Whatever the purpose of your website or blog...whether it is for fun or for profit, it stands to reason that you want as much traffic as possible. Nobody ever complains that they're frustrated because too many people visit their blog or website.

If your website traffic is composed of "targeted visitors"...folks with a high level of interest in the subject of your blog or website, that's even better.

Some websites get all their traffic via advertising. But, advertising can be expensive and most folks who advertise get "hit and miss" results. For those reasons, and others, organic search engine traffic is your best bet. And, for that, you'll need good search engine rankings.

Thus, one of the big secrets of promoting websites is not a secret at all. If you do not have (very!) deep pockets, you must have high enough search engine rankings to produce a substantial volume of organic traffic for your website.

Nobody can argue against the often made statement that "content is king" in developing a good website and in achieving enviable search engine rankings. And, if you emphasize the wrong keywords on your website and in your promotional activities, you're sunk. But, anything and everything else you do will not get you where you want to be in the search engine rankings without an aggressive, ongoing link building effort.

Writing articles can get you hundreds of links like those in the author box below. In fact, for less than the cost of a good lunch, freelance writers will produce articles for you. And, submitting articles to news outlets and other websites takes little time or effort, particular with one of several available pieces of software.

Requesting links on individual websites can also lead to a big boost in your search engine rankings. And, there are software programs that automate the process of identifying websites on subjects related to yours and contacting their webmasters. Alternatively, you can accomplish the same things manually, but it will be far more time consuming.

My organization has offered a free ten lesson course in search engine optimization designed to help website owners for more than five years. Of all the many things we discuss in the ten lessons, we have found out, over and over again, that nothing is more important than linking.

Webmasters who want as much traffic as possible (and who among us doesn't?) need to commit to a focused, aggressive link building effort. If they do, their efforts are almost certain to be rewarded.
