use some effective keywords do some reciprocal linking with relevent sites, submit article to high pr sites, do directory submission etc. and if you are not aware of this all than simply hire seo expert.

I would suggest you to spend more time on content part, target new keywords of your industry. If you are short of new keyword ideas, use Google adwords keywords tool

Build more backlinks for your site to get the targeted traffic.Build quality backlinks only for more traffic.Do the off-page optimization such as social bookmarking,directories submission,forum postings,blog commenting,article marketing etc. for getting more back links.

**athomas** · 08-21-2009, 08:26 AM

Just to clarify... back-links are just links to my site, on other sites... Right?

**RadianceRoad** · 08-21-2009, 09:09 AM

Remember that in internet marketing, you are trying to get your best prospects to visit your website and buy your products and services. Traffic is not valuable unless it includes your best prospects. Make sure that you have a good, solid customer profile and are targeting those prospects. I don't need much traffic - just great prospects!!!!! I can generate lots of traffic, but I really ONLY want specific people to visit.
Target profiles are always the key - everyting else in marketing online comes from those....

**RadianceRoad** · 08-21-2009, 09:11 AM

You are RIGHT!
Just to clarify... back-links are just links on other sites to my site.

**vikhi** · 08-22-2009, 01:09 AM

write a high quality content ( content is the king) and make it popular with high quality backlink ( backlink is the queen). fokus on SERP, thats all

I've tried using Digg, and a few of those free website directories, nothing yet.

How could my content be better?

A combination both on On-Page and Off-Page is the best thing to do. On-Page deals with the proper use of title tags, description tags, meta tags, keywords, alt-tags (use when describing images), and h1/h2 tags (headings) while Off-Page deals with building links. It is a process of getting huge amounts of back links.

**blackmamba** · 08-26-2009, 05:13 AM

participate on busy forums within your niche, post interesting thread to indulge other forum users to click your signatures. try also social bookmarking, it is very effective in driving traffic...

**athomas** · 08-30-2009, 04:01 AM

Tried forums, no customers from there. Tried Digg and Twitter, not getting anything. Not sure why.

Where do I start the whole backlink thing at?

Is my site really that bad?

Help!!!

I think besides forum posts, u can also try build blog for your site.

A blog can easily be posted and linked to your business website, allowing you to publish thoughts or information almost instantly onto the web. Blogs are quick and easy and posts are immediately published on the Internet as soon as you press the submit button.

hope help!

**athomas** · 08-31-2009, 01:22 AM

A blog really isn't an amazing marketing tool. It's more of a customer retention tool, so they know what's going on behind the scenes. I'm talking about getting as much traffic in as possible, for as cheap as possible.

**rubsync** · 09-21-2009, 10:05 PM

Getting quality of back links will surely help. Back links gain traffic. Social bookmarking, classified ads, press release, blog commenting, article submissions and online groups helps you get quality of back links.

You simply need to go all out promoting your site. Depending only on one mode of promotion won't do do any good at all but rather you need to try all marketing techniques in the book to be successful in drawing traffic to your site. Do article marketing, blog commenting, guest postings, free classified postings, social bookmarking and etc.

I have a couple of comments and I hope that it won't discourage you, but I'm going to be totally honest. Most of the advice you've received in this thread is just a lot of people writing buzzwords without actually knowing what they mean or how they could possibly apply to your business.

The reality is that hosting is a very crowded marketplace and it's not that's going to be easy to break into. Unless you're able to hit on some undiscovered hosting niche, you're simply going to have a very hard time making any headway ranking in the search engines for hosting. To do that, you need a lot of content and you need to be razor-sharp with your keyword research. Then you would also need to funnel them successfully to your sales page. Can it be done? Sure. Cheaply? Easily? No.

Social media? Forget about it. It's the wrong type of audience and it won't bring you any traffic because no one on social media sites is there because they're looking for web hosting services. The links won't do you any good in the search engines either, beyond perhaps getting your page indexed sooner. Everyone else in hosting will already have submitted to those sites too. The sole exception might be Twitter and the way to use that is to get a large list and offer coupons and promo codes, in addition to handling customer service and pointing out great information (don't spam).

Article directories are a waste of time. When was the last time you went to an article directory for information? Traffic will be minimal and the link isn't worth the time it takes to write the article. If you write articles, put them on your own site, not someone else's.

Really, the best way to get traffic for a hosting is to buy it through advertising. Use Google Adwords. Test your campaigns. Improve them to the point where your advertising campaigns are bringing in more money than they cost. You can also try advertising through a service like BuySellAds.com, though I haven't used them before.

Again, to be totally honest, the best chance you're going to have of having a profitable ad campaign is to redesign your site. I'm not sure what it looks like in other browsers, but in Google Chrome, it has some layout issues. Aside from that, though, it simply doesn't strike me as a site professional enough that I would want to do business with the company behind it. Look at some of the bigger hosts like GoDaddy, MediaTemple, Rackspace, etc. and emulate their look and feel. These are big companies and they've most likely put a lot of time and money into testing their offers and sales pages. You would do well to imitate at least some of their design practices (while making it completely unique at the same time).

As a word of business advice, don't compete on price, compete on service and quality. The type of customers you'll want won't blink twice at paying more if they have reliable uptime and customer support. If you can do that, people will recommend you and that will be worth more than any link building you could do on your own.

**MaximZF** · 09-22-2009, 05:46 AM

if you got the cash and are willing to spend, try ppc. Of course you have to know what you are doing with ppc. Tracking and optimizing becomes extremely important.

Yeah, people don't seem to know what they're talking about in this thread so far. Anyhow, I don't use Chrome, and it's not a standard browser yet due to all the security holes and instability. I don't know how to code this to work in FF, IE and Chrome, when it's working fine in FF, IE and other major browsers. Per the stats for my site, Chrome hardly ever comes up as a browser that has visited my site.

The niche if you didn't notice is managed hosting, even with shared plans. As well as very cheap ColdFusion hosting, which is hard to come by. So again, I don't know what the hangup is here.

Make use of Online forums and online communities.

The very interesting thing about forums and online communities is that they are highly targeted. You can get a group that fits into the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer.

Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.
