I can totally relate to this topic on driving traffic to my site. When I first started out about 4 years ago I had no clue how to get people to my site so I started out by doing a click campaign which became extremely expensive. I then took the approach of doing ad banners on sites that had a lot of traffic that had a similar audience to what I was selling or promoting. Once I did this my sales took off. I then started seeking out all types of websites that had a lot of traffic of African American women and placing ads with those sites. Then I found as many black directories that were either free or had a small fee to post my listing. This really helped my sales and took my unique visitors up from 200 - 300 a month to in the thousands. Even though I had done this I still wasn't ranking in the search engines like I wanted so I did a little research and happened up on this e-book that was geared at getting top ranking over your competitors. I set a goal that I wanted to rank over my biggest competitor by the end of the year. I optimized all of my pages on my site, made a spread sheet of where I was currently ranking for a specific search phrase so I could keep track of my progress. I did the optimizing in late November 2007 and at that time was wasn't raking any where in the top 15 or 20 pages. By March and April 2008 I started ranking in the top three pages for 9 out of 12 of my top search phrases. Since then my unique visitors are just about around 10,000 a month which I consider awesome seeing how I was only receiving about 1000 this time last year.

Thank You for sharing. I have implemented a lot of things based on your posts. For example, I have a travel blog - to bring visibility to my blog, I have joined Blogher and Digg. I blog at least 2 times a week, trying to get to 3 times a week. The next thing I need to focus on is the keywords that I use for my Blogs and building relationships with other bloggers in a similar industry. I just implemented analytics code from google on my Blog site to determine the amount of traffic I'm getting.
Just wanted to let you know, I love the work and webwomen audio information. Thank You for sharing your knowledge!
