   The trick is to list on others sites that distribute and get spidered more throughout the Internet.
   I have a directory site thats spiders just like this.
   http://www.search-the-world.com/
   All the sites that list on my site and there’s several hundred thousand plus get picked up through other engines because I have such a huge following in my site directory.

   These tips were from Ed Zivkovic and

   1. Insert keywords within the title tag so that search engine robots will know what your page is about. The title tag is located right at the top of your document within the head tags. Inserting a keyword or key phrase will greatly improve your chances of bringing targeted traffic to your site.

   Make sure that the title tag contains text which a human can relate to. The text within the title tag is what shows up in a search result. Treat it like a headline.

   2. Use the same keywords as anchor text to link to the page from different pages on your site. This is especially useful if your site contains many pages. The more keywords that link to a specific page the better.

   3. Make sure that the text within the title tag is also within the body of the page. It is unwise to have keywords in the title tag which are not contained within the body of the page.

   Adding the exact same text for your h1 tag will tell the reader who clicks on your page from a search engine result that they have clicked on the correct link and have arrived at the page where they intended to visit. Robots like this too because now there is a relation between the title of your page and the headline.

   Also, sprinkle your keywords throughout your article. The most important keywords can be bolded or colored in red. A good place to do this is once or twice in the body at the top of your article and in the sub-headings.

   4. Do not use the exact same title tag on every page on your website. Search engine robots might determine that all your pages are the same if all your title tags are the same. If this happens, your pages might not get indexed.

   I always use the headline of my pages as the title tag to help the robots know exactly what my page is about. A good place to insert the headline is within the h1 tag. So the headline is the same as the title tag text.

   5. Do not spam the description or keyword meta tag by stuffing meaningless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.

   6. Do not link to link-farms or other search engine unfriendly neighborhoods. A good rule of thumb is if your pages do not contain any words that reflect the content of the site you are linking to, do not link to it.

   7. Do not use doorway pages. Doorway pages are designed for robots only, not humans. Search engines like to index human friendly pages which contain content which is relevant to the search.

   8. Title tags for text links. Insert the title tag within the HTML of your text link to add weight to the link and the page where the link resides. This is like the alt tag for images.

   My site contains navigation menus on the left and right of the page. The menu consists of links not images. The links are keywords. When you hover over the link with your mouse, the title of the link appears. View the source of this page to see how to add this tag to your links.

   9. Describe your images with the use of the alt tag. This will help search engines that index images to find your pages and will also help readers who use text only web browsers.

   10. Submit to the search engines yourself. Do not use a submission service or submission software. Doing so could get your site penalized or even banned.

   and David Leonhart writes:

   Be bold. Use the <b> </b> tags around some of your keywords on each page. Do NOT use them everywhere the keyword appears. Once or twice is plenty.

   Deep linking. Make sure you have links coming in to as many pages as possible. What does it tell a search engine when other web sites are linking to different pages on your site? That you obviously have lots of worthwhile content. What does it tell a search engine that all your links are coming in to the home page? That you have a shallow site of little value, or that your links were generated by automation rather than by the value of your site. Here is an example of deep linking, in this case to my personal happiness workbook.

   Become a foreigner. Canada and the UK have many directories for websites of companies based in those countries. Can you get a business address in one of those countries?

   Newsletters. Offer articles to ezine publishers that archive their ezines. The links stay live often for many years in their archives.

   First come, first served. If you must have image links in your navigation bar, include also text links. However, make sure the text links show up first in the source code, because search engine robots will follow the first link they find to any particular page. They won’t follow additional links to the same page. You can see this in action at the link to the home page on this web site monitoring page

   Multiple domains. If you have several topics that could each support their own website, it might be worth having multiple domains. Why? First, search engines usually list only one page per domain for any given search, and you might warrant two. Second, directories usually accept only home pages, so you can get more directory listings this way. Why not a site dedicated to gumbo pudding pops?

   Article exchanges. You’ve heard of link exchanges, useless as they generally are. Article exchanges are like link exchanges, only much more useful. You publish someone else’s article on the history of pudding pops with a link back to their site. They publish your article on the top ten pudding pop flavors in Viet Nam, with a link back to your site. You both have content. You both get high quality links. (More on high quality links in other tips.)

   Titles for links. Links can get titles, too. Not only does this help visually impaired surfers know where you are sending them, but some search engines figure this into their relevancy for a page.

   Not anchor text. Don’t overdo the anchor text. You don’t want all your inbound links looking the same, because that looks like automation – something Google frowns upon. Use your URL sometimes, your company name other times, "Gumbo Pudding Pop" occasionally, "Get gumbo pudding pops" as well, "Gumbo-flavored pudding pops" some other times, etc.

   Site map. A big site needs a site map, which should be linked to from every page on the site. This will help the search engine robots find every page with just two clicks. A small site needs a site map, too. It’s called the navigation bar. See how the second navigation bar at the bottom of Last Minute Florida Villas is like a mini-site map?

   Hi,

   If you are ranking number 1 at Google for anything you are doing a good job! Well done you.

   I had a quick look at your blog. It looks nice. I was just wondering

   a. How they keyword something like that – I mean can you keyword up every page of your blog? If so it’s time to put up a LOT more pages with different keywords. Every keyword should be ranking and pulling you in traffic (just give them a bit of time!)

   b. Is it maybe time to invest in a full site? I think you should maintain your blog – especially since it is ranking for that keyword you mentioned. But it is still a subdomain of bravehost and that can’t be doing you many favours at building yourself as a brand. If you are pulling any kind of decent traffic at all, you are just helping bravehost rather than building your own status and longevity as a site.

   c. You can rank for single word keywords just the same as you can for phrases BUT in most cases it is harder because there is much more competition. SE spiders use LSI, back links, traffic, longevity and various other things to decide whether your site deserves a high relevance score.

   If you are writing about "business" in general, you will have a hard time convincing your audience that you know everything there is to know on your subject and a very hard time convincing spiders that everything you write is closely and specifically relevant to your subject.

   These big subjects are usually what you get when you think of single word keywords. What you need to do is narrow things down by adding a longer tail to your concept keyword like "business management" or "business management for women" or "business management for married women".

   Every time you add a word you narrow your focus and that helps you identify your niche, which helps you gain focus and relevance.

   SO – phrases are easier to win at the engines

   BUT – single word phrases can be won – IF you don’t mind waiting and persisting in writing for YEARS!

   Good luck with it.

   J

   there is no benefit really to submit site to search engine. the reason you do that is to put your site in a queue for the bots to crawl and index it. so if the queue is long than your got to wait for some time. but if you put your link in high PR site or blog your site can be indexed within a week. your site give info about getting traffic yet you have problem with that. so what is the problem? the only problem i can think is that you are not reading the articles you put on your site or you have read them but are not putting any effort to take the necessary action. so what is going to be?

   Use wordtracker.com to brainstorm related keywords.
   Write an article for each keyword, using the word in your metatags.
   Then post these articles, rewritten, in article directory sites, like http://www.ezinearticles.com
   In the resource box of each article, put a link to your site, to a specific page using the keyword in that tag.
   Write lots of articles, get help from a writer, it will be worth it in the long term http://www.website-copy-writer.com
