The title explains it; put your website URL in your forum signature. It may sound like a small link-in, but it’s actually a huge source of traffic from large communities. The effect works better if you post a lot on a specific forum.

If you use an instant messaging protocol (e.g. AIM, MSN), take advantage of your status text to place your website URL. Even ask your friends to place it on theirs. I know, it might sound a little insignificant, but if it’s always there, it’s bound to attract a few people. Just a little tip from yours truly.

Here’s a quick SEO tip that will make a huge difference when it comes to Google or other search engines crawling your site. I have already told you about implementing keywords in a URL, but there is more to it than just plugging in the words. As you have probably read from the title already, use dashes to separate words in your URLs. This is a must when you’re making search engine-optimized articles and web pages.

According to Matt Cutts, a popular software engineer for Google and SEO expert, using dashes is the best way to separate words in a URL. Using underscores would be the next (but not the best) alternative, while not using anything to separate words would be the worst choice. I have no clue how all of this works, but I do know that it’s a way for search engines to recognize words from another. Just because it’s not alive doesn’t mean it can’t read right?
