aim of driving traffic to your website from search engines (traffic gotten from search engines are known as organic traffic) to your site.

SEO TECHNIQUES

1. USING SOCIAL NETWORKS: 

Social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus and Pinterest are very essential in your walk on improving your site's SEO, basically because content shared from your blog to a social network almost immediately goes viral.
Let's say, for instance, you shared an article "Smart SEO Tips" from your blog to a social network, say, Facebook. Your friends on Facebook can do any of the following: like the link to the article, visit the link or comment on the link. any way, it is a win-win situation; whatever the option that is chosen, you stand at an advantage. Once your friend likes your link on Facebook, their friends get to see the notification. If per chance, they like the content of the link, they'll either like or visit the link or better still, they can do both; that way, the link to your blog can go viral and thus drive traffic to your site within days.
Consequently, Google Plus, a major social networking site,  is a big breakthrough for bloggers. Content shared on Google plus goes almost as viral as content shared on Facebook. Recently, Google Plus introduced a new page called "Community", it allowed members to join a large community of their choice. For instance, a HTML5 community or a CSS3 community. Note that a community usually can have up to 70, 000 members who share similar views and ideas where you can share your content and thus, your website gains the opportunity to increase its traffic through high quality back-links.

Pinterest is a social networking site that allows you to pin photos and graphic illustrations of things that interests you. If, for instance, your website was all about photography and you wanted to attract traffic to your website. All you've got to do is sign up for Pinterest, post a pin that includes your photography and just let it roll. Make sure to add and follow people on Pinterest, make a name on Pinterest and soon you'll have enough followers that will re-pin and comment on your photo or item. Ultimately, you have a greater chance
of leveraging those followers into traffic for your website.

2. GUEST POSTING / BLOGGING:

Guest posting or guest blogging involves posting articles on the website or blogs of others. Now, you should think of this as an avenue to generate back-links to your site. Often times, when you guest post, you are given the privilege to include a link to your blog or your email. Most preferably, it would be wiser to include a link in the article pointing to your blog; that way, you are assured of getting traffic through back-links.
Make sure you only write articles for websites with a Google Pagerank of at least 1. An unavailable or 0 pagerank is unacceptable and could ruin your SEO simply because Google gives more recognition to back-links gotten from high ranking websites than from lower ranking websites.

3. PINGING:

Pinging is a way of telling search engines that you have updated your page. It propels the search engine bots to crawl and index your site and thus your newer articles or content will now appear on search engine results.
