Web 2.0 is all the rage on the internet nowdays taking the web by storm.

I have listed 11 quick tips for utilizing Web 2.0 to generate lots of traffic to your website if done correctly. Following these tips will get your website listed in the search engines rather quickly.

The first thing I’d recommend you do is create an XML sitemap of your website and submit it to www.Google.com/webmasters. This will notify Google you exist (you have a website) and it will send their bots over to check it out.

Next you want to create a profile on www.Facebook.com and include links to your website.

You want to do the same thing with www.MySpace.com

Go to www.StumbleUpon.com and Stumble Upon your website. If you can, get your friends to do it too.

Create a free account at www.LinkedIn.com

Got to www.Digg.com and Digg your website.

Head on over to www.OnlyWire.com social network and social bookmark your website

Go to www.Squidoo.com and create a lens based around your keywords and linking back to your website. If possible, create multiple lenses using different long-tail keywords related to your website.

Next, go to www.HubPages.com and create some Hub Pages based around your keywords and link back to your site. Like Squidoo, if you can create multiple pages around different keywords and link them back to your site.

A fairly new site is www.Qassia.com I recently became aware of. Sign up for an account there and put some Intel on their website linking through to yours.

Go to www.DMoz.org and submit your website there.

And if you haven’t already, install a blog on your website. If you’re already using Wordpress - high five! Search engines LOVE blogs and especially the Wordpress script.

Now the good thing about a blog is that it is “fresh content” as far as the search engines are concerned. They like it because it means your site is being regularly updated and so it is more likely to be relevant.

Put articles and information that is of revelance on your site, follow all the steps above 2-3 times a week for 30 days and you’ll be dealing with more traffic than you’ll know what to do with.

Can’t forget about YouTube either but that’s for a different day.
