Getting Indexed But No Hits? 
By: Chris Richardson 2006-05-22 Over in our forum WebProWorld there is a discussion going on how to get visitor traffic once your site is indexed by the search engines.
Here is what forum members are suggesting so far: - Personally, I would start writing good articles on the subject of your website, and submit to directories. Have you identified any keyphrases you want to rank for? Are you moving forward in ranking for those phrases in the major engines? - To increase your rankings you will need more relevant links with your keywords in the anchor text. Research you keywords with a product like wordpress http://wordpress.org/. - To get more hits, just try to update your content regularly, prepare blog, submit articles, submit your site in directories & use proper keywords. - The keywords/phrases you have targeted are too competitive and it is difficult for your site to rank well for them. Because your site seems to have a low page rank of 1 ... so, build more links, have more content on main page and your description meta tag is too short. - I really recommend using hover over effects on your links. at the moment, the menu feels dead to me and the top navigational bar too. people need to feel they are interacting with the site. at the moment the site feels very static and empty. Secondly, you need to include your page headings in < h1 > tags. this is VERY VERY important. include in your headings the KEYWORDS your trying to target for each page. and make sure your meta tags title for that specific page, matches or very similar to your heading. - Content content content! - Also understand your site is still fairly young and the websites you are competing with have been online for many years. Have you considered operating a PPC campaign while you build organic traffic? - Maybe you should add your site in some web directories. Check this: http://www.123promotion.co.uk/directorymanager/ But not too many at once or short timeframe. One of our expert authors Robert Nixon wrote an article recently with a few tips that is worth reading as well, Common Sense While Promoting Your Website. Do you have other suggestions on how a new site can get traffic? Add your ideas over at the WebProWorld forum. About the Author: Chris is a staff writer for iEntry, focusing on the search industry. |
