1.Make sure you use a paid web host. There are many reasons for this but the main reason is that pages hosted on free hosts do not have the search engine rankings that paid ones do. They are also often ad supported and these ads are not appealing to visitors. Another down side is that you often do not have your own domain name and this can reduce your website traffic as well.

2.Write articles and post them in article directories and submit them to websites and ezines for publication. Even if you do not consider yourself a writer, you can find a topic or topics about which you can write something. Use correct spelling and grammar and find something unique to say or take a unique twist on something old. You will be surprised at what you are able to write.

3.Create a blog and make sure you update it often. Blogs are often indexed by search engines quicker than regular websites and you can link to your website from it and increase traffic to your main site.
4.Use more than one domain name for the same site. People will have more than one way to find your site.

5.Make sure you use proper metadata. This means inserting the correct title words and search terms into your html. Imagine what words you would use when looking for your site and then add them in.

6.Create a profile on all of the major social networking sites. This includes Yahoo, MSN, and My Space.

7.Visit message boards and forums and actively contribute worthwhile bits of information.
8.Run paid ads on targeted web sites. This includes pay per click.

9.Make sure your site is well designed, easy to use and appealing to its users. Ask for user feedback and offer your users a way to recommend your site to friends.

10.Offer a free drawing or contest. Free always attracts people to your website.
