Webmaster Pro Guide

Ok, first of all, get your PageRank up to 6. In all honesty, how hard is to get PR5? You can purchase one sitewide at PR7 site and get up to 5, or you can spend a couple hundred dollars submitting to high quality directories. (although, I admit, it could be a little harder after the recent PR update, when many dirs lost their PR).
The reason behind this is that permanent directory listing does not mean much, if your PR drops in the future. By having higher PR you are showing me (the submitter) that you are serious about your directory, because you have put some time and money into it. You need to have high PR and professional looking directory if you want people to submit to it.
And let’s be honest, people submit to directories for PR, not for traffic. The days when directories were providing traffic are long gone. Do not brag about your traffic. Work hard, and brag about your PR.

Creating a website can and should be a fun and profitable endeavor. If done correctly, the entire process of establishing your web presence can be done in as little as 48 hours. In this article, I will establish some basic guidelines any newbie webmaster will want to know in order to make this process as smooth as possible.

The first and best way is to submit your site to search engines. Keep in mind you will only be ranked well if you have meta tags for title, keywords, and description. (You can look up how to make these). Once you have meta tags, go to the following site: http://www.freewebsubmission.com/ to submit your site to about 20 search engines including the big names. It’s free and takes about two minutes and you don’t have to put a link on your site or anything. I’ve found this to be a great tool.

The second best way is submitting your site to link directories. This gets your link out in the public and will also help to increase your page rank. Good link directories can be hard to find but luckily in my journeys as a webmaster over the years I’ve found this site: http://www.noeman.org/links_directory There are literally hundreds of directories there. Some require paying, some are free, and some you need a link on your site. It may take some time, but the more directories you submit to, the better.

The final best way, and least important of the three, is finding affiliates for your site. This means that you have to surf around for sites that are similar to yours and then contact them about a link exchange. I would recommend no more than having 8 affiliates (even though I have 12) on a site but no less than 4. It also helps to get affiliates with good visitors daily and a good page rank as both will help you out.

By following these steps, I’ve taken my site (http://www.alexsdbzrpg.com) from page rank of 0 to page rank of 3 and now getting around 300+ unique visitors a day. It’s an online game so it’s rather difficult to get many unique visitors. The equivalent of this game as to an information or personal site would probably be around 500 uniques a day. The site itself was created sometime in July so it’s still relatively new. If I can get these results just by doing these three things then anybody can!
