PHP Dir Submit Site Startup Traffic Tips

So you have PHP Dir Submit site up and running now. But what should you do next? The quick answer is promotion. First, I will tell you how to get your site indexed by major search engines like Google and Yahoo quickly, and then I will give you two solid and proven methods that you can use to drive traffic to your site. I would recommend that you do these four things in the same order as you see here.

1. Submit the site to web directories. Directories like the MasterMoz and Dmoz can help getting your PHP Dir Submit site indexed more quickly. They will also help your site to rank higher in the search engines. Put some of your keywords in the title and if you are planning to submit it to over a thousand directories you might want to change the title for each directory slightly to avoid getting a red flag from Google's detection bots.

2. Use social bookmarking sites. Just like web directories, social bookmarking sites can help search engines to find your site more quickly. Don't abuse this or your account will be banned. Submit your PHP Dir Submit site ONCE to each site. If you don't mind spending a bit more time on this you can put up an article or two on your PHP Dir Submit site and then do the bookmarking on this on the article page instead of the homepage. Be sure to have a link to homepage so that the search engine bots can find it.

3. Get a blog. A blog can be used as a partner or support site to your PHP Dir Submit site. You would use the blog to do two things: 1. Get traffic and 2. Pass link juice. This is a long term method, so don't expect to see results instantly. If you already own blog then you can simply link out to the PHP Dir Submit site wherever possible. Maybe write a post about the site.

4. Write quality articles. Post articles to directories as well as your own blog, but don't do both with one article. Before you start this you should decide whether you want the articles to get direct traffic to your PHP Dir Submit site, or would you rather use them to boost the ranking of your PHP Dir submit site. If the traffic is what you after then you will need to submit the articles to ONLY one 'well truste' article directory - ezinearticles.com; and if you want to boost search engine ranking then you will need to submit the articles to hundreds of article directories.

These are just some quick tips to get you started, and of course there are other methods like forum posting and banner advertising that you can use to get more traffic to your PHP Dir Submit site.
