The main ingredient in generating web traffic is the search engine. Of coarse, you can use advertising, but it's going to cost you. Using the search engines to generate targeted web traffic is the least expensive method. Unfortunately, many web site owners do not understand the importance of search engine visibility, which leads to web traffic. They place more importance on producing a nice looking website. Not that this is bad, but it is really not needed for search engine placement. Hopefully, the following list of common mistakes, made by many website owners will help you generate more targeted web traffic to your site. Not using keywords effectively. This is probably one of the most critical mistakes of web site design. Choose the right keywords and potential customers will find your site. Use the wrong ones and your site will see little, if any, web traffic. Repeating the same keywords. When you use the same keywords over and over again it can cause the search engines to downgrade your page or site. Copying pages from other websites. How many times have you heard or read that this is the Internet and it's ok to copy icons and text from websites to use on your site. Don't do it. Its ok to learn from others who have been there but don't just copy their work. The search engines are very smart and usually detect page duplication. They may even prevent you from ever being listed by them. Using keywords that are not related to your website. Many website owners try to gain search engine visibility by using keywords that have nothing to do with their website. They place unrelated keywords in a page inside a meta tag for that page. The keyword doesn't have anything to do with the page topic. However, since the keyword is popular, they think this will boost their visibility. This is considered spam by the search engines and may cause your web site to be removed from the search engine listing. Keyword satsuration. This is using your keywords too often, this means to use multiple keywords to the description of a graphic or etc. that appears on your website by using the alt=" HTML parameter. If the search engines find that this text does not really describe the graphic or layer it will be considered spam. Using hidden text. You might be inclined to think that if you cannot see it, it doesn't hurt. Wrong, Don't try to hide your keywords or keyword phrases by making them invisible or tiny. For example, some people set the keywords to the same color as the background of the web page making it invisible. Thinking all search engines are the same. Many people assume that all search engine plays by the same rules. This is not so. Each has their own rules and is subject to change anytime they so want too. Make it a point to learn what each major search engine requires for high visibility. Using free web hosting. Do not use free web hosting if you are really serious about increasing web site traffic with search engine visibility. Many times the search engines will eliminate content from these free hosts. Also free hosts stick their advertisments on your site. Don't forget to check for missing web page elements. Make sure to check every page in your website for missing links, graphics, etc. There are sites on the web that will do this for free.
