A few free means of increasing traffic, url submitting

[Atlanta Mike]

I'm new here and I don't know if any of these methods have been openly posted before, however, some of these have worked for me:

1. Link exchange. If anyone wants to link exchange with me email me at atlmike@michaelzubick.com. If you link exchange your site you increase traffic. link2me.com offers a link exchange directory. The more sites that have your site linked will allow for you have better rankings in (for example) google because google bot will find your page off other people's links to it.

2. Meta tags. There are free meta tag generators and what not available if you google them. I personally used ineedhits.com. SelfPromoter.com is a good way to submit your site to multiple engines at once.

3. Use less flash! Although I break this rule on my sites, less flash=friendliness to search engine robots.

4. Sign guestbooks of very popular sites and include your url if they provide an url: box to fill out. Do Not Spam Your Url!

5. Comment in people's blogs, see number 4.

These are what I can think of off the top of my head. When I registered one of my domains I posted it on Bob Parson's blog (the guy who made godaddy.com) and I failed to realize my url would be on google the next morning. Good luck!
