Directory Submitter
If you would like to increase the amount of traffic that your web site gets, one of the steps that I would strongly recommend is submitting your web site to as many different directories as possible. This is especially since there are plenty of directories (at least a thousand, and probably more) which provide an option for listing web sites for free.
Being listed in directories brings two main benefits:
1. When you submit your web site to a directory, the directory listing itself can bring traffic. That is to say that people who are reading the directory’s pages may see your listing, click on it, and thus visit your web site.
2. As you are probably aware, search engines such as Google use the number of links to a web site as one of the criteria for sorting and ranking web sites in their listings. In general, all other things being equal, a web site that has more and better quality backlinks will come higher up in the search results that one with fewer and lower quality backlinks. Of course, when people search they tend to click on higher ranked sites far more often than on lower ranked sites, so anything that you can do increase the number of backlinks to your web site can contribute towards boosting your traffic from search engines. Directories are of course themselves usually indexed by search engines too, so the links from directory listings can contribute to raising the search engine ranking of your site.
