The most effective and consistent way of driving visitors to your site is by submitting it to the search engines. Just a few major search engines like Yahoo! and specially Google, are believed to be responsible for 95% of all traffic to websites, but making your site to come up in the first places for specific keyword combinations on those engines requires both having a sizable and relevant content and technical expertise in arranging that copy in a way that balances three goals:

  • Being attractive to the search engines so your site ranks high, taking into account content and technical issues
  • Containing useful information your visitor is looking for.
  • Copy that sell your products or services.

Find your niche: Is far easier to have a good position in the search if your focus your attention in a reduced set of keywords for a specific target audience than if you are vague and unspecific.
