When I check my analytics from Google, under traffic sources it says "Direct"?
is that defined as they used a keyword or what? lol
"Direct" could be anywhere from:
- people who put your site in their favorites and clicked on it
- users who typed into your URL directly
- people who have used your site as their homepage
- people who clicked on your site by opening a new window/tab
- people who clicked on your link from an email client such as a Outlook
- any other errors are lumped as direct
In one of my sites, since my google Adwords and Analytics use different accounts, traffic coming from Adwords are not reported in the Adwords section of Analytics but as Direct traffic
Basically, "Direct" is a catch all term as a source of traffic.
How can I get better web traffic to my site?
I have a lingerie site. Been in business for about 6 years, www.mkalingerie.com, but now I'm on the internet. How can I get traffic so that I can get more customers and hits everyday. Please help I would appreciate it.
"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.
Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:
1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.
2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html
3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.
Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481
6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.
7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:
Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/…
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/
Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/
US Free Ads http://www.usfreeads.com/
8. Use pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com . The key is to keep a close eye on the ROI of the various keywords you use
can you use a phone number to find something in google maps?
i remember one time a couple of years ago i typed in a phone number in google and it gave me the address but now when i try to do it again it tells me its not found did they take this feature out or something?
make sure you type it in like this xxx-xxx-xxxx
they still have that feature
how can I get my url to the number one spot on the top search engine page of yahoo and google?
getting the best rating on search engine's
Become "viral"
Create a site where content is delivered to your site constantly by the input of other users (not unlike this site). You'll never have to worry about the search engine bots again as the users them-self will bookmark you and never use the search engine to find your site.
How do I stop my google searches from being redirected?
I’ve already deleted all web browser history + restarted, as well as ran superantispyware. But all of my google searches end up being redirected to random search sites or sales sites. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Your browser is hacked, try using Google Chrome and get a system scan at housecall.trendmicro.com

Build A Huge Number Of Incoming Backlinks And Get Free Targeted Web Site Traffic
The great thing is, that the free targeted traffic is not just a dream but a reality also. Search engines see the number of incoming backlinks like votes, which related web sites give to your site by setting your link on their page.
The search engines evaluate your site according to the number of incoming backlinks. The more your site has them, the more useful it is and the more higher search engines will place your site on the search result pages. And the more targeted web site traffic you will receive.
Sounds too easy to be true. But suprise, suprise, it is easy. The process is called web site optimization., which means using ways to get higher search engine position. So the key is to know, how search engines put all sites in certain order.
The first thing to get targeted web site traffic is to make a so called on page optimization.The keywords play a leading role in that process. As you know people search information in the internet by typing keywords or - phrases on the search bar and will get a list of pages as a result, which all include the keyword searched.
Now you understand that to be able to get the first place on the result page, you have to win all other pages. You can do this, it is not complicated, when you know according which factors search engines set the pages in certain order. The only target is to get the first place, because that will bring the maximum amount of targeted web site traffic to your site.
The keywords must be big enough but not too big, nor too small. You have to analyze the PR and the number of incoming backlinks at least from google, MSN aand Yahoo. It has my experience that keywords make it possible to get on a certain result page and the number of incoming backlinks make it possible to increase the position and finally to reach the number one position.
This and only this, is the order of issues in the optimization process. It means that by using only huge number of incoming backlinks, you cannot reach your target. The direction is missing. Keywords will direct your site to the right search result pages.
Because free targeted web site traffic is so important, you may wonder how you can build the amount of incoming backlinks, which is needed. How to make other websites to set your backlink on their page. Maybe the best way is to write keyword articles and distribute them using some software, which will broadcast them into hundreds of directories and websites with the click of the mouse
These articles will do two things. They will form the required number of incoming backlinks and they will pre sell the idea of your page and then bring these warm visitors into your website.
Could you hope anything better to your internet home business?
