Great information within this thread - traffic doesn't have to come from the SEs all the time!

Lately, I have seen more and more people asking how to get traffic to their site or how to get indexed quickly. I shared a tip last night at an online seminar and I will share it here. This is what I do to get traffic...
1. Go to http://www.craigslist.com. (make sure you add the "s" in there or you will wind up at a porno site) Once there, go to the SF Bay site and post an advertisement to your web site with your link included. Make it a legitimate advertistment in the proper category. The SF Bay site of Craigslist is a PR8 site and it gets spidered regularly. You will find that you will be indexed within a matter of a day or so AND you will see phenominal results in the MSN search engine. DO NOT SPAM THE SITE!!!
2. After you have done that, write keyword rich articles (don't even say you can't write articles...do you want traffic or not?) and post them at your favorite article directory. I believe it was John Taylor that said he used http://www.isnare.com and that was a good enough recommendation for me. I started using it and it has worked great. I pay $38 to have 28 articles submitted to 24,000+ publishers and hundreds of article sites but you can pay a little as $10. Yes, I know it costs a little money but do you want traffic or not? iSnare has worked the best for me.
3. If you want to go that one extra step, I would set up a blog and make a keyword rich post every single day until the spiders start coming around regularly. I use WordPress and I have found it works the best for me. In the "options" section of WordPress you set it up to "ping" each time you make a post. Without going into a lot of technical detail, suffice to say that is what brings the spiders. After you are getting spidered regularly, you can cut the posts back to 2 or 3 per week.
4. I would recommend that anyone wanting to learn more about getting traffic to your site should pick up a copy of Brad Callen's free SEO Made Easy ebook. I have used internet marketing techniques for years but I still learned quite a bit from his ebook. I don't recall the exact place to get it but you can probably get it by going to his SEO Elite site at http://www.seoelite.com/. (That is not an affiliate link)
Do those things and you will be amazed at how quickly you get into the search engines and start receiving traffic. Just remember, all the traffic in the world won't do a dadgum thing for you if you don't have a good website that has something people want. Take care and have a great whatever it is wherever you are!
