1. Be Sure To Have Plenty Of Fresh Content.

Many find that the easiest way to accomplish a regular out put of fresh content, is, by using a daily blog. If your blog is attached to your website, then this can only encourage the search engines to regularly revisit and crawl your site.

Publish one to three paragraphs of targeted original content that relates well to the topic of your site. Remember to write regularly and encourage a following of readers with the use of a professional blogging platform, such as wordpress.

Some other ways to create daily content include;

1. Articles
2. HubPages
3. Squidoo Len's

2. Do Your Keyword Research.

Before you create the content for your daily blogs, go to the Free Keyword Researcher on our Free Biz Tools page and identify a keyword string of 2-4 words long to title your blog. http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

I have posted links to other keyword research tools on my hub, How To Write At HubPages To Increase Your Google Page Rank. Be sure to check out this page for more links on the topic of keyword research.

3.Submit Your Daily Blog/Content to Social Bookmarks

Share your content with your online network. The power of many bookmarks, comments and reviews of your content on various online social bookmarking sites, should not be underestimated.

The exact keyword string that you identify for you blog's title will be used in each submission. Change up the description for each submission.

4.Use The Main Keyword In The Title Of Your Bookmark Submissions.

This is best achieved by the headline of your content and placed in the second half of the title. Here is a simple example:

'Best Ways To Pickle Your Own Vegetables' (Remember to use whatever your main search keyword term is. In this case being 'pickle your own vegetables')

5. Slowly Build Links In Directories.

Having identified the keyword string that you want your index page to rank for be sure to use it in the title of your submissions.

Only do a couple of submissions each day.

7. Use Signatures in Forums That Have Do-Follow

Where you can, be sure to try and use your forum signature created around your main keyword string for your home page. Try to be the first page of responses to new posts and participate on long discussion threads that will are then consistently be pushed to the top of the main discussion page.

If you want to go all out so a search for major forums that allow Do-Follow signature links.

If you have not used forums as an internet traffic generation tool before, the process is fairly simple. You just,

1) Sign up and become a member of each forum. Make a profile page.

2) Create a signature with your keyword string that is hyperlinked to the destination page.

3) Without spamming, make about 25+ posts over a two week period and contribute to the community.

Tip: Make a compelling signature that encourages people to click - use color if you can. You'll be surprised how many unique visitors you will get from direct clicks.

10. Last But Not Least - Never Forget About Google Images.

Google image searches account for a large amount of traffic. Aim to put a click-able image in each of your daily blogs. A click-able image generates you more traffic, but it's only if you create your site images in a search engine friendly way.

The first thing to remember is that Google images shows a bunch of thumbnails and NOT your blog content. The picture should have high quality and interesting to your target audience. The next thing to remember is to ALWAYS use your main content keyword string to name the image, and the alt tag, and be sure it is also contained in your caption.
