Church Administrators and Pastors - increasing web traffic

Anyone got any FREE ideas on how to increase web traffic to a church web site for FREE?

Did I mention I'm looking for FREE ways to do this?

In case you missed it... looking for FREE ways to do this.



Any tips? Ideas?


I'm aware of the fact that you can submit a site for a search engine to crawl with its web crawler, and to use really good meta tags, but any other ideas...?

ADMINS!

Please don't throw this into the Tech area.

No one goes there...

Post it here and you'll get tons of hits - just ask MOW!

Of course, it's not the type of traffic you are looking for!

That's why I haven't done so already.

Meta keywords are useless, well, less than useless. nobody indexes them any more.

Meta DESCRIPTION - different story. google bots index that.

Textual content on the home page is also indexed.

A what's New area on the home page, with new stuff that changes fairley frequently.

Also see http://www.seochat.com/

Lot of resources there.

Really there is no magic that will put you on top tommorow, but there are ways that will, OVER TIME, do the job.

Link exchanges also help rankings, Buuuttt.....since I am not about to link to a site that I don't like or whose content I find unacceptable, won't use that tool.

Thanks John
