I wish to drive traffic to my website @ www.harkeshrubber.com through SEO optimization. I have been trying to do this through IBP which is quite a good software but it cannot increase the number of times a spider visits my site. I need to get some good links to my site through which the page rank improves, can someone please advise how do I go about doing that?

I have some other websites as well for which I pay around 1000 USD per year like www.diaphragm-manufacturers.com and www.rubberseal.in. Whenever I am paying for these sites they start generating more traffic than the existing site within a week. The content of the original site is much better still it does not rank higher, so I understand that link building is the most important thing here.

So what is the best way of doing that?

Updating your content frequently is the best way to bring back search engines. Also, you'll want to have your keywords and descriptions correct - not too long though, about 25 words is sufficient.

If you are asking what is the best way for link building...
On my site, I have a main menu on the left hand side of every page, which includes links to nearly all parts of my site (forum, articles, blog, links, about-us, contact etc.). At the top of every page, I have another menu (horizontal) which contains just the main parts of my site I want people to visit (like the forum and articles).

An important thing is to have a link to the homepage on every other page, wherever it is - top, bottom, left, right, doesn't matter once it's there.
