How To Break The Top 500000

Really to be honest breaking the top 500000 is not as hard as it might seems. I am going to give you a 5 step way to get your site closer breaking the top 500000 in Alexa. This will start you on your way to getting closer to the harder mark of 200000.

Step One – Content Is King

The biggest way to get more people to your site is to make it bigger. Now I don’t mean go out and find the biggest image you can and put it on your site. I mean make more articles, more posts, more pages, and more places for people to interact. A great way to start this is to build a blog. Most people hear blog and think well am I going to have to post daily. NO, you could post one article a month and it would be good enough. The worst part about blogs is getting a blog that is hosted by another site. For instance Blogspot. Getting a Blogspot account is not a bad thing but it will not help your site much. You need a blog that is built into your website like WordPress.

Step Two – Sitemap Submission

What is a sitemap? It is a easy xml template of your site. It makes it easy for search engines to crawl your site. You can make one of these really simply by just going to Google and type in Free Sitemap Builder. Once you have your sitemap you will need to put it somewhere on your server. Most of the time it is in the root directory of your website. After that you can submit it to all different search engines and then they will know what is on your website.

Step Three – Meta Tags

Your meta information is not the easiest thing to do because you have to get creative and it takes time. But, if you just put up the mere basics, like title, keywords, and descriptions. Your site will start to grow rapidly. A really good place to start with meta tags is Search Engine Watch.

Step Four – Social Media

One of the easiest and fastest ways to get traffic to your site is with Social Media. Everyone knows that Social Networks are the big thing. I really only know a few people who don’t have a Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and so on. The easiest way to get peopel to your site. Submit each page that you want people to find to StumbleUpon, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Delicious, Technorati, Reddit, and many more. This is simple and takes but 30secs per submittion.

Step Five – Content Content Content

I know I mentioned this already and it is the number one way. But it is also the number 5 way because it is the best way to get people to your site. Really SEO, SEM, Submitting, and Social Media cant come close to a site that has a ton of content. If you don’t have content then you will not get many people.

Google Ads

Google everyone knows them and probably everyone has seen multiple ads by them. They will accept every site. Not just because they have the money to do so but they can measure where the person who clicked on the ad came from. For instance If you put ads up on your site by Google. You have to register where you live with them. Now not saying that you should but yeah you could go to a neighboring town and click on your ads and yes you will probably get money for it. But, Google is smart if it finds a pattern in clicks and area of the clicks then it will suspect something and you can get prosecuted for it. What does this mean you will loose your ability to use Google ads and could be fined and possible jail time. In order to setup Google ads on your site all that you have to do is register with Google Adsence it is really easy to find just go to Google and search for Google ads or ads. You do not have to have a Google email to register. Once you setup your account then all you have to do is go through the tutorials inside Google Adsence to get the feel for how to go about making money. The really tough part about making money with Google is where to put the ads. For instance you want the ads in places that people are going to click them and they dont look like ads. There are different kinds of ads and ad sizes that you can choose from. I am using there rss feed ads and there regular ads.

Other Ad Companies

There are a ton of other really good ad companies but the two that I like the most is Chitika Ads and Text Link Ads. Both of these ad companies pay pretty good especially Text Link Ads. The only problem with these ad companies is you have to have a high amount of traffic to your site before they will accept you. A really good way to increase your traffic to your site is with Optimization. This can be done in many different ways the best is to get everything optimized. This includes SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SEM (Search Engine Marketing), Title and Alt Tags, Content Emphasis, Creating Ads For Your Self, and much more. The best is to do all of them but if you are looking for some quick traffic. Then you best bet is to create a ad with a high end company (Google). Google is extremely cheap for creating ads it would only cost you around $50-$100 a month for good ads and it goes up from there. Now even with creating ads for yourself this doesn’t mean that your site is going to get enough of a boost that it needs. That is why I said that it is best to get everything done. That way you are building traffic from multiple areas. Whether it be Search Engines, Advertising, or Keywords.

SEO Packages

If you are in need of any Search Engine Optimization I do have packages and I can teach people how to do SEO. My monthly packages for SEO all depend on how much you want done. I charge $25US an hour. With that my recommended package would be 20 hours a month this will give you the best outcome. Of course the more hours you do the better outcome you will get but at 20 hours a month I can really get enough done to your site that it will show improvement a lot quicker and will make you more money faster. I also have a bunch more different packages and prices for web based projects, you can go to Work Prices.
