Seo means search engine optimization. It is a marketing process of getting a website into top rankings in all search engines for relevant keywords. Over 80% of the visitors are coming through search engines only. If you promote your website to search engines there is a chance of getting a huge traffic for your website.

For getting listed in search engines all you need is a unique title for your website, relevant description and Meta tags.

Here are the steps for getting high search ranking for your website:

Title: Your title must be relevant to your content. Include your keywords in the title which helps crawlers to generate high search engine ranking for your website targeted keywords.

Description: Description for your website must relevant to the information that you offer on your website. Include all your targeted keywords in your description under 250 characters. Description is the one which is used by search engines while indexing your website.

Content is the king: The content of your website must be genuine. Search engines consider your website as spam if you use duplicate content. Include all the targeted keywords in your content meaningfully.

Backlinks: The most important technique that brings your website into a top position in all search engines is backlinking. If your website having more no of links then there is a chance of getting a high ranking in all search engines.

Forums: Participate in discussion forums. Suggest valuable comments. Forums also bring a good amount of traffic for your website. Post valuable content in the forums, don't advertise.

I agree with most of what you say. However not sure about your statement around duplicate content. This seems to be very debated topic on the forum. Some people think its bad some people think its good. I am not entirely sure. However I will say that I have had two articles that are exactly the same on two different directlys and both rank and receive traffic.

An important consideration is missing; if you want traffic (who doesn't?) then you need to find out how many searches there are for the keywords you are optimizing for. If you ignore this, you can certainly rank #1 in Google for lots of keywords - but that doesn't mean that you will get a single visit IF NO ONE IS SEARCHING FOR THEM.

Step one for getting traffic is: determine how many searches are being made for the keyword you have in mind. Beyond that, you have to deal with the competition for all that traffic, but if there are hardly any searches, move on or waste a lot of time hoping for some.

Been there, done that, sadder and wiser now.

Fully agree with all the posts above. Most important, as RobertSeviour suggested, keyword searches is the top one. You need to make sure that enough people are looking for something you wish to offer. Targeted audience is the most valuable piece in the entire puzzle.
