O.k., a strange fact…I found out about during some adding of some new affiliates….
For every one-affiliate tag, you get ten guests per month, the guests very from people, who belong to your affialte’s site or from someone who found it on google…
YES!!!
When you have an affialte, it boosts your google and other search-engine ranks!
See, say you have ten affiliates , half of them have high ranks in google, just by having your site affiliated with them, your rank on google soars…Really it does, the site I work for, “TQB” wasn’t…. let’s say pleasing to the eyes and sucked . we lacked with cosmetic updates, but the site’s content rocked, it’s an excellent Forum , but we are hardly had any members or guests, well surfing the web… I found some cool codes and started upgrading and updating the site constantly and rapidly, sure we increased our members and even got a few guests, but nothing really great…but then we got some affiliates and got around ten to twenty guests a month and a few new players….
So after doing some research [thank god for the 189 iq] and found some cool things, so of course I advertised and started adding the site to every single search-engine, registered it with thousands of rpg listings and all that, even made the site a blog and myspace page [ yeah, I know desperate qc]
But those helped, so I was like…”I wonder?!” and made a test site, I found out, if you site is pleasing to the eyes and has many affialtes, you’ll get aton of guests, now you asking “ but ..how and why?”
Well it’s simple, forever affiliate, you get 10 guests per month, the blog and the myspace page also increases publicity and the site’s listings in search-engines, see the more your site’s link is advertised on Web-Wide known sites and directories, it’s rank increases, so every affiliate you had is listed in google under a few different names and it’s page rank is F*$%^^@ high and it’s like really well known, then so will your site…just by having it’s name and link on say listed on myspace it’s rank will be up there….
So long story short….
1. get your site a myspace page, this will increase it’s publicity and ranking in search engines, make sure to keep your page looking really awesome and to have your site’s name bold, your site’s link posted a few time on the page and to have the site’s description really well described, get a few music videos and some fields filled out, it’ll attracted people and other site pages to view yours…
2. get Meta tags, I have two, and around 200 random words all related to the sites…
3. Get some affiliates , ask them if your listed in google and make sure they keep your tag on their site, well just as long as you keep theirs!
4. get a blog for your site, it helps allot!
5. join a news letter group, I and two other sites run one called the star syndicate, it helps, send it as a site wide pm, a site wide email and even send it like regular email through your own email….
6. make your site pleasing too the eyes…ditto all purple pastel & only a 9 kb Background . and a slim Banner .
Now if you follow these rules ,they should help you increase your sites, publicity, ranking and member count…..
