The long road home
Deported illegal workers face the long arm of the law
http://www.magicvalley.com/articles/2008/03/30/news/top_story/133809.txt
Most of the 28 shackled, brown-skinned men deported March 13 by federal agents from the Twin Falls airport still saw giving up as out of the question.
They teased fellow travelers with unusual last names: Salado Рrisqu̩ Рand Lechuga Рlettuce. They stayed jovial at the end of a video informing them of their rights. On the grimmest of days, they tried to raise each other's spirits.
There were other reasons to eagerly board the flight. Some wanted to escape the blustery chill. For others, the unmarked MD-83 jet, with U.S. Marshals and government contractors for flight attendants, offered a first-ever flight.
In this crowd of strangers, a sense of comradery took hold, making the trip more endurable.
Crossing a legal border
Antonio Carrillo could see only two options: give up and go home or fight deportation.
The majority of the deportees – 15 in all – took seats toward the back of of the 172-seat jet. They remained apart from those who were not fighting deportation.
At the plane's final stop, in Phoenix, the 15 involuntary deportees would go before a judge to make one last plea to stay in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say all will certainly lose.
"Most of them, they don't have a case," said Steven Branch, ICE's Salt Lake City-based director of detention and removal. His office has handles an average of 3,750 removals per year from Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Montana.
Those who fight deportation and lose are sent home under a removal order. They face a felony charge if they return to the U.S.
Those who chose not to fight are simply returned to Mexico. It they sneak back across the border, they face no criminal charge. Some make the round-trip more than once.
"I'd rather obtain a removal order to stop the revolving door," Branch said. "Sometimes a felony return sinks in and it scares the heck out of them."
The deportees' hopeful pursuit for appeals may also describe their obedient – almost passive – behavior as they are processed.
Since the summer of 1998, authorities have corralled Montana and Idaho deportees in Twin Falls for shipment to their native country without ever having a serious incident. Not once have the armed ICE officers and Marshals needed to pull a trigger.
The closest thing anyone recalls to an escape is a man who once tried to run, only to bounce off a locked detention cell door in Salt Lake City.
International stockade
Montana and Idaho mainly by local law enforcement from crimes ranging from a speeding ticket to murder. A smaller group are arrested by immigration agents.
Arrests made directly by ICE or U.S. Border Patrol agents can often start with an operation targeting criminal aliens but lead to arrests of non-criminal immigrants caught in the cross-fire.
Since the inception of ICE in March 2003, immigration agents have arrested and detained 3,355 immigrants in six south-central Idaho counties, according to ICE records obtained by a public information request.
"It's a tough job," Branch said. "We knock on doors at 6 o'clock in the morning. The whole family is there. 'Come outside so we can arrest you away from your family.' People don't realize we don't make the laws up. We enforce the laws. Congress has passed the laws."
In exceptional cases, ICEagents allow families to fly home together voluntarily on commerical flights.
When the jails across Idaho and Montana fill up, usually once or twice a week. Vans haul the men to the TwinFalls County jail for the night. The next morning after breakfast at the jail, ICE agents transfer them to a federal processing office on Addison Avenue East, where they are deposited into a cubic, white-walled holding cell with a single toilet that rests an inch out of view of a surveillance camera.
The group grows to only 28 today but agents have seen it swell to as many as 75 men. Women are always kept separate. After the deportees watch a 40-minute movie about their rights, they are brought one-by-one out of the room by the much smaller number of agents. Their morning breath festers in the close quarters. They are cuffed and shackled to belly chains, inspected, then returned to the cell until the bus in the back parking lot is ready to go.
Once the processing is complete, they load into a white bus parked in a gated area behind the building. With the exception of screens on the windows that prevents the public from looking in, the 47-seat bus looks like a Greyhound bus.
But on the inside, the front is split from the main cabin by a metal divider. The bus is wired – with monitors showing officers activity in the back and with a scrambled federal radio channel that connects the officers on board to the several vans caravaning to the airport.
The vehicles wait on the tarmac for an unmarked charter jet containing only U.S. Marshals and private contractors, who will fly them to Salt Lake City to pick up a second batch of immigrants. Then to scoop up more at another regional city, and on until El Paso, Texas, and finally Phoenix, Ariz.
But these flights won't go to their native countries – whether Mexico or elsewhere. Those flights, which will happen later, entail handing the immigrants off to their respective governments.
Preparing a defense
During this process, the men, some who cannot read, usually with meager educations, will not be afforded a lawyer. They lack awareness of immigration law, or U.S. laws altogether for that matter, which leaves them to quietly invent the odds of winning their case, and an argument for swaying a judge.
What's Antonio Carrillo's case?
At the ICE office on Addison Avenue East, his mind is not on the departure two hours away, or even his home in Chihuahua Parral, Mexico. It's on his girlfriend in Bozeman, Mont., who is entering her third trimester of pregnancy, and their impending wedding.
He has told her not to worry: he has no legal help, but he'll take care of it. After all, he and eight of the other men today have committed no crime, beyond a traffic ticket.
"She knows I'm in jail," Carrillo said, looking prim in a black pinstripe buttoned shirt. "She doesn't know what's going to happen. She doesn't know (if I lose) I can never come back."
He threw his hands into the air, "Maybe I'll win."
It's worse for Carrillo, 19, if he loses the hearing.
It will mean he cannot simply marry his fiancee and move back because that would trigger a felony. If he voluntarily left, it would give him a blank slate to the American government. He seems unclear on this point.
Still at the processing office, the bus is ready to take the men to the airport. Carrillo returns to the holding cell, where men are called out by agents wearing blue latex gloves to be searched and cuffed.
Carrillo, who was happy being photographed before the cuffs went on, now declines to have his picture taken. ICE gives the men street clothes so they don't have to wear the jail garb of the county where they were arrested. It's important to him that he not be viewed as a criminal.
Roots of an arrest
It's also important for Luis Delacruz, of central Peru. As a convicted criminal, he has no chance of winning his appeal.
But he has a plan:Make a case against racism.
After joining his brother and cousins in Hailey five years ago, Delacruz, 32, had a roofing job. He bought a car and hoped to start saving money – money that might justify leaving his wife back home in Peru.
But then Delacruz had too much to drink and tried to buy more. He showed his Peruvian ID to a mini-mart clerk, who reported him. Soon afterward, a Blaine County deputy arrested him for driving under the influence.
To Delacruz, the cause of his deportation isn't his status as an illegal immigrant or drinking and driving. It's racism.
"Why do they imagine these things about us?" he said with a sigh. "I'm leaving with what I came with. I'm not thinking about coming back. You're too far from the people you love."
That's the sentiment of the case he'll make, which carries no legal weight, at the civil proceeding.
He recalls leaving his wife at the airport in Peru five years ago, promising her he'd return with more money than he left with. She bawled, and even reconsidered letting him go.
He's protesting his deportation, he said, because he still has debts here and feels ashamed that he won't be able to pay it back.
If he wins his appeal, he says, he'll be back to pay up.
Chances of that happening are slim.
It's unclear what happens to the immigrants once they reach their seats inside the airplane. The charter plane, unlike the bus, looks on the inside like a typical airliner. As the Marshals finish packing plastic garbage bags containing their livelihoods – a book, an extra pair of clothes, a cowboy hat, court papers – into the undercarriage, something shuts off.
The men lose their smiles. The laughter, both contrived for each other and authentic, halts. The men, all with closely cropped black hair, stare forward at the seat ahead. As Marshals retract the stairwell, the cabin permeates with only the calm hum of the engines.
They fought deportation because they have the right to do so.
I don;t agree with any of what is said in this article.

" Conmocción desde España "The case of Josef Fitzl, the Austrian retired electrician who has kept locked in a basement for 24 years for her daughter and three children he had with her has shocked world public opinion. These are the 50 keys of what happened,'' August 1984. Josef Fritzlar, an electrician in Austria 50 years, holds her daughter Elisabeth, 18, in the basement of his home in Amstetten, Austria.
2. Amstetten. Locality Austrian located northeast of the country, in Lower Austria, with about 22,600 German-speaking inhabitants. Birthplace of Josef Fritzlar, 73 years ago. At a nearby gas station, on the motorway from Vienna to Salzburg, he worked Elisabeth in the early 80.
3. APRIL 2008. Kristen, a girl aged 19, was taken to hospital with symptoms of being seriously ill. It is one of the daughters Elisabeth, now 42 years. Kristen is unconscious, but it has a note in which his mother asks for help for the young. Doctors seeking unsuccessfully history of the patient. Notice to the Police and history come to light: Josef Fritzlar has remained closed to Elisabeth for 24 years and has had seven children with her. Three of them (the very Kerstin; Stephan, 18, and Felix, 5) have shared captivity with the mother, another died, and the remaining three (Lisa, 15 years; Monika, 14, and Alexander, 13) lived with Josef and his wife, Rosemarie (Elisabeth's mother), on top of one's own home. Rosemarie ensures that knew nothing.
4. Arrests. On April 27, police announced the arrest of Fritzlar, accused of unlawful restraint and sexual abuse. Shortly before, Josef had released her daughter and their children-grandchildren. The detainee confessed the whole. Then, decides to remain silent until the trial.
5. DNA. Two days later, police confirmed that DNA tests conducted to confirm that Fritzlar is the father of the children of Elisabeth.
6. Abuse. Elisabeth suffered the first sexual abuse of his father in 1977, when she was eleven years. Since then she was raped and beaten systematically. He spent the first nine years of his confinement in a single stay of the basement (not until 1993 his father organized other spaces). Children born at that time witnessed continuing violations. Fritzlar kept handcuffed the first two days of captivity, and during the six or nine months remained tied. Police ruled that Josef Fritzlar had abused their children.
7. Background. Fritzlar was jailed for 18 months in 1967 for sexually abusing a young woman in Linz (Austria). He was also subsequently arrested for attempted rape and exhibitionism. In addition, the Police is investigating its connection with the murder, still unsolved, a woman, Martina Posch, 22 years ago.
B
8. Search. When Elisabeth was locked up in 1984 his mother reported his disappearance, but, being older, the police thought that he had left home on his own will and no longer look it up. In fact, Elisabeth was locked up by his father after returning to his home after an initial escape attempt.
9. Babies. The three children who lived with Josef and Rosemarie were left on the door of the house shortly after birth (in 1993, 1994 and 1997). They were legally adopted by his grandparents.
C
10. Carter. Fritzlar forced his daughter to write letters to keep the secret safe, especially any suspicions of Rosemarie. In the first, 1984, Elisabeth said she was going home and who did not seek. The three children who were appearing at the door of the house later iban accompanied by letters from Elisabeth in which ensured that he could not take care of them.
11. Wedge. Christine R., sister-in-law of Fritzlar and sister Rosemarie, says he always humbled his sister and mistreated their children. It also noted that Josef fell to the basement every morning, "supposedly to draw maps of some machines that wanted to sell." "Sometimes spent all night there. Now you know why," he added.
12. Dungeon. The dungeon built in the basement of his home by Fritzlar has about 80 square meters, and stretched under the garden of the house. It is accessed through a sliding door concrete than 300 kilos of weight, hidden behind a bookcase. There was a staircase entrance, a laundry room, two bedrooms, 3 square metres and a small kitchen next to a bathroom. Some parts of zulo had no more than 1.70 meters high. Ventilation came from a tube.
13. Code. The door of the basement could only be opened using a secret code known only by Fritzlar. The code shareholders an engine electronically. Fritzlar had activated a mechanism so that the door is opened only if he disappeared.
14. Construction. Fritzlar planned and built the dungeon one year before locking her daughter there, and after seeking permission to reform the building. The plans were approved, but did not include rooms in the basement.
15. Food. Josef was responsible for supplying food and clothing to locked. When was travelling left them food reserve.
16. CIEN. Police intended to interrogate hundred people who went through the house during these 24 years (Fritzlar rented rooms at the top). The investigation could go on for at least two months. Researchers can only work in the zulo followed for half an hour due to lack of oxygen.
17. Damn. Fritzlar, in custody, faces a possible sentence of at least 15 years in prison if found guilty of the charge of rape, the most serious of his alleged crimes, according to Austrian law.
18. Complications. The evidence analyzed so far ruled that no family member acting as an accomplice. Although the police insisted that Fritzlar acted alone, the head of the investigation stated that "someone in the family should know something." In this regard, the German magazine Brigitte said that one of the children living in the upper house had a copy of the key that gave the basement. Dubanovsky Alfred, a man who was 12 years renting a room in the house of Fritzlar, said that he saw another man fell next to his home in the basement. He added that this man was a plumber, and it drew attention because he was trying to enter prohibited in that part of the house.
D
19. Drugs. Fritzlar told police he had locked her daughter to "protect and keep away from drugs".
20. Damage. Encerrado without natural light and isolated from the world throughout his life, the children of Fritzlar have developed various phobias and fears. They feel panic before the blue tones of mobile phones, traffic in the city … In addition, they speak with gruñidos (communicate among themselves with a language itself) and prefer to crawl. The small, five-year, is "joyful and vital", and was fascinated to sit for the first time in a car. The two biggest need at least eight years of therapy. Experts have advised that for the moment, live in a house without windows. The three, like her mother, have skin problems. Kristen has lost almost all their teeth.
21. Fainting. Kristen was transferred to hospital after suffering a fainting, a result of illness endured. According to some sources, his condition is typical of the evils that can lead to having children at an incestuous relationship. Other media point to an infection.
E
22. Ageing. Elisabeth looks 20 years over which it has. It has very white hair and skin almost transparent due to lack of sunlight.
F
23. Pictures. Despite that have been disclosed both photographs of Josef Fritzlar as Elisabeth, the Austrian authorities have warned that any media to publish pictures or intimate details of the victims could be fined up to 20,000 euros. The authorities are studying the possibility of changing the name to protect the victims.
G
24. GAS. Police investigating whether Fritzlar built a device to the zulo be filled gas in the event that something will happen to him. Threats to the gas locked in the dungeon if they tried to break free, which could partly explain why Elisabeth would not have never tried to attack you.
H
25. Daughter. Elisabeth took their seven children in the course of 14 years. The conditions under which took place deliveries are still being investigated. The first, Kristen, was born in 1988, and Stephan was born in 1990. Lisa and Monika 'appeared' on the door of the house when they were nine and ten months old. In 1996 twins were born. One of them died within three days and the other, Alexander, 'appeared' also 15 months later at the door of the home. The last, Felix, was born in 2003. According to police, Fritzlar chose the children who took on his health status and its "inclination to mourn."
I
26. Incineration. According said Elisabeth, the sister of the dead body was cremated by Josef in the garden.
27. Social impact. The case of Josef Fritzlar has shocked both the town of Amstetten, besieged these days by hundreds of journalists, as the entire Austrian society, especially when it happened barely two years after it was known the case of Natascha Kampusch, the young man who was kidnapped near Vienna for eight years. Some local media also have questioned one type of society in which there may be cases like this one: "Everything should be ashamed Amstetten.'s Neighbors closed their eyes" (Österreich), "The entire community must ask itself what is happening" (Der Standard). Some 200 people gathered in the main square of Amstetten carrying candles to express their "anger" and "deep sorrow" for what happened. "Every day spent in front of the house; should have done something," said one of the assistants.
28. Ignorance. Elisabeth has exculpado his mother from captivity and abuse he suffered, making sure that she knew nothing. "He never had anything to do," he said.
J
29. JUDGE. "All the procedures were tough, the pieces were consistent," said Josef Schluegl judge, who granted in their day-to Fritzlar custody of a child, not knowing that it was actually his son, after reading a letter in which Elisabeth asked their parents to take care of small and not try to look it up. "Impossible to imagine that he was kidnapped and forced him to write," he added.
K
30. KAMPUSCH, Natascha. The young Austrian 20-year-old Natascha Kampusch, who reappeared in 2006 after spending eight years sequestered, announced the donation of 25,000 euros for victims of Fritzlar. He also made an international appeal to raise money for the family.
L
31. Lynchings. Fritzlar has been isolated in prison Sankt Polten before the danger that other prisoners might lynched. "The murderers and rapists of minors are seen as the lowest scale and deplorable, so often suffer attacks extremes," said Günter Mörwald, director of the prison.
M
32. Monster. Most of the Spanish press has dubbed Josef Fritzlar as "The Monster of Amstetten." The French daily Le Figaro spoke of "the father of darkness".
33. May, RUDOLPH. It's lawyer Fritzlar. Counsel famous in Austria, Der Spiegel assured that their work is "to show Josef Fritzlar as a human being" after being presented as "a horrible monster and a tyrant sex." "When I saw him for the first time I seemed like a patriarch with good and bad sides, broken, very emotionally affected," he said.
N
34. Nazis. The clinic where he recovered Elisabeth and their children, in the town of Mauer, also has its own dark past. During World War II, hundreds of people died here victims of euthanasia practices carried out by the Nazis between 1941 and 1944.
Or
35. Other cases. We discovered in Amstetten has brought to mind other similar events, apart from the mentioned Natascha Kampusch. Gouardo Lydia, a French 45 year said they had been raped and tortured for 28 years by his father, with whom she had six children between 1982 and 1993, has shown its desire to meet Elisabeth. Moreover, the Austrian police reopen the case of 64 missing children in the country, five of which are missing from their homes for more than 10 years.
P
36. Posch, Martin. He was murdered 22 years ago, when he was 17. His body was found in Lake Mondsee and so far the case has not yet been resolved. Fritzlar's wife then had a restaurant on the banks of the lake, not far from Amstetten.
37. Properties. Fritzlar enjoyed a comfortable financial position. He was registered as sole owner of six real estate, spread over several localities of Lower Austria. The list includes the family home, three buildings with many apartments and commercial premises, another house and a plot, with an estimated value of about 2.2 million. In one of these solar acquired by Fritzlar just three years ago, had moved tens of cubic meters of earth.
38. Imprisonment. In prison Sankt Polten, Fritzlar occupies a cell with a small window by which natural light enters, overlooking a garden. It has radio and television and can go for a walk once a day.
39. Profile. Joseph Fritzlar, 74-year-old retired electrician, has been described by police as a "very intelligent". His neighbors considered him a figure respectable within the community. His sister-in-law, however, he now qualifies for "despot". His neighbours claim that always tried to appear tan, flirting with women and that drew attention for the way he had exaggerated care of your garden. Others noted that ruled his home "as a lieutenant general," and that it was very jealous of their privacy. A former co-worker noted that "was always well dressed, as a diplomat." It belonged to the club's fishing Amstetten.
Q
40. Complaint. Some of the tenants of Fritzlar complained that often disappeared as the refrigerator of the house. One of them said not understand because Fritzlar "seemed to enjoy a good economic situation."
R
41. Reunification. Each child of Elisabeth (except Kristen, who remained hospitalized) and her mother met for the first time last April 27, at the clinic where they are receiving treatment. The centre's director described as "astonishing" and "exciting" the "ease with which came together", both boys among themselves, as with his mother Elisabeth. Rosemarie told her daughter that it felt and that he had no "no idea".
S
42. Suicide. In prison, Fritzlar remains under surveillance 24 hours to avoid dealing with kill himself.
43. Sect. Fritzlar maintained all these years version of her daughter Elisabeth had been picked up by a sect, which obliged him to get rid of their children. The Chief of Police of Lower Austria noted that "this man did not leave any place without tying in order to deceive his family, his wife, their relatives, children and the world around him."
T
44. Thailand. The German tabloid newspaper Bild Zeitung reported in a video that appears Fritzlar during a holiday in Thailand. It was recorded by a German friend who traveled with the Asian country. In the video you can see how Fritzlar, swimwear, receives a massage from a woman on the beach. In another scene, is preparing to eat a piece of meat and it looks very good mood.
45. Tourism. The Austrian authorities have shown their concern about the effect of tourism in cases like that of Fritzlar or Kampusch. Franz Grossglockner, head of the department of Tourism of Austria, told the AP agency: "Who will want to visit this country? For every wonderful summit snowfall or every cathedral we also have begun a world war, or choose to admit as xenophobes rulers, rapists and incestuous psychopaths in the headlines …".
U
46. Usurpation of staff. In at least one occasion, Fritzlar was going through his daughter Elisabeth to announce by telephone that his wife had left one of the babies at the door of the house.
V
47. Summer. Fritzlar had planned to end the confinement this summer, according to British newspaper Daily Mail. Apparently, "no longer endure" his daughter, and was "tired of his dual life" and therefore had decided to return to Elisabeth of the alleged sect which allegedly had ido 24 years ago.
W
48. WEB. Internet is the medium that is giving more complete and updated case. In www.20minutos.es there is continuous renewal with photos and videos.
X
49. X. The case of 'monster Amstetten "is full of questions and unknowns still to be resolved: How is it possible that no member of the family, especially his wife of Fritzlar, suspected nothing, nor neighbours and acquaintances of the couple? Who Caring for Fritzlar was locked when traveling? How were the births in that zulo what happened when one of the children, especially infants being, fell seriously ill How justified Fritzlar before his wife extra expenditure on food, clothing , Etc.?
Z
50. Zul. The basements like the one used as Fritzlar zulo received grants from the Austrian government during the Cold War to be used as shelters before a possible nuclear attack

Hi there, I run a company producing "ipod decals" – paper thin, protective ipod covers which also offer an intricate design.
We offer a range of pre made designs on our website, and custom designs – in my local area i have found students to be enthusiastic about it – ordering pre made, and custom ones with photos / bands on etc.
You can see our site at http://www.pimp-my-ipod.com
I was hoping for some suggestions for increasing traffic? I am a web developer by trade so let the jargon roll on!
Analytics shows I have about 80 visits a day, mainly from referring sites / search engines, and I would estimate about 2 sales a week at the moment. The site is a few months old.

Hi James,
Sounds like you have an exciting business.
Since your market is iPod owners, have you considered using a niche mailing list of 1) people who registered their iPods or 2) one based on the habits/hobbies of the iPod owner?
You can then send your target market an email (if you rent an opt in list), personalized direct mail and/or PURL (personal URL) to advertise your business.

noob
i have a website that is for a local area and i want all the people that want my service to be able to see my website at the top of page 1 on search engines.
This site has some good information on your topic:
http://www.kissmyebook.com
I have operated a couple web sites for almost a year. Tried advertising in my local paper. Listing to free classified ads. Listed to major search engines. Also perform surfing sites to cause traffic to be sent to my sites. So far, I have only had a few sales. Does anyone have any ideas they can suggest at little or no cost to me? I am looking for quality potential customers rather than just more traffic. My sites are set up with huge discounts to attract sales. Please help. Thank you.
Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it's easier said than done.
You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com
Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:
1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.
2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!
Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html
3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.
If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm
4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.
Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481
6. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:
Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/…
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/

How do I get traffic or even search engine results to show up for a local website that no one even knows about right now? I attempted putting http://www.fitnessthatpays.com/ into google and yahoo and they said wait several weeks… should my meta keywords be the same on every page or should they be unique to each page?
Several criteria determine the amount of traffic your website gets but by far the most important are to have a good search engine ranking and good links to your site.
Search engines use a complicated and secret algorithm to determine which sites are placed where in the rankings but there are several tricks you can employ to boost you ranking.
There's lots of articles on the net to do with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) but I ignore all of them and do things my way. This seems to work as every site I've created ranks within the top 6 on Google even when there's millions of results found. A site I created less than a week ago is already ranked number 1 by Yahoo and Google.
These are some of my tips…
– GIVE YOUR PAGE A GOOD TITLE TAG –
One of the first things a search engine looks at is the title tag of the page. When writing the tag use the same words people are likely to key in when using a search engine. For example, if your page is about space travel then a title such as "Space Travel – Be a Shuttle Rocket Tourist and Journey to the Moon" is much better than "All about flying to the moon and back". Why? Because the first tag includes words people are likely to use in a search engine such as space, travel, shuttle, rocket, tourist, journey and moon.
– GIVE YOUR PAGE A RELEVANT NAME –
Search engines look at page names. If your domain was mydomain.com then a page name such as mydomain.com/space-travel will do much better than mydomain.com/section1/part2/page3.
– USE THE DESCRIPTION TAG –
Some search engines including Google support this tag – others don't.
Compare a Yahoo search for 'Black Eyed Peas' to a Google Search. Both of them find blackeyedpeas.com but Yahoo describe it as "… Multi-platinum 2-time Grammy-winners The Black Eyed Peas cross an historic threshold as their hit … The Black Eyed Peas, Sergio Mendes, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and others …". Google uses the description tag and describes it as "Official site includes videos, message boards, tour dates, and photo gallery. Additional content is available to members."
– USE THE ALT TAG –
Some search engines ignore the alt tag, others include it when spidering your site. Not only that but some visually impaired users and power-surfers who turn off images rely on alt tags.
– FLASH ANIMATION / SCRIPTING / DHTML –
Spiders are unable to follow these linking systems. If all your pages are linked using Flash, DHTML or scripts then the spider won't follow the links and your pages won't get indexed. If you're designing your site this way the least you can do it to include conventional text links to the main pages of your site and ideally to a Site Map that contains text links to every page.
– SPLASH PAGES –
These are the animated front pages to a site, usually nothing there other than an animation and a 'Skip Intro' link. Spiders don't like Splash and as this is the doorway to your site think carefully before creating one.
– DOORWAY PAGES –
These are pages that exist on a site but are not accessible to the visitor, if someone tries to access the page they are redirected elsewhere. Historically webmasters created such pages and stuffed them full of popular keywords and phrases.
Spiders have wised up to Doorways and there's nothing better for getting yourself pushed right down in the rankings or kicked out altogether than use of Doorway Pages.
– HIDDEN TEXT –
Some web pages hide text by printing white text on a white background for example. Often such text has nothing at all to do with the site but is just a list of popular words and phrases used to draw people to the site. Spiders can spot tricks like these and will penalise sites that employ such tactics.
– PUT A HEADING ON YOUR PAGE –
The heading should closely match the page title. You need to format the heading as a Heading Style and not simply use bold and underlined text.
– REPEAT KEYWORDS AND PHRASES –
Include in the text of your page several instances of keywords and phrases people may use in a search engine. Using the space travel example your page should include words such as space, travel, fly, moon, space-tourist and so on. Repeat them frequently but don't overdo it.
– USE OF THE KEYWORD TAG –
This is something that's falling out of favour with search engines. Originally this was a useful tag for ensuring your page contained variants of words, particularly those that are often mis-spelled (e.g. Britney, Britany, Brittany, Spears, Spiers etc). I haven't used this tag for some time and I've heard people say it can be detrimental to search engine rankings.
– AVOID 404 (PAGE NOT FOUND) ERRORS –
Spiders hate these and after finding one or two on your site will leave it. Don't rely on an E404 page to take visitors to a designated page when the target page is missing.
– ADD YOUR SITE TO DIRECTORIES –
You can add your site to appropriate categories in online directories. There's hundreds of them altogether but the 4 main ones are…
http://dir.yahoo.com/
http://www.wikidweb.com/
http://www.dmoz.org/
http://directory.google.com/
There's an extensive list here… http://www.seocompany.ca/directory/free-web-directories.html
– SEARCH ENGINE SUBMISSION –
Google dominates the search engine market, Yahoo and MSN are the other two key players. A lot of the others use Google.
If you can get your site indexed by these three then you've pretty much covered all your bases. Rather than waiting for the spiders to find you it may help to add your site to the submission lists.

– ESTABLISH GOOD LINKS –
This is the most important factor of all. You need lots of relevant and 'respected' pages linking back to yours as each link scores bonus points in the rankings algorithm. The best links are those from trusted sites that are themselves established. For example, if the space travel site has links from NASA, the European Space Agency, ABC News and the like it will give it a serious boost in the rankings. One link from NASA would be worth more than a whole bunch of links from less relevant sites.
It's worth taking the time and effort to get links from as many sites as possible. Visit relevant sites and e-mail the webmaster with details of your site.
Because links are vitally important your site has to be make people want to link to it. I make it a policy to never link to sites that have pop-ups and I'm sure many other people do too.
– HAVE A GOOD SITE –
When creating your site think how it's going to appear to visitors. Bear in mind different people use different browsers and have different connection speeds. A large page might look fantastic to someone with a fast connection will be a real pain to someone with a slow connection. If you need to put advertising on your site then make it relevant and discreet – one thing guaranteed to get someone off your site is to have pop-ups and 'in yer face' advertising, can you think of any successful site that employs these tactics?
If your site is an informative one then make it so visitors can get the information they want quickly – don't go for Flash intros and complicated menus and use only common fonts, if the font isn't on a visitors computer their browser will use the default font instead.
Navigation must be easy with every page having a link back to the homepage and don't use frames, they're seriously outdated, users don't like them and spiders ignore them.
Avoid cluttering your site, spread it out or onto more pages. Keep the text brief, unless it's something the visitor wants to read they'll soon get bored and go off to another site.
– REMEMBER WHY PEOPLE USE THE INTERNET –
Ignoring porn and all that stuff, the primary use of the internet is for information so make your pages informative. The space travel website could include information about the universe, each of the planets in the solar system, a history of space flight and so on. This will generate a lot more traffic which in turn is likely to lead to more links and ultimately a higher ranking.
– IGNORE SEO COMPANIES –
You probably receive e-mails from companies offering to get you higher rankings in the search engines. Their number one concern isn't your site but their balance sheet, treat them the same as you would with an e-mail for Viagra and hit delete. They do work to an extent but not by doing anything you can't do for free. Google get e-mails from companies offering to help rank their own site, see what else Google have to say about these companies… http://www.google.com/webmasters/seo.html
– CONSIDER ADWORDS –
You pay for these, how much you pay is up to you. If someone enters a search phrase that matches your adwords then your ad is displayed on the results page. If more than one ad matches then they're displayed in the order of who pays most for their adwords.
– SPREAD THE WORD –
Just tell people about your site and add posts in relevant forums, blogs etc.
– BE PATIENT –
In general the longer a site is around the better it does in the search engine rankings, largely because as time passes more and more sites will link to it. If your site relates to a popular subject you may find it ranks low down to start with then climbs steadily in the rankings, it could take years before you have a good ranking.
– THE END –
Hope this gives you something to go on and you get the traffic you want.
