It is the search engines that finally bring your website to the notice of the prospective customers. Hence it is better to know how these search engines actually work and how they present information to the customer initiating a search.
Basically there are two types of search engines. The first one is robots which are called crawlers or spiders. Search Engines use these spiders or crawlers to index websites. As soon as you submit your website pages to a search engine by implementing their necessary submission page, the search engine spider will index your entire site. A ‘spider’ is an automated program specifically run by the search engine system. Spider visits a web site, read the content on the actual site, the site’s Meta tags and also follow the links that the site connects. The spider then returns all that information back to a central depository, where the data is indexed. It will visit each link you have on your website and index those sites too. Some spiders will simply index a specific number of pages on your site, so don’t create a site with 500 pages!

The first step is to generate a large quantity of high quality articles. Do not just post anything and everything.

For instance, I know that technology is a hot topic on the internet, however, I do not know anything about technology so I choose not to write about it.
2. Proper Text/Font style and background color is another traffic-generating factor. Ask your web designer to come up with various combinations of text, font styles and size, colors, etc. Try to come up with a web design that is soothing to one’s eyes and that is literally compatible with most computers available now. If you focus on one certain font/text, style and color, make sure that it is readable to majority of computer types nowadays.
