When I build a website, I want it to get indexed by the search engines quickly.  My reasoning behind this philosophy is that the quicker that my site is listed in the search engines, the quicker I will get free traffic from them.

In order to do this, I make a point of submitting my site to a business directory or two that I know are high ranked sites.  I do make a point of making sure that these directories are related to the content of my own site, but usually I can find at least a couple that work out perfectly.

Another easy way to get some traffic quickly is listing my site on a link bid directory or two.  In these cases, I can easily take top spot and get even more quality traffic to my site.

Even though I do go for the quick traffic to my sites, I do have a website promotion strategy in place for the long term to ensure that I get quality traffic now and into the future.
