If you build it, they will come
If you build it, they will come, might work for a corner deli, but it sure isn’t the right attitude to have about your website or blog. Online, you need to build your traffic, your incoming links, and your site’s reputation. It can be a daunting task. I think the simplest way to begin is to make sure your blog is listed in a handful of reputable blog niche web directory services.
having your site listed in directories, you boost the chance of new traffic and ensure solid incoming links to your site. Link building is an important aspect when it comes to the Page Rank of your site. Traffic is a separate issue, but both can be addressed if you have strong directory listings.
Incoming links are when another site links to your site. Search engines can detect which sites and how many sites are linking to you. They can also determine if the sites linking to you are relevant to your site. In a directory listing, you try to have your site listed in a category that closely matches your site’s subject matter so the link is in context.
Traffic comes from a number of sources, including incoming links. You want to make your presence known, be an active member of social networks and make sure your site is set up to do well in the search engines listing processes.
Go ahead and build it, but then make sure you take the time to ensure they will come.
