Setting up your website so the search engines love it is vital to your business being relevant to the internet spiders that crawl your pages.  Doing all the basics that SEO experts tell you for optimizing you pages is essential for to get traffic to your website.  

Once all of this is done, it is worthless unless you also promote your website in the right ways to bring you direct traffic from clicks on your links, and from search engine results.  If you throw up great, SEO optimized pages, and do nothing, you will get nothing.

So here are three very simple steps you can put into action immediately to start promoting your online business, and get traffic to your website:

1. Create an Opt-in Form on your website.

The easiest way to get repeat visitors and repeat buyers is to create and opt in list.  You do this by placing an opt in form on your website.  It is connected through autorepsonder software that is designed to handle your email database, and broadcast messages to your customers.

This database enables you to literally tell your customers when and why to come back to your site.  If your site is relevant and full of good content, they will do exactly as you tell them.  This is highly targeted traffic.

2. Write Great Articles and Post them in Article Directories.

Writing articles, or article marketing, is very powerful.  Using the keyword phrases of your niche site to create short, informative articles will bring you direct traffic for life.  It will also create a steady new flow of back links that raises your relevance to the search engines.

Your relevance is everything to a spider.  Posting 2 or more articles per week will help you build a powerful pool of inbound links to your website.  Check out the top 50 directories and start posting.  You have everything to gain by promoting your website this way.

3. Good Use of Press Releases.

Study the online press releases, and start creating some for your site.  You’ll be amazed at how much direct web traffic this creates, and it is very highly targeted.

By posting your press leases to press release sites, you get traffic to your website directly from the release, as well as new back links.  The back links from press release sites are very relevant and powerful from the eyes of a search engine spider.  So learn how to promote your site this way as soon as possible.
