I just finished reading a concise article about how to increase search engine traffic. I have been doing it all wrong. My strategy has always been to mention lots of celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and hope for a perfect storm where they all start walking around in public without all their clothes on. Now that that has happened, my web traffic has increased, but it is still very sad. Apparently, peppering your site with relevant keywords is only step one of e three step process. Getting sites with high page rank to link back to your site is an important way to increase traffic. I inadvertantly did this once by writing a post about Adam Duritz and putting a picture of Kevin Smith wearing a Sideshow Bob-like wig with it. The traffic came from Adam’s huge fan forum. I actually think most of the hits were from Adam himself. He is very self-absorbed.
