First Page or Bust: 95% Come From Page One
“The company I work for just released a study on SERP (search engine results pages) click rates, and found that the sites surveyed received more than 95% of all their non-branded natural search traffic from page-one results pages across all three major engines.
This article is about the importance for your website to be on the first page of results for your keywords. Being on second page of results means your site will be exposed to 95% less people than possible from the first page.
I hope this article helps your SEO efforts! If you have questions please contact us!

How to get traffic using forums: -- HikeMySite.com
For the last several weeks I have been on a kick of linking to great articles that are already on the internet about search engine optimization and industry-related topics. This post is me, myself, and I. I think the SEO blogging community has not sufficiently praised the power of forum involvement to get traffic for your site.
Let me explain, if your site is submitted to all the top directories, you blog every day, and spend the time on quality content, it isn't enough. You'll have the infrastructure for a higher traffic site, without the traffic. Although there are many great ways to get traffic to your website, this post is solely about forum involvement.
Go to Google and search for your related industry forums. I'm willing to bet most industries have some sort of a forum-based organization to share ideas. Create an account with the forum(s). Make it your personal goal to interact with the forum and help as many people as possible. Your writing, research, or perspective will draw people's attention. If the first date goes well, they'll be viewing your website and blog. Boom, traffic!
Disclaimer: Don't try to build extra links while interacting on the forums. Most forums have strict policy on spamming and will often block your account.
Anywho, that's my two-cents on forum interaction for traffic. If y'all have any questions, please contact us.
