I've read over and over that when it comes to building a website
and getting a lot of traffic to it "Content Is King." If you do
a search for any topic you will find the websites that come up
in the Top 10 all have a lot of content on their websites.

When somone does a search they are looking for information and
the search engines job is to provide it to them. For your
website to increase in popularity you have to constantly be
adding fresh content. This will increase your ranking for the
keywords on your site and ultimately increase your traffic and
repeat traffic.


Here are a few simple things you can do to add fresh content.

1. Do you publish and ezine? If so add a file to your index for
each issue and archive it online. This will bring all kinds of
keyword rich content to your website on a constant basis.


2. Start and article page. Add new articles to it. If you write
put your articles on your website. Subscribe to a few ezines
that are industry related. If you come across an article you
like add it to your page.


3. Add Free Syndicated Content Feeds to your article page. This
is really easy to do. All you do is copy a few lines of code
into the HTML of your web page and you have a constant stream of
new articles for your readers. Here are 2 of my favorite sources:

4. Add Pay Per Click Advertising to your site. Most people think
of PPC advertising as a way to promote their site. I have found
it very easy to build new web pages around different keywords
relating to the the theme of my site and actually get paid for
the click. One of my favorite pay per click advertising sources
is SearchFeed. This is very easy to work with and provides a
nice income boost every month as well.

Here is an example of a page I built around the SearchFeed
advertising model. Notice that I have made the look of their
box compliment my own page. Also a key here is that as the
advertisers with SearchFeed change so does the content on my
site and I never have to do anything except add some easy code
one time.

I have an article on the page and I change that periodically
as well.


5. Start a Link Exchange Program. This is a little harder to set
up and is time consuming, but I have found it to be worth the
effort. In a future article I will go into detail on how to
properly do link exchanges. For now just let me say that linking
is a great way to constantly be adding new content to your site
as you link with new websites that compliment yours.

One company who does a great job if you don't want to spend much
time linking is LinksManager. They manage reciprocal links, and
help increase your website traffic through linking with other
like-minded quality sites. Check them out here:

6. Think outside the box. It is worthwhile to continue to think
of new and easy ways to keep adding fresh content to your
website. Go to Google and do a search for "Fresh Content For My
Website" without the Quotation marks. Currently there are Over
1.9 million results that come up. Everything from cut and paste
charts, to RSS feeds and a whole lot more.

In conclusion "Content Really Is King. I have found my position
with the search engines improve dramatically when I really
started building more web pages and adding more fresh content.

It is time consuming at first, but the payoff in the long run is
worth the effort when the search engines reward your effort and
your traffic and income grow proportionally as well.
