Internet Secrets

Tips for getting people visiting your site.

The Basics:

  • Write a paragraph about who, what you are that describes you and your purpose here in cyberspace. At least 50 words. (This can be used as the site's meta description.)
  • Write keywords that describe everything you are. (think about what other people will think of in order to find your site.)
  • Write some keywords of categories that your website would fall under.
  • Use all of those keywords in your metatags and most importantly use them throughout the content of your site.
  • Links: Use plenty of links from your pages to other areas of interest that are relevant to your content. Think about what other websites will be useful to people who are looking at your site.
  • Also contact those other website owners and ask them to do you the same favor by adding your link to their links area..
  • Publicize your website in the real world too! On your personal cards, on your real world brochures, on your car, on your signage. Anywhere where you can show your web address to people in the real world. Do it. You won't be sorry.
  • Have promotions, free gifts for your visitors, special offers etc. That will entice people to visit your site again and tell their friends about it. Be creative and give as much value to people as you can. The golden rule is that no-one will visit your site unless it is valuable to them.
