Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Need to build traffic to your web site? Using
links is a great way to build traffic. Not only
will they increase traffic to your web site, they
will help in giving you a higher page rank in Google
and other search engines. With a higher page
ranking, you will naturally get more traffic as your
web site will be seen more quickly. There are a
few different ways to use links. Each has its own
advantage.

How to use one - way links to your advantage.

Using inbound, one - way links to your site brings traffic
from other web sites. To use this method to its best
advantage, find web sites that are relevant to yours.
E - mail the site owner, asking if he or she would place
your link of their site. Include information about what
you offer on your site that would compliment their business.
There will be many who will not be interested in placing
your link on their site, but there are many who will. Just
keep trying. It is best to do this with sites of a page ranking
of 5 or higher as they will be getting a lot of traffic. Having a
link to your site from a highly placed site will help to bring your
page ranking up, too, thereby increasing your own traffic from
the search engines.

How to use two way links.
Two - way links are easier to get than one - way links
simply because they are reciprocal. Both sites will
benefit. Again, find sites that are relevant to your site
as this will make it easier to get link partners. Send an
e - mail to the owners of the sites you have selected, telling
them what your offer that is relevant to their customers.
Concentrate on sites with a high page ranking. This means
increased traffic to your site and will help get a higher page
ranking for you. Don’t be discouraged if many do not respond
to your inquiry. Keep trying and you will get a few two - way links.

Using Link Exchanges.
If you want an easier way to get two - way links for your site,
try a link exchange site or software. There are many available.
Go to your preferred search engine and enter ‘link exchanges’.
Your will find many choices this way. Some people prefer using
software and others prefer using a link exchange site. One of the
best link exchange sites is MetroLinks.com. Most link exchanges
operate in much the same way. You select the relevant sites you
would like to link to and submit a request to them. Then you watch
for your requests to be accepted. Not all will be accepted but many
will. Once accepted, you can place the sites’ links on your web site.
Again, concentrate on sites with a high page ranking. Usually, link
exchange sites have different levels of membership. Most will have
a free level with limited features. If you can, choose an upgraded
membership as this will give you greater flexibilty to easily get the link
exchanges you want.

After using links to your site, either one - way or two - way,
you will find this to be one of the best means of increasing
your traffic. Continued use will keep traffic at a high level for
a very long time. Try it, you’ll like it!.
