Here goes, the simplest rule you will ever have to follow when it comes to getting a website ranked:
- Drive traffic
How you get the traffic really doesn't matter. Tell your friends, send an email to your existing subscribers, put a link on Facebook, tell your local networking group about it. Hell, put an ad in the paper, buy some AdWords.
Do a press release (a real one–not an “SEO press release”).
Just get people to your site.
That's the Golden Rule, or Rule #1.
You will have to wait for Rule #2. If you can't wait and like to speculate, tell me what you think Rule #2 is in the Comments.
2) Give ’em what they came for, and more, so they not only come back, but use those nice little sharing icons you so thoughtfully included. Then, before they leave, get them on your list.
Yeah, pretty much in line what I had in mind. Tomorrow, come back to see my answer 🙂
Your answer actually most closely aligns with my Rule #3!
