Marketing Ideas? Help!

[Nikolas741]

I need some help here!

I was doing this internet marketing for quite some time to improve my website traffic and rankings on the search engine results.
I have done:
* blogging
* directory submission
* article submission
* and forum posting
still the traffic i have is not enough to make my site visible to the top of the search engine results.

Is there other strategies i haven't tried?

When you're looking at SEO as a factor of ONline Marketing, it is without doubt going to be a matter of combining your on-stie SEO and off-site SEO factors to build your positioning in the search engines...

I'm presuming it it the cartridge site you are referring to and have been optimising...

On-site SE-wise, I'd look to build your content and link structure... introduce more keyword rich copy which is specific to the page it is contaned on - each page's theme should be optimised individually. And don't be afraid to get some in-line anchor text in there too... And it goes without saying get some rich content on there - RSS feeds etc...

As for the off-site SEO work it's evident you've been doing some good Online Marketing with Links - but you can always do more... Get your relevant articles written and out there and link back - it's all about the theme of the site and the articles pointing to it - the more articles, and more relevant they are the better...

Hope that's a reasonable starting point!

What timeframe have you been working on it for by the way? And which keywords are you targeting? I have a number of clients at present in the toner cartridge industry...

Okay, what you've tried out is *low end* link development methods. These are the strategies I use to top up existing link campaigns, and would never dream of using only these type of links to try and compete for anything competitive.

The problem is, you're in a very competitive market for starters - secondly, you need to think not in terms of link volume, but link authority

That means you'll probably have to consider setting aside a significant marketing spend just for link development, if you're really serious about developing organic traffic.

Got to admit, I think you still have a lot of room to develop the ink site better - I look at that, and I immediately think low conversion rate.

You need to research on keywords and optimize targeted keywords to gain good results in SERPs, also Social media optimization is one of the way to attract visitors, social neworking and bookmarking sites help lot for traffic probably you missed to add these in your list.

social neworking and bookmarking sites help lot for traffic probably you missed to add these in your list.

In my experience, the visitors that come from bookmarking sites like digg.com rarely venture past the article page and into the rest of the site.

Target your online ads. Untargetted advertising is like spam - and we all know what the clickthrough rate for spam is like..
