Most of what you hear about how to improve web traffic is
bogus.
What makes me think I know? Well, you came to this web
page from one of my popular websites. Either I have been incredibly lucky
multiple times or I actually know how web traffic really works.

There are only two approaches that actually work:
- Build content
that the public (or your niche of the public) actually wants to visit.
- Pay ridiculous
sums of money for ads to continually bring in new suckers who haven’t been
turned off by your site before.
Conventional wisdom
Let’s examine the conventional wisdom.
Search engine submission
The search engines have their own pace and methods for
deciding which websites get listed. The search engines typically watch a new
website for six months to a year before adding it to their listings.
While it is possible to electronically submit your
website for submission, doing so does not in any way affect your entry
into the search engine listings or your ranking in the listings.
If your website has enough traffic to make it worthwhile
for the search engines to include you, then the search engines will already
find out about your website without you doing any submission of any kind.
All the people who promote this method know that it has
no actual value. They are thiefs.
