Hi all,

From what i've read in these forums, here are the essential things you need to do get reasonable traffic (unless you spend loads on adverts) :

1) Submit to major search engines and loads of free directories, DMOZ if you're lucky

2) Get the right keywords, meta tags bla bla bla

3) Get backlinks from decent sites that are ranked, get traffic and possibly relavent to yours

4) Make sure your site has loads of good content

5) Make sure your site doesn't have bad content or popups, annoying music in the background and that kind of crap

6) Something for your visitors to come back to e.g. to play a game, to discuss in a forum or for the **** of it

Have i got it right? is there something i've misunderstood or missed out?

Quite a lot of patience too is important, i got myself into a bit of a fluster a while back regarding traffic, i realise that its a long term thing, do whats needed and what helps and keep on doing it and i guess traffic will come slowly and gradually, i get hardly any traffic at the moment to my 3 sites, but i keep on going and keep on doing what is needed and bit by bit i will see it happen over time, ive already forgotten about all the companies who promise this n that. I realise that a ton of traffic is pointless if those people were not interested in my site in the first place. Better for it to grow over time.
