Due to the long-last market down-turn, the financial pressure for families are increasing at dramatic speed. Meanwhile, it’s more and more difficult for people to find a well-paid job quickly and large amount of employees are actually being laid off with large amount of labor facing the stress of losing their job in the future.
As a result, the group of self-employed people are growing. Due to the negative effect caused by the credit crunch in loan business, the business idea concerning on-line businesses, such as Blogtrepreneurship and E-commerce, show off their merits over other businesses ideas in their low demands in original funds. These on-line businesses are also quite appropriate options for the house-wives, who are looking for some means to help with earning extra money in their spare time to meet their budget.
For all of the on-line businesses, one key factor in distinguishing a good web-page from a poor one is its accessibility and the speed of loading the information. It should be the No. 1 priority for all the bloggers or on-line businesses owners to find a good web-hosting service.
However, not all web-hosting service could meet your needs. Sometimes, some web-hosting services could be very terrible as a result of the over-load in the domain. It will be very annoying if the readers needs to wait for quite a while after clicking the link to get access to your web-page. If this situation exist consistently, you might suffer greatly in the web-page traffic and it might cause you financial loss to some extend.
Compared to most over-loaded on-line businesses with longer history in the field, the ones newly come into practice can actually offer you much better service packages. As such new web-hosting business has much more sufficient space under their domains, the speed to their customers’ web-pages are much better guaranteed. The NaniHost.com is one of the best examples.
Are you interested in the idea of raising your own on-line businesses? Are you searching for reliable hosting services? Are you not satisfied with your current web-hosting service? Check it out at NaniHost. You might find something that suits you.

Ok, here is a list of 100 ways to increase traffic to your website. These should help you increase visitors to your website or blog. As the title suggests they are not all sensible but they may still be worth a go.

The methods are mainly for blogs, however websites can benefit too. Some of the following are just little changes that can be made that will increase traffic in ways you may not of thought. I am not suggesting you use all of them in one go, simply choose ones that suit your blog and work best. If you have any questions about any of the methods, please comment.

1. Have Your Own Domain - Do not use sub-domains at Wordpress or blogger, or use free hosting services. Pay for some blog web hosting or site web hostingand get your own unique domain name. This will make your website more memorable and encourage visitors to return.

2. A Professional and Unique Design - Code your own template or modify an existing theme for your site or blog. What makes your blog so special if it looks the same as 1000 others on the Internet. Your design should be clean and simple so its easy to navigate. Once you have made it, test it and check everything works, a site with errors will lose visitors.

3 .Content is King - You need to consistently write great content on your blog. The posts that you make need to be worth reading and have some impact on the visitor. If I am visiting your website for the first time I want to be impressed and bookmark your website so I return to see what else you compose.

4. Post Linking - When a link is made to your blog from another blog, if activated, it places a link in that blogs comments back to the relevant post. This will help increase back links to your blog.

5. Personality - Do not pretend to be someone you are not as a blogger. Be yourself and do not pretend otherwise. This is best because your readers want someone to connect with, someone who is a real person and not just a blog with no face.

6. Always Room for Improvement - Always strive to improve your blog any way you can. Play around with ad placement, colours and graphics and other features to make your blog more appealing. Ask for reviews to find area’s for improvement.

7. Reply to Your Readers - This means replying to comments and any e-mails that you receive. This is part of your personality and showing that you are a real person who exists and cares about the topic you are blogging about.

8. Real Posts - Ensure that you sound human in your posts. Do not post in the third person. Use words such as I and talk about your personal experiences.

9. A Picture - A picture paints a thousand words so why not show your readers who is writing the blog. Upload an image of yourself onto your about page, or if you are not quite comfortable to do that then have a cartoon of yourself made.

10. Comment on Other Blogs - This is a very powerful technique, I know I find myself clicking the link to a persons website after I have read their comment and this is what you can achieve by leaving your comment on as many other blogs as possible. Blogs that are about the same topic will help you get targeted traffic.

11. Question Your Readers - Ask your readers questions in posts, this will help to provoke a response from them. You give them an important role to play and they respond by commenting their opinion. This will encourage repeat visitors to respond to your posts with their opinions.

12. Internal Linking - Linking to previous posts that you have made will create more back links and also encourage readers to re-read or look at some of your older work. Readers of a particular post will be interested in related posts so ensure you link to them.

13. Alternate Text Images - When you use images on your site, ensure that you use alternate text “alt” tags to insert keywords or the name of the image. This will help get the images listed on image search engines and result in traffic from that source.

14. Submit to Directories - Submit your site to online directories. Do this to as many as you can to improve your PageRank. This increased back links to your website and there for you receive higher rankings on search engines.

15. Image Use - Try to use images when posting on your blog. These make posts more fun to look at and can break up boring text.

This is the end of part one, check back soon for more ways to increase traffic.

After posting about on age SEO it seems only right to continue with off page SEO. This, as you will no doubt have guessed, is things that you can do off your website to help improve its search engine rank. As I have posted before when talking about increasing PageRank, off page SEO is about creating more links to your website.

You can go out and get lots of irrelevant back links to your site, however this will not help you very much. You need to get back links to your website, from websites that have similar content and preferably from a page that has a high Page Rank.

You need to get links to your website from websites that are trusted and do not spam or have duplicate content. You need to check if the website has content that is of good quality and is relevant to your site. You should check what type of out-going links the page your link will be on has and ensure that these are of a good quality.

Different types of websites have different types of traffic. You don’t want visitors that are just visiting your site for a second and then leaving. You need quality visitors to your website who are looking for the type of content that your website offers.

You should look for sites that have the do follow attribute because these are the ones that will benefit you the most. Make the most of alt tags if you are placing an image advert or if its a text advert include keywords that are relevant to your website in the anchor text.

I will try and write some posts about link building and provide some places that you can use to create good back links.

Every blogger wants comments, even me so here are a few tips to try and get some. I’ll try out the first on the list now. If you liked the methods listed here, please comment and let me know what you think.

1. Asking for Comments

The first thing to try and get comments is to ask for them. Kash Dash doesn’t receive a huge number of hits yet so for those few readers who are loyal, you are welcome to comment

2. Write Something Stupid that is Wrong

I came across this idea of the past few days while arguing a point by commenting. I seldom comment on other blogs however the fact that the guy posting had the facts wrong was enough to provoke a reaction from me to correct him. The continued battle for who was right in the comments sent the number he received very high. So I began thinking, why not just write rubbish…no jokes about by normal content… or get something wrong in a post to try and get that one person who wants the truth to be known

3. Question Your Readers

By asking your readers questions directly you are likely to provoke thought in that readers mind. You comment box is a great place for them to express their opinion.

4. Reply to Comments

After asking your readers a question, its always nice to get a response from the person who wrote the original post. Interact with your readers and reply by commenting. This will increase your comment count and make visitors intrigued to what all the fuss is about.

5. Top Commentors

Kash Dash has a plug-in that shows who comments the most. I have this in the footer of the blog. You might want to implement a similar plug-in. Competitiveness between readers to see who can get the most can only benefit you. …I think.

6. Do Follow Comments

Blogs that provide Do Follow links are increasing popular. The reason for this is due to getting more comments. Do Follow was created to reduce spam in comments, however reverse its purpose and website owners will comment for a free back link. They know that the comment has to look real to ensure its not marked as SPAM so again by having Do-Follow links you can benefit. I used a plug-in for Kash Dash so that these are enabled.

7. Comment on Other Blogs

Ok, now its time to be that webmaster in the tip above. Go and comment on blogs with similar content to yours to increase back links to your website. This will increase your blogs popularity and therefore encourage more comments. Steps 6 and 7 go hand in hand in a sort of loop.

8. Freebies

Everyone wants stuff for free, so take advantage of it. Create a free digital product, ebook, theme, script or whatever and offer it free to the most interesting comment you see in the next month.

Just a few idea’s to help you get comments on your blog, let me know below what you think of the above and how it helps your site.
