“Ranking and Website Traffic”
It is worth cataloguing the basic principles to be enforced to increase website traffic and search engine rankings.

• Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and accordingly modify your web pages so your search engine ranking remains high. Use online tools and utilities to keep track of how your website is doing.
• Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content, keywords, etc.
