How to Get Non-stop Free Traffic to Your Website
Yet the simple truth is that without traffic a website cannot be successful. Lack of traffic really need not be a problem because there are various free, proven ways of generating traffic that will cost you nothing but get you lots of traffic without you having to spend anything.
Search engines are a major source of traffic and yet effective search engine optimization does not need to cost you a penny. The key here is the content in your site. Well-written "killer" content will go a long way in getting you the desired attention from search engines. Focus on ensuring that your keywords are generously littered all over your copy. In your title, meta tags, headers, as well as the top and bottom portion of your website. Then ensure that you are constantly adding fresh content to your site. This will definitely get you the desired attention and resultant traffic from leading search engines.
Then you can then guarantee repeat traffic by publishing an online or email newsletter. Write interesting articles or supply valuable tips to your list and they will keep on coming back to your site and also talking to others about it.
Discussion forums are still highly effective traffic generation tools. Carefully select the ones that match your website target market most closely and then visit them regularly to share your expertise and knowledge. Include your resource box with your website link right below your post. You will be surprised at the volume of traffic that this simple action can generate for your site.
Writing and posting articles to other websites, your blog, article directories and announcement groups, is a very effective way of creating permanent regular traffic to your website. Things will get very interesting for you when the viral effect takes over and your articles get re-posted in hundreds and then thousands of other sites all over the web. And with your link still intact in the resource box.
Using these methods you can generate a sizeable volume of traffic to your website and ultimately succeed in a major way in your online enterprise.

SEO, the Simplified Version
Lets get things straight. SEO is a very competitive market. If you have the time to promote your site and have the energy to work hard to get a good PR then this is for you. I have read many books on SEO and tried to get the best tactics to use. If you have already built a website there are two things you need to do. First is ON PAGE optimizing and the second is OFF Page optimizing. On page is basically getting your meta tags and description tags similar to the pages that you have built. One key thing to remember is try to use tags with the keywords in your content. For example: if you have keywords like "SEO consultant" in you content you should bold it and put alt tags around it. Try to do this to each keyword per paragraph, don't over do it then google will think you're a spammer. Build pages according to you keywords and description tags.

Hens Lay Eggs (HLE) by Silke Stahl
"HLE" is a bit of a joke term, (or possible tongue in cheek could be a better label) coined in my Network Marketing Group - it stands for "Hens Lay Eggs" and is a take on the exponential growth theory - recruit two people, who recruit two, etc, and in six weeks you'll have 50,000 people sending you $250,000 - the false promise of MLM.

The Need of Popularity
In very simple words, the link popularity of your site means the amount of links coming to you from another sites. Every major search engine heavily weighs the link popularity of sites when ranking sites. Some engines even claims they won't index sites that don't have at least one link pointing to them from another site. Why they are doing that ? Just because zero popularity means that nobody has an interest related to your site content. Since nobody is interested, why search engines should consider it ? From their point of view zero popularity is a time wasting. Under the above circumstances, the link popularity of your site becomes very important to you, especially if you aim to earn traffic by indexing your site in search engines directories.
