AndyB Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I assume you mean an increase in useful traffic? If so, the answer is "No, there are no shortcuts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_chou12 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 i dont know, but why does a site that I had on geocities get listed in google very quickly after i setup the webpages, but I dont seem to get the same effect for my own site that i built completely out of scratch? I checked my geocities page,and it doesnt even have meta keywords adn descriptions and things like those, however, I specially included them in my current site.

neylitalo Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Meta keywords and descriptions aren't as useful as you might think. The search engines are getting more intelligent every day, and base their rankings on content and reputation. In Google's case, they determine how reputable a website is by the number of links to it that their crawlers discover on other sites. If your site is linked to by thousands of other websites, that indicates that the site has some valuable stuff in it. Â SEO is a tricky bugger - google for "search engine optimization", and I'm sure you'll find a few tips and tricks to boost your rankings.

dustinnoe Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You may want to check out <a href="http://www.microformats.org">micro formats</a>. Espeicially using the rel attribute for links. The way your site links to others and others to you effects your ranking.  Also, look at your mark-up from the perspective of a machine. If it is easy for a machine to read then relevant content will be noticed which will increase your ranking.

dustinnoe Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah, the more sites that are linked to yours the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_chou12 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 yeah, i already linked to a lot of sites, however, there doesnt seem to be any visitors coming in, how long did it take for visitors to regularly visit your sites? because if i dont get more visitors, i will die from loneliness. :-\ Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
