How To Increase traffic and get a better rank on Google
By Tony Farrell (c) Copyright 2004
You have a business you want to promote. Youre looking for more traffic to your web site. But, how do you get that traffic and how do you get it for nothing?
Heres a technique I use to increase web site traffic and get a better rank on Google. But, you need your own web site first. This wont work for your otherwise.
Having said that, even if you dont own a web site you should follow some of the steps here. The reason will become very clear nearer the end of this email.
What you are doing is researching for sites with a Google page rank of at least 4 and upwards that are relevant to the content of your site. Then link with them and have them link back to you.
To do this set up another page on your site for the purpose of including good quality links from other relevant sites.
Heres how to do it...
1. Download Alexa Toolbar and install it on your computer. Get it here: http://download.alexa.com/index.cgi?p=Dest_W_b_40_T1
2. Download Goole Toolbar and install it on your computer. Get it here: http://toolbar.google.com/
3. Create a "Spreadsheet" using "Excel" and create a colum for each of the following...
URL, Contact Email, Owners Name, Alexa Link Popularity, Google Rank, Contact 1, Contact 2, Contact 3, Link Accepted.
4. Go to Google Search Engine and key in a relevant keyword to your niche site.
5. When the results come up, go to each site (including the Google Ads that may come along with it)
6. Upon arriving at each site the first thing to check for is the Alexa Traffic Rank that shows up on your Alexa Toolbar. Aim for a traffic rank of 100,000 or less. Anything more than 100,000 leave the site and look for another one.
7. Next, look for the Google Page Rank. Aim for a PR (Page Rank) of "4" or more. Less than this leave the site and look for another one.
8. If you are happy with the Page Rank on Google and the Traffic Rank on Alexa, then place all relevant details on the spreadsheet youve created. Then move onto the next site.
9. Do this until you are satisfied with the number of possible contacts. You probably should aim to get 5 - 10 sites a day. Keep this up until you have reached the desired number of links you want on your page.
10. Set up a page on your own site and call it something like "Partner Links".
11. Now you need to put a link to their site from your niche mini site. Grab a bit of text from their site and place it in your "Partner Links" page. Then turn that text into a link to their site.
12. Email each web site owner letting the know who you are and that you placed a link to their site from your site. Then request that they link back to you. If they dont then just take their link down.
13. When you contact the web site owner, just place the date of contact on you spreadsheet under the colum "Contact 1". Any other contacts should be placed on the other "Contact" colums.
14. Whether a link has been accepted or not, just place a "Y" (for YES) or a "N" (for NO) in the colum entitled "Link Accepted".
Thats it. I have done this for my site and am starting to see an better rank on Alexa and beginning to increase my PR rank on Google.
The thing with this method of getting a better rank on Google is that its very time consuming and requires persistence on a daily basis. But it will work. Also, dont expect a positive response from every web site owner. Most likely youll get more rejections than acceptances. Just carry on regardless.
The other thing is that you should ensure that you look for a Traffic Ranking of 100,000 or less on Alexa. This means that you are looking for high traffic web sites. This means a better chance of people clicking on your site. It only makes sense.
Also, you dont need millions of links from just any site to gain a better rank in Google. You need good quality links and this is a good method to do this. Thats why I suggest looking for sites that have a Google PR rank of "4" or higher.
Remember I said that even if you dont have a web site you should follow some of the steps here? Well heres why...
The sites that have accepted your links are your future "Potential JV Partners". Theyre your number one contact names for Joint Ventures. Theyre the first people you contact with your offers for their customers and subscribers.
As youve done the research, dont just let all that work just sit there once youve created your link exchanges. Youve just started a relationship with those people and you should make use of that opportunity. Even contact those who have not accepted a link to your site. Treat them as secondary contacts for Joint Venture purposes.
Just get crackin on this immediately.
