This is not to say though that everyone who practiced tricks similar to spamming activities is an unscrupulous business site owner. There have been activities that are smart to use if the site owner wants to attract more visits to his website. However, to level the playing field, search engine companies have devised ways to reduce this if not to altogether pull all the stops. Not addressing the issues will only make the information brought forth by search engines unreliable, it will also loose their users.

The more relevant the common content has, the better it will place you on ratings.

· Include only relevant keywords in your Meta keyword tags. You can be penalized by search engines for including keywords that have nothing to do with the content in your website.

· Search engines will also penalize pointer pages in your site. To avoid this, create contents rich pages that will provide users with useful information. Creating multiple sites that have no content except for the purpose of point the doorway to your site can also be detected and penalized.

Content rich information can also drive the traffic to your site.

Having content rich information pages can boost your ranking. Search engines love content rich pages and will redirect traffic to your site.

· Submitting your site to online directories can also improve traffic to your site. Do not limit your submission to big directories. Having your site on smaller directories can increase your ranking with major search engines.

· Link with content rich sites. You do not have to stop with one info page. The more you create links with relevant sites, the more you can multiply your site with separate links that points to your site where you can use specific keyword phrases to each individual site.
