Hello,
I just joined the forum today. I own an internet store and I am currently working on increasing traffic. I haven't had too much luck with PPC using adwords so far. Looking for some suggestions for driving more keyword related users toward my site and getting it to index better.

I have read about link building techniques and others but have a hard time figuring out what methods are outdated and how to prioritize the most important factors and what should be attempted first!

Any suggestions, please let me know!

    First of all, welcome to the forum

    As isha has said, link building and SEO are great ways to get traffic.

    Stuff like link wheels, which can include unique content being submitted to Hubpages, Squidoo, Blogspot, Zimbio, etc.

    Creating unique, interesting and keyword targeted articles with personalty can mean the difference between someone using your site; and that same person leaving and finding another site that grabs their attention.

    Depending on your store, PPC may not work; you can always try PPV networks as well, experimenting with different things is always good as you get a good indication of what works and what doesn't.

    If you are up for getting free traffic, you could do article marketing or social networking sites. Submitting a few articles to Ezine Articles, Squidoo, and Hubpages will help get backlinks.

    Welcome to the forum. This place is great and you can get a wealth of knowledge here.

    But to explain everything about link building and traffic generation would be a bit much for just this one thread. I would recomend spending some time everyday jus tto read throught different threads in the forum. Almost anything you might need has already been asked.

    Now I know that this will take some time so I would suggest you write a few keyword targeted articles and put them up on EzineArticles.com and create a squidoo lens or two. This will help you get some traffic now plus they are great sources for links.

    Welcome to the Forum! You'll want to focus on Off-Page SEO.
    Stick to one link-building method and strive to do at least 50 to 100 links per month using ONLY that method.
    Try to get links back to as many pages as you can within your website. Don't simply focus your links on the homepage.

    bestvape...Welcome to Warrior Forum, there is not doubt that you have come to the right place for information. Now, before I answer your questions let me give you a word of advice. Take your time here seriously as the majority of us do and you will get far. I know that for beginners using the search button can seem confusing, especially since very often it is hard to find an exact answer to your questions, but do use the search button first before asking. Don't just open a thread for the simple pleasure of opening a thread and dropping a link. Many experienced warriors take offense to that. You will find TONS of information here, but remember that you should never take everything literally. The information is meant to educate you, help guide you and let you decide on your own what is the best way you can resolve your situation. Follow the rules, respect and you will be respected.

    On that note... What everyone has recommended here is very good, however before you initiate any marketing campaign I recommend you hire an SEO analyst to verify that your site is optimized. I can give you some pointers on SEO optimization but an expert can help you best.

    On page SEO requires an assortment of techniques to be implemented on your site in order to make it search engine friendly. Some of these are: 1. Keyword and phrase optimization and placement. 2. H1 and H2 optimization with keywords 3. Meta Tags, 4. High quality and original content

    Off page optimization is the process by which you develop backlinks:
    1- Forum posting
    2- Blog Commenting
    3- Article writing and submission - your articles should be of high quality and content rich. There should be a balance between keywords and information. The articles should be well written and conversational. NEVER stuff them with keywords, as Search engines dislike this and will disregard them.
    4- Social Bookmarking

    You can also develop an advertising campaign, you can use both FREE and paid services. Know the difference between all the different promotional methods. For example someone recommended a traffic exchange, and one thing a lot of people fail to understand is that traffic exchanges achieve more than bringing you traffic, the BRAND your site. Because of the repetitive method of the surf page (where your site gets exposed multiple times during a surf session) your site gets branded. It has been proven time and again that it takes a customer up to 7 times to see an AD before they can identify the product, the brand and even convert into a sale.

    I hope you have found some answers here, if not do not be afraid to ask more questions or even PM any warrior. I am sure there are plenty of people that will be willing to give you a Free word of advice.
