How to get website visitors without SEO

Hi, as you should know from other posts, I'm an SEO expert, so this might seem like an odd post to write, but hey you must have options huh.

To get visitors to your website without doing SEO you can list your website in directory's like the one owned by the owner of this blog Rainbow Tourism Accommodation Directory this is itself won't get visitors to your site, but when submitting your accommodation website, you have the option of paying a fee to have a link to your website.

In most directory's that will also mean that your website will also appear first in listing and search results.

This will cost you anywhere from $100 to $1500 a year depending on the directory, and how popular it is.

As I have mentioned in another post, some... in fact many directory's will put a no-follow link on these links to your website, which means search engines will not visit your website when they see the link like this, so be careful, you will get visitors though, so some of you may think it's worth it.

Since Canz Design Web Solutions are rebuilding the Rainbow Tourism.com website, we know for sure that that this site does not have this sleazy type of link.
  1. So not only will you get more visitors,
  2. The link will cost close to the lower end of the prices I quoted above, and
  3. The link will help your site get listed higher in search engines, since the search engine will see that the link comes from a website thats about Accommodation, and going to your website which is of course about accommodaion,
  4. An added bonus is since your website will be listed on rainbow tourism in a category that is about the the country of the world you live in, and the area you live in, that along with the link mentioned above, is seen as a link to your wesite that worth two links.

There of course are other ways, paying for advertising on websites, I heard of a place the other day, that costs $1000 AUS per month, and there is no gaurantee that anyone will click on it.

Then there is always google adwords, but since so many other accommodation websites use adwords, you have to pay hug amounts to get your website just to appear high enough or even on page 1 of google, and then of course if someone clicks on it, you can easily have to pay, $40 + just for one click.

Have to agree with Lynn on this one. Rainbow Tourism has been approached in the past to list on a number of websites. Rates from $50 a month for basic listings which often don't even include a weblink. We always look at the google rank, alexa rank and other tools to see if it is worth advertising. We also check how many times we actually get visitors from the site. We also see how many people are advertising on the site. Too many people and you won't be found even on a popular site.
