Your site needs to have unique information that's not available elsewhere on the net.

<jokes apart>
Optimize your site for search engines
Disregard the idea above. . . its crap, your site doesn't need to have info thts not available elsewhere (Seun, don't scare people please).
Your site needs to be among the first to answer present when people seek for an information. SERP
Spread the word, make noise, post hand bills, annoy neighbors and put stickers on their bumpers.
Put dog tags labelled with your domain on your neighbors dogs, chickens also
Submit your site to listings
Trade links with sites in the same niche as yours.
I'm tired of typing.

Erm, what if i type "chicken" or "goat" into the google search? what determines if i get
local fowl or agric fowl?

Again, if you type something like olodo into google search, the first site to display is - nairaland, whereas if you type
oloshi - nairaland will still come up in the first page of google. . . . . .for reasons best known to us

Awesome! That just fixes the last piece of my puzzle.

Truth be told, there are no kind of words not found on Nairaland so there must always be a result from the forum once a search is made on search engines.

Now this one is really funny, i typed "olodo rabata" - google even helped me to autocomplete the rabata - and of course, the number one site is nairaland.

So who is teaching google all these languages? hmmm, Oh my Nairaland, what word used as keyword will not bring up results from your pages?

Am rily laffing my ass out on dis one. . . The annoying part is 'm mobile atm. .DC's 1st post was hilarious nd DHTML killed it. . Awesome

You need to have useful information that's not available/accessible elsewhere on the net. I don talk.

there are backdoor means, buying hits and all those other stuffs. Making websites seo compatible.
And so many other ways.

Ok, simple.

The first thing you need to do is too build a large backlink, become active on nairaland, very very active.

A client has a writeup here here that will help you out: http://incomepanel.com/5-reasons-your-site-is-not-getting-good-traffic/

Backdoor means can't take you very far if the fundamentals are not there. People will come to your site and immediately click the back button because you have nothing to offer. If you spend the same amount of time working on content, and a little time just getting the SEO basics right, you'll go further. You just have to sit down and think about what value you can add to the www. There's lots of room for original local content.

You are very correct. There is not backdoor to traffic. You must play you game well to impress the almighty Google

These are the SEO basics you need to know:
