Web traffic is the main thing that keeps an online business alive. If people don't visit your site, nobody can know that you have anything to offer. Web traffic is the key to making money online for affiliate marketers.

You should not just be interested in any traffic. You should seek for targeted traffic to your website. Targeted traffic means your website is visited by people who really need the products you are offering.

SEO, or search engine optimization is the best way to get targeted traffic to your site. With good SEO, you can be sure to make money online. These are the ten SEO techniques or tactics that can give you good result and help you make money:

1. On-page optimization - This means you should make sure the content on your web pages contain relevant text related to the niche you are targeting. For instance, if your site is about playing golf, the web content should be related to topics on how to play golf. Not only that, the title of the content should contain H1 tags and be keyword-rich to reflect the needs of the web visitors you are targeting. To give your content power, you should also include sub-topic with H2 tags. In terms of the body of the content, let the text contain relevant keywords in line with the keywords in the title and the subtopic. It is better for the keyword in the body of the content to have a density of between 5% and 10%. Accepted keyword density could also vary depending on the niche you are targeting.

2. Submit your site to search engines - Submitting your site to the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing is to let them be aware of the existence of your site. After creating your site, make sure you submit the main url to these main search engines. After some hours, days or weeks, the bots will crawl your site to add the web pages to their index. It is better to manually submit your site to each of these search engines instead of using automated means through other sites for submission.

3. Article writing and article submission - Write good articles with relevant keywords and submit to the article directories. There are thousands of article directories on the internet that you can submit to. However, submitting to the major ones could be sufficient. You could submit to EzineArticles, GoArticles, ArticlesBase and another 2 of your choice.

4. Directories submissions - Submitting your site to the directories is a great way to increase your search engine ranking. In most cases, submitting to these directories could help your site to be indexed fast instead of waiting for the search engines to come visiting. There are niche-based directories and general directories. Try to submit to both but placing emphasis on directories that are focused on your niche.

5. Social bookmarking - This means submitting your sites to websites that allow users to save web pages that they want to remember. These web pages are usually stored on these social bookmarking sites in the form of metadata.

6. Forum posting with url signatures - You should join a forum and add your website link as a signature. Look to join a forum that is based on your niche and also a foum that is general in nature. Through the signature people can get to know your site. Another advantage is that you could easily get backlinks to your site. NOTE: Forum posting can help you get backlinks but do not rely solely on getting backlinks this way.

7. Blog commenting on relevant blogs - Blog commenting is leaving useful comments on other blogs related to your niche. Instead of just spamming all blogs on the internet with your website url, visit good authority blogs and leave useful comments. Comments of this nature improve the chances of your comment being approved on these high pagerank sites. Leaving comments this way could increase even get your comments approved for DoFollow blogs

8. Get one way backlinks - One way backlinks are links on other sites with your site url and relevant anchor text. This kind of backlinks are powerful and can boost your search engine ranking because the links are a form of "vote" for your site from other sites.

9. Get .Gov or .Edu backlinks - .gov and .edu backlinks are very powerful because they are from sites that are related to government, schools and public institutions. These sites usually have high pagerank because of their importance. Therefore, getting some backlinks, especially, one-way, would greatly help your website ranking.

10. Open up a blog related to your site and promote it - Creating a blog to promote your main money-making site is helpful for SEO. If your main website is a product review site or a site selling other affiliate products, creating a blog offering free information to people is a great way to promote your main site. The blog will always have visitors leaving comments on your blog and asking questions about things related to your product. With time, you can even use the blog to build backlinks while your main site then gets links from the blog.

    I think submitting websites to search engines specially Google is not needed at all. As i know Google likes to index and find new website while its crawling pages. I mean for getting indexed in Google, its better that you make backlink for your website from quality pages instead of manual submitting it in Google.

    • You may say it is not needed. Not that it is not necessary. If not, the search engines would not have created pages for site url submission.

        I've never submitted to google and my sites get indexed in less than 24 hrs.

        Just saying that I wouldn't spend any time on it compared to other methods.

      Google prefers to "find" new sites, so don't bother submitting. It's not necessary, and you can get a new site indexed in one day (or ten minutes) if you know what you're doing.

      Example: I created a one page Wordpress.com blog several weeks ago. Instead of "submitting" it to Google -- and waiting weeks or months -- I put the URL of the new blog in Backlink Booster and hit the "Boost It!" button. Ten minutes later, my new blog was in Google. Backlink Booster instantly blasted my blog to a long list of Ping sites, RSS feeds & Web 2.0 sites, so Google had no choice but to "find" it.
