Increasing Hits

How to increase hits on an already indexed site

[paulclarke]

I have a 'uk property listing' based website that I first indexed with yahoo, dmoz and meta search engines about 18 months ago. The site gets about a 1000 hits a week and I need to get to 7000 hits a week at least.

I have already taken the following action.

New URL aimed at ukproperty keywords
Refresh tags on the old URL pages pointing to the new one. (all content removed from refresh taged pages except head tags)
Sumbbited new URL with Addweb 4
Advised DMOZ of change
Have submited to Yahoo in diffrect catagory but not not done anything about my old URL as still gets good hits.
I have submited about 50 county+property keyword pages to google and alta.co.uk
I am starting to submit using addweb 4 800 door way pages keyworded for towns.

Please can you advise what else I should do, and if I have done anything wrong so far.

Is it worth paying yahoo and others to index the site ? If I pay yahoo will they give me better keywords.

Thanks in advance

You shouldnt submit to google, let google find you

Firstly, Paying - only you can decide that based on your own past experience. If you are selling property then surely the margins are right to pay.

Secondly, You are at the mercy of the editor that reviews your site in Yahoo and a bad description and title can be almost impossible to change.

My advice would be to identify your main keywords then get them to make sense in a url. Purchase that domain name and then make the title of the site the same as the domain name. Then upon submitting to Yahoo the odds are in your favour - you will more than likely receive the keywords in the title of the editors description.

I hope this helps. If I ranted on to much at end, then send me a stickymail and i will explain clearly. :)
