How does a webmaster increase the number of visitors to a website?
Part 1.
 VISIT WEBSITE (learn more)
|
Most of the search engines above also feed search results of other engines, so by submitting to them, you are submitting your site to several search engines. You may try other search engines, but in our modest opinion it is not worth it. A complete list of search engines is available at Wikipedia.
For a better indexing of your website, do not forget to include Meta Tags on each page, and add a robots.txt file in your site's main folder. Additionally, site maps can improve search engine optimization of your site by making sure that all pages can be found. And add a Favicon.ico to your site.
Is submitting my site enough?
No. Indexing will take up to 8 weeks, but this is not enough to start getting visitors. Being at the top of the search results depends mostly (but not only) on the popularity of your site, and a new site is not popular at all. Google's PageRank is the reference link analysis algorithm for the importance/popularity of a webpage. The higher the PageRank, the more visitors are likely to visit you from the results of searching in search engines.
In case you are using a popular free hosting service, robots may never visit your site. It is convenient to have your own site with your own domain name. In case you do not have one, you can check 6 international extensions here (fast search without graphics). you should not have to pay over $10 per year (check for "register domain" at search engines).
A simple strategy to increase popularity
Let's suppose your site includes an html tutorial. You will need to search for "html tutorial" at Google (or another search engine). The search results will show as a list of sites. Copy the URL of one site, which is related to your topic (for example " www.htmltutor.com "), and find who is linking to them by pasting the domain into at Google's search engine (p.e.: "link:http:// www.htmltutor.com "). Some of the pages linking to that site are probably pages including links to several html tutorials. Visit them one by one and ask the webmaster to add a link to your site. This procedure is very time consuming, but it is very effective to increase your position at search engines.
In case you already have a website, consider adding a link to your new page.
