Any post added to a blog that somehow relates to a site may give credits to a site. Just as long as it’s not off-topic of what a website is all about. But make sure not to use blogs, just to advertise the site, but keep on adding quality content, that you think is enticing, and you could do it, by thinking as if you were a visitor.

Traffic is I think the most important thing why a website is created. Bearing in mind that in order to gain traffic to your site, again and again, this line should be remembered, “Content is the King“.

Being active and creative were the keys to success and just use them wisely in order to build traffic for your site. Remember that millions of people are using the internet, and lots of products and services are offered also which referred to as, your competitors.

Using SEO tools and techniques, these are the most important and is crucial for a site, TRAFFIC. And here are best ways to gain them, have it published on article sites, but don’t copy and paste what you have posted on your blog or site, just make an article, without advertising on the article body, you have the resource box for it, where you could have it advertised. State and point out there that your site has lots of useful information for everybody. Quality content article will work for your site.

Another thing you could do is to make your website more interesting to be read and that’s by adding interesting and more unique content that is catchy, making used of the title in order to catch visitors.

Good or Bad SEO

Have you heard of any situation stating that they have made a website, which has lots of pages in it, and then buying or creating another domain posting an article containing links to it’s first website’s pages? The question that follows to this is, was it considered spamming to Search Engines, considering that the sole purpose for this is for his first website? Putting an article on that new domain and be referred as one of your inbound link strategy. Links from sub domains are counted by Google as they all came from a separate site. And thus, that gives you a backlink.

Considering that, the links there will have no power and no change when it comes to your rankings and I guess search engines don’t like that idea. Redirecting any relevant domain will surely help you as long as you have used the appropriate SEO for that. And if you choose to pursue with that idea of which you have created this sub domain for the sole purpose of putting links you may do it but be sure to give it a good title and a unique description pointing those links with the relevant page to your original site, then that will surely work. However, better make all pages on the subdomain be indexed first, having this on same IP is not a factor, but the links posted in your new domain should be updated on a regular basis.

But frankly guys, this isn’t a good practice, for it’s better to keep good contents on just one site. And that’s where the idea “Content is King” goes.

( Not that really an expert when it comes to optimizing, but luckily I was taught with some techniques and tools by one of my friend who work as an seo outsourcing in the Philippines that caters and gives you quality seo services. )
