Some people think that if they create a website and go online,
there are automatic links for people trying to find what they have
to offer. It doesn't really work that way. There are probably
40 billion websites up by now. If not more.
If someone is going to search for something, you figure out what
are the most likely terms they'd use and use them on a search engine
to link your site to. For instance, if you are a consumer looking for
painters in your city, you'd go to google, or whatever search engine
and type in "painting los angeles." Ideally, if you arrange it, you
come up in a prominent position, on the first page of search results.
That's how traffic is driven to websites. Companies who want to sell
ad space on their sites will position themselves to be the ones who
come up first.
