How to increase my visitors for my site?

As I have researched the different theories on what are the possible reasons on why my site does not get higher traffic, I came up with these theories:

- My site’s loading speed is too slow
- Depends on the seasonality (for hotel, vacation, lodging, and resort websites)
- Usability problem
- Site contains useless content (under construction, welcome, or just a plain text)
- The site is seen as a spam site
- The keyword optimized does not have searchers
- The keyword for a certain location has a low searchers/trend
- The site does not load very well (usually contains errors)

Therefore, to be able to increase the traffic of my site, I need to do the following:

- Check the latest keyword trends using Google Trends.
- Check the estimated searchers of a certain keyword using Trellian, Adwords Traffic Estimator, Wordtracker, Digitalpoint, etc.
- Socialize, Communicate, and be public
- Check for errors using dead-links.com
- Add fresh content from time-to-time
- Avoid overoptimization/oversubmission
- Build links using your targeted keywords as an anchor text

… for additional strategies, just drop a comment, thanks!

    you should probably swing to the dark arts. then you won’t be having these as problems.LOL

    it matters if you’re black or white
    once you go black you won’t go back.
    once a black hatter always a winner.
    nice guys finish last even in the SERPs.

    Actually, the tips are for newbies, but black hat techniques are good especially for the gurus of SEO. One example of a good black hat SEO is the one who can retain his site for more than 3 years without being banned from google.

    oh yes it will stay there. unless some folks whom we trample below us reported us out of envy, then that’s the time we will get delisted or ranked in the back pages. Usually that’s the case.

    but never the less, we rise again and trample them the next day. lol

  4. hahaha, pao they want you to teach us the black hat seo… hehehe…

  5. Nice Website. You should think more about RSS Feeds as a traffic source. They bring me a nice bit of traffic.
