nto involve and connect your site\/content with many of these top
\nsites on the web. You will be pleasantly surprised with the results
\nof your efforts. So start mingling now!<\/p>\n
