Question: How can I get more people to notice my website?
Answer: One of the greatest drawbacks of Do-It-Yourself website builders is that they are notoriously difficult to optimize for the search engines. Search engines are a vital traffic source for any company. If your site is not ranking well, you should think about moving the website to OneUSA.Com so that your website gets noticed more.
Question: My website is pretty, but nobody is visiting. I even signed up with Facebook, Linked-in and Twitter, but still no website hits.
Answer: The aesthetics of your site is really not in question. Your question is traffic-related and while it's important to have an aesthetically pleasing site, if no one is finding it, my suggestion is to migrate your site to a 'true' website host that offers Full Service hosting - which includes:
- design assistance,
- technical assistance,
- in-house work to create the correct HTML tags, Paragraph tags, Header tags, Alt Image tags - and all of the 'invisible attributes' that can tell the search engines what your website is about.

Search engines glean the vast majority of their information from textual content and they prioritize this content based on the invisible HTML tags within the HTML coding of the web pages. While search engines can still read the text on your site, the lack of textual tags leaves them no way to prioritize it - which is killing your SEO!
Example: One of the problems with Intuit and similar site builders is they do not incorporate textual tags into the coding of their sites. There are no paragraph tags, header tags, or any of the technical characteristics that the search engines use to rank websites. This seriously detracts from a site's search friendliness.
You want to increase traffic? You need to get found!
The vast majority of people searching for products online use search engines to find them.
All of the search engines remain popular because they deliver "fresh relevant content" to their visitors.
If you are not showing up in search, you are not getting found. It's as simple as that.
