The Naked Truth About Website Traffic

Outside of quality content on pages of your website, links (internally & externally) is sound advice. In fact, just optimizing your internal website link strategy can rank you much higher.

For external back links, make sure you:

• Use the keyword/phrase in the anchor text - use the keyword you want to be ranked for
• Make sure you get a link from a relevant page. 10 links is much better than 100 links if relevant.
• Ensure that the link goes to a relevant page - your landing page - with a “call-to-action” message
• Any link from an authority site is good - this creates trustrank and pagerank for yourself.
• Getting links from blogs and related sites is great - but make sure that the link doesn’t have a no-follow on it. Check your HTML source, or install SEO Book tool for Firefox, and it will automatically highlight it for you.

Tip: Social linking (social neworks and bookmarking sites) can and will bring you traffic, but not all sites will pass link juice. You can get links from web2.0 sites http://www.techcrunch40.com/2007/index.php  and http://www.go2web20.net

That will help you get started.
